lutin grognon I like to pretend to be skeletor while I play it. ARE YOU READY TO GET SPOOKED, HE-MAN? I'M GOING TO SEND YOU TO THE _BONE ZONE_ NYAAAAH!
I miss Tri-Horned Dragon! I got him as a secret rare when I was 13 and I loved him more than the blue eyes and dark magician. I always thought he was the best... sadly my little cousin borrowed him and lost him... I still haven't spoken to him.
RemoveBeforeFlightGaming: TheGod11 my best friend was the same way... accept some kid bent it in half, and he held onto it, but kept it in a hard case so it wouldn't get more wrecked
I hated that it got outclassed by a shitty rabbit dragon. Maybe you can run it in normal chaos dragon casually. They should give non-Effect Dark Dragon Monster support.
Gene-Warped Warwolf: This card has 2000ATK and does nothing else. Dude, I grew up in the day where MechanicalChaser was the most sought after 4 star normal monster because it had an 1850ATK and everyone was running 1800Atk monsters at the time or Jurai Gumo (and Gumo was used mostly as a wall rather than attacking).
A few years ago when I still played, I made a joke deck that only used cards that were released before Magic Ruler. Mechanicalchasers were in it. Maybe I'm wrong about their release date, but it was pretty funny to see people all confused about why I was using em.
Ahh Skull Servant, holds a special place in my heart, not because of any meta deck he is in but because in those GBA Yugioh games where you had to offer an ante card, Skull Servant was always first on the list so I always offered him because it was fastest lol
I am honestly surprised you didn't cheese out and make Garnet the top spot on the list. Good job! *golf clap* How about Top 5 Gemini Monsters? I would say top ten, but there aren't enough halfway decent Gemini Monsters.
Mystical Shine Ball? I didn't see that coming. :) Personally, my favorite normal monster is Cosmo Queen. I know she's slightly weaker than Blue Eyes, but I like the look of her and I even have her in my Dark Magician/spellcaster deck.
I remember when i first started (The Neo-daedelus structure deck days) I literally thought that Terrorking Salmon was the best normal monster because it was just a free 2600 beatstick with Legendary Ocean out.....oh man that was the simple days....
As someone not super familiar with hypercompetitive- would be nice to hear more about why monsters with lower stats are ranked higher than lower ranked ones with much better stats.
i also remember people using nin-ken dog in fire fist for a while so you could get access to lightning chidori, which was pretty cool. and with labradorite dragon, people occasionally used mathematician before it was limited to send carboneddon to grave, which could then banish from grave to summon labradorite from the deck, which was also fun to combo with something like malicious or level eater for a variety of plays. (also saw it paired with jewels of the valiant, which let you send a monster from deck to grave when a monster in grave was banished, so long as it was a different attribute. so banishing carboneddon let you dump level eater, malicious, and a bunch of other cards you could use to combo with it, which is cool as hell)
It is so funny and interesting to watch this videos. I quit playing years ago. I never played competitively, just a lot with friends and some guys in the neighbourhood. Back then the best normal monsters (as far as i knew it back then) were Gemini-Elf, Vorse Raider and Luster Dragon. I was actually pretty proud to have Gemini-Elf, Luster Dragon and also a Spear-Dragon in my deck It also wasn't uncommon for us to use some Blue-Eyes in our decks. Since i owned the water-structure-deck my best card was the Ocean Dragon Lord. One kid had a Chaos Emperor Dragon, but we refused to play with him until he promised not to use it.
burning newt In my less than pro opinion, you're right. That being said, from what I've been able to gather they aren't as consistently good as BEWD and Gems
