"Psychic" monsters are the first new Type of monster to be released in a while, and had their debut in "The Duelist Genesis". The Psychic types seen so far often resemble robots or cyborgs, and often feature elements of cyberspace, circuit board patterns, green coloring ,and yellow electricity in their art. It is worth noting that many Psychic-Type monsters resemble what in the past were Machines, Fiends, or Spellcasters (such as Mutant Mindmaster, Mind on Air and especially Jinzo, whose OCG name actually has "Psycho" in it). The majority of their effects and support Spell Cards require you to pay Life Points, while the Synchro Monsters and Trap Cards focus heavily upon restoring Life Points. The tendency of a Psychic-user's Life Points to change rapidly during a duel allow a cunning player to make the most of cards such as "Megamorph" and optional cards that require Life Point payment, like "Solemn Judgement". Psychics also support a heavy Synchro element with cards like Emergency Teleport, "Magical Android", "Thought Ruler Archfiend" and "Overdrive Teleporter."
No WATER or FIRE attribute Psychic-Type monsters have been released. In addition, there are also no Normal, Ritual or Fusion Psychic-Type monsters.
Prominent Psychic monsters include "Mind Master", "Psychic Snail", "Psychic Commander", "Krebons", "Thought Ruler Archfiend", "Storm Caller", "Magical Android", "Psychic Lifetrancer", and the TCG-exclusive, "Overdrive Teleporter".
In Crimson Crisis , Psychics got the only Level 9 Synchro Monster- "Hyper Psychic Blaster". In addition to this, one of the three released Level 11 monsters is a Psychic-Type, "Hyper Psychic Blaster/Assault Mode"
In Ancient Prophecy, Psychics get a new TCG Exclusive: "Psychic Emperor".
In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Sayer uses Psychic-Type monsters.
So far, including the TCG-exclusive Cards, there have been 43 Psychic Cards released, 20 Monsters, 10 Spells, 9 Traps and 4 Synchro Monsters which allow a player to play a 40 Card Deck with every released Psychic Card as long as they add "Assault Mode Activate" to the Deck, allowing each Card to be used.
