Hazy Flame

"Hazy Flame", known as "Haze Beast" ( Heizubīsuto) in Japan, is an archetype of Level 6 FIRE- monsters that are fiery versions mythical creatures that premiered in Jump Festa 2012 - Special Card Pack, and later expanded in Cosmo Blazer.

The archetype's theme focuses around rapid and constant Summoning with ease, initially to Xyz Summon Rank 6 Xyz Monsters. Through the help of their "Haze" support cards the player is allowed to "Normal Summon "Hazy Flame" monsters with one less Tribute" or in their case without Tribute, is what makes the Deck run so smoothly.

Thirdly all members of the archetype share the effect "Cannot be targeted by an opponent's card effect(s)"; however, their signature card "Hazy Flame Basiltrice" (which can be Xyz Summoned with up to 5 Level 6 FIRE monsters, with accumulated effects depending on the number of Xyz Materials attached to it) requires a minimum of 4 Xyz Materials to obtain that effect.

In addition, the monsters all have their own effect(s) that compliments one another and further supports their overall theme. Their effect genre range from the following:


 * Increase/Decrease ATK/DEF - "Hazy Flame Cerbereus", "Haze Beast Hipogrifo", and "Hazy Flame Basiltrice".
 * Search Deck - "Hazy Flame Cerbereus" and "Hazy Flame Peryton".
 * Special Summon - "Hazy Flame Griffin", "Hazy Flame Peryton", and "Hazy Flame Sphynx".
 * Attribute - "Hazy Flame Griffin", "Hazy Flame Peryton", "Hazy Flame Sphynx", "Haze Beast Hipogrifo", and "Hazy Flame Basiltrice".
 * Xyz Monster - "Hazy Flame Basiltrice" and "Hazy Pillar".

 * Cannot be destroyed - "Hazy Flame Basiltrice", "Hazy Flame Mantikor.
