"'''Naturia'''" (ナチュル ''Nachuru''), known as "'''Naturu'''" in the Japanese version, is an [[EARTH]]-[[Attribute]] [[archetype]] from ''[[Duel Terminal - Justice Strikes Back!!]]'', ''[[Duel Terminal - Demon Roar God Revival!!]]'', ''[[Duel Terminal - Champion of Chaos!!]]'' and ''[[Duel Terminal - Pulse of the Trishula]]''. Their effects center around limiting, or gaining advantages from, the opponent's [[Spell Card|Spell]], [[Trap Card|Trap]], and [[Monster Card]]s when activated/Summoned. Despite their low ATK and DEF, "Naturia" monsters are surprisingly quick and can control the field easily.

"'''Naturia'''" (ナチュル ''Nachuru''), known as "'''Naturu'''" in the Japanese version, is an [[EARTH]]-[[Attribute]] [[archetype]] from ''[[Duel Terminal - Justice Strikes Back!!]]'', ''[[Duel Terminal - Demon Roar God Revival!!]]'', ''[[Duel Terminal - Champion of Chaos!!]]'' and ''[[Duel Terminal - Pulse of the Trishula]]''. Naturia monsters are composed of various Types, but all of them are related to forest life (much like [[Sylvan]], albeit different), such as [[Plant]]s, [[Insect]]s, [[Rock]]s, a few [[Beast]]s, and even a [[Naturia Barkion|Dragon]]. Their effects center around limiting, or gaining advantages from, the opponent's [[Spell Card|Spell]], [[Trap Card|Trap]], and [[Monster Card]]s when activated/Summoned. Despite their low ATK and DEF, if built correctly, Naturia monsters can be surprisingly quick and control the field easily.

"Naturia" monsters tend to be of various types, but all relate in some way to forest life, such as [[Plant]]s, [[Insect]]s, [[Rock]]s, a few [[Beast]]s, and even a [[Naturia Barkion|Dragon]], thus benefiting as a group from the "[[Forest]]" Field Spell Card. "Naturia" monsters also have their own Field Spell Card, "[[Naturia Forest]]". Most of them have low ATK and DEF, but can swarm the field rapidly as the opponent uses card effects, facilitating the Special Summon of a few powerful Synchro and Xyz Monsters. Since several of the monsters Summon themselves from the Hand or Deck during the opponent's turn, copies of "[[Urgent Tuning]]" come in very handy in a Deck dedicated to "Naturia" monsters.
+
Almost all Naturia monsters have effects that can be activated to respond at any action your opponent may commits, thus this deck's main strategy always revolves around control or even stun-esque approach. In fact, their main Synchro Monsters (except "[[Naturia Leodrake]]") have effects that can negate the activation of specific card types ([[Naturia Beast|Spell]]/[[Naturia Barkion|Trap]]/[[Naturia Landoise|Effect Monster]]), further reinforcing the control aspect. "[[Naturia Bamboo Shoot]]", in particular can completely blocks your opponent from activating any Spell/Trap Card (if Tribute Summoned by Tributing Naturia monster), thus becoming center focus in most Naturia-based decks.
  
−
Many "Naturia" monsters are able to prevent the opponent's actions, often by using other "Naturia" monsters as a cost. A well-constructed "Naturia" Deck can completely lock down an opponent, as there are "Naturia" monsters able to negate the effects of Spell Cards, Trap Cards, Normal Summons and Special Summons. This is balanced by many of them simply not having very high ATK or DEF, with the exception of "[[Naturia Leodrake]]", which has no effects.
+
Besides Bamboo Shoot, there are also Naturia monsters whose effects reacts to your opponent's action regarding their monster, like "[[Naturia Mantis]]" (can destroy monsters the moment it is Normal Summoned), "[[Naturia Horneedle]]" (can destroy monsters upon being Special Summoned), "[[Naturia Antjaw]]" (can Special Summon Naturia monsters each time your opponent Special Summons), and "[[Naturia Pumpkin]]" (Special Summon another Naturia monster if your opponent has a monster). For defense purpose, they have cards like "[[Naturia Cliff]]", "[[Naturia Cherries]]", and "[[Naturia Beans]]", while "[[Naturia Sacred Tree]]" can improve the deck's consistency, and "[[Naturia Marron]]" can recycle monsters in place of "[[Pot of Avarice]]" (which is currently Forbidden).
  
