Pyromania Archetype (Pyro-Type Fusions)

[Fukato]

Pyros are awesome. Like just plain awesome, but Yu-Gi-Oh! don't like to make new things for them. So I will. Plus this archetype revolves around sending cards from your Extra Deck to Special Summon things. So they can get beaten by things like Macro Cosmos easily. But never mind that, let's get these cards going.

Give me some tips on what these cards need fixing.

[vla1ne]

i'll be reviewing your spells and traps this time around, i'll try to get through the main deck monsters the next time, and if possible, move onto the fusions after that.

 

I do have to say though, i'm not quite sure how well the ED fusion monsters are going to go over with the rest of the site members, I'm somewhat tired ATM, so i can't give a full critique, but even while i'm half asleep, they feel really busted to me.

 

so first of all, may as well start with the core card, Off fusion.

 

off fusion has the "no reaction" clause written into it, instantly making it one of the most powerful cards in the game, "cards and effects cannot be activated in response to this card" is something that should rarely be used, and when used on a quickplay spell that allows you to sumon monsters, you get results akin to super polymerization. if you remove that effect, the card would be a standard fusion quickplay, and that's perfectly fine. seeing as you appear to emphasize fusion for your archetype, a card that allows you to fuse on your opponents turn is already powerful enough. (it's one of the reasons el shaddoll fusion is considered a good card after all.)

 

tamed pyromania flame is far too powerful, but the good news is that you can likely fix much of that issue by simply attaching a "You can only control 1 face-up _____" on the end of it. the bounce is really strong, and you may need to place a hard OPT clause on that in addition to the "only control one" clause. other than that, it builds advantage by restocking your deck while spinning your opponent's monsters, it's powerful, but i guess after the aforementioned clauses it'd be acceptable.

 

tamed pyromaniaflare is essentially a retrained ROD (ring of destruction) that also grants you a free special summon. cut the burn down to half, add a hard OPT clause, and maybe make the 2nd effect only hit your monsters to burn.

[banddude]

Love how the fusions are set up and all of the main deck monsters having 200 DEF is ... interesting.

My main problem is with Ikoh. Every fusion is a pot of greed while you control no monsters? Also, if you rekindling 3 of it, that's three monsters and 3 draws. Yikes. I would either recommend a hard once per turn on Ikoh's draw effect or having the fusions special summon 2 "Pyromania" monsters with different names.

Flurry is a bit too strong with the additional burn damage tacked on to the banish effect.

That's about all I've got for the moment.

My concern is on this card: if Pyromaniac Ureki cannot be destroyed by card effects and battle, then it's impossible to destroy, since magic and traps are considered as effects....you might as well exploit a cost or weakness to this card and remove the the total immunity effect

no, that's not too much of an issue, effects that bounce, banish, or tribute all get rid of it. it's not easy, but it's very possible. even breakthrough, skill drain, and fiendish make it killable.

[Snatch Steal]

• As for Zurakh, if you decide to make him target, it should be in the cost, because targeting is pointless if it's not part of the cost, since you'll be doing the thing anyway.

• I can see Rasch being OP'ed, since it's basically a Norden with no removal costs and it gains ATK based on how many Pyros are in grave, not field, which is much easier to fill

• So the fusions are basically better versions of Rescue Rabbit lol, such a combo starter. Summon Ikoh and Naz, search and draw 1; destroy Naz to special Zurakh; Shuffle card in hand to special Naz, search a card popper; Attack three times and then circle of the fire kings for a fourth, maybe an Off Fusion for a fifth, then if I get raigeki'd I can do it all over again

And I have rekindling + flamvell counter

• The spells are all fine, but the trap is too good. Take out the banish effect and it'll probably be more balanced.

• Shinoz and Haraq are the only non-op fusions. Orikz and Ureki are insta-ban, because Ureki is basically an easier to summon Beelze, who is only felled by Compulse, Solemn Warning, maybe Mirror Force as a shaky check (since it's hard to fit into a deck) and Orikz is a beast, allowing for easy trap avoidance, combos, synchro/xyz summons, or even an all-powerful Fusion Summon. On a different note, Kanoz is kind of unbalanced, but not enough to make it an overpowered card.

 

This deck looks like it would benefit from Flamvell cards like the aforementioned Rekindling and Flamvell Counter, not to mention Flamvell Firedog. Foolish burial is an obvious choice. This deck appears to be graveyard-heavy, so Brushfire Knight could help. I would honestly like to see a Flamvell/Pyromaniac deck, since they could play off of each others' 200 Def FIRE Support while offering mix-ups in the form of synchro and fusion summons.

 

In short, pretty cool.

[Notthefreakingme]

Nice archetype. This is more of a great combo based deck and a beat down deck. But there is on major flaw with all of the deck itself. The ruling states that if an extra deck monster is sent from the extra deck to the graveyard by any effect like gale dogra or something like that, it cannot be Special Summoned. There should be a wording changed or something from making this ruling not get in the way of the deck's main play style.

 

i couldn't find the exact ruling but here it is for fusion monsters at the end and it applies to all extra deck monsters that weren't summoned properly the first time cannot be special summoned no matter what.

Well, it says "Like other Extra Deck monsters, if a Fusion Monster is not Fusion Summoned first, it cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard or while banished (unless it specifies another way to properly Special Summon it)." Off Fusion specifies that the monster should be summoned from the graveyard, so, since there is no other actual way to summon the monster, then that is likely "another way to properly special summon it." If the fusion cards said "Can only be fusion summoned using 'off fusion,' and cannot be special summoned by other ways," then that would probably be better.

I see, different dimensional deck can get rid of "Ureki" without a lot of effort, but what about other decks without banishing or bouncing effects?

 

[Fukato]

Bump. Thank you for all the reviews and I specified the Fusions summoning condition with "Off Fusion" to clear up the confusion. Also Snatch Steal? About your third point, is that combo a good thing, or a bad thing? And Ureki can be Fiendish Chained or Breakthrough by the way.

[Fukato]

Bumps.

[Notthefreakingme]

Thank you for noticing my concerns. Also nice archetype again!

[Notthefreakingme]

Have you thought on making an xyz or a synchro/ tuner for them. I think that a rank 3 should be in order with all the spamming that this deck can do especially with rekindling. Just a thought.

[Fukato]

Bump. Pyromania Jyura Xyz Monster added.

As amazing as the combo would be, it's almost Op, even with Breakthrough/Veiler/Fiendish running around. One-card combos, whether susceptible to negation or not, are usually pretty powerful. It might be fine, I just find it to be particularly spammy.
