Abnormal Monsters


Since it's been confirmed that the promotion card for the upcoming Duelist Revolution will be the effectless Scrap Archfiend, I'd like to clarify something for everyone today:

Ritual, Fusion, and Synchro Monsters that lack the "Effect" designation alongside their Type are NOT treated as Normal Monsters.

With the last bit of Normal Monster support we've gotten somewhat recently, this has crossed my mind concerning some of the interactions.

Is it possible to assume that all non-effect monsters are treated as Normal Monsters, for the cases involving Swing of Memories, Non-Spellcasting Area, and the like?

Ex. Being able to use Swing of Memories to revive Gaia Knight, Force of the Earth.

No, it is not. Gaia Knight, Force of the Earth is a Synchro Monster, not a Normal Monster. Only actual Normal Monsters and cards with effects that treat them as Normal Monsters (like Gemini monsters do) are considered Normal Monsters.
 
It might seem obvious to some of you players, but a simple misplay can cost you the match.

Remember players, the game ends with you.

  1. Hmmm, there could be an intended purpose for Archfiend to be a normal Synchro. Either way i'm glad its level 7 and not a generic level 8 because we already have Scrap dragon for level 8 XD

  2. Oh wow, I never noticed that Scrap Dragon was generic. Thanks for the heads up.
