=== Breakdown ==="Infernoids" are potentially a very fast and offensive Deck. They are usually able to set up quickly with few cards and can unleash a barrage of powerful attackers, in a way similar to "[[Dragon Ruler]]s". The veritable boss-monsters of the deck feature mass-removal effects, strong stats, and the ability to negate card effects. Although their Summoning costs and conditions seem steep at first, when played skillfully, their utility can usually overcome the loss in card advantage. "Infernoids" can even on rare occasions perform OTKs by Summoning certain monsters in sequence. 

The Level 4 and lower "Infernoid" monsters can only be Special Summoned from the hand, and have effects that deal with removing individual cards on the field, by simply . The members of the archetype are "[[Infernoid Harmadik|destroying]] " (destroys monsters), "[[Infernoid Patrulea|them]] or by returning them to the " (destroys Spells/Traps), "[[Infernoid Antra|hand]] " (returns face-up cards to the hand), or "[[Infernoid Pirmais|Deck]]" (shuffles face-down cards into the deck). Also, during the opponent's turn, they all can Tribute a monster in order to banish any card in the opponent's Graveyard.

The Level 5 to 8 "Infernoid" monsters can be Special Summoned from either the hand or Graveyard and have offensive effects that activate when they battle a monster, allowing them to attack : [[Infernoid Attondel|]]" is allowed to attack a second time in a row]], "[[Infernoid Piaty|disrupt]] " disrupts the opponent's hand or banish , "[[Infernoid Seitsemas]]" banishes any card on the field and [[Infernoid Seitsemas|FieldSjette]] or banishes cards from the opponent's [[Infernoid Sjette|Extra Deck]]. Like the smaller "Infernoids", their secondary effects also allow the player to banish any one card from the opponent's Graveyard at the cost of Tributing a monster, but can be activated during either player's turn. During your turn, this can be used defensively to dodge effects or strategically to lower the combined Levels of monsters you control, allowing you to continue summoning more "Infernoids".

=== In addition to strong, easily-Summoned attackers, they can put constant pressure on the opponent when set up. By using removal effects, defensive effects, and by constantly Summoning monsters, the opponent is forced to lose or consume their resources from the field and hand. The "Infernoids" must suffer losses in order to work effectively, but the opponent will usually suffer even greater ones. To reinforce this strength, "Infernoids" can also tribute monsters to banish cards from the opponent's Graveyard. This ability gives them a way to escape effects, strategize, and to cut the opponent off from resources at a crucial moment. Coupled with cards like "Void Vanishment", this allows "Infernoids" to control the game in a way akin to [[Anti-Meta]] Decks.  With the addition of the searchable "VoidImagination", the archetype also has a card that can singularly inhibit the opponent—sometimes psyching them out into playing more slowly by not summoning Extra Deck monsters. Even if the opponent isn't intimidated by the presence of the card and summons anyway, the card can allow for swarming. This can in turn facilitate the deck's own Extra Deck Summoning capability. The effect of "[[Infernoid Tierra]]" can also be used to potentially send three copies of "[[Elder Entity N'tss]]" support ===from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard and result in the destruction of three of the opponent's cards or forcing them to waste resources by chaining their set cards earlier than planned. Because "Infernoids" need a steady supply of their brethren to banish for their summoning requirements, their themed "[[Void]]" support generally gravitates toward keeping the Graveyard stocked with "Infernoids". Other than that, the "[[Void]]" cards have various disruptive and defensive effects that allow for a [[Control]] playing style.

* "[[Tour Guide From the Underworld]]" can immensely help the deck by making "[[Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss]]" with the Level 3 Fiend monster she Special Summons (usually "[[Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss]] " or "[[Fiendish Rhino Warrior]]"), milling 3 cards and using the Graveyard effects of the aformentioned two monsters. "Scarm" can search another Level 3 Fiend-Type monster other than itself during the End Phase, such as "[[Infernoid Harmadik]]", while "Fiendish Rhino Warrior" can send any other Fiend-Type monster from your Deck to the GY, usually any "Infernoid" monster.

* [[Non-Effect Monster]]s: Since only the Levels/Ranks Due to their relative lack of Effect monsters count towards the Special Summon condition of the "Infernoids", it may be possible to fit non-Effect monsters focus on the Extra Deck, such as the "[[Gem-Knight Pearl]]", Infernoid"play style is relatively unaffected by [[Scrap Archfiend]]", "[[Gaia Knight, the Force of EarthMaster Rules#New Master Rules|Gaia Knight, the Force of the EarthMaster Rule 4]]". If anything, etc. * Certain "[[Lightsworn]]" monsters, particularly Infernoid"decks benefit from it as [[Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress|LylaLink Monster]]" and "[[Raidens do not have Levels or Ranks, Hand making the restriction of the Lightsworn|Raiden]]", can be helpful beyond their ability to mill cards. Infernoid"Lyla" can be used to destroy [[floodgate]]s that would normally cripple this Deck (i.e. "[[Vanitymonsters's Emptiness]]"summoning conditions less of an issue than Fusion, "[[Lose 1 Turn]]"Synchro, "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]"). "Raiden" can mill cards during your Main Phase and is a Level 4 [[Tuner monster|Tuner]], enabling you to mill 2 cards before using it for a [[Synchro Summon]] or to Summon a Rank 4 [[Xyz Monster]]s. Additionally, they can be searched for with "[[Charge of the Light Brigade]]"Summoning does.

If anything, "Infernoid" decks benefit from it as [[Link Monster]]s do not have Levels or Ranks, making the restriction of the "Infernoid" monsters' summoning conditions less of an issue than Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Summoning does. === Weaknesses ===* The biggest way to counter [[Infernoid|"Infernoids]] " is to cut them off from banishing resources. They must banish cards from their hand or Graveyard in order to Special Summon themselves; cards that prevent banishing such as "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]", "[[Chaos Hunter]]", "[[Necrovalley]]", etc. can prevent "Infernoid" players from being able to banish cards, effectively preventing them from being able to Summon at all. This also cuts them off from additional support such as "[[Peropero Cerperus]]", "[[Galaxy Cyclone]]" and "[[Breakthrough Skill]]".  * Cards that banish outright or that punish milling are also effective, such as "[[Masked HERO Dark Law]]", "[[Macro Cosmos]]", "[[Dimensional Fissure]]", or "[[Earthshattering Event]]". * Cutting them off from Special Summoning by means of the "[[Djinn Releaser of Rituals|Djinn]] Lock" (currently Forbidden in the TCG), "[[Vanity's Emptiness]]" (also Forbidden in the TCG) or "[[Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo]]" can also shut down "Infernoids", since they cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. This forces "Infernoids" to rely on the very few monsters in their Deck they can Normal Summon/Set until they can get rid of the floodgate, forcing them to play slower and more defensively until they can remove it from the field. * Due to the low Trap Card count and occasional reliance on Spell Cards, cards that negate Spells such as "[[Imperial Order]]" can also slow down an "Infernoid" player. In addition* Additionally, due to the large number of high level monsters in this deck, "[[Evilswarm Ophion]]" can prove to be an extremely bothersome monster (if one is able to Summon it).
