"Psychic" monsters are the first new [[Type]] of monster to be released in a while, and had their debut in "[[The Duelist Genesis]]". The Psychic types seen so far often resemble cyborgs or strange mutants, and often feature elements of cyberspace, circuit board patterns, green coloring ,and yellow electricity in their art. It is worth noting that many Psychic-Type monsters resemble what in the past were [[Machine | Machines]], [[Fiend | Fiends]], or [[Spellcaster | Spellcasters]] (such as [[Mutant Mindmaster]], [[Mind on Air]] and especially [[Jinzo]], whose [[OCG]] name actually has "Psycho" in it). The majority of their effects and support Spell Cards require you to pay [[Life Points]], while the Synchro Monsters and Trap Cards focus heavily upon restoring Life Points. The tendency of a Psychic-user's Life Points to change rapidly during a duel allow a cunning player to make the most of cards such as "[[Megamorph]]" and optional cards that require Life Point payment, like "[[Solemn Judgement]]". Psychics also support a heavy Synchro element with cards like [[Emergency Teleport]], "[[Magical Android]]", "[[Thought Ruler Archfiend]]" and "[[Overdrive Teleporter]]."

==Overview==
 +
Psychics often resemble cyberpunk androids, cybernetically-enhanced lifeforms, or strange mutants, and often featuring elements of cyberspace, circuit board patterns, green coloring, and yellow electricity in their arts. It is worth noting that many Psychic monsters resemble what in the past were [[Machine]], [[Fiend]], or [[Spellcaster]] monsters (such as "[[Mutant Mindmaster]]", "[[Cipher Soldier]]", "[[Mind on Air]]" and especially "[[Jinzo]]"). Most Psychic monsters, especially early on, are [[EARTH]] or [[WIND]], although there are Psychic monsters for all [[Attribute]]s, except [[DIVINE]].
  
−
Prominent Psychic monsters include "[[Mind Master]]", "[[Psychic Snail]]", "[[Psychic Commander]]", "[[Krebons]]", "[[Thought Ruler Archfiend]]", "[[Storm Caller]]", "[[Magical Android]]", "[[Psychic Lifetrancer]]", and the [[TCG]]-exclusive, "[[Overdrive Teleporter]]".
+
When the Type was first introduced, the majority of their effects and [[Spell Card]]s involved paying [[LP]] to activate various effects, while the [[Synchro Monster]]s and [[Trap Card]]s focused heavily upon restoring Life Points. ''[[Extreme Victory]]'' introduced Psychic monsters support cards that focus to manipulating [[banish]]ment, through banishing Psychic monsters to activate effects, Special Summoning banished Psychic monsters, and returning banished Psychic monsters to the hand or Graveyard. Many Psychic monsters, themes, and support released after that usually have one or both of those elements as part of their design, to different extent each.

In [[Crimson Crisis]] , Psychics got one of the only Level 9 [[Synchro Monsters]]- "[[Hyper Psychic Blaster]]". In addition to this, one of the three released Level 11 monsters is a Psychic-Type, "[[Hyper Psychic Blaster/Assault Mode]]"
+
Being a Type that debuted at the dawn of [[Synchro Summon]], Psychic monsters also support a heavy Synchro Summoning element with cards like "[[Emergency Teleport]]", "[[Mind Master]]" and "[[Overdrive Teleporter]]" enabling easier access to Synchro materials. They also contain many notable Synchro Monsters, with many early Synchro Monsters being Psychic, such as "[[Thought Ruler Archfiend]]" and "[[Magical Android]]".

'''Psychics''' are the newest type. They focus mainly on manipulation of [[Life Point]]s. They have a lot of great effects, including [[Stall]] ([[Mind Protector]], [[Grapple Blocker]]), increasing their own [[ATK]] ([[Power Injector]]) and creature swapping ([[Psychic Jumper]]), but all of it at the cost of valuable life points. A good advantage that [[Psychic]]s have is that they are mostly level 4 and have mostly around 1500 [[ATK]], which is somewhat high for the level. Also, some Psychic effects revolve around [[Removed from play]]. Psychics can come in a variety of forms; [[Synchro]], [[Lockdown]], Brute Force, [[Removed from play]] and even [[Swarm]], etc.

Because some of the [[Psychic]] support cards make you take [[Damage]], ([[Brain Research Lab]], [[Telekinetic Power Well]], [[Psychokinesis]], etc.) [[Prime Material Dragon]] and [[Rainbow Life]] are two highly recommended cards. It can turn [[Psychokinesis]] into a +1, get you at least 3000 [[Life Points]] from [[Brain Research Lab]], and other random effects that would do damage. Prime Material Dragon's anti-destruction effect will prove very useful too.

This format is somewhat easily obtained because [[Psychic]]s have some natural [[Tuner]]s as well as some support for them. There are also 4 [[Synchro]] [[Psychic]]. Albeit having some emphasis on Synchros and Tuners, it is somewhat hard to [[Synchro Summon]]. Fortunately, [[Psi-Station]] can somewhat patch this problem because it can alter the level of the [[Normal Summon]]ed Psychics. Cards that are very good for this format are [[Krebons]], [[Mind Master]], [[Psychic Commander]] and [[Psychic Jumper]] for more Tuners, [[Psychic Tuning]] and [[Telekinetic Power Well]] to revive as Tuners/Tuners and [[Psychic Overload]] to put back the dead Synchros to be re-used later.

