Deck Profile - Flamvellsworn

Hey guys, it's GuitarSlam,

For my first "real" post I've decided to put up a deck profile. This time I'm going to discuss my current main deck (though I use that term lightly, I switch decks constantly :P); Flamvellsworn. In case some of you don't know what Flamvellsworn is, it's a Lightsworn deck with the Flamvell synchro engine thrown in. I don't want to go too far into explaining the deck just yet. Here's the deck list with the explanation following. <--- Why is this here?

Alright, let's take a look at the monsters. The standard Lightsworn crew's all here; Judgment Dragon, Lumina, Celestia, etc. The classic line-up that dominated the September 09 format. We all know what they do; thin your deck by milling cards in your end phase and gaining advantage through it. Whether you send a Wulf and special summon him, mill a Necro to protect yourself, or simply load the grave full of different Lightsworns for Judgment Dragon, you're almost always gaining some sort of advantage over your opponent.

The next part of the monster line-up is where this deck separates itself from standard Lightsworn decks. I've decided to run my favorite synchro engine in Yugioh, the Flamvells. It's amazing that so much synchro power can come from only two monsters. When Firedog kills a monster and sends it to the grave, you get to special summon Magician from your deck. You can either attack or simply end the battle and synchro into any level 8 synchro that you want. Stardust, Colossal, Thought Ruler, any of them. Even if you mill your Flamvells, no problem. You'll just use Rekindling to get 'em back.

And with that, onto the spells. Triple Solar Recharge and a Charge of the Light Brigade allows for extra draw power and a lot of milling. Foolish dumps Wulf for an instant summon and the rest are staples or protection. Now let's talk about the MVP spell. Rekindling.

Opening with a Rekinding (or even 2) is one of the best feelings in this deck. This amazing spell allows you to special summon as many Fire types with 200 Def from your grave as possible. This lets you bring back both your Flamvell Firedogs and Magicians at any time during the game. You can use Firedogs effect, synchro for a Stardust, and then use Rekindling to get them back and synchro into a Colossal Fighter! Use Rekindling to get your Flamvells back after milling them with your Lightsworns so they're never dead! Rekindling is the power card in this deck (besides Judgment Dragon, obviously) and allows for some super quick wins.

The traps are fairly simple. Double Beckoning Light lets you reuse your Judgment Dragons, Honests, and Celestias. Mirror Force and Torrential are staple destruction that should never be left out. The final traps are 2 Royal Decree. This card will negate all traps on the field (other than itself) for as long as it's face up. This will protect your explosive synchro plays and allow your Judgment Dragons and Celestias to enter the field safely.
