#2 - Rekindling (By Debris)

The FIRE attribute had long been overlooked by Konami, but since then it has a few broken cards that really define what FIRE is, not a slow burn away at your life points, but a small flicker that spreads quickly until it is uncontrollable. With the new Laval theme and a few amazing cards from Flamvells, this deck is going to be very competitive. The shiny one we can actually invest in right now is a broken card called Rekindling.

Rekindling
Normal Spell Card
Special Summon from your Graveyard as many FIRE monsters as possible with 200 DEF. During the End Phase, remove from play all monsters that were Special Summoned by this effect.

If there's one thing we don't need to have a conversation about, it's the question if this card is broken. In fact, it's even more broken after you look at the cards Tender of the Laval Volcano, Sweltering Heat Transmission Field, and there are many other cards in the deck that are amazing as well but don't necessarily combo with Rekindling, such as Laval Cannoneer, Laval the Greater, Blazing Dust Explosion, Flamvell Firedog and Flamvell Counter. Sending your monsters to the Graveyard and then abusing them while they're there is the entire point of the deck. One combo absolutely breaks this card, if you don't know it then here you are:

1.) Activate Sweltering Heat Transmission Field, sending one Laval monster with 200 DEF (Laval Magma Cannoneer or Laval Lancelord) and Tender of the Laval Volcano to the Graveyard

*IMPORTANT NOTE* Do NOT send two Tender of the Laval Volcano to the Graveyard during this step or send TotLV to the Graveyard first. This will cause 1 of the TotLV to miss its timing, ruining your combo *

2.) Use Tender of the Laval Volcano's effect to send another one to the Graveyard

3.) Repeat Step #2.

4.) Repeat Step #2 but since you've used up all your TotLVs, send another 200 DEF Laval (Laval Lancelord or Laval Magma Cannoneer) to the Graveyard.

5.) Activate Rekindling for a full field (this is where you win the game)

At this point you can get a different field based on what your non-TotLVs were.

IF Laval Magma Cannoneer

• 1 Rank 1 Xyz Monster and 1 Rank 4 Xyz Monster
• 1 Level 9 Synchro (and if they ever release a Rank 1 with 2 materials you can get that too)
• 1 Level 5 Synchro and 1 Level 6 Synchro (or 2 Level 5 Synchros, but you want more plusses off that Librarian you summoned)

IF Laval Lancelord

• 1 Level 7 Synchro and 1 Level 8 Synchro (or 2 Level 7 Synchros)
• 1 Rank 1 Xyz Monster (and if they ever release a Rank 6 you can get that too)

So as you can see, Laval Magma Cannoneer opens many new options, but isn't that great outside of the combo. Time will tell which is better.

So now that you know all about these cards, you can see Rekindling's place in the meta. Though originally common, Rekindling also comes as a Turbo Pack HOLO. Not only that, but it's pretty cheap for a Turbo Pack HOLO too! This makes the card very easy to reccomend, as Turbo HOLOS only drop in price due to 1.) the Banlist or 2.) a "Lumina-LC02 Incident".

Buy / Trade for your first Playset at $12 or less, and obtain all others you can find for around $10
This investment is: SAFE, due to its Turbo Pack HOLO status these are easy to recommend as Turbo HOLOs rarely lose price. Just get rid of these before the next banlist comes out due to a very likely chance of being destroyed with a hammer.
