Fire King Avatar Barong Level 4 FIRE Beast-Warrior 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. Once per turn, during the next Standby Phase after this card was destroyed by card effect and sent to the GY: Add 1 "Fire King" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Fire King Avatar Barong". ATK 1800 | DEF 200 |
Barong, along with most of the Avatars, has the following issue - because of the Green Baboon ruling, this card's first effect will compete for attention with other Fire Kings that have the same effect - most often with Sacred Fire King Garunix, meaning you'll rarely end up choosing to summon Barong this way.
His second effect, albeit very slow, still has use in today's Fire King decklists - for example you'll search Fire King High Avatar Kirin with it at the end of the 1-card Ponix combo.
Thus, only 1 copy should be sufficient.
