Laval Synchro: deck recipe [Dec 18]

“Laval” is an archetype of FIRE monsters, whose effects mainly focus on setting up the Graveyard and then taking advantage of it. Some “Laval” monsters, like Laval Volcano Handmaiden, are able to send cards of their own archetype to the Graveyard, others, like Laval Stennon, can then use those cards to activate their effects.

Interestingly enough, after the release of Absolute Inferno, we are only missing two “Laval” monsters to complete the archetype: Laval Judgment Lord and Laval Magma Cannoneer, both of which are able to deal up to 1000 effect damage per turn via their effects. Anyway, now that we have Molten Conduction Field, it is definitely a lot easier to set up the Graveyard and, thanks to the Tuners introduced in the new Main BOX, the deck has access to a decent Extra Deck, which is also quite nice.

Aliester has a quick effect that lets you boost the ATK of a Fusion monster by a significant amount. Extremely useful when Purgatrio is going in for the kill.

In a FIRE attribute deck such as this, mixing in the Invoked engine gives you easy access to their most popular Fusion monster.

1. Start the engine by Normal Summoning Aleister and fetching Invocation.
2. Activate Invocation using Aleister on your field and a Laval monster in your graveyard as materials to make Purgatrio.
3. Activate Invocation's graveyard effect to recover Aleister and put Invocation back in your deck.
4. Repeat on your next turn.

Inherent ATK boost, multi-attack, and piercing effects combined in one monster makes for a very potent damage dealer. Attack aggressively after summoning Purgatrio. Wipe out the enemy backrow with Dustflame Blast before summoning Purgatrio so it can attack safely.

Handmaiden extends your milling. Her effect will trigger even if she wasn't destroyed, but you still need at least a “Laval” monster in your Graveyard other than “Laval Volcano Handmaiden” for that to happen.

You can mill other copies of Handmaiden with this effect; loading all of them into your graveyard at once.

Do not discard Handmaiden as cost for Cannoneer.

Use Molten Conduction Field to set up your Graveyard for Dustflame Blast. If you have at least another “Laval” monster in your Graveyard when Laval Volcano Handmaiden is sent there, it will allow you to send a “Laval” monster from your Deck to the Graveyard.

Since Molten Conduction Field send all cards to the Graveyard simultaneously, it will be quite easy to activate Handmaiden’s effect as long as you don’t send it to the Graveyard on Chain Link 2 or higher or to activate a card like Enemy Controller or Hallowed Life Barrier.

Cannoneer's effect lets you deal significant burn damage, use lakeside Lady or Forest Sprite as cost for this. However, Cannoneer's best quality is his 200 DEF stat, making him the only non-Tuner in this deck you can revive with Rekindling.

Banishes itself and another Laval monster to destroy a set card.

There are a few issues with this effect:

• If you target a Set card and your opponent flips it face-up in response, the card does NOT get destroyed because it’s not a suitable target anymore;

Setting that aside, this effect can be used to give Laval Cannon’s effect a suitable target ending in a Synchro Summon. And it’s not that bad when you’re facing off against Control and Stall decks, which do run a lot of back row. Getting three “Laval” monsters with different names into the Graveyard is really not an issue thanks to Laval Volcano Handmaiden.

The deck has a ton of banishing effect so Laval Cannon will most likely have suitable revival targets upon summoning. Normal Summon Laval Cannon and revive one of the Laval girls, depending on what level of Synchro you want to make.

Forest Sprite's effect provides a slight boost to all your Laval monsters. Her level also makes her a good pair with Burner to make your wide range of level-7 Synchros.

The mass Special Summoning is great for enabling Synchro plays.

• Revive Cannoneer and Lakeside Lady to make level-7 Synchros.
• Cannoneer and Handmaiden to make Lavalval Dragon.
• Cannoneer and Forest Sprite to make Lavalval Dragun.
• Cannoneer, Lakeside Lady, and Forest Sprite to make Quariongandrax.

Dustflame Blast is a really powerful Trap Card that, with enough setup, could even end up wiping your opponent’s entire board by itself.

Bouncing cards back into the opponent’s hand is an efficient form of removal: big threats such as the Xyz, Synchros, and Fusion monsters will be difficult to bring back right away. You can use the monsters you used to Summon Lavalval Dragon as cost for its effect.

This Level 7 Synchro can negate the effect of any card that targets it by simply banishing a “Laval” monster from your Graveyard. As long as your opponent is not able to get over Stennon by battle, it will be quite difficult to deal with this monster.

Graveyard disruption is good, but being tied to how many cards your opponent has onhand means you'll only be banishing 1 or 2 cards usually. This also doesn't bode well for its potential as a beater.

• The deck struggles against anything that is above 2700 ATK if your removal options are not available.
• Sealed Tombs can be used to prevent you from activating Dustflame Blast and Laval Lakeside Lady’s effect, which means it can essentially shut down your Deck for an entire turn.

Due to the amount of milling in this deck, you'll almost always meet the requirements for Burner's inherent Special Summoning. Burner can then be used as Synchro material alongside a Normal Summoned Tuner.

Use Dragun for deck cycling. The effect is great at getting the Laval girls in the graveyard to activate their effects.

An extremely powerful Synchro monster that can only be realistically summoned in this deck with Rekindle. Banishes 3 enemy cards upon summoning which can effectively clear their field. Then with Quariongandrax's high ATK stats, you can go for the kill.

The floating effect is also not bad since you do a lot of banishing in this deck, giving you a lot options for revival target. Or you can revive the enemy monster you previously banished when Quariongandrax was summoned.

Squiresaga can banish a Laval monster in your graveyard to destroy an enemy Spell/Trap card. The milling ability of this deck ensures you'll have enough monsters to banish for cost. The banished monster can then be brought back by Laval Cannon; for another Synchro Summon if it was a Tuner.
