Darkest Hour Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 [img]http://yugioh.tcgplayer.com/images/Cards/5460.jpg[/img] [s]i remember the days when cards were used solely for ATK, DEF, Level, Attribute and Type. Those were the days.[/s] And then we had Chaos Emperor Dragon and didn't give a s*** anymore. So now with the take-over of effect monsters, the creation of geminis, and the debut of Synchros, cards that can only attack and defend are now things of the past. Will there ever be any reason to run vanilla monsters with their flavor text (huhuhuh) anymore? Or are they history? Yellow framed cards that are only used as a joke card, lackospace card or n00b ladder card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnpsy Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 BEWD can still be a decent deck. Happy Herald would also like a word. Also, quite a few Normal Monsters have OTKs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force_Flex Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Well, I guess you could make a normal deck, with certain cards like that lycan thing and Shurinkos Oranclos or w/e. But it'd hardly be any good. And I guess Ojamas too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brinolovania Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Vanillas are generally fun to run. Therefore, they will see some use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Vanillas give Konami an excuse to print a level 4 one with 2200 ATK. Now [i]THAT[/i] would be awesome. Wait, no, terrible idea. As it would be called: "Blackwing - overpoweredvanilla" Just so you can search for anything with BWW >__> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Berserker- Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I use 3 to 5 vanillas in my deck. I could replace Seven Colored Fish with the Gemini fish but it sucks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azuh Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Well, pretty much the only Normal Monsters ever used in a Deck for themselves, which actually won tournaments was Gemini Elf, Summoned Skull and Mechanicalchaser back in 2003 >_> Also the ones Manjoume Thunder mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 The most success I've ever had running Vanillas was in some Dark Magician Knight deck. ;| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DroutTrigger Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Vanilla cards had there use long ago, but this time and age there useless now and there even becoming more useless the more new monsters with effects take there place. I am expecting Konami to banned them from use for how obsolete they are and then reprint them again but with effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkest Hour Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 [quote name='PikaPerson01' timestamp='1284424319' post='4625275'] Vanillas were dead long, long before Chaos Emperor Dragon came out. =\ [/quote] It was a reference to a past discussion in 2009 about the same thing (vanillas), about how people would evolve and choose CED over BEWD, because they had the same stats but Chaos Emperor Dragon was obviously better because of the effect. I think the reference was too old to use now that I think about it. I'm stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenofresh Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 With the introduction of Synchros, Vanillas actually have a bit more purpose if in solely Synchro Decks(Especially Walls) But otherwise, meh. Normal Buster Decks no longer can really be competitive. PErhaps if they went to make Synchro + Normal Fusions, they might make a comeback (I can already picture a Stardust + Dark Magician fusion coming from that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
