"Blazing Everything with Magazines!"-Official RespectYGO "Volcanic" Guide

(Arcknight) Hey! I missed you all respectYGOers! Today,I will give you a short guide to an interesting deck I've been playtesting.This is a good start-up deck that players on a budget can make and definitely will be out of seen on every banlist.In other word,a long term deck that is fun to play with.

I welcome you to another RespectYGO guide featuring "Volcanics"!
Sit back,Relax and Enjoy the Flame!!!!!!

Introduction:

"Volcanic" (ヴォルカニック Vorukanikku) is an archetype of cards used by Axel Brodie in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GXanime. Most of the monsters are reptilian, combined with military hardware and are intended to be used with the card "Blaze Accelerator", which destroys opposing monsters by using Pyro-Type monsters as "ammunition" by sending them from your hand to the Graveyard.

The main theme of the cards is to destroy monsters with "Blaze Accelerator" while dealing effect damage with cards like "Volcanic Scattershot", "Volcanic Slicer" and "Volcanic Hammerer". Both effects are applied to the trump cards of the archetype: "Tri-Blaze Accelerator" and "Volcanic Doomfire". A big weakness of this Deck can be cards that stop destruction. Since the whole base of this Deck is destroying your opponent's field, cards like "Prime Material Dragon", "Destruction Jammer" and "Stardust Dragon" can stop this Deck in its tracks. Because of that, Side Decking cards like "Discord" can be helpful.

With the introduction of "Blaze Accelerator Magazine",this deck becomes faster than ever before.Now,you can now trigger your "Volcanics" that is not dependent on your opponent.With the inclusion of "Royal Firestorm Guards",you can now get and recycle your volcanics rapidly!

Without Further ado,let's go to our quick content:

Monsters:

Volcanic Rocket

Fire/Pyro/4

1900/1400

When this card is Summoned: You can add 1 "Blaze Accelerator" card from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand.

Our first candidate.It is an automatic 1900 beater and +1.It searches our main card which is Magazine.It can be also a fodder for magazine's draw.Overall,this is a must 3.Your main searcher.

Volcanic Scattershot

Fire/Pyro/2

500/0

When this card is sent to the Graveyard, inflict 500 damage to your opponent. If this card is sent to the Graveyard for theeffect of a "Blaze Accelerator" card, you can send 2 "Volcanic Scattershots" from your hand / Deck to the Graveyard todestroy all monsters your opponent controls.

-Our second best card in terms of field wipe.It doesn't only wipe the field,but also burn your opponent with a massive 1500 damage! This is one of your Go-To card when using the banish effect of your magazine and you can reload it again to your deck with the use of Firestorm guards.Wait,"Reload" your deck? that term is very nasty in Volcanics .Run 3 ALWAYS

Volcanic Shell

Fire/Pyro/1

100/0

Once per turn: You can pay 500 Life Points; add 1 "Volcanic Shell" from your Deck to your hand. This card must be in theGraveyard to activate and to resolve this effect.

Our third bullet for our magazine.It can constantly add other copies of him for +1.It is a good fodder for magazine as our main fodder when scattershot is unnecessary.Run 3 Always.

Volcanic Doomfire

Fire/Pyro/8

3000/1800

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by sending a face-up "Tri-Blaze Accelerator" you control to the Graveyard. During your opponent's Battle Phase, your opponent must attack thismonster with any Attack Position monsters they control. When this card destroys a monster and sends it to the Graveyard, destroy all monsters your opponent controls and inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each monster destroyed by this effect.

The archetype's boss monster.Unlike other outdated guide in Volcanic,I consider Doomfire good.I think there's a major reason why magazine is treated as Tri-Blaze.It is simple:To bring out doomfire. Sometimes,there are scenarios wherein you really want your magazine in your grave and you do not have the right card to send your continuous trap.This is the perfect answer for that.It can be a free 3000 beater that can wipe your opponent's field and when it is unnecessary to play this,it can be a good draw fodder for magazine.It is also a valid target for Firestorm Guards.Run Based on Preference.

Volcanic Counter

Fire/Pyro/3

300/1300

When you take battle damage while this card is in your Graveyard: Banish it from your Graveyard, then if there is a FIREmonster other than "Volcanic Counter" in your Graveyard, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the amount of battle damage you took.

-Again,some guides put this as trash and a waste of space.For me,it is a hidden gem waiting to be appreciated.It can end games because of its burn effect.It can also be a fodder for magazine and blaze accelerator.When your opponent is very low on life points,this can prevent them from attacking you.The only downside it has was it banish itself mandatory.Run based on Preference.

Royal Firestorm Guards

Fire/Pyro/4

1700/1200

If this card is Normal Summoned: Target 4 Pyro-Type monsters in your Graveyard; shuffle all 4 into the Deck, then draw 2 cards.

-This is your way to recycle your Volcanics even himself.This can become an instant Pot of avarice that can reload your scattershot for more field wipe.Amazing card.Run 2-3

Spells:

Blaze Accelerator

Continuous Spell Card

You can target 1 monster your opponent controls; send 1 Pyro-Type monster with 500 or less ATK from your hand to theGraveyard, and if you do, destroy that target. You cannot declare an attack during the turn you activate this effect.

Offcourse,Volcanics are nothing without the "Blaze Accelerators".Before the release of magazine,the main focus is to get this one through Rocket and destroy your opponent's monster at a cost of your battle phase.With the advent of Magazine,this card becomes obsolete.It can also be a tech if you want but Scattershot does the job better.Run 0-3

Traps:

Blaze Accelerator Magazine

Continuous Trap Card

This card's name becomes "Tri-Blaze Accelerator" while it is face-up in the Spell & Trap Zone. During either player'sMain Phase: You can send 1 "Volcanic" card from your hand to the Graveyard (except "Volcanic Eruption"), and if you do,draw 1 card. You can only use this effect of "Blaze Accelerator Magazine" once per turn. During either player's Main Phase: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; send 1 "Volcanic" card from your Deck to the Graveyard, except "Volcanic Eruption".

Definitely our newest and best card in this deck.It fixes consistency issue by it's draw effect.It is searchable by rocket and can be treated as Tri-Blaze for Doomfire.The best part here is when i is in the graveyard,you can banich it to send a "Volcanic" from deck to graveyard in either player's turn! That means,you can send your scattershots and have a pseudo Raigeki that can inflict 1500 damage.This card is very strong.Run 3

Tech Cards:
Pot of Avarice-Like Firestorm guards,can reload your deck and nets +2.
Foolish Burial-Can send your shell for a fodder for magazine.
Summoner Monk-Can pitch dead Accelerators and Spells for Rocket that can search our best card.
Magic Planter-Can send our Magazine to grave for a +2
Anti-Spell Fragrance-A good card vs. Necloth and Qliphorts. Can be a fodder for magic Planter.
Soul Turnover-Can offer your Rocket and Firestorm to draw 2.

Overall,this is a great startup deck that is fun to use. More reviews and deck guides will be up on our next artcile so stay tune!
