Plants also have Plant version of staple cards like "Solemn Judgment" and "Mirror Force", in the forms of "Pollinosis" and "Wall of Thorns", respectively. Plants have non-Plant support versions of "Marauding Captain" in form of "Twilight Rose Knight", a version of "Witch of the Black Forest" in form of "Violet Witch". Other Plant cards are very similar to certain non-Plant cards, for example: "Dark Verger" and "Quillbolt Hedgehog". Other cards present similarities in the card images like "Wonder Clover" and "Break! Draw!".


Plant-Type monsters are used by Akiza Izinski in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. Her signature card, "Black Rose Dragon", is a staple in Plant-reliant Decks. Plant-Type monsters also appear in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, used by Tombo Tillbitty and Lotus Hanazoe. Tombo plays with a "Tomato" deck, while Lotus plays a Plant deck with a focus on Special Summoning Plants to Xyz Summon "Battlecruiser Dianthus," which is later Ranked Up to Summon "CXyz Battleship Cherry Blossom". In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, Yuri uses a "Predaplant" Deck focused on manipulating the stats of the opponent's monsters to weaken them, disrupting their strategies, or using them as Fusion Materials for their own bosses. In Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, Specter uses a "Sunvine"/"Sunavalon" Deck focused on manipulating the tide of the Duel.

Legacy of the Valiant introduced the "Sylvan" archetype, the first one composed solely of Plant-Type monsters. They are focus on the excavate mechanic, have a high variety of Levels and Attributes, being able to build a very flexible Deck, and their effects rely on taking advantage of when they are excavated and sent to the Graveyard; those effects range from searching a monster and recycling cards to destroying a monster and reorganizing the Deck in order to use their effects at their best.

The "Aroma" archetype is largely composed of Plant-Type monsters, and focuses on gaining advantage through having higher LP than the opponent.

Chaos Plants

The successor to the very popular Plant Synchro Deck, Chaos Plants takes advantage of the LIGHT and DARK attributes of splashable monsters, such as Tour Guide From the Underworld and "Effect Veiler", to Summon "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning", in combination with the Synchro abilities of Plants. It rarely uses enough Lights and Darks for it to be worth using "Chaos Sorcerer". Something to note is that it despite being called a "Plant" Deck, it often uses more Fiend monsters than Plants.
