Changes

Another handy Xyz monster is "[[Lavalval Chain]]". Its effect can place "[[Infernity Archfiend]]" on top of your deck, which can lead to its Special Summon on the following turn if your hand is empty. While it is on the weaker side in terms of ATK and DEF, if "[[Lavalval Chain]]" manages to survive into a second turn, it can use its other effect to set up your Graveyard with whatever "[[Infernity Archfiend]]" searched out.

Lastly, "[[Void Ogre Dragon]]" and "[[Beelze, King of Dark Dragons]]" are welcome additions to the "Infernity" arsenal of Level 8 Synchro monsters, having great synergy with the deck and able to fend off threats such as "[[Dark Hole]]" and most common defensive traps.

==Play Style==

With the release of [[The Shining Darkness]], the "Infernity" archetype's strategy became Graveyard-centric. Because the most common way of emptying the hand is through discarding effects, the Graveyard should load up very quickly with "Infernities" to Special Summon with the effects of "[[Infernity Mirage]]", "[[Infernity Necromancer]]" and "[[Infernity Launcher]]". As a bonus, "[[Infernity Avenger]]" can Special Summon itself from the Graveyard in response to the destruction of an "Infernity," maintaining field advantage while also potentially returning as a level 3+ Tuner.

Note, it's best to avoid cards like "[[Full Salvo]]", "[[Fine]]", and "[[Rope of Life]]", because although they empty the hand, they typically don't generate more than momentary advantage. An "Infernity" player should always plan for the long-term.

"[[Infernity Mirage]]" can Tribute itself to Special Summon two more "Infernity" monsters from the Graveyard, for yet another Synchro Monster or an Xyz, if need be.

== Strengths ==

== Weaknesses ==

"Infernities", despite their enormous Synchro Summoning and Xyz Summoning ability, have a number of crucial weaknesses. Cards that banish, negate effects or stop your options, like "[[Macro Cosmos]]," "[[Dimensional Fissure]]," "[[Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror]]", "[[Necrovalley]]", "[[Royal Decree]]", "[[Rivalry of Warlords]]" and "[[Skill Drain]]," are major threats. These shortcomings can be combated with side-decked copies of "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]", "[[Burial from a Different Dimension]]", and "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" or "[[Twister]]". Most of these threats can be dealt with quickly by using "[[Diamond Dire Wolf]]", however it is a bit of a double-edged sword, as you now lose your monster and had to change your play to your disadvantage even though you got rid of a problematic card.

Without a strong [[Extra Deck]], "Infernities" are a fairly weak archetype, with their most powerful non-Synchro card being "[[Infernity General]]," sporting 2700 ATK. Furthermore, the deck's dependency on an empty hand is a weakness in itself. Field-wipers like "[[Judgment Dragon]]" or "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" can seriously cripple the deck if a player decides to set his or her entire hand in order to gain access to "Infernity" effects. "[[Infernity Guardian]]" could be a life-saver in such a situation.

If included, a balance between "[[Armageddon Knight]]" and "[[Dark Grepher]]" as opposed to just "[[Dark Grepher]]" is preferred, as "Infernity" Decks tend to have a lower monster-to-Spells/Traps ratio than most Decks, rendering "[[Dark Grepher]]'s" discard unwieldy.

With the release of "[[Lavalval Chain]]", the "[[Infernity]]" Synchro deck now has much more consistency. It allows for more consistent Synchro Summoning and faster Graveyard set-up, without having to use slow and inconsistent cards such as "[[Infernity Inferno]]", "[[Wave-Motion Inferno]]", "[[Dark Eruption]]", "[[Into the Void]]", and "[[Phantom Hand]]" by instead using cards such as "[[Summoner Monk]]", "[[Instant Fusion]]" and "[[Transmodify]]".

This Deck attempts to [[Xyz Summon]] "[[Lavalval Chain]]" as soon as possible through the use of cards like "[[Stygian Street Patrol]]", "[[Instant Fusion]]" and "[[Summoner Monk]]". By using "Chain", you can draw into "[[Infernity Archfiend]]" every turn, allowing him to search out the Deck's key trap cards, "[[Infernity Break]]" and "[[Infernity Barrier]]". These traps negate or destroy your opponent's cards, giving the "Infernity" Deck more of a [[Stun]] feel than ever before.

"[[Master Key Beetle]]" is a very useful Xyz monster in this deck. If you have the option to Xyz summon a second Xyz monster after "[[Lavalval Chain]]", "[[Master Key Beetle]]" can send another "[[Infernity Archfiend]]" to the graveyard while also allowing you to protect your "[[Infernity Barrier]]"s from "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]", a card often used to pick off your "[[Infernity Barrier]]"s.
