Why do people hate Vanillas?

No, seriously, why not one of you try to duel each other in a Vanilla-only duel and see if its fun.

Tell me about it. Then you'll learn to love'em.

Alright new question. If so many people like Normals and support them, why aren't there more of them? I'm not saying every card in a set has to be one, but a few just so the set his versitile. I mean even level 3 Normals can be useful. Why tribute an effect monster if you can tribute a lower level card without an effect? Normals have a place within sets, I want to see people put them there.

Nothing is wrong with vanilla, they can be pretty good, but effect monsters just have a better justification system than vanilla. For example, the vanilla monster liquid slime is a level three with 900 ATK (correct me if I got the ATK wrong) while the effect monster spirit reaper is at the same level but has 300 ATK, which is low for it's level. However, it is a level 3 monster because his effect makes up the bulk of the monster. You understand where I am getting at right?

I'm serious.

I mean, don't hate stuff for being "Boring" or "Useless"

You call Blue-Eyes Ultimate Boring?

Ya know something, some REAL Vanillas don't have support. Like Snapesnatch, or- wait, what's the name?

Anyways, I know the answer is no different from why people hate dull effects.

Sometimes, people hate both Fake Types and Vanillas. IMO, Everyone should like either, or like both.

Hating both = Bad.

Blue Eyes Ultimate is a 4500 beatstick that's easier than hell to summon and has a ton of support. Find me another vanilla like that and I'll call BEUD boring.

People hate Fake-Types cause people always post them in Realistic. Realistic is for cards that could actually be made into real cards.

Vanillas are bad and boring w/out support. If people would just make support for them we wouldn't have threads like this.

Vanillas are disliked because they are bland, boring, and doesn't take creativity to make.

Anyone can think of a simple backstory for a card, slap on an image, think of a name, and put some numbers at the bottom.

It takes plenty of creativity and innovativeness to make an effect that is flexible and able in different situations in the card game.

But why can't Normals be used strategically? Why can't you summon a Normal, equip an Axe of Despair, and call it a good strategy?

Because the card game is evolving. It has gone past the use of pumping up a monster's ATK points as a main priority. The game involves more strategy, more thinking.

As the game evolved, so did people's taste. They have seen strategy, thinking, complexity, and they like it. Normals are now too simple, and they are no longer significant.

If you would like to use Normals, create supporting equip cards that give it effects, trap cards that support them, or other things. Maybe some supporting flip effects, etc.

If you need effect ideas, I could pull something out of my head for ya.

One reason I rate low when somebody makes a vanilla is there is not enough description for example here's how I would rate a vanilla.

EXAMPLE #1: This creature can jump over buildings. RATE: what the crap no flavour text 0/10
EXAMPLE #2: This creature can bound over skyscrapers with single leaps. When it attacks people scream with fear in it's tall magnifecnt shadow. Wooo! Flavour text 5/10

Another thing is if it's a single vannila I still will rate low vanilla's need support or else they're a bump on a log so vannilas' go in sets not single cards. So you have to make beefy descriptions and beefy support that's how you get a high rate on a vanilla OR ask bringerofcake.

Blue eyes White Dragon is the one with support.
Blue eyes Ultimate is the one without, besides its high ATK and DEF.
