Fyredols, the Direct Attack.dek (20/20)


Fukato

Recommended Posts

Fyredols are an archetype of FIRE Fairies that revolve around direct attacking. With direct attacking, they are very Battle Phase focused and can be easily stopped by any Battle Traps (not like anyone runs them) or anything that can remove them from the field. They have very little ATK since they are direct attackers but in exchange they have high DEF, much higher than normal for FIRE monsters as they tend to have low DEF but high ATK stat all around. In the Main Deck, they have cards that double the damage output of 1 of the monsters at a time, usually being the first one to attack so if you want to maximize damage every turn, you have to plan the attacks. They have the basic searches as well as some play extension. They are also very Trap heavy and their Traps are much more versatile, each having a potent first effect for the most part and a secondary GY effect to help keep a field and/or advantage as well as making them Foolish Burial Goods targets.

For the Extra Deck, they particularly excel in Link Monsters, most of them also having effects that trigger upon inflicting battle damage just as the rest. However, since they do tend to have low ATK for their Link Rating, they offer themselves protection. If they are pointing to a monster, they cannot be targeted for attacks. With this, if two were to point to each other, they can create an attack lock but this is easily breakable with effects. They do have a Link-4 that gives them more control and an option to revive monsters from the GY. The Synchro Monster is a utility card they have that allows them to sweep smaller boards and get rid of problematic cards by way of shuffling.

While the Fyredols are not based on anything in particular, they are based off of the positions in idol groups and terms for their kind of music.

wait did you use certain text element/extention while making the post? its still black in my screen

well, if this one time you still can't change it i can review as it is, although it will take a bit of time back-and-forth of me reading it in highlight

ok its much more clear.

welp kinda big set so disclaimer 1st:

before we start, due to irl business or any factor that will take to long to explain, im usually review in parts across 2+ days (especially for big set) and hopefully with combination chances and your respond i will do my best to complete the review as soon as possible

-with that out of the way in general-

well you don't have to use bullet symbol for most of these monster effect. neither of such effects is optional to the other. so you can save spacing and wording on the text when you make the visual card for them later. the choice to make them DEF higher than 200 is kinda intriguing, on one hand is...kinda missed chance since it can't be supported by most FIRE support ALSO by play style you will "forced" to put this on attack position anyway which still a 3-digit stat for most part so i think you can get away by making their DEF 200 unless there a specific gimmick involving over-200 DEF. on the other hand its also understandable why this is not 200 DEF due to their decent toolbox effect going on. and perhaps a bit TOO generic.

-now on individual cards-

lead: standard but welcomed search effect. that being said, the float effect is kinda too expensive, i think you can get away by removing the discard part OR keep the discard but add certain interaction or bonuses

star: nice extender. can fetch things ala "foolish burial" on damage. good card overall

cover: kinda weird tag-out effect but i guess it meant to reuse your search/extender effect. now the damage effect however, even with abundant of negation and quick destruction effect, in practice player that pilot your deck may as well add the same amount of disruption to your deck as the opponent and in that scenario this effect will went live much easier and can be as devastating as it is annoying

dancer: nice package of extender. 2nd effect revival is pretty nice

partner: pretty much turn lead singer effect to "special summon this from your deck" which kinda overbearing a bit, maybe only special summon on certain extra conditions like only by normal draw or added by Lead while Lead is Normal Summoned. also this and cover artist practically 6 copies of Altergeist Meluseek and share pretty much the same problem

that's part 1 for now

2nd voice: good extender that float into archetypal things is good. again, watch out of its generic-ness though

Opener: pure defensive card that take advantage of their unusually bit higher DEF. its kinda dilemma, it doesn't contribute much outside its utility and as while it can boost as high as 3000 which pretty hard to get over by most meta staple it doesn't really help you to actually build a offensive-counterattack against the very same threat like the others member did

Concert: good search effect. 2nd effect is understandable but also not something i particularly like IMO. the control aspect of the deck being low stat, good disruption while it can be slow is already solid and commonly known play-style. while it dont really contribute to board's resilient since is not providing sticky, tangible, stat it does give the member ability to snowballing kill real fast

stage: welp we have our second field spell, its not really as good as the 1st one but has niche for GY-based plays. still decent

duet: its decent for what it do though ultimately its a bit to slow for such effect

Routine: same problem with duet, decent card but trapped in slow mechanic

Ah, the Traps were designed to be slow but I'll think about powering them up if it really needs to be. As for the second Field Spell, I'm not sure about it. I honestly don't like it myself but I'm not sure what effect to give it. Any suggestions for that?

i don't think you need a second field spell and in general you don't have to put this much card into a single archetype while of course we don't want another case of " Endymion, the Mighty Master of Magic " but we still need to make the effect necessarily compact in accordance to the deck play-style and gimmick. to fulfill this you actually need to cut out some cards like the field spell and let the existing card pool do the rest. so combining with my previous advice, streamline the number of cards but make sure the deck wont turn into generic "Toolbox" deck. its kinda tricky process but its worth it

resonating: its slower creature swap which actually not that bad, the GY effect is not bad either

practice: subpar 1st effect conceal by the much better 2nd. to bad its a trap

idolization: this don't really do much other than baiting attack. at least its kinda balance for a card that special summon from deck

redemption: NOW WE TALKING, this is pretty unique and powerful Counter Trap. it can't negate traps but as the meta rarely bring traps unless the staples or part of the engine this card can pull its weight fairly

coordination: damage enhancer and protection all in one package. its decent.

Number: unique use of reminder text. effect-wise its another swarm card with a rather worrying prospect since it summon from deck which can combo of the potent direct attackers you have

resonating voice: NO, just NO. hand banish is to much. and since you don't specify that is a random banish means that player allowed to choose while also peeking opponent cards. that is WAY to much advantage

Lyricist: powerful but arguebly balance IMO for now, 2 good effect that properly limited with Hyper-HOPT.

Lead Actress: another fairly strong card. although this is like the 3rd-ish+ non-destruction effect in this archetype which kinda kill the excitement a bit
