Fire King Avatar Garunix

Level 3 FIRE Winged Beast

If a face-up "Fire King" monster(s) you control is destroyed by card effect (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon this card from your hand.

If this card in your possession is destroyed by an opponent's card and sent to your GY: You can Special Summon 1 "Fire King Avatar" monster from your Deck.

ATK 700 | DEF 1700


The younger form of Fire King High Avatar Garunix.

Once again, because of the Green Baboon ruling, it will compete for attention with other Fire Kings that share a similar effect. Thus, you will often choose to summon another monster, causing Avatar Garunix to just sit in your hand.

The second effect is too impractical for the modern game, requiring your opponent to destroy it, and it limits the type of monsters you can summon due to requiring a "Fire King Avatar" specifically (so, no Sacred Fire King Garunix or Fire King High Avatar Kirin).

This means it doesn't really have a place in today's decks - we don't recommend running any copies of this card.
