Darj Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 If the Extra Deck is optional, then why main the Masked Chameleons? Yeah, I get it is most likely a joke and you should be running generic Rank4s and Synchros. I have no experience with Volcanics but for some reason I feel that 17 monsters are a bit too much, although the Shells, Scattershots and Blaze Accelerators should thin the deck enough to prevent you from clogging the hand with monsters. But still, I guess you could drop 1 Chameleon and possibly 1 Firestorm Guards because I believe they are not cards you want to see in first turn or early game, and reducing the # of them in the deck drops the chances for that happening. The same goes to x3 Call of Haunted: It looks like it is not a card you want to see early game and feels like it can become cloggy, so perhaps it may be better to run just 2? Wasn't Summoner Monk more of an staple in Volcanics? Or it is not longer effective because it doesn't work with Magazine? Have you tested Blaster? A recurring 2800-ATK beater that can also become an pseudo-Raigeki Break is nothing to laugh at. Problem is that it would be gradually removing FIRE fuel from the grave. Finally, wouldn't be better to run x3 Emptiness than x3 Prison? I have not tested it myself, but I once read that running 3 Emptiness was more or less becoming a trend, so it might be a good idea to run 3 as well, or at least give it a try.

Goose Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 The monster lineup in Volcanics is tricky. I have 17, but only 10 that I actually will ever summon and only 9 that I can normal summon. I find Volcanics often are really weak in terms of monster presence. RFG and MC are there so that the deck can summon stuff, and MC is fantastic with Shell and Scattershot. CotH in exchange for Vanity's might be smart though. I don't like Monk though. It's only value is bringing out Rocket and going into a rank 4. I don't like it, but some people do. Chameleon has replaced it in my books Blaster might be good. Haven't tested it because conceptually I don't like it. The only FIRE monsters that would be good to banish are the RFGs. Counter will banish itself because lol its terrible and Rockets/Scattershots/Shells are essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddamnit names are a pain Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 [Monsters - 17] 3x Rocket 3x Scattershot 3x Shell 1x Counter 1x Doomfire 3x Royal Firestorm Guards 3x Masked Chameleon [Spells - 19] 1x Blaze Accelerator 1x Wildfire 3x Pot of Duality 3x Mystical Space Typhoon 1x Soul Charge [Traps - 11] 3x Blaze Accelerator Magazine 3x Dimensional Prison 3x Call of the Haunted 2x Vanity's Emptiness 1x Bottomless Trap Hole 1x Solemn Warning 1x Compulsory Evacuation Device you can run an extra deck is you want Trick or Treat! Poor Goose can't count. Here I thought you were running a 47 card deck... But instead you are running a 37 card deck? Ok, doing the math…9 Spells…14 Traps…17 monsters. Ok, now it adds up. I feel you need BTS and Wiretap, personally. I'd drop a Prison and a CoTH to add two BTS, and drop a CED for Wiretap. I've never played Volcanics so I can't quite help in the monster department. Also, you have a lot of Continuous Traps, are you sure they don't clog in anyway? D Prison at three feels like a bit much, and you'd typically want Vanity's at three instead. The issue is, it counteracts your Call of the Haunted a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I fixed the numbers and made the change I said I would. It might clog more with 3 Magazine than it did before, but I doubt it. DPrison I love because it's basically your only out to things that can't be destroyed by card effect.
