Trying to make a Dogmatika Fire King deck on a budget.
Dogmatika is the cheap option instead of playing the (better) Diabellestar engine.
COMBOS:
Your main combo is through Ponix Normal Summon. NS Ponix -> Get Sanctuary -> Sanctuary gets Island -> Use Island to pop Ponix and get Garunix -> SS Garunix -> Send Barong to GY with Garunix -> Pass turn -> Standby, CL1 Barong search Kirin, CL2 add Ponix back to hand -> SS Kirin by popping Ponix.
Dogmatika cards can be used to get to Ponix with just Nadir Servant.
Nadir Servant -> Send Garura to GY and grab Maximus -> SS Maximus by banishing Garura -> use Maximus effect for Shuraig and (usually) Titaniklad -> Get Ponix with Shuraig effect --> (bonus) get Fleurdelis with Titaniklad effect at EOT
CARD CHOICES:
Main Deck:
Fire King Engine: 3x Ponix, 2x Garunix, 3x Kirin, 3x Arvata, 1x Rangbali, 1x Barong, 3x Sanctuary, 2x Island, 1x Sky Burn, 2x Tenki. The essential core of the deck, pretty much the standard ratios seen elsewhere
Dogmatika Engine: 3x Nadir Servant, 1x Maximus, 1x Fleurdelis. Another engine to get out Ponix. Fleurdelis not as essential but its a nice other interrupt plus beat stick
Handtraps: 3x Ash Blossom, 3x Droll, 3x Effect Veiler, 3x Imperm. These are pretty flexible and you can switch in Nibiru if you like or drop some for Pot of Prosperity
Other: 1x One For One, 1x Called By The Grave. 1f1 is great for grabbing ponix and Called By is an all around great card.
Extra Deck:
2x Garunix Eternity. The main interruption to play on your opponents turn based off your main combo line.
1x Garura, 1x Shuraig. The bare essentials for the Dogmatika package.
1x Titaniklad, 1x N'tss, 1x Bucephalus II. Other good cards to use with Dogmatika. Bucephalus lets you still get your searches if you already have Maximus in hand.
1x Hiita, 1x Sunlight Wolf - V A L U E. Sunlight Wolf can also return your Ash Blossoms back to hand
1x Dingirsu. Deck plays level 8s so a rank 8 fits here, could also be Hope Harbinger ($$$ option: TY-PHON)
1x Almiraj, 1x Anima. We play a key level 1 and these are two of the best Link 1's off it. Anima can really catch people off guard.
1x Phoenix, 1x Unicorn. Just generically good removal.
1x Ferrijit. Good with Dogmatika and can also be made in general.
(The last 8 spots are very flexible and you can go in many directions. Ex: adding Selene and Borrelsword/Accesscode for an OTK line off Hiita, Heatsoul and Linkuriboh for extra value, Hope Harbinger, etc.)
Side Deck (massive work in progress):
3x D.D. Crow. Great graveyard removal plus is searchable thanks to the Tri-Brigade cards
3x Nibiru. Good for special summon spam decks
1x Feather Duster, 2x Lightning Storm - premium spell & trap removal
3x Evenly Matched - one of my favorite board breakers (Dark Hole is also a spicy option)
3x Dogoran - Kaiju for any towers you run into