TheSebto360 One thing that is worth considering is that, while the Red-Eyes support may be a bit less efficient than Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes also has the ability to pair with various types of cards. You can pair it with archfiend since lots of the fusion cards require them, you can pair it with zombies if you're running Red-Eyes Zombie. Also, going back to the Red-Eyes support, you can't deny that the Black Stone of Legend is better than the White Stone of Legend.
Red Stone may be better than White Stone of Legend, but White Stone of Ancient is better than Red Stone. And whilst Red Eyes has paired with other decks, I don't think it had impacted the meta as much as Blue Eyes did in the Blue Eyes format
Vorse Raider isn't on the list? UNSUBSCRIBE!! Nah but I'm all honesty this video was very well done and the idea behind it was really good. Ranking all these normal monsters based on their competitive relevance is something I don't think a lot of people have done.
also luster dragon..1900 atk and a more decent defense than sabersaurus.. gemini elf, insect knight and yeah vorse raider.. also thinkin of warrior of zera,1600 both atk & def..XD
maybe the vid included only the top normal w/ support or can be comboed.. coz there're many high stat normals..most of 2000atk lv4 are low in defense btw
Just admit it, you're still not over the whole "ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defense"- thing and that's why Dark Magician is not on here. Well, Dark Witch is a LIGHT attribute and Labradorite Dragon is compared to "moonlight rippling across water". Look at that thing.
because Blue Eyes got an entire archtype based around him that is still really good and relevant unlike most legacy cards, also I think Blue Eyes is still the strongest vanilla in the game like no other vanilla has higher than 3k attack.
Mst3kfanatic1 Dark Magician and Red Eyes got support as well and their archtypes aren't any weaker than Blue Eyes. I don't get why mention Blue Eyes but not the others
Blue eyes got also included in múltiple decks beside the Blue eyes one(mainly Dragon type decks Like the F.H.D or the Heriatic hell ive saw player use it in dragunity once and even i was confused) just for the sake to use trade in or dragons mirror
Im playing yugioh duel links right now just dueling some npc characters and while you were talking about mystic shine ball i noticed that the npc duelist i was auto-dueling did some combo that summoned a bunch of them in def mode. I've never seen this card before watching your video and i just now saw it for the first time in this game while you were still talking about it in the vid. :D
Bro, where the hell is Gemini Elf? It dominated the Meta for over 1 year and was the most expensive Card for a long time. Probably you didn't play back then? Also Flamvell Guard was and sometimes is still a staple in alot of Exodia Decks.
I remember reading in the rules that generally Normal Monsters have higher attack and defense than Effect Monsters to "balance" them out, but I can't think of a Normal Monster that has higher than 3000 attack off the top of my head. I feel like they tossed that concept out a long time ago (aside from level 4 1900 attackers) which I think is a shame because it'd make Normal Monsters slightly less useless, not by much cause of no card advantage gain without battling, but STILL. Also, still waiting on that game 3 dzeeff
Holactie is just a strictly worse exodia - harder to summon, harder to perform consistently and not worth the effort for something you could do far easier.. Unless there's some hyper consistent 100% Holactie FTK deck. Victory dragon has an awkward summon condition and must be the card attacking to win the match. You can still scoop if it would attack for game - Making it kind of like a free win should the stars align, but it's so much easier to stop than exodia or even holactie because it can be removed while on the field due to it's lack of protection. TL:DR: Both are trash and I'm not sure why they even considered them.
