That "boost" part in the first section needs to be relocated, but I don't know where to move it.

'''Infernity''', a portmanteau of the words "Infernal" and "Infinity", are all [[DARK]] monster cards with effects activated when a player has no cards in their [[hand]]. This archetype resembles much of the wild west, with cards such as "[[Infernity Archfiend]]", "[[Infernity Necromancer]]", and "[[Infernity Mirage]]" alluding to the native Americans while cards like "[[Infernity Avenger]]", "[[Infernity Randomizer]]", and "[[Infernity Launcher]]" (whose original Japanese name was "Infernity Gun") relate to the cowboys. This [[archetype ]] was used by [[Kalin Kessler]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''.In episodes 33, 34, and 35 in the English version of [[''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', these Infernity [[Monster]]s, [[Spell]]s and/or [[Trap]]s were known the archetype was referred to as '''Infernalty'''.
The first "Infernity " cards were released as promotional cards in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2009: Stardust Accelerator|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Stardust Accelerator]]'': "[[Infernity Archfiend]]", "[[Infernity Dwarf]]", and "[[Infernity Guardian]]". "[[Infernity Destroyer]]" was released in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Stardust Accelerator - World Championship 2009 Game Guide]] '' in Japan.
The first "Infernity" card released in a booster pack was "[[Infernity Beast]]" in [[Ancient Prophecy]]. Two additional "Infernity" cards soon followed with the release of [[Stardust Overdrive]]: "[[Infernity Necromancer]]" and the first "Infernity" Trap Card "[[Infernity Force]]". With the release of [[The Shining Darkness]], fifteen more cards were added to the "Infernity" archetype for further support. [[The Shining Darkness]] also includes an "Infernity" Synchro Monster known as "[[Infernity Doom Dragon]]". ''[[Photon Shockwave]] '' introduced a new monster, "[[Infernity Knight]]". Recently, Infernities The "Infernity" archetype got major boosts, in the form of "[[Leviair the Sea Dragon]] " (''[[Generation Force]]''), which is used to bring back "[[Infernity Mirage]] " from the banished zone[[Banished Zone]], creating an a potential OTK, ; "[[Lavalval Chain]] " which fills the graveyard Graveyard and puts "[[Infernity Archfiend]] " at the top of the deck, Deck; and their new boss monster , "[[Void Ogre Dragon]]", which protects the deck from the threat of cards like "[[Heavy Storm]] " and "[[Dark Hole]]".
==Playing style==
As the monster's Effects imply this deck is focused on having no hand. Using [[discard]]ing effects, such as "[[Raigeki Break]]" and "[[Phoenix Wing Wind Blast]]" is the fastest way to empty your hand while setting up your Graveyard for cards like "[[Infernity Archfiend]]" and "[[Infernity Avenger]]".
You can add "[[Fabled]]" cards to an "Infernity" deckDeck. Notable cards are "[[Fabled Raven]]" (a Level 2, 1300 ATK [[Tunermonster]] monster which lets you discard any number of cards to increase its Level by 1, and its ATK by 400 for each card). This lets you empty your hand to have a high Level, powerful [[Tuner]] monster. "[[Fabled Soulkius]]" (a Level 6, 2200 ATK monster lets you send two cards to the Graveyard to Special Summon it from the [[Graveyard]], fitting perfectly into the themes of the "Infernity" cards. On top of that, the "[[Fabled]]" are all [[LIGHT]] monsters, while the "Infernity" cards are all [[DARK]] monsters so "[[Chaos Sorcerer]]" or [[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning]] can be splashed into this deck and you can use "[[Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End]]" in [[Traditional Format]].
As of [[The Shining Darkness]] release, the "Infernity" archetype has become much more [[Graveyard]] based. Both "[[Infernity Mirage]]" and "[[Infernity Launcher]]" can quickly and effectively Special Summon your monsters from your Graveyard. Because the most common way of emptying your hand is discarding you'll have plenty of "Infernities" in your Graveyard to Special Summon. "[[Infernity Avenger]]" can also Special Summon itself and become one of the only Level 5+ tuners. Because of new Graveyard tactics, the "Infernity" have become less and less reliant of top decking, turning this rather risky deck type into a much more consistent deck type.
