I would continue to call it "Ignis Turbo"... if it required Ignis to win. The aim is to deal piles of damage on my turn using Dark Room with my monster lineup, then dealing piles of damage on my opponent's turn using Dark Room with Backfire and my monster lineup. The Flare Lock is real, as all but six Main Deck monsters are Pyro. With Conduction Field, the Maiden String puts 500 damage in my grave for Ignis right away, regardless of Dark Room, Rekindling, Charge, or what have you.

The best part is that the deck can still play relatively aggro against weak hands, utilizing Baby for permanent boosts while fueling Ignis at the same time. I'm packing Blader and Ancient Flamvell Deity to increase the strong Baby targets, but anything can be used in a pinch. After all, Baby's a FIRE Tuner with 200 DEF.

I'm thinking about turning both Firedogs into Ceasefire. There's very much potential for them with Flare Locks and my recursion Spells as support. If I do that, Achacha Chanbara might even be justified here.

I feel like I'm missing something obvious that would make this deck better. Has anyone else used or seen this kind of deck before?

[BurnForGame]

Am I to take this response to mean that no one's seen such a deck in action? If so, I'll take credit for a new decktype! Haha

I certainly never considered this particular deck, but I did endeavor to make something of Ignis. Ask BSA, I basically kept trying to give good points to Ignis, but that was ages ago.

This is certainly a way to go about it

[BurnForGame]

The fact that Ignis can be used as often as you want in a turn makes it too irresistible for me to ignore anymore. I hope to get more testing done soon, but it will probably have to wait for Friday night. I just want to pull off a first-turn Conduction Field. Obviously, that really gives this deck some good early speed!

[ragda]

If only Ignis was 1000 DEF lower, heh. (I guess you may want to say that for a lot of other FIRE monsters)

One thing I remembered I considered Ignis for is Evols, since it'd trigger Najasho. But obviously that's like almost a different deck idea altogether, especially since this isn't Ignis-focused.

Too bad Backfire doesn't work with it, I feel like the Traps could be something else but I'm not sure yet what it should be instead atm...

[BurnForGame]

I've had your same thoughts about both Ignis and Backfire. I mean, the latter does punish people for trying to clear my constant-damage cards (like Solar Flare, Slicer, or a Baby-boosted monster) but I'm not sure it's best. That's why Ceasefire could be a better option. It's bigger damage, faster... but, it gives Dark Room less to do in a sense, but maybe not overall!
