The usual [[Attribute]]s associated with Plants are [[EARTH]] or [[WATER]]. Plant cards usually revolve around swarming and regenerating back onto the field. Unlike [[Zombie]]s, Plants are often used to fuel effects such as negations rather than for strictly attacking purposes. They have many cards that allow them to be Special Summoned from the Deck and hand but mostly from the Graveyard. Cards like "Lonefire Blossom", "[[Plant Food Chain]]", "Lord Poison", "Gigaplant", "[[The World Tree]]" and "[[Miracle Fertilizer]]" all add major support to bringing back a swarm of Plant monsters to overwhelm the opponent. There are many good Plant-Type [[Tuner monster]]s, like "[[Copy Plant]]" and "Spore".
Plant-Type monsters are used by [[Akiza Izinski]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''. Her [[signature card]], "[[Black Rose Dragon]]", is a [[staple]] in Plant-reliant Decks. Plant-Type monsters also appear in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]],'' used by [[Tombo Tillbitty]] and [[Lotus Hanazoe]]. Tombo plays with a "[[Tomato]]" deck, while Lotus plays a Plant deck with a focus on Special Summoning Plants to Xyz Summon "[[Battlecruiser Dianthus]]," which is later Ranked Up to Summon "[[CXyz Battleship Cherry Blossom]]". In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'', [[Yuri]] uses a "[[Predator PlantPredaplant]]" Deck focused on manipulating the stats of the opponent's monsters to weaken them, disrupting their strategies, or using them as [[Fusion Material]]s for their own bosses.
''[[Legacy of the Valiant]]'' introduced the "[[Sylvan]]" Archetype, the first one composed solely of Plant-Type monsters. They introduced the ''[[Excavate]]'' mechanic to the game, have a high variety of Levels and Attributes, being able to build a very flexible Deck, and their effects rely on taking advantage of when they are excavated and sent to the Graveyard; those effects range from [[Sylvan Cherubsprout|searching a monster]] and [[Sylvan Lotuswain|recycling cards]] to [[Sylvan Marshalleaf|destroying a monster]] and [[Sylvan Hermitree|reorganizing the Deck]] in order to use their effects at their best.
