Edventure Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 I was honestly mostly dissatisfied with the Laval Support other than Salamander and Archer the deck still lacked Power and meaningful effects that could actually hold presence on the board. So here I am offering something more.Laval Blademaster 4* FIRE Warrior/Effect ATK 1800/ DEF 200 If this card is normal summoned you can add 1 "Molten Conduction Field" from your deck to your hand. If this card is Special Summoned you can add 1 "Laval" monster from your deck to your hand. You can only use one effect of "Laval Blademaster" per turn. Laval Firebird 2* FIRE ATK 400/ DEF 400 Winged Beast/Effect You can only control 1 "Laval Firebird". If this card is banished or if this card is sent to the GY by the effect of a "Laval" card you can Special Summon this card, but shuffle it into the deck when it leaves the field. Once per turn you can increase or decrease this cards level by or up to the number of "Laval" monsters you control but you can only use this card for the synchro summon of a FIRE monster for the rest of this turn. You can only use this effect of "Laval Firebird" once per turn. Lavalval Phoenix 6* FIRE Winged Beast/Synchro/Effect ATK 1200 / DEF 2500 1 "Laval" tuner + 1 or more non-tuner FIRE monsters If this card is sent to the GY and you have 3 or more Laval monsters with different names in your GY; you can banish this card. During the standby phase of the next turn after this card is banish you can special summon this card in face-up attack position. (Quick Effect); If your opponent activates a monster effect you can send this card to the GY and negate the activate of that monsters effect and if you do destroy that monster. You can only use this effect of "Lavalval Phoenix" once per turn. Lavalval Blademaster of the Prominence Flame 9* FIRE Warrior/Synchro/Effect ATK 2800 /DEF 2500 2 "Laval" Tuners + 1 or more FIRE Monsters FIRE monsters you control gain 300ATK for each "Laval" tuner monster in your GY with a different name. (Quick Effect); If you have 4 or more "Laval" monsters with different names in your GY; you can banish 1 FIRE monster in your GY and banish 1 card your opponent controls. You can only control 1 "Blademaster of the Prominence Flame". If this card is sent to the GY by an opponent card you can Special summon 2 of your banished "Laval" monsters.Molten Insulation Field Spell/Normal Return 3 Laval monsters that are either banished or in your GY to your deck and draw 1 card. If a FIRE monster(s) would be destroyed by battle or by card effect you can banish this card from your GY instead. You can only use this effect of "Molten Insulation Field" once per turn.

WhiteThunder777 Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Lavals are very slow as of right now, so they deserve support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerer Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 These are great! Lavals tend to have an extremely long start-up time because they don't really have good starting plays (like, seriously why is their best Normal Summon Neo Flamvell Lady rather than an actual Laval monster??). Blademaster is great as an enabler and it also makes a pretty good extender off of Rekindling. Firebird is alright. It's a free extender that cycles off the Laval's best cards. I'd like to suggest a tiny bit of extra utility though: maybe let it increase or decrease its Level by 1. It would give the deck an enormous amount of flexibility with its Synchro plays. The Synchros are good. I'm a little surprised to see the Gottoms summon condition (i.e. "+ 1+ FIRE Monsters" means you can just use Tuners to summon it; you don't need FIRE non-Tuners). I don't really have much to say about 'em though. They work well. Insulation Field is another cycle card. Between it, Firebird's self-cycle, and Lakeside Lady's banish effect, I'm not actually sure how often you'll have enough Lavals in the GY to use the card's draw effect. If you do want to keep its cycle ability, maybe it should also be able to cycle back banished Lavals as well. On the other hand, I think the GY effect is really solid; that free protection can often be a real lifesaver. All in all, I think these are well thought-out and really push the archetype into a more modern age. Nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In agreeance with your statements about Firebird and Insulation Field, I made some changes: Insulation can now shuffle banished monsters as well. Laval Firebird is a delicate card but I do want it to be very useful so this card has the biggest change. It can now Increase or Decrease its level by or up to the amount of Laval monsters you control. In other words if you have just Firebird he can only increase his level by 1 but if you have something like Firebird and Blademaster on the board he can increase his level by 1 or by 2. To further balance this card if the effect to increase its level is used you can only Synchro summon FIRE monsters with this card until the end of the turn. To ensure the restriction isnt to horrible on him I removed his once per turn on his self special summon making him a little more abusable with Lavalval Dragun. The only issue I see here is that Molten Conduction Field can essentially give you 2 free Firebirds on the board and even a third if you have 2 Conduction Fields in your hand. Which essentially makes him the strongest tuner in yugioh since he has the right cards to support him. Once again with that in mind you can only control 1 Firebird at a time this way he can still be abused just enough to extend your plays but not enough to give you an instant Link 4 Apollousa on your board. I hope these changes are satisfying! Finally I made a small change to Lavalval Phoenix having the Gottoms summon condition which was unintentional, Lavalval Blademaster however remains the same! Thank you for your review I appreciate your honest analysis of my ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
