So I was playing SEFK and realized I don't like Snake Eye. So I played Pure Fire King instead!

Feels much more mid-rangey than SEFK which was a breath of fresh air from all the combo decks I normally play. \nFelt really good into most decks. Yubel being the most annoying matchup in my opinion which is why I'm playing 3 Crow+Belle hoping my non-engine bailed me out most of the time. (Tear was a similar situation but not as bad of an overall matchup I found.)

Final Bringer of the End Times was a pretty cool card to have alongside Sky Burn I found. Tried 3 Sky Burn but it being OPT made opening 2 feel really bad. Have a Replay vs Lab where opening 1 Sky Burn 1 Final Bringer allowed an actual warcrime.

Deck also handles this very strange "I activate my card that lets me draw" fad pretty well. Often times 1 normal summon+a good search off island was enough to get an okay game state going for yourself without giving your opponent 20 cards.

Overall fun deck, do definitely recommend!

Pure Fire Kings Season 36

Basically same list I climbed to DLV20 in the cup with. I did replace Goddess for TY-PHON for Dragoon bozos (as pure Fire Kings only have 2 tele-graphed options to out Dragoon which are Garunix pop OG Garunix and Zealantis), but it never ended up being relevant.

Was thinking on what deck to use for DLv.Max, then I recalled this 60 card fire pile list from one of the previous Meta Weekly tourneys.

So I went ahead and looked it up, and made some adjustments to the list by checking out another similar decklist from OCG and just make more small adjustments to my personal preference.

What I prioritize for the most part is setting up the Fire king line then the Snake Eyes and/or Rescue-Ace lines are used to supplement the end board and force the opponent to have to interact with everything setup.

Pure Fire Kings Duelist Cup 2024

Same list I would use for ranked. Only real change since last season is replacing Prosperity for 1f1. Non-engine choices after Ash/Maxx/Imperm are pretty flexible as the format has a lot of different threats that lose to different techs; I personally went with Ogre as Tenpai was by far my most common match-up (Tenpai is also the main reason I am not on Droll). Encountered Gimmick Puppets a few times but not nearly as much as Tenpai. No Tenpai replays because I didn't have any interesting games against them worth recording and I already have plenty of replays bullying them on normal ladder. ED flex spots are Goddess and 2nd Princess, can replace those with other options depending on match-ups like TY-PHON.

I'm playing Fire King at locals and regionals soo I take it to the DC CUP. Not very strong against all the white forest since they don't care about pops. But clapped all tenpais. Electro Blaster + Magmacho is a fun combo, not meta and/or meta shifting, but soo cool into pure Fire Kings.

Pure Fire Kings Season 35

Pure Fire Kings worked out very solidly in Tenpai format due to its multi-layered boards, and while it's not quite as fool-proof as the Snake-Eyes variant due to no good Apollousa access and more difficult lines to make Fucho it can still do so with good hands. The climb was overall not that rough except for a few streaks of bad luck with sacks. Tenpai has ruined the format, not just as a deck by itself but some of the degenerate going-first decks I had to play against felt miserable as everybody is either playing Tenpai or some sort of going first hard-counter. Ogre felt super hit-or-miss, but I still kept it because it did just enough to make me not want to fully remove it.

Pure Fire Kings Season 35

Adjusted list for the Tenpai hellscape. Originally tried to climb with a different deck but after getting sacked repeatedly with absolutely terrible luck I swapped to ol' reliable to climb. Pure Fire Kings worked out very solidly in Tenpai format due to its multi-layered boards, and while it's not quite as fool-proof as the Snake-Eyes variant due to no good Apollousa access and more difficult lines to make Fucho it can still do so with good hands. All I really had to change was a few non-engine adjustments to play Ogre and Talents and the climb was overall not that rough (though granted my luck stopped being nearly as awful).
