Normal Monster Deck A Normal Monster Deck , or Normalcy Deck , is a deck that takes advantage of the cards that benefit , and the benefits of , Normal Monster s . Especially concerning the released " Strike of Neos " " Gene - Warped Warwolf " and " Photon Shockwave " " Alexandrite Dragon " , as well as " Crossed Souls " " Phantom Gryphon " , " Clash of Rebellions " " Mystery Shell Dragon " and " Dinosmasher ' s Fury Structure Deck " " Megalosmasher X " , Normal Decks have never been as formidable as back when Effect Monsters were quite rare . Normal Monsters are an archetype all their own , with their support cards granting them extraordinary effects over real Effect Monsters . Most Normal decks are built as Beatdown Deck s , as most Effect Monsters cannot compete with the high attack power of these monsters . Your monsters have no abilities of their own , but there are plenty of Spell and Trap Cards , and a few Effect Monster Card s , that can make up for that . Not all monsters used in Normal Monster Beatdown Decks need to be Normal Monsters . " Knight of the Red Lotus " , " Rescue Rabbit " , and several other Effect Monsters may also be added . Low Level Normal decks rely on low - powered monsters and cards that allow them to continuously swarm the field , overwhelming the opponent with relatively weak yet deadly - supported monsters . This kind of deck can perform an OTK with " The Law of the Normal " and " Triangle Power " or " Thousand Energy " . Although these monsters lack attack strength , they can become even stronger than their beatdown counterparts with " Amulet of Ambition " , " Sword of the Soul - Eater " , and " Attack of the Cornered Rat " . Furthermore , they can still attack while being protected by " Gravity Bind " , etc . 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 , 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 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 . " Gem Merchant " is another great addition to a Normal EARTH monster Deck by sending this card from your hand to your Graveyard , you can increases your monsters ATK and DEF by 1000 during battle . This can surprise your foe after they had declared an attack to your monster . Normal Monsters also have good drawing power due to cards such as " Heart of the Underdog " , " Common Charity " , and " Coach Goblin " . In the right situation , Tyrant ' s Throes can leave an opponent completely locked , since he won ' t be able to summon any Effect - Monsters ( which most current decks use ) , only set or flip them . Another note is that Gemini monster s can be very useful in this style of deck since they are usually treated as Normal Monster cards , but still have effects at your disposal if needed . " Supervise " is extremely useful to quickly give them their effects . Adding Normal - Pendulum Monsters , preferably " Lancephorhynchus " and " Dragon Horn Hunter " , will let you summon a lot of Normal Monsters . Low Level Xyz / Synchro Normalcy . This Deck abuses low Level Normal Tuner monster s and Level 3 and lower Normal Monsters . With most Spell Card s and Trap Card s being able to Special Summon back the monsters from the Graveyard , the Deck could be Turbo Synchro swarm Deck . Besides the Tuner monsters in the Deck being the most important , the next most important card in this Deck would be " Enchanting Fitting Room " which quickly swarms the field and thins the Deck faster without penalizing yourself . The Extra Deck contains Level 5 to 6 Synchro Monster s and Rank 3 Xyz Monster s .
