'''Normal Monsters''', colored yellow, are primarily used to protect your [[Life Points]] from [[Direct Damage]], and to offer high [[ATK]] for use against your opponent, in exchange for having no effect. They ''usually'' possess basic stats; [[ATK]], [[DEF]], [[Level]], [[Attribute]], [[Type]], and more often than not, one value is sacrificed to benefit another. High [[ATK]] and low [[DEF]] Normal Monsters are often associated with [[Beatdown Deck]]s. Normal Monsters are popularly called '''Vanilla''', both as a reference to how they are "plain" with no effects as well as to the creamy yellow color of their cards.

Though they do not have inherent effects, there are often [[Spell Cards|Spell]], [[Trap Cards|Trap]] or [[Effect Monsters|Effect Monster]] effects associated with specific Normal Monsters. For example, "[[Dark Magic Attack]]" can only be used with "[[Dark Magician]]", and "[[X-Head Cannon]]" is the only legal target for two specific [[Union Monsters]]. Normal Monsters have received some very powerful support cards for general use, such as "[[Birthright]]", "[[Silent Doom]]", "[[Ancient Rules]]", "[[Symbols of Duty]]", "[[Justi-Break]]" and "[[Dark Factory of Mass Production]]". In general, Normal Monsters have many more legal options for being Summoned back to the field from the [[Graveyard]] than [[Effect Monsters]] ("[[Call of the Haunted]]", "[[Premature Burial]]" and "[[Monster Reborn]]" being the most popular). [[Gemini Monsters]] take advantage of the more varied options for Summoning Normal Monsters back to the field.

A subset of Normal Monster support is devoted to that of Normal Monsters that are low in Level (typically Level 3 or lower), allowing them to be summoned out of the deck ''en masse'' to flood the field with cards like "[[Human-Wave Tactics]]" or "[[Enchanting Fitting Room]]," to then be powered up with cards like "[[Triangle Power]]", "[[Amulet of Ambition]]", or "[[Sword of the Soul-Eater]]," or to wipe all of the opponent's cards in their Hand and on their field away with "[[The Law of the Normal]]".

In the card text box (which contains the effect on [[Effect Monster]]s), Normal Monster Cards include a piece of [[flavor text]] with no effect on gameplay; very rarely however, a Normal Monster's card text will feature an [[archetype condition]], which has an effect on gameplay (e.g. "[[Summoned Skull]]" and "[[Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts]]" in the English ''TCG'').

Lists

Normal Monsters (Japanese: 通（つう）常（じょう）モンスター Tsūjō Monsutā) are a subcategory of monsters with no monster effects. Normal Monster Cards have a yellow card frame, and, starting from Starter Deck: Link Strike onwards, include the designation "/Normal" on their Type/Ability lines. All Normal Monster Cards are Main Deck cards.

In the card text box (which contains the effect on Effect Monsters), Normal Monster Cards include a piece of flavor text with no effect on gameplay; very rarely however, a Normal Monster's card text will feature an archetype condition, which has an effect on gameplay (e.g. "Summoned Skull" and "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" in the English TCG).

There are Tuner and Pendulum Normal Monsters. Special Summon Monsters with no effects are not Normal Monsters. Some non-Normal Monsters can be treated as Normal Monsters with card effects, most notably Gemini monsters and some Trap Monsters; Tokens are treated as Normal Monsters on the field.

History

In the OCG/TCG, manga, and anime, Normal Monsters were originally the most common monsters. However, as the game's strategies evolved, Effect Monsters became more common and fewer Normal Monsters were released or reprinted. For a time, very few Booster Packs contained Normal Monsters and even those that do contain very few.

Following the introduction of Pendulum Monsters, Normal Monsters saw a slight resurgence in Booster Packs, in the form of Normal Pendulum Monsters. Still, traditional Normal Monsters began to see a comeback during the New Master Rules for various strategies and in the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 121, Jack Atlas mentioned the history of Normal Monsters while discussing the Decks of Team Taiyo, which largely contained Normal Monsters.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel, Normal Monsters are mostly used in tandem with Effect Monsters, and Spell/Trap Cards.
