'''Plant''' monsters were, until [[Phantom Darkness]], ({{Ruby|植|しょく}}{{Ruby|物|ぶつ}} ''Shokubutsu'') is a very unsupported [[Type]]. The general strategy for Plant-[[Type]] monsters is to swarm the field using cards like "[[Gigaplant]]", "[[Lonefire Blossom]]" and "[[Lord Poison]]", but also using cards that summon tokens. You can use "[[Return from the Different Dimension]]" along with "[[Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis]]", "[[Mark of the Rose]]", "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" and "[[Splendid Rosemonster]]" to re-summon many Plant monsters. They can go hand-in-hand with [[Insect]]-[[Type]]s as well with cards like "[[Arcane Archer of the Forest]]" and "[[Prickle Fairy]]". The most usual [[Attribute]] associated with Plants is [[EARTH]] or [[WATER]] but they may be of any [[Attribute]]. Recent support from [[Crossroads of Chaos]] also alters Plant-type strategies to include effects that summon tokens to the opponent's side of the field ([[Black Garden]]) and trigger on or cause the destruction of fellow plant-type monsters.

Some ==Overview==As the name suggests, the Type mostly comprises of the most notable plants and plantlike monsters. Many Plantmonsters have more down-Type monsters include "[[Mystic Tomato]]", "[[Homunculus the Alchemic Being]]", "[[Dandylion]]", "[[Botanical Lion]]", "[[Fairy King Truesdale]]"to-Earth design, "[[Lonefire Blossom]]"looking no different than plants in real life, "[[Tytannialwhile others are more fantastical, Princess or contain some degree of Camellias]]", "[[Gigaplant]]", "[[Nettles]]" "[[Lord Poison]]" and "[[Rigorous Reaver]]"non-plantlike traits such as appearing beastly or humanlike.

Plant monsters were previously very overlooked and weakThe usual [[Attribute]]s associated with Plants are [[EARTH]], until [[GigaplantWATER]] was introduced. Even then, plants weren't very strong and well-usedironically [[FIRE]]. However, Plant cards usually revolve around massive support to Plant-swarming and regenerating back onto the field. Unlike [[TypeZombie]]s began , Plants are often used to fuel effects such as negations or as Special Summon material rather than for strictly attacking purposes. They have many cards that allow them to be released in Special Summoned from the Deck, hand, or Graveyard. Cards like "Lonefire Blossom", "[[Crossroads of ChaosPlant Food Chain]] and have been continuing further on ", "Lord Poison", "Gigaplant", "[[Crimson CrisisThe World Tree]] " and in the "[[Raging BattleMiracle Fertilizer]] booster sets" all add major support to bringing back a swarm of Plant monsters to overwhelm the opponent with sheer amount of usable resources. These cards There are the ones being used by many good Plant [[Akiza IzinskiTuner monster]] herself in s, like "[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DCopy Plant]]" and "Spore". The Type'sinnate swarming capabilities have also give them noticeable edge in [[Link Summon]]ing, with the "[[Sunavalon]]" archetype being specialized around capitalizing on that potential.

The strongest Plants also have Plant-type monster is specific versions of classic [[Tytannial, Princess of Camelliasstaple]] cards like "[[Solemn Judgment]]" and "[[Mirror Force]] at 2800 ATK along with the power to negate any card effects that target simply by sacrificing a Plant-Type monster (which ", in worst case scenario can even be herself), not to mention the fact that she can be summoned as easily as tributing forms of "[[Lonefire BlossomPollinosis]] on first turn. In power " and strategy she is followed by "[[GigaplantWall of Thorns]] with 2400 ATK and the power to bring fallen plants back to life from the Graveyard", respectively. When combined with Gigaplant, she can easily stop any targeting force on the field, and in case Plants have non-Plant support versions of cards such as "[[Lightning VortexMarauding Captain]] or simply your own " in the form of "[[Black Twilight Rose DragonKnight]]'s effect", she can be brought back with and a Gigaplant or better yet by version of "[[Witch of the Black Forest]]" in the effect form of "[[Plant Food ChainViolet Witch]]".

Plants also have ==Themes=={| style="width:100%"| style="width:50%" |===''[[TCG]]''/''[[OCG]]''===* [[Inmato (archetype)|Inmato]]* [[Plant version of Staple cards like "Princess]]* [[Predaplant]]* [[Solemn JudgmentRikka]]" and "* [[Mirror ForceSunavalon]]", in the forms of "* [[PollinosisSunvine]]" and "* [[Wall of ThornsSylvan]]," respectively.

