| − | + | True to its name, many "burn" cards feature [[FIRE]] [[Attribute]] or [[Pyro]]-[[Type]] monsters, or otherwise feature fire in general (such as "[[Hinotama]]", "[[Tremendous Fire]]", and "[[Meteor of Destruction]]"). The "[[Trickstar]]" [[archetype]] focuses on effect damage, while many other archetypes have some burn cards, usually to give the archetype on last push in damage, examples include; "[[Updraft]]", "[[Venom Burn]]" and "[[Shadow Toon]]" for "[[Cloudian]]", "[[Venom]]", and "[[Toon]]" Decks respectively. | |

| − | * | + | There are many different methods for building a Burn Deck. The most effective play style often changes depending on the [[Metagame|format]]. Burn Decks can generally be divided into two types: |
| − | + | * Fast, [[FTK]]/[[OTK]] Burn Decks. These tend to focus on a few extremely powerful burn cards together, or using almost all of the user's deck in a single turn. | |
| + | * Slower (perhaps 1000-2400 damage per turn) Burn Decks. These are usually combined with [[Stall Deck|Stall card]]s to protect the user's Life Points (as Burn Decks do not usually run many powerful monsters to defend directly) while chipping away at the opponent. | ||
| − | + | Some cards that can be run in most Burn Decks include; "[[Lava Golem]]", "[[Ring of Destruction]]"/"[[Bad Luck Blast]]", "[[Dimension Wall]]"/"[[Magic Cylinder]]", "[[Secret Barrel]]"/"[[Secret Blast]]" and "[[Just Desserts]]"/"[[Ceasefire]]". | |

| − | + | '''Chain Strike''' or '''Chain Burn''' is a Deck usually designed to win usually by the third turn. This is accomplished by starting a [[chain]] with and continuing until a well-timed "[[Chain Strike]]" can generate enough burn damage to win. These Decks are generally built with very few monsters. | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | Historically, Chain Burn decks aimed to finish off the opponent during their first turn, though modern Chain Burn decks is now geared towards blind second approach, by allowing the opponent to build their board and punish them by using "[[Lava Golem]]" to neutralize their board, and inflict large amount of damage with cards such as "[[Ceasefire]]", "[[Just Desserts]]", "[[Secret Barrel]]", or "[[Secret Blast]]", etc.. | |

| + | The main priorities of this Deck is to stall using cards such as and "[[Swords of Revealing Light]]" to prevent taking battle damage, while slowly inflict damage with cards such as "[[Solar Flare Dragon]]", "[[Stealth Bird]]", "[[Lava Golem]]" and "[[Wave-Motion Cannon]]". One must also include defense against [[Spell]] and [[Trap]] destruction, due to the Deck's reliance on [[Continuous Cards]]. | ||
| − | + | In past formats, cards such as "[[Burden of the Mighty]]", "[[Gravity Bind]]" and "[[Level Limit - Area B]]" were popular choices for stalling, however with the advent of [[Xyz Monster]]s and [[Link Monster]]s they are largely redundant now. | |

| + | === Bubbleman Burn === | ||
| + | The '''Bubbleman Burn Deck''' is a very fast version of the Burn Deck, which uses cards like "[[Elemental HERO Bubbleman]]" and "[[Card of Sanctity]]" to draw [[Normal Spell Card|Normal]] or [[Quick-Play Spell Card]]s which inflict damage. These Decks are made up mostly of one-time burn cards and self-milling cards that go to the [[Graveyard]] after they are used, making "[[Elemental HERO Bubbleman|Bubbleman]]" and "[[Card of Sanctity]]" easier to use. | ||
| − | + | Stall cards are not recommended, since the drawing effect of "Bubbleman" won't trigger if there are cards on the field. Dome people do run [[Normal Trap]]s like "[[Threatening Roar]]" or "[[Magic Cylinder]]" that can be set last, and can be used as back-ups when you are forced to discard. The only Trap card specifically recommended is "[[Magical Explosion]]", which is often used as a finisher in this Deck. | |

| − | == | + | === Reactive Burn Deck === |
| − | + | This deck works around making your opponent pay life points for every action. As your opponents life points start reaching zero, they stop making plays, which forces a few high damage cards to be used like "[[Ceasefire]]"and "[[Just Desserts]]", or continuously damaging cards like "[[Minor Goblin Official]]", "[[Nightmare Wheel]]", or "[[Lava Golem]]". This deck works best adding stalls cards, forcing your opponent to waste most of their efforts destroying either your stall cards or burn cards, hopefully not both. Cards that can stall without completely negating attacks like "[[Ordeal of a Traveler]]", "[[Mirror Force]]", or "[[Waboku]]" over those that completely stop attacks likes "[[Gravity Bind]]" or "[[Swords of Revealing Light]]" to add in the damage from "[[Toll]]". | |

