My deck seems like it could use a few quick fixes. It started out as a pyro deck but I decided that I would rather use Sacred Phoenix then Infernal Flame Emperor. Its an all fire monster deck (except for Hand of Nephyths which should have been fire anyways), so no breaker or scapegoats (earth-type tokens) or anything like that. When i've play tested it, I noticed that Hand does ruin some 'flow' to the deck, such as no search via UFO, no power up for UBK or Gaia Soul, no power up from Molten Destruction, and no fodder for Spirit. I always liked the idea of useing soul exchange with Thestalos and also the ruling of using it with Hand of Nephyths, but I only have one SE in right now. There aren't enough good FIRE 1 tribute monsters to use more. I'm think about taking it out for a Brain Control. Try to keep the deck to 40 cards if you can.

Monsters: 19
Thestalos x3
Sacred Phoenix
Blazing Inpachi x2 (best attacker right now, to bad Konami doesn't make a 1900 *hint *hint*)
Spirit of Flames x2
Gaia Soul x2 (quick graveyard presence for Spirit and nice trample)
Solar Flare Dragon x3
UFO Turtle x3
Flame Ruler (incase Hand dies and its searhcable)
Ulitmae Baseball Kid (nice attacker with 2 or more FIRE out, 500 damage effect)
Hand of Nephyths (should have been fire, Creator=light, Creator incarnate=light, also, its too good not to use, summons from hand or DECK))

Spells: 13
Mystical Space Typhoon
Premature Burial
Molten Destruction x2 (Really helps the strength of the monsters)
Heavy Storm
Nobleman of Crossout
Pot of Greed
Soul Exchange
Creature Swap
Graceful Charity
Hammer Shot
Snatch Steal
Swords of Revealing Light

Traps: 8
Dust Tornado
Needle Ceiling (destroy pheonix to get its effect, good against swarm)
Ring of Destruction
Call of the Haunted
Torrential Tribute
Bottomless Traphole x2
Mirror Force

I haven't made a side deck yet and probably will later. If you want to add in Ligthning vortex, go ahead, i have one but Im waiting for the common version to come out in the next Structure deck.

No one has anything to say, even an opinion will work.

Might I suggest dropping a Thestalos and placing in another Blazing Inpachi? And Hand of Nephthys and Flame Ruler for something like another Ultimate Baseball Kid??

Hammer Shot should be dropped. It's a BAD card.. Instead use Rush Recklessly? The chainable possibilities are endless. And why not Backfire since it is a FIRE deck?

Nice deck, but needs some work.

Originality = 8/10
Playability = 7.5/10 (-.5 for Human Error)

I might take out the flame ruler for another Ultimate Baseball Kid, But i really like the 3 thestalos. They work amazing against burn and i almost alwysy have a way to get them out. I use hammer shot because i can use it to kill my own phoenix to get its effect, which i notice my oppoents try to kill it with battle insted of using there card effects. Hmm, using Backfire sounds like fun, i'll side it for now until i can think of something to take out for it. Thanks for the fix.

Leave the Flame Ruler in. Never know when you might need him to get Phoenix out.

In fact I'd say drop one Testaros and put in a second Flame Ruler

y not run a horus in a fire deck best fire monster i can think of plus u can u can u the spell can level up 2 get out the higher lvs faster

I was thinking about using Horus, but this deck started as a pyro and I don't know what to take out for it. I really like the discard effect of Thestalos.

Try 2x Area B, the stall factor + 3 flare's really hurts. Also smooth move with the Gaia for yard presense. I would suggest highly, a robbin' (goblin or zombie), you are already pounding on the front door with Thestalos, and with 3x flares the robbin effectively lets your beat down the door and ravage the kitchen like a stoner. We found in our burn decks that adding the strong stalls (messanger or area B or Gravity Bind) intensifies the burn effect, allows for drawing, and depending (if you run a lava golem) can NUKE them at the correct time.

But im a noob.

I think i might try 1 or 2 messenger of peace. I like it more then the LLAB because i can choose not to pay and then go on the offensive when i want to, that way, i don't have to use one of my M/T destroyers or count on my opponent to destroy it. I also like one of the robbins but i only have 2 tramplers and they only survive for one turn, then will most likely be removed from play. If there was a fire mon that had trample and stayed alive, i would definatly use one. Thanks for the help.

You mention a maybe on the robbin becuase you only have 2 trample and they arent gauranteed to stay out, however robbin's effect will take place due to your Solar Flares, which being a passive gives you the optimal effeciency of robbin (you do NOTHING, and still get its effect ... while ur waiting for 1 of your 3 thestalos)

Actually, the robbins effect only works with BATTLE damage, solar flares effect and thestalos discard burnage is a kind of effect damage, so they wouldn't work.

sorry mate, im still new and there are so many damn cards in yu-gi-oh that are errated its quite irrating. If it wasnt battle damage, it be nasty though. Thanks for the info ... gotta change one of mine now lol.

I'd cut the phoenix as Thestalos roxorz and he also can be used for some control ( if you play D.Duo)
Cut Needle Ceilng and Hammershot for one controller and a dust tornado..

Can u r/f my deck. The Hive. link in the sig

Ya, I would drop the phoenix and the other 2 mons that support it if there was another good fire 1 tribute monster, but there isn't. Its the next best one, even though its 2 tributes. About the controller...ya...and dust tornado is side decked so i can always add another one and take out ceiling or hammer. thanks for the help.

Nice deck 8/10 for playability

9/10 for originality, dunno what to channge it tho
