'''Normal Monsters''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|通|つう}}{{Ruby|常|じょう}}モンスター ''Tsūjō Monsutā''), colored yellow, are [[Main Deck]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] with no [[card effect|monster effects]]. In the card description box (which contains the effect on [[Effect Monster]]s), Normal Monsters include a brief description of its lore. Starting from ''[[Starter Deck: Link Strike]]'' onwards, all Normal Monsters also include the designation "/Normal" on their [[Type]]/[[Ability]] lines.

Only Monster Cards with "yellow" backgrounds are Normal Monsters. There are [[Tuner monster|Tuner]] and [[Pendulum Monster|Pendulum]] Normal Monsters, such as "[[Tune Warrior]]" and "[[Flash Knight]]". [[Non-Effect Monster|Non-Effect]] [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]], [[Ritual Monster|Ritual]], [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]], [[Xyz Monster|Xyz]] and [[Link Monster|Link]] Monsters are not Normal Monsters. Some non-Normal Monsters can be [[Treated as a Normal Monster|treated as Normal Monsters with card effects]], most notably [[Gemini monster]]s and some [[Trap Monster]]s.
+
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'').

The card text (or ''flavor text'') on Normal Monsters is for illustrative purposes only, and has no effect on gameplay (except [[archetype condition]]s, such as on "[[Summoned Skull]]" and "[[Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts]]" in the English ''TCG''). These texts provide lore on how the monster related to other cards in the game, such as the flavor text of "[[Opticlops]]" which explicitly states that it serves "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]".

There are [[Tuner monster|Tuner]] and [[Pendulum Monster|Pendulum]] Normal Monsters. [[Special Summon Monster]]s with [[Non-Effect Monster|no effects]] are not Normal Monsters. Some non-Normal Monsters can be [[Treated as a Normal Monster|treated as Normal Monsters with card effects]], most notably [[Gemini monster]]s and some [[Trap Monster]]s; [[Token]]s are treated as Normal Monsters on the field.

==History==
−
Though they do not have inherent effects, there are often [[Spell Card|Spell]], [[Trap Card|Trap]], or [[Effect Monster|Monster]] effects associated with specific Normal Monsters. For example, "[[Dark Magic Attack]]" can only be used with "[[Dark Magician]]", "[[Huge Revolution]]" can only be activated with 3 specific Normal Monsters on the field, and "[[X-Head Cannon]]", "[[V-Tiger Jet]]" and "[[Dark Blade]]" are the specific targets for three specific [[Union monster]]s.
+
In the ''[[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]'', [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|manga]], and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|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 Pack]]s contained Normal Monsters and even those that do contain very few.
  
−
Normal Monsters have received some very powerful support cards for general use, such as "[[Birthright]]", "[[Summoner's Art]]", "[[Knight of the Red Lotus]]", "[[Princess Cologne (card)|Princess Cologne]]", "[[Terratiger, the Empowered Warrior|Terratiger]]" and "[[Ventdra, the Empowered Warrior]]", "[[White Tiger Summoner|White Tiger]]" and "[[Blue Dragon Summoner]]", "[[Dark Factory of Mass Production]]", and "[[Creepy Coney]]". The Normal [[Pendulum Monster]]s "[[Dragon Horn Hunter]]" and "[[Lancephorhynchus]]" support Normal Monsters. "[[Thunder End Dragon]]" has a powerful effect, but requires 2 Normal Monsters in order to be [[Xyz Summon]]ed.
+
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.
  
−
"[[Rescue Rabbit]]" can Special Summon 2 Level 4 or lower Normal Monsters from the Deck, providing quick access to Xyz Monsters; this effect is so useful that [[Dino Rabbit]] Decks are built entirely around it.
+
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.
  
−
Some Normal Monster support focuses on low-Level Normal Monsters (typically [[Level]] 3 or lower). There are cards that allow the Special Summon of large numbers of low-Level Normal Monsters from the Deck (such as "[[Human-Wave Tactics]]" and "[[Enchanting Fitting Room]]"), to then be powered up with cards like "[[Triangle Power]]", "[[Amulet of Ambition]]", and "[[Sword of the Soul-Eater]]", or used to get rid of the opponent's cards with "[[The Law of the Normal]]".
+
In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel]]'', Normal Monsters are mostly used in tandem with Effect Monsters, and Spell/Trap Cards.

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[edit]

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.
