Patterns

So what are patterns (or play patterns)?

They're short sequences of actions you commonly take while playing a deck. Some of them can be coupled together to form a combo line, while some are stand-alone and serve to help you advance your overall game plan in a certain way.

In most of your duels you'll aim to perform one or more of these patterns, attempting to set up the Fire King engine while also layering interruptions or recycling cards. Thus, it's a good idea to learn these patterns and where it's applicable to do them.

Later on we'll discuss combos, and you will see how some of these patterns come together to form a larger combo line. With time, you'll be able to improvise combos as you go by just chaining patterns together, no longer needing the combo sheet handy.

Enough talking - let's start learning how to play this deck, shall we?
