Non-Effect Monster
A non-Effect Monster is a Monster Card without a monster effect. This includes all Normal Monsters (including Normal Pendulum Monsters, Token Monsters and Gemini monsters while treated as Normal Monsters) and certain Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link Monsters.
Contents
Classification[edit]
Non-Normal Monsters are non-Effect Monsters in the following cases:
Ritual Monsters whose lore only contains their Ritual Summoning condition. ("Magician of Black Chaos")
Fusion Monsters whose lore only contains their Fusion Materials. ("Flame Swordsman")
Synchro Monsters whose lore only contains their Synchro Materials. ("Gaia Knight, the Force of Earth")
Xyz Monsters whose lore only contains their Xyz Materials. ("Gem-Knight Pearl")
Link Monsters whose lore only contains their Link Materials. ("Gaia Saber, the Lightning Shadow")
Even if the only card text on an Effect Monster Card is a condition, such as "Cyber Harpie Lady" and "Exodia the Forbidden One", that monster is not treated as a non-Effect Monster.
Token Monsters are treated as non-Effect Monsters and will be affected by "Non-Spellcasting Area"; however, Tokens cannot be sent to the Graveyard as a cost, and thus will not work with "White Elephant's Gift".

Non-Effect Monsters being given effects[edit]
Some cards can give non-Effect Monsters an effect when used as a Material for their Summon, or as part of the requirement for their Ritual Summon. If a non-Effect Monster is given an effect this way, the monster becomes an Effect Monster, so can be affected by cards like "Effect Veiler" and "Skill Drain".[1]
Some cards, such as "Sword Hunter", can grant effects to Monster Cards they equip to themselves as Equip Spell Cards, even cards that are originally non-Effect Monsters.
