NEW & COOL NORMAL MONSTER SUPPORT ARCHETYPE! Yu-Gi-Oh!

[@chri6438]

Hands down one of the best artwork I've seen in recent years from konami 's artists

[@Napdoze]

Really awesome to see Normal Monster support. Magikey comes to mind with all the attributes in grave but could just be run as a stun deck as well.

[@treetrunkstv]

please dont wish that on anyone

Others not mentioned yet suship doll house, metalfoes, igknights. More that have an archetype vanilla but might not Atlantean, penguin, exodia, red eyes,blues eyes, dark magician.

[@residentgrey]

Qli too! Plus there are some cards I use generically like the Gaia link 3 and some others that could possibly apply.

[@nytecrow6452]

My Magikey Deck is gonna go hard with this. Setting up the Spell/Traps alone give extra utility to add to the Magikey Negate/Pops.

[@Magikey]

Yep. My board is at like 7 interruptions now

[@valvesofvalvino]

First of the Dragons deck?

[@kaimobley5324]

I saw the thumbnail and immediately thought of Alexandrite Dragon

[@RedTheWeeb]

This is INSANE red-eyes support man. Soul actually becomes a GOOD turn 0 handtrap now by either turning off dragon,fiend, or dark decks very harshly or just getting a simple monster board negate. Also since the cards are based around the name of a normal as well RED-EYES FUSION ACTUALLY GOOD FOR ONCE? SOUL IN GY CAN BE REVIVED TO BURN DRAW PHASE NEXT TURN? its so COOOL.

[@DrillSgtMason]

As a die hard red eyes fan, I cant wait to test this support. Might give a try on ygopro. Red eyes flare is gonna eat as well because he counts as normal in grave and on field. Im thinking of maining dark blade because he is a warrior type that help in getting red eyes slash dragon AND hes a normal type so he will synergize perfectly with this.

[@RedTheWeeb]

@@DrillSgtMason yeah the gemini stuff finally gets some redemption since they'll be normal on field or GY

[@RedTheWeeb]

@@DrillSgtMason as far as normal fusion materials I'd say aim for a light or fire warrior to cover more attributes. I plan to try comet dragon using REBD+Typhone#2 then burning by sending archfiend. That way the board clear effect will be dark+fire+dragons+archfiends. (Although if the meta finally shifts away from fires I think I'd try watttail as the level 6 instead to cover light and dark )

[@DrillSgtMason]

@@RedTheWeeb Thats good advice. Gonna give that a shot.

[@derekwst3-YGO]

The summoning normal monster can also be used for those decks who boss monster is the normal monster. Dark magician and blue eyes are the two I think of quick. But harpy, ojama, and others may create fun ways to start combos.

[@jaernihiltheus7817]

Looks like that ice dragon in the artwork will be added in the following set. It's a strong first start. I would like an on-theme normal monster in the next wave, just to make it feel like a complete deck as opposed to something you stick into another normal monster-based deck. Also interesting thought - hieratics use a normal monster or two and their rank 6 summons another dragon from deck.

[@10tailedbijuu]

though their rank 6 gets splashed in every other dragon deck.

[@Neon-yj9xw]

Most of the other rank 6s suck, seeing Atum everywhere is not surprising

[@jaernihiltheus7817]

@Sugatara_ doesn't look like alexandrite (alexandrite is more smooth bodied), though maybe it's a retrain/upgraded version.

[@dnzero6188]

The effect boss monster could go hard with Lair of Darkness!!! The token at the end phase can be used for tribute summon and banish all opponents’ monsters by choosing attribute.

[@augustbred]

Tokens aren't normal monsters unfortunately.

[@dnzero6188]

@@augustbred yes, they are. Tokens are always considered as normal monsters and non-effect monsters. Even in the wiki stated about the fact.

[@Pluemfight]

Interesting to see which Normal monster going to be play

[@duskframe7331]

i can see a ton of decks working with this, anime stuff like dark magician, blue-eyes, harpies, for me the one with the most interesting potential is magikey

[@jcw034]

Harpie Lady vanilla came to mind for these

[@arekkusubasu4483]

This could make Red eyes somewhat playable.

