What do we want our Deckmaster to do? Vanquish Soul Razen
- Combo Starter for Vanquish Soul: https://youtu.be/tehCyt97Ft4?si=gkYa8FEQCxTXwu3k
- Resummoned through Rock of the Vanquisher to add more cards on opponent's turn
- Provide emergency destruction control
Vanquish Soul Razen provides access to the Vanquish Souls engine by searching out Vanquish Soul Jiaolong.
With Vanquish Soul Razen's second effect, we gain access to a monster destruction effect of monsters in the same row. This effect can destroy up to 2 monsters in the same column! This allows us to have a on-demand destruction effect, as long as it is a monster controlled by the person accross from me. While this is a limited effect, the ability to do so will need to be played around by our opponent and is s powerful control/destruction effect.
Search targets using Vanquish Soul Razen//Vanquish Soul Jiaolong :
Resource Generation
- Draw/Search every turn using Vanquish Soul Jiaolong + Vanquish Soul Heavy Borger
- Use self-reviving monsters like Sacred Fire King Garunix , Dark Hole Dragon , Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames , Diabellstar the Black Witch
- Draw cards using Supply Squad and Dark Factory of More Production
- Legendary Fire King Ponix to resummon and add Fire King spell/traps to hand every turn
- The Hallowed Azamina + Deception of the Sinful Spoils to resummon Azamina fusion monsters
The Primary source of Resource Generation can be accessed through our Deckmaster, accessing both Vanquish Soul Jiaolong and Vanquish Soul Heavy Borger to draw and add cards every turn. You aim to start your second turn with a healthy full hand, which will hopefully also contain access to the other engines in the deck.
Azamina Fire Kings are both heavily recursive engines paired together through Diabellstar the Black Witch , who can access Deception of the Sinful Spoils and/for Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye. Legendary Fire King Ponix returns from GY to hand, and when our FIRE monsters are destroyed it will resummon and add a Fire King card. This generation of resources allows us to consistantly access the entirey of the Fire King engine with just an access to Legendary Fire King Ponix. The second aspect of Fire Kings is Sacred Fire King Garunix, who can destroy monsters from our deck. This is mainly used to control the board through the effects our monsters have when destroyed.
Legendary Fire King Ponix adds:
The Hallowed Azamina is an amazing card that returns to hand for almost free. Our fusions of choice are Azamina Mu Rcielago and Azamina Ilia Silvia . Azamina Mu Rcielago can add Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye to access Legendary Fire King Ponix and therefore access the Fire King Portion of the Deck. Azamina Ilia Silvia acts as an omni-negate for situations that call for it. Deception of the Sinful Spoils can easily reset itself, allowing us to pay for the effect of The Hallowed Azamina to cheat out both of these cards turn after turn. ( The Hallowed Azamina can be used more than once per turn)
Fire King Starters:
Azamina Starters:
Control // Poppers
- Sacred Fire King Garunix accesses Fire King High Avatar Garunix , Fire King High Avatar Kirin , and Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys which can wipe the board
- Legendary Fire King Ponix accesses Fire King s/t to control the board
- Azamina Ilia Silvia can negate effects and be easily resummonable
- Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames pops a card on summon
Fire King Azamina is our main control tool against our opponents. Sacred Fire King Garunix accesses the rest of the deck, many of which will destroy a card on field. Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames can similarly pop a card on field once summoned. Because of the recursive nature of Sacred Fire King Garunix and Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames , we can be assured to access them multiple times per rotation.
Azamina gives this deck an additional layer of recursivness through The Hallowed Azamina , which easily resets itself to hand and recycles and cheats out Azamina Ilia Silvia, which is an omni-negate. Additionally, Azamina Mu Rcielago and Diabellstar the Black Witch can add disruptive Sinful Spoils cards to use against our opponent.

Sacred Fire King Garunix Destruction Targets:
Other cards this deck uses are monster Field Wipes like Dark Hole , Raigeki , Swords of Concealing Light
Big Damage
- Hurt them hard after wiping the board with Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys or Fire King High Avatar Garunix!
- Tenpai Dragon combo: https://youtu.be/Dc_sJ295ckQ?si=l251m--YLrYlh-0h
- 1500 burn damage each turn provided by Vanquish Soul Heavy Borger (revived by Vanquish Soul - Continue? if necessary)
To finish games after grinding out or destroying our opponent's resources through boardwipes, we want a way to finish their lifepoints as well! Sangen Summoning by itself can deal a total of 37600 through the Tenpai combo line. With these big damage plays we are sure to wipe the board of monsters and hopefully life points as well!
