A brief history lesson

The Fire King archetype debuted in 2013 with the Onslaught of the Fire Kings Structure Deck, receiving additional support in Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy and Judgment of the Light.

It enjoyed some competitive success in 2013 and 2014, topping various events, from regionals to YCSes.

In 2016 they received new support in the form of Fire King Island, released as part of Shining Victories, then received Fire King Avatar Arvata in 2017's Circuit Break.

Then, in December of 2023 the archetype was modernized and re-released as Structure Deck: Fire Kings, bringing us cards like Legendary Fire King Ponix and Sacred Fire King Garunix, and our first Extra Deck monster, Garunix Eternity, Hyang of the Fire Kings.

This propelled the deck into meta relevance again, with various tops at events, mostly mixed with the Sinful Spoils/Snake-Eye engines, especially after the release of Age of Overlord.

Finally, in October 2024 Konami released Rage of the Abyss, and with it Fire King Courtier Ulcanix, giving the pure variant of the deck a new starter.

That brings us to today - let's explore all the Fire King cards and see what they can do.
