Infernity: deck recipe [Sept 2020]

Since Infernity decks only really function when your hand is empty, Infernity Launcher is one of the best things you can see in an opening hand. This will let you more easily empty your hand letting you start your plays sooner. You can activate multiple copies of Launcher and activate their effects in a single turn.

Early game you can activate Launcher and discard Archfiend. Summon a monster (if any) and set your Spell/Trap cards. If at this point you emptied your hand, you can send Launcher to the graveyard to revive Archfiend and get a search.

Mid to late game when you have enough graveyard setup is when Launcher really starts to enable your powerful combos. This includes looping Archfiend and reviving monsters in pairs to create one-card Synchro combos.

In summary Infernity Launcher is a key card that does 3 important things for this deck. Empty your hand, setup the graveyard, and revive to enable combos.

The best card to top deck if you don't have any cards onhand. Infernity Archfiend's inherent Special Summoning effect and free search makes him an excellent combo starter leading into a Synchro play. As an example you can search Infernity Beetle and Normal Summon it. Tribute Beetle to Special Summon 2 more copies of it from the deck. With Archfiend and 2 Beetles on the field, you can make a level-6 Synchro and then synchro climb into Doom Dragon.

Another thing that contributes to Archfiend's power is the absence of restriction on the number of times you can use its search effect. This means you can activate multiple times per turn and, with his Special Summoning being the trigger, you have a ton of options on how to activate this such as Necromancer, Mirage, and Launcher. Adding to this, the cards you use to revive Archfiend can be searched by Archfiend himself, forming a loop.

Looping Archfiend and Launcher would go something like this:

• Infernity Launcher revives Archfiend and Beetle. Archfiend searches another Launcher.
• Archfiend and Beetle are used to make a level-6 Synchro.
• Activate and send Launcher to the graveyard to revive Archfiend and Beetle. Archfiend searches another Launcher. (or search Barrier if you want to synchro climb and end the loop here)
• Make another level-6 Synchro with Archfiend and Beetle.
• Activate and send Launcher to the graveyard to revive Archfiend. Archfiend searches Infernity Barrier. Set Barrier.

Assuming your Infernity deck is working properly you should have no cards onhand for most of the duel. This is where your revive options such as Necromancer and Mirage show their true potential.

Normal Summon Necromancer and revive Archfiend. This will trigger Archfiend's search effect which you can use to search Infernity Launcher. Activate Launcher and send it to the graveyard to revive Beetle. With the monsters on your field you now have the options of making level-5, 6, or 9 Synchros.

Another way to start this combo is by sending Launcher to the graveyard and reviving Archfiend and Necromancer. Archfiend searches a Launcher or Barrier, and Necromancer revives Beetle.

Necromancer can actually any Infernity monster, so you can revive Doom Dragon or Archer if you have them in the graveyard.

Mirage can be considered the monster version of the second half of Launcher's effect so their use is pretty similar in that they enable Synchro plays. You can use Mirage to revive Archfiend to get the Archfiend-Launcher loop going.

Infernity Beetle's effect makes it an inherently good monster to use for synchro climbing.

Perform this combo if you have Infernity Beetle and a couple of Spell/Trap cards onhand:

• Use Labyrinth Builder to put Labyrinth Wall on the field and cut down your hand size. (prioritize returning monsters to the deck)
• Set your Spell/Trap cards and Normal Summon Infernity Beetle. At this point you should have no cards onhand.
• Tribute Infernity Beetle to Special Summon 2 more copies from the deck then use your Beetles with Labyrinth Wall to make Quariongandrax.

Extremely powerful because of its ability to negate any effect for free. The activation conditions are not really a problem since you would have an attack position Infernity monster most of the time, and an empty hand is standard for Infernity decks.

Infernity decks at their core are Synchro spam deck, so it makes sense to turn your Extra Deck into a Synchro toolbox. Most of your Synchro combos will be initiated by Launcher or Mirage's revival effect.

The big boss monster of the Labyrinth Builder version. Summoning Quariongandrax usually only requires you have Beetle and any 2 cards to use as cost for your Skill onhand. When summoned, Quariongandrax can single-handedly turn the game state in your favor.

When destroyed, Quariongadrax floats into any monster from either player's banished zone. So the monsters you banished with its first effect are also valid targets.

Summon Vermillion Mech Dragon by reviving Archfiend and Necromancer with Mirage's effect, and then reviving Beetle with Necromancer's effect.

The removal effect is good because it can target any card on the field, and the cost can easily paid because just one Beetle can search out all your copies from the deck. But be careful not to banish all your Beetles because Infernity decks don't have any interaction with the banish zone.

Doom Dragon is a good way to deal with opponent's monsters and deal damage without actually attacking. The removal effect is non-targeting which can get around some protection.

The burn effect is usually even better for dealing damage than battling with Doom Dragon. This is also a good way to play around enemy battle traps like Drowning Mirror Force and Wall of Disruption if you suspect they have any.