dzeeff with the eye of t and allthat support alongnwith dm circle and eternal soul and magician nav. I have won tournaments. Only problems i have had were against trickstars, goukis and timelords, but i just turned dm deck into a banishing deck / burner deck with datk eradicator warlock and spellbook spell cards in the deck.
Even though it wasn't really ever relevant in the meta, Dragon Core Hexer is one of my favorite Blue-Eyes tech card choices for Tzolken and Bishbaalkin shenanigans
Actually yes, Metal Armored bug for the old demise OTK deck. Advanced ritual art for demise either sending bug to revive via reborn then megamorph for game, or send 2 insect knights and doom dozer for same effect.
Was possibly hoping for Scrap Archfiend to make the list, considering that it was staple in Infernoids when they were relevant. Would've been cool to see a vanilla Synchro on here haha
In legend of the duelists, My deck for skull servants allowed for fusion monster, like flame ghost and zombie warrior. It was more for defending, but it did help power up the king of skull servants. And wasteland was pointless too but it sped duels up
#1 has to be Harpie's Brother/ Sky Scout. That card's treated me well as there simply arent as many good winged beast wind normal monsters. Most good low level normal monsters are dark or warrior etc, but not a winged beast. For example, plain vanilla harpie lady sits at a measly 1350 or so attack, so it's not very good to use cards that combo with winged beasts if your only good winged beasts are a few harpie effect cards and no others that are as strong. I rate it more on lack of decent normal cards of the same attribute and type, meaning it is one of the, if not outright the best normal card for a harpie deck. And as a bonus, the name before "Sky Scout" used to be "Harpie's Brother", so if you own an old copy it just feels aesthetically nice (even if it doesnt count as a harpie :p)
Sabersaurus should be #1, Dino Rabbits tier 0 in TCG. TG Agents was only good in OCG, but its preference. Hyperion + Venus + Agent is GG, loved the deck.
Blue eyes white dragon is the most iconic card and to this day is the strongest normal monster out there and is only 6th place I honesty don't think you know how to rate cards I've been a fan of blue eyes since the beginning when he first appeared in the anime and the release of the og yugi and kiaba decks and always found ways to use blue eyes and now there is so much support for him
How come that people always say „I don‘t know how to pronounce this.“, even when it‘s a really simple word? Labra-dorite Split the word into multiple pieces when you aren‘t sure about it.
Just subscribed to your channel. You have very thoughtful content!! I am just getting back into YuGiOh after years of being out, and it's so interesting to see how the game has changed. Thank you so much for showing us that. Cheers!
tbh, I think that Toulmarine is underrated a bit. Toulmarine is a better type than Garnet. Toulmarine is a better alt for decks like Thunders, and specifically Batteryman (Since it's a deck of Lights with Thunders).
How many attack/defense points does a completely normal monster need to be competitive? Tribute 0, Tribute 1 and Tribute 2? With "completely normal" I mean not part of an archetype, not above average for summoning and extra deck monster (that also means it is not a tuner). It has attack or defense points and nothing else.
Luster dragon #2 Gia the feirce knight Ojama yellow black and green Black luster soldier (my personal fav) Labyrinth wall Auitsu and soitsu Sanwitch Hungry burger Crab turtle Des frog 3 or enraged muka muka (can't remember which) Gia the sky dragon champion
Taking off dark magician was a mistake. It's got a lot of support. There are entire decks built around it. It's also got good stats. It's still extremely good to this day. It's not just iconic.
I had a BEWD deck before it was cool. Along with tri horn. Had a recycle type of deck no matter what i had the means of pulling out a bewd any time and anywhere. Having a level 8 monster in turn one was a big thing. This was back before gaint tunade and future fusion got band.
Dude u missed jerry beans man.

