The Fire King cards

Fire King is a Yu-Gi-Oh! archetype revolving around destruction by card effects, both as a way to disrupt your opponent, and as a way to generate card advantage. By using destruction effects properly, you're able to get your own cards into rotation while also setting up interruption for your opponent.

At the time of writing, there are 18 Fire King cards in the TCG (and 2 lore-related cards we'll touch on briefly). We'll go through each one, explaining why each card is played or not, and things you should know about each of them. The goal is to help you understand their role in the Fire King strategy, so you can make your own decisions when building your deck.

We'll provide recommended ratios, but feel free to deviate from them if you think they aren't right for you. More competitively-oriented players might end up with a deck that follows most of the provided ratios, but there is always room for personal preference, so try to experiment and find your own style.
