So you have combined Rekindling and Solemn Strike onto one monster but with the Limit to Fire based monsters for a pretty dead Archetype. This card would more than likely be abused by other Fire decks than the intended deck, I'd throw one into Infernoids, to have more control along with the 2 big baddies of the deck.

MY GOODNESS. 

 

Pretty sure this gives Resonator Decks TWO ways to lockdown now (not counting Big Bad Abyss of course.) And also what Dusty said about Infernoids being granted far more versatility with this, but...they already have GiAT (Grass is Always Tastier) now, so...what'd be left to mill from the Dekatrons then? My take? Anything with Red Resonator in it just got a tier jump. 

 

But seriously, #1 contender for best Level 6 Synchro is what we've got here. Fish this up in a Laval or Fire King-modded deck (again, Red Resonator's all you need), summon-well, basically your ENTIRE Graveyard, and either go for MOAR Fragarachs or build into Red Wyvern, Crimson Blader, Vermillion Dragon Mech, the entire Lavalval lineup WAIT A SEC.

 

GO INTO FIRE XYZs. My god Infernal Flame Vixen is basically Rhapsody on steroids. Or Level 6s considering you can just use one Fragarch to bring back another, which means banish-happy Hazy Flame Basiltrice is available.

 

Not even getting into its wondrous lockup abilities as is. Summon two or more of these in Lavalvals-the deck that ALREADY gets back its banished material through Cannon? 

 

Seriously, this card is a shot in the arm to so many good FIRE decks I'm nostalgic for my old Laval deck already.

 

9.6/10, mate.

I haven't really played Lavals/Flamvells, all I've heard is that Flamevell is a pretty bad archetype, and Lavals are mostly known for their Quasar build with Rekindling.

 

Anyway, right of the bat, this card reminds me of "Doomkaiser Dragon/Assault Mode" (speaking of which, he's also FIRE Attribute, maybe you could make some hybrid Zombie/Laval deck), but with an easier summoning condition. Mass summons monsters from your Graveyard, allowing you to go into a multitude of Synchros, and possibly OTK your opponent. As this locks you into FIRE monsters only, this is somewhat rectified, making it less likely to be abused to get more Quasar builds. It's "Solemn Warning/Strike" hybrid effect seems a bit of overkill though, as your Graveyard will likely be jampacked with FIRE monsters, so it's a non-cost if I ever saw one, but it'd be more likely to be fine if it didn't negate Normal Summons too, or if it just negated Summons, but not effects. Which leads me into my biggest problem, neither of its effects are HOPT. So just imagine for a second, you NS "Red Resonator" then SS a Level 3 FIRE monster with 200 DEF from your hand (of which there are 14 possible target), then you go into this, then Special Summon those material, then go into another, SS those material, then go into another, and SS them again, then go into one more, finally get a Level 5 Synchro. So, just from this 2 card combo of some easily searchable, you get 3 walking, talking, "Solemn Strikes/Warnings", each with a 2100 body, another Level 5 Synchro, and finally 10100 LP. That's a first turn wet dream of any Yugioh Solitaire Player. This card's in desperate need of a HOPT for both of its effects so you can't just spam multiples of these out to get 3 "Solemns". Honestly, the only thing that's kind of less than stellar about this card is that it's not a Level 6, as the Level/Rank 6 FIRE Synchros/Xyz monsters are much better than the Level/Rank 5's.

 

PSCT clean-up (Note, this is just giving PSCT to how the card currently functions, I didn't change how the card would function at all):

"When this card is Synchro Summoned: You can target any number of FIRE monsters in your Graveyard with 200 DEF; Special Summon them, but banish them during the End Phase, also you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except FIRE monsters. Once per turn, when a monster would be Summoned, or a monster effect is activated: You can banish 1 FIRE monster with 200 or less DEF from your Graveyard; negate the Summon or activation, and if you do, destroy it."

 

Overall, a nice idea to make them Flamevells/Lavals more relevant, probably a bit too good, but the errors made are easily fixable.

Thanks, all 3 of you, for your reviews. Though, D'Scepter, I think you missed the fact that this guy's Level 5...

 

Also, yeah. HOPT on both effects is in desperate need. Completely missed that, somehow. Thanks leafbladie, my man
