ARC-V The Strongest Duelist Yuya!!]] }} "'''Igknight'''" (イグナイト ''Igunaito'') is an archetype of [[FIRE]] [[Warrior]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] which debuted in ''[[Clash of Rebellions]]''. They were used by [[Shuto Go]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V The Strongest Duelist Yuya!!]] manga. With the exception of [[Igknight Lancer|"Lancer"]] and [[Igknight Champion|"Champion"]] (Level 7 and 8 [[Effect Monster]]s, respectively), each "Igknight" monster is a [[Normal Pendulum Monster]], with a [[Pendulum Scale]] of either 2 ("[[Igknight Gallant|Gallant]]", "[[Igknight Cavalier|Cavalier]]", "[[Igknight Crusader|Crusader]]", and "[[Igknight Paladin|Paladin]]") or 7 ("[[Igknight Templar|Templar]]", "[[Igknight Squire|Squire]]", "[[Igknight Veteran|Veteran]]", and "[[Igknight Margrave|Margrave]]"). This archetype is connected to the "[[Majespecter]]s" and "[[Dinomist]]s" through the "[[Dracoslayer]]" archetype: they are full-Pendulum archetypes containing a "Dracoslayer" monster (which appears to be a merging of one of its archetype members with another mystic creature) and Field Spell Cards portraying the surging of those monsters. The "Dracoslayer" monsters and Field Spell Card contain a word with "P", written as "P" with a Furigana, just like how "Pendulum" is written "P" with the Furigana "Pendyuramu". While the "Dinomist" archetype consists of Effect monsters with Pendulum effects and the "Majespecter" archetype consists of Effect monsters with no Pendulum effects, the "Igknight" archetype consists of Normal monsters (no effects) that all have Pendulum effects. Three monsters representing the non-"Luster Pendulum" half of the "Dracoslayer" monsters were released in ''[[Darkwing Blast]]'', as well. == Design == === Appearance === The original six Pendulum "Igknights" are entirely 1 specific color from the color wheel: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. For all 3 of the warm colors ("Margrave", "Templar" and "Squire"), the corresponding "Igknights" are the higher scale (7), which is usually paired with the red scale, which is also a warm color. The same can be said for the 3 cool colors ("Gallant", "Crusader" and "Paladin"). They are all the lower scale (2), which is usually paired with the blue scale, a cool color. "Cavalier" breaks this pattern, being a Scale 2 (blue) Pendulum with a warm color (pink). As well is "Veteran", being a Scale 7 (red) Pendulum with a cool color (light blue). === Etymology === The name "Igknight" is a pun on the words "ignite" and "knight". In the ''OCG'', the majority of the archetype's members are named for various makes and models of guns and ammunition, and wield gunblades inspired by said guns with various types of blade attachments. In the ''TCG'', these names were changed to place more emphasis on the "knight" part of the name, rather than "ignite", by naming the members after medieval military positions (or other terms related to chivalric ideas). {| class="wikitable" |- ! colspan="2" scope="col" | Name ! rowspan="2" scope="col" | Color ! rowspan="2" scope="col" | Scale ! rowspan="2" scope="col" | Level ! colspan="2" scope="col" | Origin |- ! scope="col" | ''TCG'' ! scope="col" | ''OCG'' ! scope="col" | ''TCG'' ! scope="col" | ''OCG'' |- | [[Igknight Crusader|Crusader]] || Eagle || Blue || 2 || 3 || [[wikipedia:Crusades|Crusader]] || [[wikipedia:IMI Desert Eagle|IMI Desert Eagle]] |- | [[Igknight Paladin|Paladin]] || Musket || Purple || 2 || 4 || [[wikipedia:Paladin|Paladin]] || [[wikipedia:Musket|Musket]] |- | [[Igknight Cavalier|Cavalier]] || Derringer || Pink || 2 || 5 || [[wikipedia:Cavalier|Cavalier]] || [[wikipedia:Derringer|Derringer]] |- | [[Igknight Gallant|Gallant]] || Caliber || Green || 2 || 6 || a Gallant (''n.''

