Legendary Fire King Ponix Level 1 FIRE Winged Beast If your monster(s) that was originally FIRE is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Fire King" Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand. During the next Standby Phase after this card was destroyed and sent to the GY: Add this card from the GY to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Legendary Fire King Ponix" once per turn. ATK 500 | DEF 200 |
He's not just the cutest Fire King, he's also one of the most important cards in the deck too.
Ponix is one of your starters - you'll almost always want to summon him during your first turn to search Fire King Sanctuary, which will get the Fire King engine started (see the Combos section).
If destroyed during your combo, it will return to your hand during the next Standby Phase - this ensures you constantly have a FIRE monster or Fire King in hand to destroy for effects like Fire King Avatar Arvata's negate, or Fire King High Avatar Kirin's effect to Special Summon itself, both of which require you to destroy a FIRE monster in your hand or field.
Later on, you can make use of his effect to search Fire King Sky Burn or Circle of the Fire Kings to destroy your opponent's cards, extend your board, or push for an OTK.
It's recommended to always run 3 copies.