−
When composed right, A "Naturia" Deck can be a solid and competitive Deck choice that can completely lock the opponent down. One of the main strategies of "Naturia" monsters is to get "[[Naturia Bamboo Shoot]]" out as quickly as possible (because its effect is extremely debilitating and, when combined with cards like "[[Naturia Mantis]]" and "[[Solemn Warning]]", can stop the opponent from doing much of anything) which is quite easy with some cards that thin the Deck such as "[[Naturia Cliff]]" and "[[Pot of Duality]]".
+
Their Fusion Monsters, "[[Naturia Exterio]]" and "[[Naturia Gaiastralio]]" have powerful control effects, combined with their high ATK, can be easily Summoned with "[[Miracle Synchro Fusion]]" or "[[The Earth - Hex-Sealed Fusion]]" (for "Exterio"), can be very devastating to your opponent as well.
  
−
The most popular "Naturia" Decks focus on one of two things. The first is Synchro spamming (abusing the effects of various "Naturia" monsters to Special Summon and Synchro as fast as possible). This type of Deck focuses on deploying the "Naturia" Synchros because their lockdown effects will overwhelm your opponent, although you can also choose to Summon the staple Synchros. The other type of "Naturia" build is an "Exterio" build, which revolves around getting "[[Naturia Exterio]]" out on the field and abusing its effect. "[[Miracle Synchro Fusion]]" greatly assists this Deck.  
+
Since all Naturia monsters are [[EARTH]], cards like "[[Giant Rat]]", "[[Gigantes]]", "[[Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders]]", and "[[Grandsoil the Elemental Lord]]" can be included as well.
  
−
Other ways to build a "Naturia" Deck are:
+
==Variants==
  
−
* The "Naturia" [[EARTH]] variant. This variant takes support from the Naturias and other EARTH cards such as "[[Giant Rat]]", "[[Gigantes]]", and "[[Gaia Power]]". This variant also helps the "Naturia" Synchros since all of them require EARTH monsters as part of their material. "Giant Rat" helps keep monsters on the field which makes Synchro Summons and swarming easy.
+
===Pure Naturia===
 +
This deck centered around utilizing Naturia monsters to respond to your opponent's moves, focusing mostly on control-based approach. "[[Naturia Mantis]]" and "[[Naturia Horneedle]]" can destroy your opponent's monster upon being Summoned, "[[Naturia Antjaw]]", "[[Naturia Cosmobeet]]", "[[Naturia Cherries]]", "[[Naturia Cliff]]" and "[[Naturia Pumpkin]]" provides swarming capabilities, "[[Naturia Butterfly]]" and "[[Naturia Stinkbug]]" can stop your opponent's attacks, "[[Naturia Marron]]" and "[[Naturia Eggplant]]" recycle your cards, and "[[Naturia Bamboo Shoot]]" and "[[Naturia Rosewhip]]" can restrict your opponent's Spells and Traps. Since Naturia monsters usually has low ATK, cards like "[[Naturia Fruitfly]]" and "[[Gaia Power]]" are sometimes used, to weaken your opponent's monster and strengthening your own, respectively. To increase consistency, cards like "[[Upstart Goblin]]", "[[Reckless Greed]]", "[[Pot of Duality]]", and especially, "[[Naturia Sacred Tree]]" can be included as well.
  
−
* The "Naturia" Plant variant. This type of "Naturia" build utilizes "Naturia" and other Plant-Types (hence the name) to beat the opponent down with "[[Tytannial, Princess of Camellias]]" and lock the opponent down with plant support as well as the "Naturia" support. This Deck type is effective because it limits your opponent's moves as well as toolboxing your Deck and [[Graveyard]].  "[[Naturia Pineapple]]" greatly helps "Naturia" Plants as it is basically a "[[Treeborn Frog]]" for this Deck type. Unfortunately it does not help the "Naturia" archetype as a whole.
+
===Naturia Plant===
 +
This build utilizes Naturia monsters along with Plant-Type supports such as "[[Lonefire Blossom]]" and "[[Dandylion]]", aiming to compose locks as soon as possible with "[[Naturia Bamboo Shoot]]" combined with the [[Plant Princess]]es such as "[[Tytannial, Princess of Camellias]]" and/or "[[Talaya, Princess of Cherry Blossoms]]". This Deck have easy swarming capabilities thanks to "[[Lonefire Blossom]]", "[[Chirubimé, Princess of Autumn Leaves]]", "[[Meliae of the Trees]]" and "[[Miracle Fertilizer]]", while also capable of using Plant-related supports like "[[Mark of the Rose]]", "[[Pollinosis]]", and "[[Queen of Thorns]]".
  
