"Are you willing to take the Risk?"-Single Card Discussion featuring "Cyber Stein"

(Arc Knight) Hello! Time for some interesting article.Today,I am going to tackle about a card that has recently been released from the banlist and returned to its unlimited status.Without further ado,I present to you "Cyber Stein"

Cyber Stein
Dark/Machine/2
700/500
Pay 5000 Life Points. Special Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck to the field in Attack Position.

At first,this card is a very strong card until you realized that you need to pay a measly 5000 life points and leave a weak 700 attacker behind.Well,your probably right but the great thing here is the monster you will summon by its effect and that makes him great.
This monster is also prone to negation(Effect Veiler,Breakthrough Skill,Fiendish Chain) so be warned.





Here are some of the monsters you can summon with this card:

 Naturia Extrio

-This beast negates every Spell and trap card as long as it stays.That means no Qliphort tool,Necloth rituals etc. This practically end games if you manage to protect your life points due to stein.












 Last Warrior from another Planet

-Use Stein to summon a monster that destroys your stein so you won't be open for heavy damage at the same time,prevents any kind of summon!(Though players may still normal set).You know what that means.











Overall,this card is very great if you can use it correctly.
I just wanted to ask you a question.Are you willing to take the risk?

"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 Pointsadd 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 GraveyardBanish 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 SummonedTarget 4 Pyro-Type monsters in your Graveyardshuffle 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 controlssend 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!

Nerfed-Shaddol-Single Card Discussion

(Arcknight) Hello RespectYGOer! In this article,we will talk about the new "Shaddol" cars in "The Secrets of Eternity" that has just been recently released.Without further ado,here are the cards!

SECE-JP047 エルシャドール・ウェンディゴ (El-Shaddoll Wendigo) (Super Rare)
Lv. 6/WIND/Psychic-Type/Fusion/Effect
1 “Shaddoll” monster + 1 WIND monster
This card cannot be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck except by Fusion Summon. The (1) effect of “El-Shaddoll Wendigo” can only be used once per turn. (1): Target 1 monster you control. Until the end of this turn, the target cannot be destroyed by battle with an opponent’s Special Summoned monster. This effect can also be activated on your opponent’s turn. (2): When this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can target 1 “Shaddoll” Spell/Trap card in your Graveyard. Return that card to your hand.
ATK 200/DEF 2800


-Finally,we have our WIND shaddol fusion monster.Sadly,its effects are not like her other Shaddol fusion.Being protected from being destroyed by battle seemslackluster nowadays considering there are many loopholes floating around such as 101,castel,plover etc.The only good thing I see on this card was that it is another target for Super Polymerization just in case you have a WIND match and offcourse,the artwork is cool considering it is a Shaddol version of Petolphin fusion.It is a decent card but not that great of a card(If you know what I'm saying.

SECE-JP059 魂写しの同化 (Neph-Shaddoll Fusion)
Equip Spell
This card can only be equipped to a “Shaddoll” monster. You can only activate the (2) effect of “Neph-Shaddoll Fusion” once per turn. (1): Declare 1 Attribute. The equipped monster becomes the declared Attribute. (2): You can only activate this effect during your Main Phase. Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, by sending the Fusion Material Monsters listed on that Fusion Monster from your hand or Field to the Graveyard, and this includes the equipped monster.


Secondly,we received a new Shadoll Fusion spell card.The great thing about this card is you don't need to splash other attribute monster so you can Fusion your Egrystal,Shekhinaga and Construct(or maybe wendigo).It changes attribute and fuses the monster which is good.Overall,this is a great card to add to our shaddoll deck.

On our next article,we will post different build in accordance with Shaddols.Stay tune!