Hundred Eyes Dragon can copy Infernity Necromancer's effect and revive Infernity Archfiend. This extends your combo, allowing you to make even more Synchro monsters or just swarm the field.

A more direct and offense-oriented option is to copy Infernity Archer's effect. This lets you attack your opponent directly for 3000 damage, usually ending the Duel.

Make Stardust Charge Warrior when synchro climbing from level-6 to level-8. The draw effect upon summoning helps you maintain resources for something as costly as synchro climbing.

Pair Archfiend with Beetle to make Stardust Charge Warrior. And then pair Stardust Charge Warrior with another Beetle to make your level-8 Synchro.

Coral Dragon is the monster you want for synchro climbing into Vermillion Dragon Mech. Summon Coral Dragon by using Archfiend paired with Beetle. And then pair Coral Dragon with Necromancer to make Vermillion Mech, this triggers Coral Dragon's draw effect.

You can use Coral Dragon's removal effect in between summoning it and using it as synchro material. In this case search something like Infernity Archer with Archfiend's effect, a monster you can make use of later.

Arguably the most popular generic level-6 Synchro monster. Brionac has extra utility in an Infernity deck because of its ability to clear your hand.

Black Rose Dragon is used in the Labyrinth Builder version of this deck as a way to punish your opponent for over-committing to their board. Summon it with Labyrinth Builder paired with Beetle.

You can use World Legacy Clash, to prevent your Black Rose Dragon from being destroyed by its own effect.

This skill reduces your hand size which is always good in an Infernity deck. Additionally it gives you a monster you can Synchro Summon with.

Your opponent can’t activate cards or effects in response to the activation of this Skill, so, if you suspect they might have a Treacherous Trap Hole, I would advise Summoning Infernity Beetle before creating the Labyrinth Wall.

Note by Nathan88_GR:

"Basically survive second/third turn and pray to have in your hand the launcher or mirage. If they don't disrupt you you can OTK them easily using the coral-stardust combo into Onimaru. KOG worthy deck but definitely not tiered as it needs better support(Maybe upcoming XYZ?)."

Note by Brad:

"This is an Infernity build I got to KOG with. The climb was rough, but I managed to preserver. For starters, I want to make it clear to anyone wanting run Infefnities, that that coinflip will matter alot in some matchups.

Trap Stun is an excellent card for neutralizing alot of threats that kill this deck, such as Karma-Cut, and Floodgate. It defintely carried my setup through alot of seemingly bleak situatuons. Ideally, you want your opening hand with at least 1 Floodgate / Canadia, Trap Stun, and Mirage / launcher. With this setup, and going first, your well equipped to tackle anything. Your objective is to survive until your second turn, so that you can pop the skill. This archetype's major weakness is that your defenses are incredibly soft until the skill can pop, so to compensate we're loading our deck with an abundance of control traps and anti back-row.

When setting up your field on that first turn, be mindful of what's in your hand. Ideally when you pop the skill, you want to ensure there are at least 4 cards in your hand, because 2 of those cards will be going to graveyard to dump 2 infernity monsters into your graveyard directly from your deck, which will always be your Infernity Archfiend and Beetle. These two monsters always have priority in regards to discarding and dumping. Without these two monsters, you won't be able to pop off.

Now, it's essential to understand that while you're setting your protection for the first turn, there's alot you need to consider. Your opponent will likely pop your back row via cosmic cyclone the moment their turn begins. Mixup the order in which you place your cards. People preemptively enjoy targeting the middle card a majority of the time, but higher level players will be aware of this trick. Trust your judgement. If you make it to the second turn and you have trap stun set, immediately pop it on your draw phase. This will completely negate every other trap effect for the rest of this turn, and that's all you'll need to win. The alternative is to save Hey Trunade in your hand for the big moment. I almost feel as if this card is necessary in almost any Infernity build. After you use the skill, this is the typical bnb:

1. Special summon Archfiend and Beetle via Launcher / Mirage.

2. Now this is important. When Archfiend's effect pops, you're going to have a choice to search Launcher or Mirage. If you have not yet utilised your normal summon, ALWAYS search Mirage. You want to preserve your 3 Launchers and extend your synchros as far as they can possibly go.

3. Synchro into either Coral Dragon or Brionac as your first synchro. This is heavily dependent on the matchup. Anything your dealing with that has destruction immunity, use Brionac. Otherwise, Coral will be your go to.

4. Activate Mirage Launcher once more, special summon Archfiend and Beetle back onto the field. Synchro into Stardust Assault Warrior. Activate his effect upon summoning. You'll draw a card.

5. Activate Coral Dragon or Brionac's effect to discard the card you just drew to pop a card on the field.

6. Use Coral and Stardust Assault to Synchro into Onimaru. From here on out, the synchro routes are up to you.

That's the deck. Once it goes off, it will go off hard and it's difficult to stop if you manage to nullify their necktie. "