There is a card in the booster pack [[Ancient Prophecy]], [[Armored Axon Kicker]], which can help enormously the [[Synchro]] style of [[Psychic]]s. It can easily revive two of the Tuners (Mind Master and Psychic Jumper) because they have low [[ATK]]. The other two (Krebons and Psychic Commander) can also be revived if [[Armored Axon Kicker]] gets an ATK boost. Their are some cards which can boost it like [[Power Injector]] to bring him to 2800 attack or [[Psychic Sword]] or just any attack booster. With [[Ancient Prophecy]], Psychic monsters gain a incredible boost with the card [[Brain Research Lab]], that card is a must in a Psychic Synchro Deck.

−
 
 
−
There are various Psychics wich effects resolve around the [[Removed from play]]. This format is less viable in competetive but can be more fun to play with. (I.E. [[Psychic Lifetrancer]], [[Genetic Woman]], [[Emergency Teleport]], [[Psychic Trigger]], [[Reinforced Human Psychic Borg]], [[Psychic Path]])
 
−
Other basic cards to put in this might be [[Return from the Different Dimension]] and [[Burial from a Different Dimension]] and even [[Soul Release]]. There can be some Synchro element in this format. All cards Removed from play can easily come back with the former or put back in the grave with the latter to then re-use them to reactivate the effect of the specific Psychics.

−
==Beat Down==
 
−
 
 
−
A double-edged because has the chance to completely overpower your opponents but it can be sometimes difficult to get to that or even get to something able to keep up with the game. Still, the Beat-Down Psychic Deck consists mainly of cards with high ATK, high level and effects which destroys the opponents cards. Monsters to include in this are those like [[Master Gig]], [[Destructotron]], [[Storm Caller]] and [[Psychic Snail]]. Other support like [[Teleport]] can help the summoning of the higher level monsters and cards like [[Power Injector]] can boost your own ATK even more.
 
−
 
 
−
Using Master Gig to destroy most of your opponents monsters, you then use Destructotron's effect to destroy the [[Spell]] or [[Trap]] cards your opponent controls. There is also an advantage with lowering your own [[Life Point]] with Master Gig/Destructotron's effect; equiping the card [[Psychic Sword]] on a Psychic while your Life Points are lower than your opponents will boost that monsters [[ATK]] for alot. Even the card [[Psychokinesis]] can help destroy monster while also lowering your Life Points. To restore all your Life Points after you have used the two cards effects, use the card [[Psychic Rejuvenation]] but use it only during your [[End Phase]] to not hinder the effect of Psychic Sword during the [[Battle Phase]]
 
−
 
 
−
Use of "[[Armored Axon Kicker]]" in this is somewhat not recommended because his third effect will have minimal use because most monster that will be in the grave will be cards that have high attack. Thus, you will be taking half of the destroyed monsters attack as effect dammage for nothing.

PSY-Framelord Omega
"PSY-Framelord Omega", a Psychic monster.

Psychic (Japanese: サイキック Saikikku) is a Type of Monster Card. It debuted in The Duelist Genesis in the OCG/TCG, and in Deck Mod Pack: Hyperspeed Rush Road!! in Rush Duel.

Overview[edit]

Psychics often resemble cyberpunk androids, cybernetically-enhanced lifeforms, or strange mutants, and often featuring elements of cyberspace, circuit board patterns, green coloring, and yellow electricity in their arts. It is worth noting that many Psychic monsters resemble what in the past were Machine, Fiend, or Spellcaster monsters (such as "Mutant Mindmaster", "Cipher Soldier", "Mind on Air" and especially "Jinzo"). Most Psychic monsters, especially early on, are EARTH or WIND, although there are Psychic monsters for all Attributes, except DIVINE.

When the Type was first introduced, the majority of their effects and Spell Cards involved paying LP to activate various effects, while the Synchro Monsters and Trap Cards focused heavily upon restoring Life Points. Extreme Victory introduced Psychic monsters support cards that focus to manipulating banishment, through banishing Psychic monsters to activate effects, Special Summoning banished Psychic monsters, and returning banished Psychic monsters to the hand or Graveyard. Many Psychic monsters, themes, and support released after that usually have one or both of those elements as part of their design, to different extent each.

Being a Type that debuted at the dawn of Synchro Summon, Psychic monsters also support a heavy Synchro Summoning element with cards like "Emergency Teleport", "Mind Master" and "Overdrive Teleporter" enabling easier access to Synchro materials. They also contain many notable Synchro Monsters, with many early Synchro Monsters being Psychic, such as "Thought Ruler Archfiend" and "Magical Android".

In Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel, Psychic monsters return to their early roots of utilizing Life Points, with the Psychic Musician and Shaman Bandit series both having play styles that rely on LP manipulation.