Still hard to believe that Skull Servant actually became a good card, I still remember it as the weakest monster in the game when it came out.

No love for Summoned Skull? 1 sacrifice for a 2500 beater? Was pretty good when it first came out.
and 1200 Def, Witch of the Black Forest into Summoned Skull was the play back in the day
And now we have Trance the Magic Swordsman!
Came out
This is about more relevent cards
ShadowSaberBaroxio You watcher the beginning of the video right? He said he wasn’t going over beaters. AND he said cards past 2008
ShadowSaberBaroxio and is still in the vanilla deck i use

How about Top 5 Gemini Monsters? I would say top ten, but there aren't enough halfway decent Gemini Monsters.
DarkJusticeMetal
yes.
Definitely need a Gemini one
M&K Il Blud, E-Hero Neos Alius and Gigaplant are all good contenders.
If the legacy rule wasn’t there then Blue Eyes White Dragon would be number one cause he’s the strongest normal monster
What is garnet? Havent played in a while
Same question here, what makes Gem Knight Garnet so special?
Mystical Shine Ball? I didn't see that coming. :)
Personally, my favorite normal monster is Cosmo Queen. I know she's slightly weaker than Blue Eyes, but I like the look of her and I even have her in my Dark Magician/spellcaster deck.

Victory dragon has an awkward summon condition and must be the card attacking to win the match. You can still scoop if it would attack for game - Making it kind of like a free win should the stars align, but it's so much easier to stop than exodia or even holactie because it can be removed while on the field due to it's lack of protection.

+Mitz If we're truly ignoring summoning conditions, Holactie is obviously the best, as she just wins you the duel.
Red-Eyes Black dragon will always be number one in my heart...
Dark magician decks arent actually too bad, they can hold their own against lower tier meta decks like ba, etc
Three-Legged zombie, got my invite playing that card in BA zombies back in 2014.
I wanted to play more Uni-zombies, so I took the closest thing. Its only use was making blackrose when you opened it and uni-zombie.
He confused it for Uni-Zombie.
Come on, no Phantasm spiral Dragon? there's an entire archetype for it, and it's actually a really good deck
but it's a good tier 3 deck . . .
That's because the deck is kind of a dickhole -.-
I still remember playing Millennium shield
Dark magician is still a really good archetype. I dont see why it wouldnt be on here.
It's had almost zero competitive success, so it didn't make the cut
dzeeff with the eye of t and allthat support alongnwith dm circle and eternal soul and magician nav. I have won tournaments. Only problems i have had were against trickstars, goukis and timelords, but i just turned dm deck into a banishing deck / burner deck with datk eradicator warlock and spellbook spell cards in the deck.
Winning local tournaments doesn't make a deck good :/
dzeeff gotta win locals to go up.
Agents are my all time favorite deck. Nice to see Shine Ball get the number one slot.
Even though it wasn't really ever relevant in the meta, Dragon Core Hexer is one of my favorite Blue-Eyes tech card choices for Tzolken and Bishbaalkin shenanigans
I'm on the quest for the best normal monster text. I'll be looking all day today, tomorrow, and the day after that!
Commodore064 Joey's World has the best flavor text imo
The noble knights
Equipment Cat's: Archfiend Marmot of Nefariousness! My boy needs recognition!
I was really hoping phantasm spiral dragon would make the list. I love that archetype.
I knew mystic shine ball was 1st place. Makes sense, lots of plays in the decks that it's played
Would have helped to show the relevant effect monsters by the cards considering none of these cards are played for their own effect.
I would have included the level 6 vanilla you would use for perfection and the arms and legs of exodia.

Now do the top 10 Gemini Monsters :>
blue eyes is not the only classic card on this list. Dark Witch came out in Metal Raiders, which is Classic AF.
Wrong! Nin-Ken Dog was in fire fists for the Lightning Chidori plays.
My top forgotten cards: Pandemic Dragon, Follow Wing, Dragon's Bind, Thunder End Dragon, and First of the Dragons.
normal not non-effect monsters

I forgot to mention that I was only looking for Normal Monsters, not non-effect monsters. So no Scrap Archfiend. Gem-Knight Pearl, etc.
Gene-Warped Warwolf is one of my favorite cards.
In legend of the duelists, My deck for skull servants allowed for fusion monster, like flame ghost and zombie warrior. It was more for defending, but it did help power up the king of skull servants. And wasteland was pointless too but it sped duels up