−
* The "Naturia" Insect variant. This variant isn't as well known as the above but it is a solid Deck choice. This Deck uses the Insects of the "Naturia" archetype plus the Insect support such as "[[Naturia Stag Beetle]]", "Naturia Mantis", "[[Verdant Sanctuary]]", "[[Doom Dozer]]" and more to quickly swarm the field. Usually some of the key "Naturia" cards are not played in this Deck because it hinders the Deck's consistency ("Naturia Bamboo Shoot", "Naturia Cliff", etc.)
+
===Naturia Traptrix===
 +
This variant combine Naturia monsters along with the suite of [[Traptrix]] cards. "[[Traptrix Myrmeleo]]" and "[[Traptrix Dionaea]]" are the ones commonly used to provide more control aspect to the deck in form of [[Trap Hole (archetype)|Trap Hole]] cards such as "[[Traptrix Trap Hole Nightmare]]" and "[[Time-Space Trap Hole]]", while also allowing access to plethora of Rank 4 Xyz Monsters. Naturia cards like "[[Naturia Cliff]]" and "[[Naturia Cherries]]" are commonly used to provide defensive capabilities while also provides Tribute fodder for "[[Naturia Bamboo Shoot]]". "[[Naturia Sacred Tree]]" is very integral in this deck, allowing you to get the right monster at the right time, improving this deck's consistency drastically.
  
−
* The "Naturia" Stun variant. This is basically "[[Naturia Bamboo Shoot]]", some other Naturias, and the normal Stun cards ("[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]", "[[Doomcaliber Knight]]", etc), which focuses on locking down your opponent's options, much like [[Anti-Meta]] Decks.
+
===Naturia Stun/Anti-Meta===
 +
Focused around Summoning "[[Naturia Bamboo Shoot]]" as soon as possible, combined with Anti-Meta cards such as "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]", "[[Doomcaliber Knight]]", and "[[Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo]]". If combined with "[[Majesty's Fiend]]" and "[[Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo]]" or "[[Cactus Bouncer]]", you can prevent your opponent from doing basically everything.  
  
−
* The next variant has come to be called Pineapple Cat/Beast. It's basically "[[Naturia Pineapple]]", "[[Naturia Bamboo Shoot]]", the good plant Naturias, Plant support, some Beast supporters (an ideal support for this build would be "[[Snyffus]]") and "[[Rescue Cat]]" (traditional format)  + "[[Summoner Monk]]", "[[Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter]]" etc.
+
===Naturia Reversal OTK===
−
 
+
This deck focusing on interactions between "[[Naturia Mosquito]]" along with small-ATK Naturia cards such as "[[Naturia Beans]]", "[[Naturia Cherries]]" and "[[Naturia Cliff]]", to create OTK strategy in the same way as "[[Daigusto Sphreez]]" in [[Gusto]] decks. To get "Mosquito" easier, cards like "[[One for One]]" and "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]" can be used to provide the necessary components for completing the OTK.  
−
* The Naturia Stall variant. The point of this Deck is to make your opponent unable to attack you, nor use [[Spell]] or [[Trap]] Cards by playing "[[Twilight Rose Knight]]", "[[Naturia Bamboo Shoot]]", and "[[Naturia Pineapple]]". Having Tytannial helps [[negate]] monster effects. The point is to keep your monsters safe until you can muster a knockout. Instead of "[[Naturia Pineapple|Pineapple]]", you may opt to use "[[DNA Surgery]]" to change all monsters to Plant-Type, then support them using Plant-related Traps like "[[Wall of Thorns]]" and "[[Pollinosis]]".
 
−
 
 
−
* This variant is called Naturia Monarchs. It abuses "[[Naturia Cosmobeet]]" and "[[Naturia Cherries]]" to have them swarm the field and tribute for [[Monarchs]] like Caius and Mobius. "[[Dandylion]]" can be dumped to the graveyard with cards like "[[Foolish Burial]]" and "[[Koa'ki Meiru Gravirose]]". Other cards like "[[Double Summon]]" and "[[Naturia Pumpkin]]" can be used for a quick Monarch Summon. "[[Naturia Pineapple]]" shouldn't be used because of having Monarchs in the Graveyard, thus rendering Pineapple useless. This Deck, if played and built right, can be very strong.
 
