Gotta be real, I actually don't have any bold predictions for the July OCG list. Most of it seems fine Though, it would be really funny if the announcement in June comes before the next TCG list *** **Volcanic Emission** Normal Trap Card (1) Activate 1 of these effects. (You can only choose each effect of cards with this name once per turn). - Take 1 "Volcanic" monster from your Deck, and either add it to your hand OR Special Summon it, ignoring its Summoning conditions (but if you do, return it to the hand during the End Phase). - Target 1 Pyro monster on the field; inflict damage to your opponent equal to its original ATK, but if you targeted a monster you control, inflict half that amount instead.

Big welcome volcanic

This during the battle phase to have all you opponent’s monsters crash into Doomfire sounds funny as hell

Finally a good battle phase trap?

[удалено]

“Ignoring its summoning conditions”

This seems pretty good Searchable with Trooper and Emperor, searches/summons any Volcanic monster from the deck, and the burn effect can finish off limping opponents

can do good damage if you're running volcanic queen but I don't think anyone would run volcanic queen ?

No, but it’s good for the more casual people who want to include her. Can still burn for 1550 off Emperor or 1000 off a Bomb Token.

It’s better to summon a second Emperor, since its effect that burns the opponent for each special summon is no joke. You can activate Emission after you bait your opponent’s removal on the first Emperor. Or, if you can tell that your opponent has no removal, activate it immediately, so your opponent takes 1k per special summon. Which would kill them in around 6 special summons.

probably now that we have the trap

A searchable removal for untargetable monsters is good in some metas.

Bruh, this card is busted in Volcanics (Yes, it's a trap, but realise Volcanics are a control deck primarly). The fact it adds to hand during the EP means you can use it again on your turn :) Wait, because it takes the card, does that mean your opponent can't Ash it??!! (EDIT: IT CAN BE ASHED!!!!)

> Wait, because it takes the card, does that mean your opponent can't Ash it??!! It still can be Ashed, just like an un-Misc'd Oviraptor can

Oviraptor *can* still be ash'd under misc... ash just... doesn't do anything

Yeah, but I meant as in "it will be negated by Ash".

No, the opponent can still Ash it. The trap first lets you take a card then (potentially) add it to the hand or special summon it, which fulfills the activation condition of Ash Blossom.

It Summons from Deck or adds it to hand. That’s two things Ash can hit.

I am so happy for you you deserve it

Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't look too good. Are there any Volcanic monsters you would want to summon on the opponent's turn? Edit: I guess Doomfire? Edit2: Actually the card is better than it looks. It has some good interactions within the deck.

Summon Trooper to search Scattershot for immeadiate discard and raigeki eff? That comes to my mind, or Summon OG Doomfire during the BP and force your opponent to attack it and wipe his field? I gotta analyse the card a bit more, but these are my first two scenarios that come to mind....

I'm sure you can cook something for it. It seems the type of card that doesn't look good on surface but has niche interactions within the deck.

It's a searchable searcher that lets you generate advantage during either player's turn or can finish off the game, how does it not look good? I mean beyond summoning Trooper/Rocket and gaining a decent bit of advantage like payne said you can summon a second Emperor so anytime your opponent special summons they take 1000 damage

Don't get me wrong, the effects are good. It doesn't _look_ good by being a trap, but the card has good interactions nonetheless.

Yeah, but it's a searchable in archetype trap for a control deck. It's like looking at a Labyrinth card and being upset it's a trap. It had plenty of stuff going for it before you look at specific interactions.

I feel like the old gut reaction of "trap = slow, therefore bad" is a gross oversimplification, especially since there have been recent examples of reasonably competent trap decks, e.g., labrynth. Mechanically, this card is better as a trap because it can be used during both your turn and your opponent's thus giving you more advantage and with the pre-existing support it works better as a trap since it can be searched by Emperor. EDIT: Generate more advantage was based on me thinking this was continuous for some reason, not more advantage but can be chained at least.

This will sound very Yugi-boomer of me, but I honestly find it a shame how much the game has developed to almost always dismiss one of only 3 main deck card types, unless they're absurdly broken.