Revision as of 15:51, 16 May 2024
Burn Decks are designed to inflict damage (or burn) to the opponent's Life Points to 0 with cards that effect damage, instead of relying on battle damage and in many cases, Burn Decks do not rely on the Battle Phase at all.
True to its name, many "burn" cards feature FIRE Attribute or Pyro-Type monsters, or otherwise feature fire in general (such as "Hinotama", "Tremendous Fire", and "Meteor of Destruction"). The "Trickstar" archetype focuses on effect damage, while many other archetypes have some burn cards, usually to give the archetype on last push in damage, examples include; "Updraft", "Venom Burn" and "Shadow Toon" for "Cloudian", "Venom", and "Toon" Decks respectively.
Contents
Playing Style
There are many different methods for building a Burn Deck. The most effective play style often changes depending on the format. Burn Decks can generally be divided into two types:
- Fast, FTK/OTK Burn Decks. These tend to focus on a few extremely powerful burn cards together, or using almost all of the user's deck in a single turn.
- Slower (perhaps 1000-2400 damage per turn) Burn Decks. These are usually combined with Stall cards to protect the user's Life Points (as Burn Decks do not usually run many powerful monsters to defend directly) while chipping away at the opponent.
Some cards that can be run in most Burn Decks include; "Lava Golem", "Ring of Destruction"/"Bad Luck Blast", "Dimension Wall"/"Magic Cylinder", "Secret Barrel"/"Secret Blast" and "Just Desserts"/"Ceasefire".
Chain Strike
Chain Strike OTK
Chain Strike or Chain Burn is a Deck usually designed to win usually by the third turn. This is accomplished by starting a chain with and continuing until a well-timed "Chain Strike" can generate enough burn damage to win. These Decks are generally built with very few monsters.
Historically, Chain Burn decks aimed to finish off the opponent during their first turn, though modern Chain Burn decks is now geared towards blind second approach, by allowing the opponent to build their board and punish them by using "Lava Golem" to neutralize their board, and inflict large amount of damage with cards such as "Ceasefire", "Just Desserts", "Secret Barrel", or "Secret Blast", etc..

Chain Strike (non-OTK)
While "Chain Strike" is certainly part of the Deck's strategy it doesn't rely on it completely. Chainable stall cards such as "Threatening Roar" and "Swift Scarecrow" can be used in supplement to more reliable stall cards such as "Marshmallon".
Stall Burn
The main priorities of this Deck is to stall using cards such as and "Swords of Revealing Light" to prevent taking battle damage, while slowly inflict damage with cards such as "Solar Flare Dragon", "Stealth Bird", "Lava Golem" and "Wave-Motion Cannon". One must also include defense against Spell and Trap destruction, due to the Deck's reliance on Continuous Cards.
In past formats, cards such as "Burden of the Mighty", "Gravity Bind" and "Level Limit - Area B" were popular choices for stalling, however with the advent of Xyz Monsters and Link Monsters they are largely redundant now.

Bubbleman Burn
The Bubbleman Burn Deck is a very fast version of the Burn Deck, which uses cards like "Elemental HERO Bubbleman" and "Card of Sanctity" to draw Normal or Quick-Play Spell Cards which inflict damage. These Decks are made up mostly of one-time burn cards and self-milling cards that go to the Graveyard after they are used, making "Bubbleman" and "Card of Sanctity" easier to use.
Stall cards are not recommended, since the drawing effect of "Bubbleman" won't trigger if there are cards on the field. Dome people do run Normal Traps like "Threatening Roar" or "Magic Cylinder" that can be set last, and can be used as back-ups when you are forced to discard. The only Trap card specifically recommended is "Magical Explosion", which is often used as a finisher in this Deck.