−
 
 
−
* The final variant that is used the least is the Naturia Reversal variant. This variant takes advantage of the toothless Naturia monsters, particularly "[[Naturia Beans]]", to force your opponent to harm themselves via the effect of "[[Naturia Mosquito]]", usually by launching hopeless attacks against stronger monsters. A Deck centered around it can be dangerously effective because most of the current meta Decks need to attack to win, and if their attacks backfire, they'll be at great disadvantage. If combined with "[[Naturia Bamboo Shoot]]" and (if possible) "[[Destiny HERO - Plasma]]", this Deck can be almost impossible to defeat.
 
−
 
 
−
* A Naturia [[Junk]] Deck works quite well because a good part of Naturia monsters are [[Level]] 2 or lower which helps with [[Swarm]] and it can broaden your [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]] selection. Due to the fact that "[[Junk Synchron]]" is a Level 3 [[DARK]] monsters you can use it and another Level 3 Insect like "[[Naturia Fruitfly]]" to Synchro Summon cards such as "[[Underground Arachnid]]" and you could use "Junk Synchron" to Summon the Junk Synchro Monsters like "[[Junk Warrior]]", "[[Junk Archer]]", "[[Junk Destroyer]]", "[[Junk Gardna]]", and "[[Junk Berserker]]". However, the downside is "Junk Synchron" is a [[DARK]] monster so all the EARTH support has no effect on it
 
−
 
 
−
* Naturias can function quite well in a pure variant, with a large amount of supporting cards. The benefits of a pure variant are that your "[[Naturia Bamboo Shoot]]" as well as your Mantis and Pumpkin are always usable no matter what monsters you have, aside from any non Naturia synchros you might pull out of your extra deck. A pure variant can also have equal focus on "[[Naturia Bamboo Shoot]]" as well as the Naturia synchros such as "[[Naturia Landoise]]". "[[Naturia Cherries]]" and "[[Naturia Cliff]]" can easily maintain field presence while thinning the deck, allowing you to get to your Bamboo Shoot faster. "[[Naturia Pumpkin]]" plus any of the Naturia Tuners can instantly make one of the Synchros, and "[[Miracle Synchro Fusion]]" can easily make a late game "Exterio" when your "Beast" and "Barkion" are already in the Graveyard. "[[Pot of Duality]]" is a must for this deck, because it allows you to get to your "[[Naturia Bamboo Shoot]]" within the top three cards of your deck, or it shuffles the deck if it isn't within those top three cards. The Special Summon restriction isn't so bad because "Bamboo Shoot" creates a powerful lock on your opponent and can be Normal Summoned. This variant can be quite powerful, and it's even possible to bring out "Bamboo Shoot" on the second turn if you go second and open with "Cosmobeet" and "Bamboo Shoot". The main problem with this variant is that it trades off swarming and power for control, and if your opponent gets set up quickly, there isn't much you can do, which is why protecting "Bamboo Shoot" with Spell and Trap cards is a priority, especially from debilitating monster effects and powerful monsters.

"Naturias" have the potential to restrict a player in the Duel ''fast'', however, if you have the right cards and act quickly, you can 1-up "Naturias" before they can compose locks. For instance, "[[Skill Drain]]" or "[[Angel O7]]", if used early in the Duel, can cripple this Deck, since most of the Naturia [[archetype]] is composed of Effect Monsters. "[[Skill Drain]]" is the most dangerous, because it also negates Continuous effects like those of "[[Naturia Mosquito]]" and "[[Naturia Bamboo Shoot]]", rendering them useless. Siding "[[Dust Tornado]]" and the like can help, but will be dead draws against "Bamboo Shoot"; follow it up with field-clearing effects to ensure that your attacks will go through.
+
Naturia decks, despite their capabilities of composing powerful and sturdy locks, but they're naturally slow, so faster decks usually have easy time of exterminating them before they gather the necessary components for their lock. "[[Skill Drain]]" can single-handedly destroy this deck completely, since Naturia monsters are so heavily-dependent on their monster effects, and most of them have low-ATK as well that cards like "[[King Tiger Wanghu]]" and "[[Deck Devastation Virus]]" can easily prey on them.
  
