Ninja's of Searing Flames

[WhiteLightning1]

1 of 3 Old Meta Decks that I have been constructing over the past couple of months. Ninja's of Searing Flames as you've already guessed is a Ninja-based Deck that fouses on the Dark Simorgh Lockdown, the Red Dragon Ninja Loop, and the White Dragon Ninja Lockdown. It utilizes cards such as Ninja Grandmaster Hanzo and Upstart Golden Ninja for toolboxing and getting strategies rolling. It also utilzes Lady Ninja Yae for her Giant Trunade-like effect as well as a variety of Wind-Attribute monsters to fuel it, such as Alector, Sovereign of Birds, and Mist Valley Falcon for fuel and the Red Dragon Ninja Loop. As you may have already guessed by the name of this build and with all the Continuous Traps I'm using, this Deck also uses Uria, Lord of Searing Flames. There aren't too many Spells in this Deck because it's main support is in the Continuous Traps. However I use cards such as Big Bang Shot to use with Mist Valley Falcon, Magic Planter for draw power, and Renforcement of the Army to fetch Warrior cards. As for the Traps I use, Anti-Spell Fragrance and Safe Zone are for the Lockdown combos, Call of the Haunted has it's revival uses as well being part of the Red Dragon Ninja Loop combo, and I have Ninjitsu Art of Trasformation/Super-Transformation cards for getting out Dark Simorgh and White Dragon Ninja. This Deck has been the most difficult of the 3 Old Meta's to build.

I've been through all the Rank 4 and 5 Xyz Cards and I've found a variety of cards to use in the Extra Deck. Heroic Champion - Excalibur is a good in combo with Blade Armor Ninja. Ardeus and Tiras can get some of the annoying stuff out of the way, and with all the Special Summons these days Steelswarm Roach I find useful.

I gave this Deck a test run on DevPro earlier on and the results weren't too gr8. The best I got out was Number 12: Crimson Shadow Armor Ninja. I was drawing seriously bad, there was nothing I could use.

After seeing how this Deck was performing the other day, I decided to go back to the drawing board Armor Ninja's just weren't working for this deck. After looking through the different Ninja Cards on DN, I decided I'll give Lady Ninja Yae a try because with her Giant Trunade-like effect I can get my opponent's back row out of the way and get my strategies in play without any trouble. Originally I was going to use Goe Goe the Gallant Ninja and Masked Ninja Esbit to fuel Yae's effect and use their effects to lower my opponent's hand count, but with what is required for Goe Goe and to get him in play with Esbit would take too much. So I chose Alector, Sovereign of Birds and Mist Valley Falcon instead, Alector is a 2400 Special Summon and Falcon is great in combo with Big Bang Shot as well as Call of the Haunted and Red Dragon Ninja. However the way I have now chosen to run this Deck I have chosen to not run an Extra Deck for now because the way I see these strategies working I won't have 2 monsters of the same level on the field at once for an Exceed Summon.