Where is summoned skull
My Name Duwang Summoned Skull still looks the most bad ass too.
true
but dank magic ian has a decc
lilkhalim wow
Gem knight Sardonyx is a good budget replacement for Garnet, has the same type and attribute and only 100 less attack
I'm surprised there was no summoned skull, or frostasaurus.
While a classic card, dark Magician deserves a spot on the list. it got a ton of support. Spellcaster is one of the better types with all the support.
#1 has to be Harpie's Brother/ Sky Scout. That card's treated me well as there simply arent as many good winged beast wind normal monsters. Most good low level normal monsters are dark or warrior etc, but not a winged beast. For example, plain vanilla harpie lady sits at a measly 1350 or so attack, so it's not very good to use cards that combo with winged beasts if your only good winged beasts are a few harpie effect cards and no others that are as strong.
I rate it more on lack of decent normal cards of the same attribute and type, meaning it is one of the, if not outright the best normal card for a harpie deck. And as a bonus, the name before "Sky Scout" used to be "Harpie's Brother", so if you own an old copy it just feels aesthetically nice (even if it doesnt count as a harpie :p)
Where is my Dark Blade
Sabersaurus should be #1, Dino Rabbits tier 0 in TCG. TG Agents was only good in OCG, but its preference. Hyperion + Venus + Agent is GG, loved the deck.
1st isn't Blue-Eyes White Dragon. I declare this invalid.
Fast forward to 2020 and dark magician + red eyes = red eyes dragoon
Hey, thanks for close-up showing me what Sabersaurus's feet look like, I'm quitting this game now.

Just subscribed to your channel. You have very thoughtful content!! I am just getting back into YuGiOh after years of being out, and it's so interesting to see how the game has changed. Thank you so much for showing us that. Cheers!
Wait, he put Sabersaurus in this list but not Megalosmasher X?
The only card that should have been on this list is Rabidragon.
Am angry }:^C
tbh, I think that Toulmarine is underrated a bit. Toulmarine is a better type than Garnet. Toulmarine is a better alt for decks like Thunders, and specifically Batteryman (Since it's a deck of Lights with Thunders).
Wow great video! I don't know what a tuner is (2001-2004 YuGiOh player) or what most of the combos you mentioned are but still enjoyed the video.
Gemini elf better be here ..the first 1900 4 star normal ever and spellcaster typing gives it utility
How many attack/defense points does a completely normal monster need to be competitive? Tribute 0, Tribute 1 and Tribute 2?
With "completely normal" I mean not part of an archetype, not above average for summoning and extra deck monster (that also means it is not a tuner). It has attack or defense points and nothing else.
Blue-Eyes
Red-Eyes
Dark Magician
I’m a bit surprised that Cyber-Tech Alligator didn’t made it into the list. It’s a level 5 card with 2500 attack and 1600 defense.
+elFacho This list was about Normal Monsters that made a competitive impact
dzeeff Oh, okay.
Summoned Skull was objectively better
Mst3kfanatic1 Well yeah. I remember the times where a Summoned Skull deck was a thing.
Since you're discounting nostalgia, why is Sabersaurus on the list and not Megalosmasher X?
+James Zetterman Sabersaurus was relevant in competitive Yugioh for over a year in multiple formats
dzeeff But doesn't Megalosmasher X have a combo with rescue rabbit to make an instant bohumut shark and then Toadally Awesome
herionfather Megalo didn't always exist.
red eyes can be somewhat useful
How could you have possibly missed Mushroom Man?
Luster dragon #2
Gia the feirce knight
Ojama yellow black and green
Black luster soldier (my personal fav)
Labyrinth wall
Auitsu and soitsu
Sanwitch
Hungry burger
Crab turtle
Des frog 3 or enraged muka muka (can't remember which)
Gia the sky dragon champion
Taking off dark magician was a mistake. It's got a lot of support. There are entire decks built around it. It's also got good stats. It's still extremely good to this day. It's not just iconic.
Dark Magician sadly has not seen very much play even with all of its support :(
@@Dzeeff because people don't know what they got😭
I thought archfiend soldier was a good normal monster
mrnaughtycat one of my favorites
Where is my Phantasm Spiral Dragon? A normal monster that's so good it has AN ENTIRE ARCHETYPE based around it!
I'm sad my boys the Mokeys didn't make the list, but glad to see MSB getting props
I had a BEWD deck before it was cool. Along with tri horn. Had a recycle type of deck no matter what i had the means of pulling out a bewd any time and anywhere. Having a level 8 monster in turn one was a big thing. This was back before gaint tunade and future fusion got band.
Frog the Jammmm....I mean Slime Toad!
Runningon Cylinders wow those cards are TOADally awsome
Got that joke of of an actual card
