Reading this Section

Going forward, every play and combo showcased is performed using a sample deck list which you can find in the Extras section.

It might look different from what you will ultimately build for yourself, but that's alright. For the bread-and-butter patterns and combos we included a list of required cards, so as long as your deck has those cards, you should be able to perform the plays discussed here.

We do recommend playing everything out as you read this section. Probably the easiest way is through a simulator - EDOPro was used to test, perform and record these combos, as it lets you set the order of the cards in the deck, disable shuffling, and draw a specific number of cards - perfect for learning (and writing a guide!)

You can also use other simulators, like Dueling Book or even Master Duel (if you have the time, patience and/or money to craft all the URs needed for the deck).

If you are learning the deck to play the physical card game, we definitely recommend following along and performing the combos with real cards. Practice waiting for your opponent's response between actions, and say each action out loud before doing it. This will quickly build your muscle memory and will make playing at tournaments much easier.

In short, don't just read how to play the deck, put it in practice too by playing along.

With that out of the way, let's talk about patterns - the building blocks of the Fire King combos.