Especially given Volcanic is a burn control deck which is the sort of deck that benefits from Trap cards.

This is a little bit like Maxx C. If your opponent cannot deal with it, it can shut down the entire turn.

That’s not how Scattershot works. A blaze accelerator has to send it.

I think he’s assuming you have Reload on the field in this combo.

Oh yeah that’d work. I think the trap is good either way since it gives your Emperor more utility.

can search Kaiju in the form of Volcanic Queen.

I have one. Monkeyboard to 1?

I mean, yeah, but I wouldn't consider that bold. Besides, the OCG list does need some cleaning lol

Engage to 3? Ohhh how about Mermaid to 1

Engage to 3 is lukewarm, but Mermaid we talking

Orcust still won’t be that good

But it would be playable

True, I would like to see it

Why would the phrase “but if you do, return it to the hand during the end phase” be in parenthesis

When I wrote it, remembered how the text in Stubborn Mehnir was done in the TCG Granted, they put the Summoning part first > If this card is Special Summoned from the GY: You can target 1 EARTH monster in your GY that can be Normal Summoned/Set; Special Summon it (but negate its effects, also banish it when it leaves the field) or add it to your hand.

[удалено]

You can choose which effect to apply first during the End Phase

[удалено]

Yes.

That card art looks amazing.

Doomfire and Queen never looked this detailed before in any other promotional art. Great work by the artist :)

The fact that the artwork includes Volcanic Queen makes it super impactful. That monster reminds me of the Mr. T duel in season 4... that duel was just messed up on so many levels

Top 10 best Duels

Yeah, I agree. Mr. T often memed for the whole "Darkness!!!" thing later on, but he was actually horrifying in that duel! The mind games were on a whole new level. The only antagonists to play that messed up psychological games are probably Vector and Specter

To me what made this duel is the ending that >!O'Brien's mom was still alive, vindicating his choice, but really stabbing that knife all through the Duel!<

It's been a long time since I saw gx s4, do you remember what episode that was please?

Episode 169

Thank you very much good Guccisir

No problem! And I see what ya did there lol https://preview.redd.it/9ydbj5qhu90b1.jpeg?width=612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=410920f9ed66176beedefe3158c70a90481181b5

Is that Doomfire? I thought it was Emperor but I might be completely blind.

Doomfire’s body lacks the yellow-ish stone parts that Emperor has, that’s a good way to tell them apart.

The Good Ending where O'Brien managed to negate The Unchosen One.

Sadly not a field spell as I hoped, but the art is incredible. It's also searchable by Emperor, so LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Edit: After reading the effect, the card makes up for not being a spell. Despite being a Trap, in a control deck like Volcanics, it absolutely works and helps the deck with it's playstyle. Now we wait to see what the last GX Card will be in Animation Chronicle........

The card seems decent, especially the burn effect. But the artwork is definitely incredible! It literally screams: "Burn the opponent!!"

Facts hopefully it’s a spell that searches!

One copy of Doomfire seems good now?

Not really sure this solves the problem of Spright Volcanics which is that it’s bricky.

I think the inteded design around this Support for Volcanics is that you play a Pure Control version, without any extra engines on top of it.

Don’t get me wrong; I completely get that, and this isn’t bad in that version, but a guy can dream for competitive viability where possible.

Absolutely. Lithium's video has already proven that there is synergy, but it comes at the cost of bricking more. It depends what cards and strategies may come into play that minimaze that....

You have to love Volcanic Doomfire absolutely pogging out in the artwork.

He’s happy to share quality time with his wife, usually they have to work in different fields

Perfect

Now we just need Bonfire to be printed and we're cooking

Yeah, Bonefire is going to be the consisteny boost the deck needs to compete in the modern meta (+ Hiita)

If bonfire gets made I'm playing it in infernoid :)

Surprise Doomfire or Emperor, or target a Queen you gave your opponent to burn for 2500, then they either tribute another monster or take another 1000 in the End Phase.

