Flame Swordsman (
While "Dark Flare Knight", the first card to ever mention "Flame Swordsman", was released all the way back in Power of the Guardian/Dark Revelation Volume 1, the first cards with effects that rely on cards that mention "Flame Swordsman" were not released until more than 20 years later in Maze of Millennia.
Design
The various variants of "Flame Swordsman" generally depict the eponymous blade-wielder and his burning blade, wearing his iconic blue-and-crimson fantasy-themed garb. The different Monster Cards nonetheless depict the swordsman with different physical frames, styles of ornamentation on his clothes, and wielding his weapon in different ways. A common trait amongst most of the members is that their head gear covers their eyes, based on the anime depiction of the original "Flame Swordsman". Beyond the original "Flame Swordsman", the only ones lacking this trait are "Ferocious Flame Swordsman" and "Fighting Flame Swordsman".
Playing style
"Flame Swordsman" as a theme heavily focuses on Equip Cards as well as easily Special Summoning its Fusion Monsters. Through the effect of "Flame Swordsrealm", one may send a monster from the hand or field to the GY to Special Summon the titular Fusion Monster to the field. From there, the deck utilizes Equip Cards that reference the iconic Equip Spell Card "Salamandra" with a shared effect of gaining 700 ATK with a handful of cards allowing for the immediate Special Summon of the new boss monster of the theme, "Ultimate Flame Swordsman", with its effect to disrupt the opponent and double its ATK for the turn at the cost of destroying itself at the end of the turn. With this, the theme's playing style heavily supports summoning "Ultimate Flame Swordsman" and loading it with Equip Cards to immediately OTK the opponent
With the support revolving around FIRE Warrior monsters, the deck is able to benefit from the inclusion of several different tech cards as well as themes to include; such as the "Infernoble Knight" archetype to list an example.