Plant cards usually revolve around swarming and regenerating back onto the field - unlike ; Mixed* [[ZombieAroma]]s, however, these 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 to the field from the deck and hand but mostly from the graveyard. Cards like "* [[Lonefire BlossomNaturia]]", "* [[Plant Food ChainRagnaraika]]", "[[Lord Poison]]", "[[Gigaplant]]", "[[The World Tree]]" and "[[Miracle Fertilizer]]" all add major support to bringing back a swarm of weeds to annoy your opponent and often overwhelm them. Plant Types have good [[Tuner Monsters]], like [[Copy Plant]] and [[Spore]]. Basiclly, It'll also have good [[Synchro]] monsters, like * [[Black Rose Dragon]] and [[Queen of Thorns]], with effect that can choose the level at will. But with low ATK and DEF, these tuners pretty much force you to synchro [[Summon]] on the same turn.(* [[Copy PlantTraptrix]] has zero ATK, zero DEF.)| style==Example=="vertical-align:top" |

==Play Style=====Plant BeatdownAnime/manga-only===This deck revolves around * [[Lonefire BlossomCorn]] and * [[GigaplantIvy]] to help flood the field. Make sure you use [[Gigaplant]]'s effect effectively in order to pull decent synchro monsters out while using [[Queen of Thorns]] to make your opponent pay life point to summon non-plant monsters. You could use [[Tytannial, Princess of Camellias]] and combo it with [[Gigaplant]] so you could tribute Plant monsters special summoned by [[Gigaplant]]'s effect to negate spell and trap effect. You can also keep the opponent at bay with powerful cards like [[Wall of Thorns]]. This deck also uses [[Pollinosis]] or [[Tytannial, Princess of Camellias]] to negate spells and traps that destroy multiple monsters such as [[Lightning Vortex]] or [[Mirror Force]] or [[Torrential Tribute]], however, this can be entirely foiled with cards like [[Zombie World]] and [[DNA Surgery]], so be sure to pack in [[Mystical Space Typhoon]] and an optional * [[TwisterTomato]]. This deck's ability to swarm the field quickly for fuel or for an all out attack can be foiled by cards like these.

===Token Eating Plant Deck===This is an updated version of the Asura Priest OTK, with all new cards that send tokens to your opponent;''s side of the field. There are plenty of plant token cards, like [[Cactus FighterYu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]], [[Wall of Ivy]], and [[Bamboo Scrap]], while using discard cards to feed [[Gigantic Cephalotus]]. This could also feed into the Priest OTK, by using [[Final Attack Orders]] to bring these tokens into attack position, while using [[Black Pendant]] to boost ATK and do damage when [[Asura Priest]] is returned to the hand. Using [[Cursed Fig]] to stop a couple of spell and trap cards could also help to feed the Cephalotus. Also, [[Rose Tentacles]] can replace [[Asura Priest]] for its mass attack and damage effects. A Rose Tentacles could equip a [[Thorn of Malice]] for piercing damage and an extra attack bonus, removing the need for ''* [[Final Attack OrdersYuri (manga)|Yuri]] as well as allowing the Rose Tentacles to attack multiple times again the next turn. This would however not activate the burn effect since the attacked cards would not be killed.

Another version of this involves ;''[[Chimeratech Fortress DragonYu-Gi-Oh! OCG Structures]] and ''* [[Cyber DragonAgeha Yusa]] to help flood the field and then use [[DNA Surgery]] to turn the entire field into machines. Use all monsters on the field to summon [[Chimeratech Fortress Dragon]] and mop up for the OTK win.

This deck can be very powerful when ==Icons==These are icons used against Upper-tier Decks (like Lightsworn and Gladiator Beasts), but still have many weaknessesto represent the Plant Type in various video games.

This deck does have dead draws so [[Swords of Revealing Light]] might be able to give you some time to get a better field. [[Lightning Vortex]] is useful because you can send a [[Dandylion]], destroy your opponents monsters and get two tokens or you can send [[Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis]], destroy your opponents monsters and special summon it during the end phase.====Recommended Cards====<!--This is not an exact decklist.

The deck would make maximum use of the draining effect if you use [[Forbidden Chalice]] with [[Royal Decree]]; however, you can use [[Royal Decree]] with [[Skill Drain]], it is just a little tricky.  ===Burning Plant Deck===This deck is similar to the Token Eating Plant Deck, only than this deck is based around [[Phoenixican Cluster Amaryllis]] and [[Seed Cannon]] to collect counters and inflict burn damage to the opponent. Famously used by Miguel Ramirez, the theme of this deck is to drop the [[Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis]] into the graveyard and Special Summon them during every end phase, in turn causing up to 2400 point of damage per turn. ====Recomended Cards====<!--This is not an exact decklist.