[@user-jc2ez6ig5z]

Normal monsters are my favorite cards. Ty Konami.

[@deaththesoul8]

I like that this archetype is made to be a control interactive one, instead of pure stun. Quite a nice spin for normal monsters. I like it. For engines (because I doubt it's playable on it's own yet) Magikey came first to my mind because they can change the attribute of all monsters on the field via a counter trap they have, the issue I see with them is that they are kinda cluncky because of the bricks it has (Ritual, Mafteal, counter)/I don't think Pacifis really mesh with these, unless you ignore the lvl6 guy, because you're locked into either using paficis or you summon effect monsters./Adventure engine is quite boring, but I see it being a decent one, specially because it discards so you can send the trap to the gy for a free disruption./Tenyi kinda works and at the same time they doesn't, it's kinda weird. Something that I noticed while thinking about other engines, this archetype heavy relies on the continous spell to get the engine started, but the deck has no way to get to this card, so maybe we would get that next set? which is quite a bummer.

[@KiiroSagi]

Tenyi already has normal monster support but I assume non-effect link monsters do not count as normal monsters. The other thing is we had that random normal monster that got retrained but is searchable in the millenium deck although I don't think it's level 4 or lower. One generic combo I've thought of for this archetype is to use 2 Normal cards and something like "future fusion", to send them to the gy and expand ur normal card diversity(negate options) and also summon "First of Dragons" which cannot be destroyedd by battle except by normal monsters and is unaffected by other monster effects (2700/2000 lvl9 Dark Dragon). Another one is assuming if for whatever reason there are some big normal monsters, this archetype can have a beatstick strategy, even ignoring all the big brain quick effect shenanigans. I really like this engine because it's rogue support. We were 1 bad day with "normal monster" being replaced with fire monster lol.

[@residentgrey]

non-effect is normal though.

[@KiiroSagi]

@@residentgrey Non-effect includes normal but I don't know that normal includes non-effect. For example there are non-effect fusion monsters but I don't think they count as normal. Normal refers more to the border color of a card than whether it has an effect, is another way of putting it. A negated effect monster is still not a normal monster and a gemini monster is not treated as a normal monster except when it is on the field where it's effect treats it as a normal monster.

[@residentgrey]

@@KiiroSagi They should be the same. The typing is also based on a time where we didn't even have Normal-specific support. We gained cards like Unexpected Dai way later. This could be design space that should have been fully explored. They apply to specific cards within all summoning mechanics, essentially no different than a normal that was tributed. Imagine seeing support for the original fusions and the rest, or making cards like Gem-Knight Pearl even better. I don't see it breaking the game which is why I am any way for it.

[@rime3589]

​@@residentgreyNormal Monsters explicitly refer to the Main Deck Monsters with yellow background. Non-Effect Monsters also include Ritual/Fusion/Xyz/Synchro/Link Monsters without effects. Normal Monsters are Non-Effect Monsters, but not all Non-Effect Monsters are Normal.

[@ioiouau]

magikey potential maybe??????

[@eagleangel5568]

Yeah I was gonna say Cause the quick play doesn't do the special summon negate lock so maybe

[@fernandakevin7750]

Magikey with fiendsmith

[@gamerbg294]

I would also find interesting to use a small metalfoes engine, because the fusion spell is very good and can be set from the deck

[@garrettsmith4034]

Hesrt of the blue eyes needs to become a seperate boss route that lets you fuse millennium shield with BE of the Heart for 90/2000s fabled Millenium Dragon fusion.

[@robertbauerle5592]

This archetype seems really cool! Actually seems like Konami is finally trying to make a sort of control archetype, also this deck might have good synergy with pacifism and those cards for an interesting control deck, assuming it gets some more support. It mostly just needs a better way to break boards and also play the game before the combo deck gets to set up on your opponent’s turn 1 (I think this is mandatory for fair control decks in the current meta). Seems like right now you just have one spot removal spell and the potential ability to just beat over a guy with a blue-eyes or somethin. I don’t think the banish off of the primordial monster is going to be reliable enough. I mean you probly play a dark normal monster since dark is the most common attribute, but I’m not sure how many more than that you’d want to play. I also think they should put the SS restriction on other future extenders to prevent it from just being an e-tele for degenerate combo decks, or really anything else that can abuse a free body of any type/attribute.