All "Igknight" Pendulum Monsters have the exact same Pendulum Effect: "''If you have an "Igknight" card in your other Pendulum Zone: You can destroy all cards in your Pendulum Zones, and if you do, add 1 FIRE Warrior-Type monster from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand.''" This effect also serves to search and recycle their main offensive Effect Monsters, "Igknight Lancer" and "Igknight Champion." The two then allow the player to return other "Igknight" monsters to the hand, allowing them to be set in the Pendulum Zones to summon the previously destroyed "Igknight" monsters back to the field. The archetype has limited Spell and Trap support, but they further allow the player to freely destroy "Igknight" cards to swarm the field and/or allow the player to get the needed monsters for a Pendulum Summon. The archetype as a whole is unusual for the current metagame, as it is one of the first archetypes for which almost every major monster card is a [[Normal Monster]] (by comparison, past archetypes such as "[[Hieratic]]", "[[Ojama]]" or "[[Qli]]"– all of which featured Normal Monsters prominently– mostly relied on Effect Monsters while manipulating the Normal Monsters as [[Material]] or [[Support]]). However, in exchange for their lack of effects, "Igknights" enjoy an extremely bountiful assortment of external support. As they are also Warrior Normal Monsters, every Pendulum Monster in the archetype is searchable with either "[[Reinforcement of the Army]]" or "[[Summoner's Art]]". Pure "Igknight" Decks can use "[[Skill Drain]]" with minor repercussions. In addition, they also can access "[[Pot of Riches]]", "[[Heart of the Underdog]]" (along with Trap Cards activated in your Draw Phase, like "[[Common Charity]]", "[[Jar of Greed]]" and "[[Legacy of Yata-Garasu]]") for draw power– giving these decks unusually strong consistency. "[[Non-Spellcasting Area]]", "[[Tyrant's Throes]]" and "[[First of the Dragons]]" can also be mixed in as extra Normal Monster support. In addition, since their effects allow them to search ''any'' [[FIRE]] Warrior monsters, they open themselves up to other useful offensive support, such as "[[Blue Flame Swordsman]]", "[[Command Knight]]", "[[Valkyrian Knight]]" and "[[Ultimate Baseball Kid]]". By the same token, "[[Spiritual Fire Art - Kurenai]]" makes viable support together with the re-summonable Pendulum "Igknights" for easy [[effect damage]]. Additionally, the "Igknights" have access to a variety of [[Extra Deck]] monsters. Being Normal Monsters, they can be used as Material to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[First of the Dragons]]", while using "[[Elemental HERO Blazeman]]". "Blazeman" itself being a "[[HERO]]" monster, along with the Deck being largely comprised of FIRE monsters allows for access to "[[Elemental HERO Nova Master]]". They can also be used for [[Synchro Summon]]s using [[Tuner monster]]s that have high synergy with them, such as "[[Galaxy Serpent]]" for being a Normal Monster, or "[[Rose, Warrior of Revenge]]", yet another FIRE Warrior-Type monster. This can also help them summon "[[Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon]]", who can [[Special Summon]] Normal Monsters from your Graveyard. Even though all "Igknight" Normal Monsters are Pendulum Monsters, and thus rarely go the Graveyard, you can still use them as [[Xyz Material]]s, which would make them go to the Graveyard. Having multiple Levels, they can [[Xyz Summon]] all sorts of [[Xyz Monster]]s from Ranks 3 to 6, including powerful ones that require specific Xyz Materials, such as "[[Heroic Champion - Excalibur]]", "[[Blade Armor Ninja]]", "[[Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Lion Emperor]]" and "[[Hazy Flame Basiltrice]]". ===Recommended cards=== {{Decklist|Recommended cards <!--This is not an exact Decklist.
