Fire King: deck recipe [Jan 2021]

Fire King is a high-risk high-reward type of deck which is exemplified by their boss monster, Fire King High Avatar Garunix. High Avatar Garunix only revives himself during your Standby Phase, which is usually on your next turn leaving the field unprotected. But when he does comeback he wipes out all other monsters on the field easily setting up an OTK.

In most cases the best monster to float into would be Arvata. The effect negation can deter Desperado Barrel Dragon's removal effect. Arvata will also float into another monster to catch a subsequent attack.

Aravata is a great monster to have onboard, mainly due of its ability to negate monster effects. This lets you stop enemy search effects such as Cyber Dragon Core, or prevents them from getting powerful monster onboard with effects such as Spiritual Beast Tamer Winda. Destroying another FIRE monster after using the negation effect gives Arvata some extra utility. Ideally, you use this to destroy High Avatar Garunix or Barong in your hand to get their effects off on the next turn.

The monster revived by Arvata only has its effect negated on the field. Luckily most Fire King monster effects activate from the graveyard to bypass this. So you can revive High Avatar Garunix with Arvata then have it revive itself on the next Standby Phase.

Barong searches any Fire King card, making it your most versatile search effect. The turn Barong is destroyed, put Yaksha or Arvata onboard; so that you have some way of destroying the card you searched during the opponent's turn.

A sample combo you can perform is:
(Requires Barong, Fire King Island, and Circle of the Fire Kings onhand)

1. Destroy Barong with Fire King Island to search Yaksha.
2. Summon Yaksha and set Circle of the Fire Kings before you end the turn.
3. Barong's search effect goes off to fetch High Avatar Garunix.
4. Activate Circle of the Fire Kings to revive Barong and Destroy Yaksha.
5. Yaksha's effect destroys the newly searched High Avatar Garunix.

Similar to Yaksha, Barong can also be Special Summoned in case of a field wipe by Fire King Island, so your field isn't left defenseless.

Fire King Island's first effect is a good way to trigger the effects of Fire Kings. As stated above this effect can combo well with Yaksha.

The second effect lets you Special Summon High Avatar Garunix from your hand without cost. This is good for field presence especially if you don't have Kiteroid onhand to protect you while you wait for High Avatar Garunix to revive on your next turn.

Use Onslaught to Special Summon High Avatar Garunix from the deck. This is the best way to search High Avatar Garunix and you can still use him to battle before he self-destructs during your End Phase. This self-destruction is actually beneficial since it will also prepare High Avatar Garunix' self-revival on your next turn.

Amazing Xyz enabler. Most of your Main Deck monsters are level-4 with 200 DEF, so simply activating Rekindling will almost always net you at least one Xyz monster. The downside is nothing to worry about as long as you use up the monsters you revived as Xyz material or other purposes.

This deck has above average Xyz summon capabilites mainly due to teching in Rekindling. Because of this, fill your Extra Deck with the best Rank-4s you have.

Flipping monsters face-down is a good way to turn off effects and expose weak DEF stats. Additionally, Maestroke's inherent protection allows it to survive a field wipe by High Avatar Garunix or Fire King Island.

Generally a better way to spend all three revived monsters at once. Disigma's effect gets rid of an enemy monster on the spot, and turns Disigma into a removal option against monsters with that attribute.

Summon Samurai to deal massive direct damage with his double attack effect. You can also give the double attack to Cowboy and maximize Cowboy's attack position effect. With Rekindling, getting these two Xyz monsters onboard becomes very feasible.

With only 2100 ATK there isn't really much Blackship of Corn can destroy. But when you do find the opportunity to use its effect the 1000 LP burn can be quite significant.

Diamond Dire Wolf excels in this Deck more than any other Deck that toolboxes it due to the fact Fire Kings like to be destroyed.

Except for High Avatar Garunix, the ATK stats in this deck are quite low so putting Sphere Kuriboh as a defensive option is a good choice. This will also help you when you get field wiped by your own Fire King Island.

Similar to High Avatar Garunix, but instead of wiping monsters Nephthys wipes backrow. Not searchable by Fire King Island but can be searched by Onslaught.

Yaksha combos with Fire King Island to search and destroy High Avatar Garunix in one combo. Use Fire King Island to destroy Yaksha and search High Avatar Garunix. This will trigger Yaksha's effect letting you destroy the recently searched High Avatar Garunix.

If you don't draw Fire King Island, set Yaksha. Let your opponent destroy Yaksha so you can destroy a High Avatar Garunix from your hand.

Even though Fire Kings like to be destroyed, Fire King Island wiping your monster zone upon leaving the field is just too much. This can give your opponent an opportunity to OTK you just by getting rid of Fire King Island. This can be somewhat mitigated by Special Summoning Yaksha from the hand so you don't take all the direct attacks.

Lets you destroy a Fire King to later activate its effect without leaving your field empty. You can destroy High Avatar Garunix and revive High Avatar Garunix for no overall loss in field presence while preparing to wipe out your opponent's monsters the next turn.

Shark Drake uses up all three monsters revived by Rekindling to make. The result is a monster that can aggressive beatdown enemy monsters and deal damage with its decently high ATK.

Cowboy is one of the most common monsters to add in a Rank-4 toolbox. The attack position effect can help you attack over stronger enemy monsters. While the defense position effect can steal you some wins if the opponent is down to their last 800 LP.