[@jaernihiltheus7817]

It's definitely getting at least 1 more effect monster in the next core set - most of the spell cards show an ice dragon monster that doesn't exist yet.

[@darthkiergon9608]

Looks like it could be cool to run a small primoredial package (like 1-2 of the monster, 1 normal monster, and 3 of the continuous spell) in Lab for extra interaction!

[@AUGUSTUSWILLIAM-d9q]

Miraculously enough, it can work with Tenpai dragon as a going 1st strategy...(Not gonna spill the guu yet😎). Jst been something I've been working on for Tenpai...n this becomes a complete engine to go into that strategy...Amma have fun with this one!

[@Millionz]

I'm thinking this might go crazy with Igknight or Metalfoes

[@residentgrey]

We need this set in DL for those definitely! While I like my L4 Igknights deck as it is, the deck needs such support to shore up critical weaknesses.

[@MichaelJr1994]

I'm already thinking Magikey with this.

[@Matatoskr]

Finally, i can take magikey to rogue xD

[@ramoncollins7778]

Gemini monsters finally got something going 😝

[@darklight9450]

Gemini monsters are treated as effect monsters in the deck. So after this support they are still sleeping. So the only thing this help this has for Gemini monsters is a monster reborn. So sadly Gemini monsters are still unplayable. Until they get direct support for them.

[@samuelcastillo5246]

*DOESN'T WORK*

[@gergero7427]

So if I mix this with tenyi would it work

[@macroscopics]

Technically, a Psy-frame package plus the Dragon = 2 interruptions that can Dark Ruler a field, OR obliterate a field of LIGHT monsters.

[@pkkiller_apathy4568]

Finally Dragon core hexer support 🙌 lol This makes gokipole scary for a free pop that can end in a negating the board by the way

[@residentgrey]

There is a card in the one cyberse set that can target Hexer too. It was designed to summon Suppression Collider, which is a normal beatstick like Hexer.

[@pkkiller_apathy4568]

@residentgrey you know the name this support has got me thinking on using my old layer of darkness cards I have laying around. I was using Successor soul to tribute their monster and send a second to the grave plus summon Hex core.

@@pkkiller_apathy4568 Genex Controller is another dark target. I like where you are going here.

[@pkkiller_apathy4568]

@@residentgrey yep getting a dragon or fiend normal in grave is super important as well as covering light and dark types witch can be done with the fiendsmith engine as a target to go into and hit it. With the benefits of hitting yubel and labyrnth as well. The problem is having enough backrow hate and protecting layer.

[@khyros_cen1508]

could maybe put in some work with Monarchs with a few normal monsters tossed in

[@AzalBC]

I was brainstorming kashtira. Unicorn grabs kashtira Birth, and birth allows you to normal summon level 7. Then use various types like dark magician for spellcaster/dark in gy, ryu-ran for dragon/fire, etc then something like level 3 tuners like tune warrior for warrior/earth then make synchro 10s and xyz 7

​@@samuelcastillo5246They are beneficial in the GY too. Read the backrow cards again. Some need to be there for all effects to proceed.

[@residentgrey]

Negating an XYZ or synchro or some other until end phase can still be ok too. I have been primarily running a normal tuner, Angel Trumpeter, in a few decks and multiple ways to draw out the ED through them, like Genex Controller+Dragong to get Superheavy Samurai Stealth Ninja on the board. The Dragong is great tribute fodder that you can reuse and have the Earth/Machine targets for effects if it is in GY. This set is special recursion.

Reads like control.

[@Yogy19]

I have a BIG ruling question here. So if you use the continuous spell to special summon a gemini monster from hand or GY, can you still normal summon that monster? And if you can, can you use its effect? Because the spell says you can't activate special summoned monster's effects, but if you normal summon it after specialing it, does that still apply?
