Fire King: deck recipe [Apr 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.

Keep Veil in your hand until you take your first large amount of damage. Then Special Summon him to effectively nullify the damage from that attack, and getting a body on board to catch a subsequent attack. If Veil survives till your next turn, you can use it as Xyz material.

Except for High Avatar Garunix, the ATK stats in this deck are quite low so teching 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.

Unlike Veil, Kiteroid actually nullifies the damage so you can use it against attacks that would've been lethal. One Kiteroid can nullify damage twice; once from the hand and another time while in the graveyard.

Book of Moon is generally a great tech card. Arvata only negates activated monster effects, so if you want to turn off continuous effects you can put them face-down. Book of Moon can be used defensively to put an attacking enemy monster face-down, or offensively to expose weak DEF stats.

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.

Summon Heliopolis by using two High Avatar Garunix as material. With the removal targets only being limited by the resources you control, Heliopolis is able to wipe out the enemy field and attack directly for 3000 damage. Keep in mind this cost is a tribute so it won't activate the effects of Fire Kings.

Since you can only use Utopia Ray's effect when down to your last 1000 LP, he is best used to clutch the game. The ATK manipulation can help you get rid of a powerful enemy monster and deal massive damage. Keep in mind this effect can be activated multiple times per turn as long as you have the materials.

Reserve Utopia until you plan to make Utopia Ray.

Abyss Dweller is great at preventing the opponent from using resources from the graveyard such as The White Stone of Ancients and all Noble Arms. But making Spider Shark usually take priority.

Make sure to toggle your chain to "ON" instead of "AUTO" then use Abyss Dweller's effect at the start of the opponent's turn for best results.

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.

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.

If you don't need a permanent removal like Diamond Dire Wolf, or can't use destruction effects against the monster you want to remove, make Malevolent Sin. This monster also grows into stronger beater as it battles easily attacking over most monsters after a few turns.

Notably, when temporarily banishing an Xyz monster with Malevolent Sin's effect, the Xyz monster comes back with no materials attached. This can be used strategically against threats such as Number 37: Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark and Abyss Dweller.

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.

Usually you'll be using this floating effect to fetch Arvata. Set Fire King Avatar Garunix to have it be destroyed by the opponent during battle to activate its effect.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
