Forum:Volcanic Roses Revised - A Half-Burn Half-Beatdown Plant Deck

Strategy:
 * --Monsters: The deck utilizes two different strategies, which may or may not work fluently with each other. The first strategy is through Koa'ki Meiru Gravirose's effect to send a Level 3 monster to the Graveyard from your deck, which in all cases is one of the Lonefire Blossoms. After sending Volcanic Counter(s) the next few turns, the deck shifts into a more aggressive stance. The only drawback here is that Volcanic Counter's effect is not optional. The second strategy is swarming the field with Plants to tribute for Tytannial's effect, or to go full beatdown with the Synchros, Gigaplant, Botanical Lion, and Tytannial. The other monsters are self-explanatory.


 * --Spells: Pretty simple. Hand Destruction allows me to send things like drawn Volcanic Counters or other useless cards at the time. Fertilizer brings back Plants at the cost of your Normal Summon, but its not that bad. Fragrance Storm is draw power. Brain Control is often a favorite first move when the monster is taken for Gigaplant's Tribute Summoning. Solar Recharge is there for the 3 Rykos I'm running.


 * --Traps: Again, simple. Meteor Flare is to send Volcanic Counters that I happen to draw, or I can send either Gigaplant or Tytannial and revive them if I have a Gemini-Summoned Gigaplant or a Miracle Fertilizer. Wall of Thorns is a Plant Mirror Force, always nice to have.


 * --Extra: Queen of Thorns allows me to control my opponent's Normal/Special Summons, dealing damage if they aren't Plant-type. Flamvell Uruquizas and XX-Saber Gottoms are beatsticks. Brionac is just there, and the Yet-To-Be-Released Synchros are there fore both theme and milling. Black Rose Dragon... self-explanatory.
