With Strike of Neos' release, an effective combination of Normal and Ritual monsters can be achieved. The Ritual Spell Card, "[[Advanced Ritual Art]]" will allow you to Ritual Summon any Ritual Monster in your hand by sending Normal Monsters taken from the deck to the graveyard, as long as the taken monsters are the same level as the monster Ritual Summoned. Furthermore, there are several Ritual monsters specifically geared towards Normal Monsters. "[[Cú Chulainn the Awakened]]" has the ability to [[banish]] Normal Monsters to increase its ATK by the ATK of the banished monster, until the beginning of your next Standby Phase. Using Normal Monsters such as "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" or "[[Tri-Horned Dragon]]" can power-up this card to over 3000 ATK. When the Ritual Monster "[[Lycanthrope]]" does battle damage to the opponent's Life Points, it has the ability to damage the opponent's Life Points by 200 multiplied by the number of Normal Monsters in your Graveyard.
"[[First of the Dragons]]" is an effective 2700 ATK [[Fusion Monster]] due to only requiring any 2 Normal Monsters as [[Fusion Material|Fusion material]], cannot be destroyed by battle except by another Normal Monster and is unaffected by other monster effects. It is worth considering, but be aware that it can only be [[Fusion Summon|Fusion Summoned]] and you cannot control more than one at a time.
Low Level Normal Monster Decks have also received a boost from the release of "[[Rescue Rabbit]]", which allows them to perform an instant [[Xyz Summon]]s.