This strategy will require us to draw into one of our combo starters through the draws optained from Vanquish Soul Heavy Borger. An alternative would be to send Tenpai Dragon Paidra to the GY throughFire King Avatar Kirin , Foolish Burial or Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss and reviving it through Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames.
A combo line will be attached below.
https://youtu.be/Dc_sJ295ckQ?si=l251m--YLrYlh-0h
After getting our oppoenents close to the end with Tenpai, if we couldn't finish them off, the direct damage will get them! Vanquish Soul Heavy Borger provides 1500 direct burn damage through revealing a EARTH and FIRE, every turn!
Tenpai Starters:
A note about Card Draw vs. Boardwipes:
What good are card draws if you can't draw into boardwipes? In a deck like this one, full of starters that are not great to draw into beyond the first starter, I want to be able to find my boardwipes. I would very much rather draw a boardwipe than to draw a card-draw card that may likely instead draw into starters instead of more boardwipes.
Therefore, while card draw is important for the resource game, I need to make sure I have enough boardwipes/generics I want to draw into before I consider what card draw to put in. Currently, I'd rather add more boardwipes than add more card draw.
Notable Interactions:
- Fire King High Avatar Garunix or Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys (Destroyed) + Tenpai Dragon Paidra:
Both of these monsters will wipe the field on our next Standby Field after being destroyed. We can immediatly capitalize on this by utilizing Tenpai Dragon Paidra for the full Tenpai combo to hit for 37500 dmg, and elimate everyone. If accessing these destructions using Sacred Fire King Garunix , you should also destroy Fire King Avatar Kirin to send Tenpai Dragon Paidra to GY to revive with Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames. - Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames + Fire King Avatar Kirin (Destroyed):
By destroying Fire King Avatar Kirin (usually through Sacred Fire King Garunix) to send a FIRE monster from our Deck to GY, then reviving it with Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames we can access any of our FIRE engine. You would most likely use Fire King Avatar Kirin to send Tenpai Dragon Paidra to access the Tenpai OTK. - Fire King Avatar Arvata + Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames + Sacred Fire King Garunix (GY) :
The core loop of this deck. Fire King Avatar Arvata will destroy Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames on the field to trigger the revive of Sacred Fire King Garunix. Then Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames can revive by destroying Sacred Fire King Garunix. We will get interaction with Fire King Avatar Arvata (Monster Negate), Sacred Fire King Garunix (varied interaction), and Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames (Monster Destruction) - Fire King Island + Sacred Fire King Garunix:
Destroying a FIRE monster with Fire King Island to add Sacred Fire King Garunix will immediatly allow you to summon Sacred Fire King Garunix from hand since it does see the destruction happen. - Legendary Fire King Ponix (GY) + Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames:
Legendary Fire King Ponix can be put into GY a number of ways, including through the effects of Fire King Avatar Kirin, Tri-Brigade Fraktall , and Foolish Burial. Following this, we can go through our normal combo line then use Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames to revive it without negating its effects. This will allow us to search Fire King Island in order to then access Sacred Fire King Garunix (destroying Legendary Fire King Ponix). - Sacred Fire King Garunix + Fire King Avatar Barong (destruction target) + Fire King Avatar Rangbali (search target):
In the case we cannot or do not want to set up Fire King Avatar Arvata in GY for Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames to revive, we can obtain an alternate negate through Fire King Avatar Rangbali. By destroying Fire King Avatar Barong, we are allowed to add Fire King Avatar Rangbali on the next standby phase. After triggering a destruction/revive of Sacred Fire King Garunix (through Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames GY effect for instance), we can then destroy Fire King Avatar Yaksha from deck which destroys Sacred Fire King Garunix on field to summon Fire King Avatar Rangbali from our hand. You may choose to add Fire King Avatar Arvata from Fire King Avatar Barong instead of Fire King Avatar Rangbali and instead destroy Fire King High Avatar Kirin from deck to summon Fire King Avatar Arvata from hand if you wish. - Azamina Mu Rcielago + Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye + Legendary Fire King Ponix:
Through Deception of the Sinful Spoils in order to add The Hallowed Azamina to summon Azamina Mu Rcielago, we can add Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye to summon Legendary Fire King Ponix and access our Fire King engine. - Vanquish Soul Heavy Borger + Tenpai Combo:
After full Tenpai Combo, we expect our opponent to be low on life points. At this point, using Vanquish Soul Heavy Borger (potentially revived through Vanquish Soul - Continue?) to burn for 1500 direct damage by revealing an EARTH + FIRE a few times should end the game - Magmacho Dragon + XYZ Rank 8:
By using Magmacho Dragon for an XYZ play, we can send it to GY instead of banishing it. This is useful to draw more cards. Remember, Magmacho Dragon can be triggered to summon on the opponent's turn if you wish to.
