Burn Deck

From Yu-Gi-Oh!

The Burn Deck is a deck which is designed to win by overwhelming opponents with waves of Spell Cards that inflict Direct Damage. These Decks are usually slow and can be combined with Stall Decks to minimize inflicted damage. Because the Burn Deck is slow, your opponent may have opportunities to attack your life points. To prevent this, you may need to put in some cards such as "Scapegoat" or another card to stall your opponent and to defend your life points. A newer version of burn is the "Chain Strike burn OTK" which is amazingly fast, and is designed to win by the first to third turn. This is usually done by starting a "chain" starting with something like Ojama Trio then continuing with something such as Just Desserts and/or Secret Barrel and ending with Chain Strike.

Other cards that can be used to great effect are:

• Lava Golem
• Volcanic Queen
• Des Koala
• Stealth Bird
• Giant Germ
• Minor Goblin Official
• Phantom Beast Rock-Lizard
• Solar Flare Dragon
• Wave-Motion Cannon
• Misfortune
• Meteor of Destruction
• Poison of the Old Man
• Chain Strike
• Dark Room of Nightmare
• Secret Barrel
• Just Desserts
• Ceasefire
• Nightmare Wheel
• Cemetery Bomb

In order to protect yourself you may need some form of Stall to stop monster attacks. These stall cards usually consist of:

• Marshmallon
• Spirit Reaper
• Level Limit - Area B
• Messenger of Peace
• Swords of Revealing Light
• Scapegoat
• Ojama Trio
• Dimension Wall
• Magic Cylinder
• Gravity Bind
• Wall of Revealing Light

[edit] Anti-Heal

The Anti Heal is a risky but fun deck that focuses in healing the opponent then making that a lot of damage. Main drawback it requires Nurse Reficule the Fallen One or Bad Reaction to Simochi. So ensure you use searcher cards like A Cat of Ill Omen and returners like Spear Cretin. Gift Card and Burning Algae are also an essential card in this type of deck.

[edit] 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 Spell Cards that go to the Graveyard after they are used, making Elemental Hero Bubbleman and Card of Sanctity more playable.

[edit] Raging Flame Sprite Burn

An effective way to burn your opponent quickly is to use Raging Flame Sprite. Although Raging Flame Sprite isn't good by itself, you will have to combine it with Level Limit - Area B, Ordeal of a Traveler, and Minor Goblin Official to destroy your opponent quickly. To prevent your opponent from destroying your trap and magic cards, you should also have Trap Jammer and Magic Jammer face-down on the field to counter your opponent's magic and trap cards.

However, you cannot depend on drawing a Raging Flame Sprite on your first turn, so you may need three copies. You may also need three copies of UFO Turtle to help you put a Raging Flame Sprite onto the field.

[edit] Weaknesses

Improperly-made Burn Decks (usually by new players or players attempting to copy someone) are made almost completely defunct by Prime Material Dragon, as all Life Point damage will turn to gain. This is to the exception of being in the presence of Nurse Reficule the Fallen One or Bad Reaction to Simochi, which supersede any Life Gain effect and still inflict damage as well as prevent a continuous loop. Also, smart or more creative Duelists will adjust and use various tactics to beat obvious weaknesses anyway, such cards as Lava Golem, Volcanic Queen, or even Soul Exchange which make cards such as Prime Material Dragon a non-issue. Ironically, Prime Material Dragon is considered a new staple in Fire Princess Burn decks.