Cure-Burn
Not to be confused with: Anti-Cure
This deck uses the effect of "Fire Princess" along with Life Point gaining cards to deal constant effect damage. The Deck is sometimes called a Big Bang Deck, after the Japanese name of "Fire Princess" - "Big Bang Girl". Despite being a burn deck itself, Cure-Burn tends to be quite strong against most other burn decks due to the constant LP gain.

|
Dark Stall Burn
This Deck focuses Special Summoning, and inflicting a large amount of damage using "Dark Room of Nightmare" and "Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua".
For defense, use tokens (can also be used as Synchro fodder) along with cards, such as "Magic Cylinder", "Black-Winged Dragon" and "Stardust Dragon" to disrupt the opponent's attacks, effect damage and destruction respectively.
Exxod Burn
See: sphinx
The main point of the Exxod Burn Deck is to quickly Summon "Exxod, Master of The Guard" and continually use its burn effect.
FIRE Burn
As the name implies FIRE Burn, sometimes called Molten Burn, is a Deck that focuses on dealing damage with FIRE-Attribute, mostly Pyro-Type monsters. This Deck can be played either passively or aggressively.
The more passive variants of the Deck play similar to Stall Burn, using many protective cards and slowly, but consistently, dealing effect damage each turn. See Stall Burn's recommended Spells/Traps. If using only Pyro-Type monsters, "Soul of Fire" & "Firewall" could be considered as methods of effect damage and protection respectively.
The more aggressive variants tend to focus on a higher monster count and dealing damage through monster effects, often including the destruction of their own monsters, then dealing damage with the monster's on destruction effects in combination with the Continuous Trap Cards "Backfire" and "Kickfire".
Herald Cannon Burn
This Deck focuses in restricting the opponent with "Herald of Perfection" and inflicting effect damage using "Wave-Motion Cannon".

Reactive Burn Deck
This deck works around making your opponent pay life points for every action. As your opponents life points start reaching zero, they stop making plays, which forces a few high damage cards to be used like "Ceasefire"and "Just Desserts", or continuously damaging cards like "Minor Goblin Official", "Nightmare Wheel", or "Lava Golem". This deck works best adding stalls cards, forcing your opponent to waste most of their efforts destroying either your stall cards or burn cards, hopefully not both. Cards that can stall without completely negating attacks like "Ordeal of a Traveler", "Mirror Force", or "Waboku" over those that completely stop attacks likes "Gravity Bind" or "Swords of Revealing Light" to add in the damage from "Toll".
Reactor Burn
This Deck revolves around the three "Reactor" monsters, working to Special Summon "Flying Fortress SKY FIRE" while dealing damage to your opponent until you can.

Timelord Burn

Weaknesses
Burn Decks are infamous and generally disliked by many players as most Burn Decks play solitaire and can be rather difficult to play against and defeat when a player is not prepared for it. Despite this, in general, it is considered one of the easiest Decks to Side against. This results in Burn Decks having more success in single Duels, opposed to Matches and, by extension, tournaments.
- One of the most effective methods for beating a Burn Deck is good access to Spell/Trap removal, such as "Twin Twisters" or "Galaxy Cyclone". Many Burn Decks rely on a large number of Continuous Effects, either to prevent taking battle damage and/or deal effect damage constantly. A Burn Deck must therefore contain plenty of Counter Traps, such as; "Solemn Judgment", "Dark Bribe", "Judgment of Anubis" (stops destruction-based removed), and "Seven Tools of the Bandit".
- Dragon Decks can use "Prime Material Dragon" (ineffective against anti-cure Burn Decks) to change LP damage caused to increase their LP instead. To counter this card tribute it for a "Kaiju" monster, "Lava Golem" or "Volcanic Queen", destroy it with "Divine Wrath".
- Since many burn cards are minus 1s, Burn Decks can quickly deplete the player of cards. If the player can defeat the opponent quickly this won't matter, but should the opponent manage to stall (either by regaining LP, negating effects or reducing effect damage) it can quickly leave the Burn player out of resources.
- There are some cards that punish a player for using effect damage, such as; "Barrel Behind the Door", "Crimson Fire", and "Shining Silver Force.