−
Basic Naturias don't generally have much ATK or DEF. Strong monsters that can evade field control, such as "[[D.D. Assailant]]", "[[D.D. Warrior Lady]]" and "[[D.D. Warrior]]" can toss them out. To remedy this, run multiple "[[Wall of Thorns]]" to deny attacks on your "Bamboo Shoot", and don't attack face-down monsters without a contingency plan.
+
Naturia decks focusing on "[[Naturia Bamboo Shoot]]" also have even more challenges, since they need to protect Bamboo Shoot at all costs in order to keep their position in a Duel. "[[Effect Veiler]]" in particularly dangerous in this aspect, since it can negate Bamboo Shoot's effect ''permanently'' (since Bamboo Shoot will "forget" that it was Tribute Summoned with Naturia monster if its effect's negated). "[[Solemn Warning]]" also needs to be in consideration at all times, since it can destroy Bamboo Shoot when it is Summoned and possibly ruin your entire strategy. Also, it is vulnerable to monster effects and monsters that has higher than 2000 ATK, so cards like "[[Safe Zone]]" that can protect Bamboo Shoot from both threats are highly recommended.
  
−
Cards like "[[Dimensional Fissure]]" cause this Deck's [[lockdown]] version to fail, as "[[Naturia Stinkbug]]" and "[[Naturia Mantis]]" will be unable to pay costs by sending cards to the Graveyard. Cards like "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]" are good [[Side Deck|Sides]] against a [[D.D.]] Deck.
+
"[[Dimensional Fissure]]", "[[Macro Cosmos]]", and "[[Banisher of the Radiance]]" can cripple this deck as well, since "[[Naturia Cliff]]", and "[[Naturia Cherries]]" cannot activate their effects if they're banished, while also rendering "[[Naturia Marron]]", "[[Naturia Eggplant]]" and "[[Naturia Mantis]]" useless. "[[Rivalry of Warlords]]" can also prevent this deck from swarming, since Naturia monsters have different Types.

"Naturia" (ナチュル Nachuru), known as "Naturu" in the Japanese version, is an EARTH-Attribute archetype from Duel Terminal - Justice Strikes Back!!, Duel Terminal - Demon Roar God Revival!!, Duel Terminal - Champion of Chaos!! and Duel Terminal - Pulse of the Trishula. Naturia monsters are composed of various Types, but all of them are related to forest life (much like Sylvan, albeit different), such as Plants, Insects, Rocks, a few Beasts, and even a Dragon. Their effects center around limiting, or gaining advantages from, the opponent's Spell, Trap, and Monster Cards when activated/Summoned. Despite their low ATK and DEF, if built correctly, Naturia monsters can be surprisingly quick and control the field easily.

Playing Style

Almost all Naturia monsters have effects that can be activated to respond at any action your opponent may commits, thus this deck's main strategy always revolves around control or even stun-esque approach. In fact, their main Synchro Monsters (except "Naturia Leodrake") have effects that can negate the activation of specific card types (Spell/Trap/Effect Monster), further reinforcing the control aspect. "Naturia Bamboo Shoot", in particular can completely blocks your opponent from activating any Spell/Trap Card (if Tribute Summoned by Tributing Naturia monster), thus becoming center focus in most Naturia-based decks.

Besides Bamboo Shoot, there are also Naturia monsters whose effects reacts to your opponent's action regarding their monster, like "Naturia Mantis" (can destroy monsters the moment it is Normal Summoned), "Naturia Horneedle" (can destroy monsters upon being Special Summoned), "Naturia Antjaw" (can Special Summon Naturia monsters each time your opponent Special Summons), and "Naturia Pumpkin" (Special Summon another Naturia monster if your opponent has a monster). For defense purpose, they have cards like "Naturia Cliff", "Naturia Cherries", and "Naturia Beans", while "Naturia Sacred Tree" can improve the deck's consistency, and "Naturia Marron" can recycle monsters in place of "Pot of Avarice" (which is currently Forbidden).

Their Fusion Monsters, "Naturia Exterio" and "Naturia Gaiastralio" have powerful control effects, combined with their high ATK, can be easily Summoned with "Miracle Synchro Fusion" or "The Earth - Hex-Sealed Fusion" (for "Exterio"), can be very devastating to your opponent as well.

Since all Naturia monsters are EARTH, cards like "Giant Rat", "Gigantes", "Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders", and "Grandsoil the Elemental Lord" can be included as well.

