Card Tips:Inferno Tempest


 * Inferno Tempest works well with Return from the Different Dimension.


 * Playing Chaos End and Card Destruction after Inferno Tempest will eliminate all the monsters both players possess. You then can attack directly with D.D. Scout Plane or D.D. Survivor (if he was on the field).


 * Summon "Gren Maju Da Eiza" after you activate Inferno Tempest. Alternately, "Helios Trice Megistus", "Golden Homunculus", or "Tyranno Infinity" also work well ("Tyranno Infinity" only works in Dinosaur decks, though.)


 * This cards works well with D.D. Dynamite, if you and your opponent have a lot of monsters that is.


 * A very easy way to trigger "Inferno Tempest" is to attack a Special Summoned "Grinder Golem" with a "Grinder Token". You can then use the other "Grinder Token" to activate "Crush Card Virus", to destroy "Grinder Golem" and any other remaining threats on the field or in your opponent's hand.


 * Inferno Tempest works extremely well with Soul Absorption - you will gain 500 Life Points for every card removed from play - easily making up for the large amount of life points lost in order to activate the effect of this card.
 * Combine the above with Lava Golem and Gren Maju Da Eiza for a quick advantage of potentially thousands.
 * You can also use Alchemy Cycle to draw a card in case you don't have a Scapegoat or a 0 ATK monster to attack the 3000+ attack monster with.
 * Cyber Valley is a better choice since if you don't have the combo, you can use it to stall a turn while drawing that same card. It also removes itself from play, possibly letting you use Chaos End.


 * A good tactic is to use Inferno Tempest with D.D. Scout Plane and Macro Cosmos. Inferno Tempest will remove all monster cards from play, but D.D. Scout Plane will be special summoned to your side of the field during the end phase of the turn, and Macro Cosmos will ensure it keeps getting returned to the field.


 * This card may be used to fuel OTK or Lockdown Decks. To counter an opponent's way-too-strong attack, activate this card, then activate Dimension Fusion to bring a strong Spellcaster like Cosmo Queen, an Ebon Magician Curran and two Magician's Valkyria for a terrifying Lockdown to your opponent. (Note that current rulings have made Dimensional Fusion Forbidden, making this specific strategy unusable.)


 * An easy way to activate this card is Foolish Revival or Lava Golem, All-Out Attacks, and Absolute End.


 * Use when your Helios Trice Megistus takes 3000+ damage to fuel up its ATK. Use with Big Bang Shot and Ojama Trio to instantly wipe out your opponents life points.


 * Use cards like "Numinous Healer", "Enchanted Javelin", or "Nutrient Z" to ensure that you can activate "Inferno Tempest" without killing yourself.


 * Another good strategy is to activate "Damage Condenser" along with the "Inferno Tempest" to Special Summon a very powerful "Golden Homunculus" to the field.


 * When having two times Necroface in your deck, when they'll get removed by Inferno Tempest, their effect will activate, throwing another 10 cards from both players decks in the RFG pile. Mostly the other player then has about five cards left in his deck, and using D.D. Dynamite is DEADLY at this point. (Due to current rulings you are only allowed one Necroface in your deck, somewhat limiting this strategies usefulness.)