Surprise Doom fire is hilarious, the only big weakness of the card is that it can be easily be killed before the battle phase. Now you can just reverse OTKing them

You can activate Emission in the battle phase, which greatly reduces the possibility of Doomfire being removed. Problem is the tactic only works against people who don’t really know about it, since once they do, they can try to remove the face-down Emission to force its activation, or just avoid entering the battle phase and skip to the end phase.

I don't know if it is optimal, it damn is funny

I'm pretty sure if a card reads 'your opponent must attack this card if possible' you can't skip the battle phase unless everything is in defense or you used a runic card.

I’m not too sure on the mechanics of cards that force attacks, so you might be right. I do at least know that the opponent can’t exit the battle phase unless they attack with everything they can.

A last volcanic card is trap card interesting

So is this the final card of the set or will there be another salamangreat card?

1 more Main Deck Salamangreat Monster is left to be revealed for the set (Probably next week). The rest is just gonna be reprints

I love how Queen's tail is snaked around Doomfire at the bottom of the card, you can see a lot more detail and it looks marvellous.

Anyone think its funny to kaiju ur opponent and then have this card deal the full damage

great, i can run triple lava golem and maybe tri to burn for 3k

Lava Golem is a Fiend isn't it

shit, you right, there goes the one shity plan

Seems underwhelming at glance, but the trap is neat. Volcanic name to pitch for BAR is always nice, searchable. Adds more burn damage to the deck, vomits doomfire/emperor, searches queen, and at bare minimum search scooter shooter (what i call scattershot) so that you can raigeki them. Barrier statue of inferno looking a tad scary now, ngl.

Final? But that one guy keeps wanting more volcanic support, it shouldn't end!

The waiting is over. Now we are festing :)

I have followed your comments and seen your volcanic comments for years now. I hope you are feeling better :)

And now your watch is ended

We were all expecting Volcanic Mine. Never mind. The artwork is amazing. Two aces (in a way)! The archetype really needed a card with such effects (add to your hand, special summon and burn damage ofc).

Nobody was expecting Mine from this card. If Mine comes out, it'll be in Animation Chronicle.

Oh, yeah. My bad.

I feel like any Volcanic Trap from now on has to be pretty mid if their deck can now easily search them or get monsters to enable plays.

Crazy how big YuGiOh still is. I should sell my old cards

So a searcher but it’s a trap. Volcanic support ends with a wet fart it seems.

Half of Volcanic operates on the enemy turn anyway so it's not exactly a problem. You can flip it in Battle Phase to surprise them with Volcanic Doomfire when they aren't expecting it or summon Volcanic Emperor early in the turn and burn them for every summon they do. Then at an opportune moment trigger Scattershot for 1500 more and a monster wipe. It also searches Scattershot or Shell to hand which can be ditched by Blaze Accelerator Reload.

Add pressure on your opponent, search additional follow-up, setup the field nuke, finish your opponent off, it only does everything.

Seems like a good card and I'll be curious to see what ratios people will run. It being a normal trap is obviously a downside, but those effects are pretty nutty to compensate. Seems like the prime targets might be either Emperor or Doomfire as the massive damage potential both cards offer through battle is impressive, the up to 1550 burn they offer is similarly nice (also gives the deck another way to fill up their graveyard), and the 2 level 8s could be used to overlay into a Rank 8 or a sizable link monster for little to no cost.

"BLAHG"

I think you can FTK with this card lolz

I was hoping for a Field Spell since they have too much backrow going on.

So you can either summon doomfire to make your opponent attack it double summon 2 emperors for a 1000 damage per special summon or inflict 3000 on lava golem you lovingly gave away

Lava golems fiend type

My bad fought it was pyro lol

Was play testing the deck online, previously revealed only 1 good trap to search with emperor feels lackluster. (I think nobody is playing the old FOTB Volcanic trap) Now with another good trap is search is definetely welcomed (no pun intended) Problem I have is how to add back dead or banished Volcanic to your hand for your accelerator cards. (hand is easily depleted) Although Volcanic emperor likes them banished, so each time u SP him the burn damage increase.