Variants

Pure Naturia

This deck centered around utilizing Naturia monsters to respond to your opponent's moves, focusing mostly on control-based approach. "Naturia Mantis" and "Naturia Horneedle" can destroy your opponent's monster upon being Summoned, "Naturia Antjaw", "Naturia Cosmobeet", "Naturia Cherries", "Naturia Cliff" and "Naturia Pumpkin" provides swarming capabilities, "Naturia Butterfly" and "Naturia Stinkbug" can stop your opponent's attacks, "Naturia Marron" and "Naturia Eggplant" recycle your cards, and "Naturia Bamboo Shoot" and "Naturia Rosewhip" can restrict your opponent's Spells and Traps. Since Naturia monsters usually has low ATK, cards like "Naturia Fruitfly" and "Gaia Power" are sometimes used, to weaken your opponent's monster and strengthening your own, respectively. To increase consistency, cards like "Upstart Goblin", "Reckless Greed", "Pot of Duality", and especially, "Naturia Sacred Tree" can be included as well.

Naturia Plant

This build utilizes Naturia monsters along with Plant-Type supports such as "Lonefire Blossom" and "Dandylion", aiming to compose locks as soon as possible with "Naturia Bamboo Shoot" combined with the Plant Princesses such as "Tytannial, Princess of Camellias" and/or "Talaya, Princess of Cherry Blossoms". This Deck have easy swarming capabilities thanks to "Lonefire Blossom", "Chirubimé, Princess of Autumn Leaves", "Meliae of the Trees" and "Miracle Fertilizer", while also capable of using Plant-related supports like "Mark of the Rose", "Pollinosis", and "Queen of Thorns".

Naturia Traptrix

This variant combine Naturia monsters along with the suite of Traptrix cards. "Traptrix Myrmeleo" and "Traptrix Dionaea" are the ones commonly used to provide more control aspect to the deck in form of Trap Hole cards such as "Traptrix Trap Hole Nightmare" and "Time-Space Trap Hole", while also allowing access to plethora of Rank 4 Xyz Monsters. Naturia cards like "Naturia Cliff" and "Naturia Cherries" are commonly used to provide defensive capabilities while also provides Tribute fodder for "Naturia Bamboo Shoot". "Naturia Sacred Tree" is very integral in this deck, allowing you to get the right monster at the right time, improving this deck's consistency drastically.

Naturia Stun/Anti-Meta

Focused around Summoning "Naturia Bamboo Shoot" as soon as possible, combined with Anti-Meta cards such as "Thunder King Rai-Oh", "Doomcaliber Knight", and "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo". If combined with "Majesty's Fiend" and "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo" or "Cactus Bouncer", you can prevent your opponent from doing basically everything.

Naturia Reversal OTK

This deck focusing on interactions between "Naturia Mosquito" along with small-ATK Naturia cards such as "Naturia Beans", "Naturia Cherries" and "Naturia Cliff", to create OTK strategy in the same way as "Daigusto Sphreez" in Gusto decks. To get "Mosquito" easier, cards like "One for One" and "Inferno Reckless Summon" can be used to provide the necessary components for completing the OTK.

Weaknesses

Naturia decks, despite their capabilities of composing powerful and sturdy locks, but they're naturally slow, so faster decks usually have easy time of exterminating them before they gather the necessary components for their lock. "Skill Drain" can single-handedly destroy this deck completely, since Naturia monsters are so heavily-dependent on their monster effects, and most of them have low-ATK as well that cards like "King Tiger Wanghu" and "Deck Devastation Virus" can easily prey on them.

Naturia decks focusing on "Naturia Bamboo Shoot" also have even more challenges, since they need to protect Bamboo Shoot at all costs in order to keep their position in a Duel. "Effect Veiler" in particularly dangerous in this aspect, since it can negate Bamboo Shoot's effect permanently (since Bamboo Shoot will "forget" that it was Tribute Summoned with Naturia monster if its effect's negated). "Solemn Warning" also needs to be in consideration at all times, since it can destroy Bamboo Shoot when it is Summoned and possibly ruin your entire strategy. Also, it is vulnerable to monster effects and monsters that has higher than 2000 ATK, so cards like "Safe Zone" that can protect Bamboo Shoot from both threats are highly recommended.

"Dimensional Fissure", "Macro Cosmos", and "Banisher of the Radiance" can cripple this deck as well, since "Naturia Cliff", and "Naturia Cherries" cannot activate their effects if they're banished, while also rendering "Naturia Marron", "Naturia Eggplant" and "Naturia Mantis" useless. "Rivalry of Warlords" can also prevent this deck from swarming, since Naturia monsters have different Types.
