'''EARTH''' [[Monster Cards({{Ruby|地|monsters]] are powerful cards focused both on brute strength and rock-solid Defense. EARTH monsters tie with DARK for being among the most numerous and widespread; unless a deck ち}} ''Chi'') is specifically themed around a particular Attribute, it will almost always have a few EARTH monsters. Decks dedicated to EARTH will often be able to pound an unprepared opponent into the dust; though they rely less heavily upon special effects to win the day, what effects they do have often enhance their combat abilities, such as "[[Ultimate TyrannoAttribute]]"in ''s ability to attack every opposing monster in one turn. [[Dinosaur]], [[Warrior]], [[Rock]], [[Beast]], [[BeastYu-Warrior]], [[Psychic]], and [[Plant]]Gi-[[Type]]s are the most common Earth monsters, though [[Zombie]] and [[Machine]] are also quite frequent, there are others of many different [[Type]]s. Earth is usually thought of as the opposite of [[WIND]], though there is no direct advantage other than in certain video games (even if this idea also appears in the effects of some cards like "[[Desert Twister]]", "[[Milus Radiant]]" or "[[Bladefly]]"). In a few other contexts it is also seen as the "neutral" element between [[DARK]] and [[LIGHT]], as seen in cards like "[[Sky Scourge Invicil]]" and "[[Warrior of Zera]]"Oh!''.

Those include: "[[Giant Rat]]"However, EARTH is also often used as a "[[Milus Radiant]]default", or "[[The Rock Spirit]]neutral"Attribute, "[[Gigantes]]" and "[[Warrior Lady of the Wasteland]]" applied to monsters whose traits are not significant enough for Earth [[Warrior]]s. They also have some, albeit not much, spell and trap support such as "[[Gaia Power]]" and "[[Spiritual Earth Art - Kurogane]]"them to be specifically categorized into any other Attribute.
