Forum:"Volcanic Roses" ~ A Plant Deck with Fire

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: Volcanic Counter or Lonefire Blossom. After sending Volcanic Counter(s), send a Lonefire if you haven't done so already, and that puts in the required FIRE monster for Volcanic Counter's effect. 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. World Tree allows me to blow things up, and bring back Plants. Fertilizer brings back Plants at the cost of your Normal Summon, but its not that bad. Fragrance Storm is draw power. Burial lets me re-use the Volcanic Counters for another time.


 * --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 is a piercing beatstick. Black Rose Dragon... self-explanatory.

--Side: Though I didn't list my Side Deck, I do keep a pair of Nettles there, just in case I need to Synchro for Queen or Uruquizas quicker.

Feedback and fixes are greatly appreciated. I have everything but the Violet Witches and the Gold Sarcophagi, and the deck runs really well though a little proxied. Its first duel was a 2-vs-1, which was quickly over due to Meteor Flare and Queen of Thorns.

Thank you.
