"Volcanic" (ヴォルカニック Vorukanikku) is an archetype of FIRE Pyro monsters used by Axel Brodie in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. They are related to the "Blaze Accelerator" archetype of Spell and Trap Cards.

"Volcanic Eruption" is not a "Volcanic" card because it does not have 「ヴォルカニック」 in its Japanese name. In the Italian version, the inclusion of "Volcanic Queen" seems to be implicit, because her name doesn't contain "Vulcanico".

Design

Appearance

Most of the "Volcanic" monsters are reptilian and dinosaur-like combined with military hardware and are intended to be used with the card "Blaze Accelerator", which destroys opposing monsters by using Pyro monsters as "ammunition" by sending them from your hand to the Graveyard.

Playing style

The main theme of the cards is to destroy monsters with "Blaze Accelerator" while dealing effect damage with cards like "Volcanic Scattershot", "Volcanic Slicer" and "Volcanic Hammerer". Both effects are applied to the trump cards of the archetype: "Tri-Blaze Accelerator" and "Volcanic Doomfire". A big weakness of this Deck can be cards that stop destruction. Since the whole base of this Deck is destroying your opponent's field, cards like "Prime Material Dragon", "Destruction Jammer" and "Stardust Dragon" can stop this Deck in its tracks. Because of that, Side Decking cards like "Discord" can be helpful.

When you want "Blaze Accelerator" or "Tri-Blaze Accelerator", you can Set "Volcanic Blaster". If your opponent attacks "Blaster" and sends it to Graveyard, you can add "Volcanic Rocket" from your Deck to the top of your Deck. When you draw it, Summon it and add "Blaze Accelerator" or "Tri-Blaze Accelerator" to your hand. "Snipe Hunter" can be used as an alternate "Blaze Accelerator". Simply discard what you would normally use for "Blaze Accelerator" for its effect. At the cost of not being a guaranteed destroy, upsides to using "Snipe Hunter" include the facts that "Gladiator Beast Heraklinos" cannot negate its Summon (while it can negate the initial activation of "Blaze Accelerator"), "Stardust Dragon" and "Prime Material Dragon" cannot negate the destroying effect, you can destroy Spell and Trap Cards as well, and you can still declare attacks after using it.

When you successfully Summon "Volcanic Doomfire" you can activate "Final Attack Orders" to make all your opponent's monsters switch to Attack Position and then they will be forced to attack "Doomfire" via its effect. You can add to the burn damage by Summoning "Lava Golem" to your opponent's side of the field. This is also a good way to take out cards that could be harmful to the Deck's strategy, such as "Stardust", "Prime Material" and "Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid".

If you can have "Doomfire" on the field you can activate "Ojama Trio" and "Battle Mania" in that order on your opponent's turn. The "Ojama Tokens" will be forced to attack "Doomfire" due to its effect and because they are Tokens, and are not sent to the Graveyard when destroyed by battle, the effect of "Doomfire" will not activate, thus resulting in 9000 battle damage and 900 effect damage.

"Ancient Fairy Dragon" can Special Summon "Volcanic" monsters from your hand and use their effects to deal effect damage and without entering the Battle Phase.

It is easy to add "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames" to this type of Deck. You possibly have most of the needed Continuous Trap Cards such as: "Gravity Bind", "Backfire" and "Coffin Seller". You can use "Gravity Bind" to stall and burn using the Decks main strategy until you get the necessary 3 Traps, then send "Gravity Bind" to the Graveyard when Summoning "Uria", and you are free to attack with at least 3000 ATK. Also if you are on the ropes, and dont have the necessary Trap Cards, "Uria" is a 0 ATK Pyro monster, so it qualifies for use with "Blaze Accelerator".

If your opponent attacks [[Volcanic Blaster]] and sends it to Graveyard, you can add the [[Volcanic]] Monster you require from your [[Deck]] to the top of your [[Deck]].
-* When you want to damage your opponent's Life Points, you can use [[Solar Flare Dragon]], which at the End Phase damages your opponent's  Life Points. You can use [[UFO Turtle]]'s effect to [[Special Summon]] [[Solar Flare Dragon]] during your opponent's turn when he/she destroys [[UFO Turtle]] by battle, and during your turn, [[Summon]] another [[Pyro]]-Type [[Monster]] to protect it (with its own effect, preferably another [[Solar Flare Dragon]]). You can also protect it by using [[Sakuretsu Armor]] to destroy an opponent's attacking monster. If you have two or more [[Solar Flare Dragon]] on your field, your opponent's monsters cannot attack [[Solar Flare Dragon]] because of the effect of [[Solar Flare Dragon]] (If you control another Pyro-Type monster, this card cannot be attacked). This doesn't just ensure you are safe from battle damage, but inflicts 1000 points of damage to your opponent during each of your End Phases.
-* If you are about to take battle damage, you can use [[Volcanic Counter]] and 1 Fire Monster to share it with your opponent. You can also use [[Magic Cylinder]] or [[Dimension Wall]].
-* When you successfully summon [[Volcanic Doomfire]] you can activate Final Attack Orders to make all your opponent's monsters switch to attack position and then they will be forced to attack Volcanic Doomfire thanks to his special effect.
-* If you use [[Gravity Bind]], you can just skip your Battle Phases and let your monsters' effects do all the burning, without worrying about being attacked.
-** You can add to the burn damage by summoning [[Lava Golem]] to your opponent's side of the field. This is also a good way to take out cards that could be harmful to the deck's strategy, such as [[Stardust Dragon]], [[Prime Material Dragon]], and [[Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid]].
-** Xyz Monsters are Rank not Level, it can use for offensive strategy.
-* If your monster would be destroyed by a card effect, you can [[Chain]] by using [[Spiritual Fire Art - Kurenai]]. This will render your opponent's card effect useless, and damage his/her Life Points at the same time.
-* [[Soul of Fire]] is helpful for quickly burning an opponent's Life Points.
-* [[Backfire]] is also helpful for burning an opponent's Life Points, if he/she uses his/her monsters to destroy yours.
-* [[Pot of Avarice]], [[Volcanic Recharge]] and [[Royal Firestorm Guards]]  help you recover Volcanic monsters in the [[Graveyard]] for using [[Blaze Accelerator]] and [[Tri-Blaze Accelerator]] effect.
-* If you can have [[Volcanic Doomfire]] on field you can activate [[Ojama Trio]] and [[Battle Mania]] on your opponents turn (make sure you activate [[Battle Mania]] last). The [[Ojama Token]]s will be forced to attack Doomfire due to his effect and because they are tokens, and are not sent to the Graveyard when destroyed by battle, Doomfire’s effect will not activate, thus resulting in 9900 (900 from the 3 [[Ojama Token]]s, 9000 from the three [[Ojama Token]] attacking [[Volcanic Doomfire]]) damage to your opponents [[Life Points]].
-* The card [[Coffin Seller]] combos well with the monster destroying effects of [[Blaze Accelerator]]  and [[Tri-Blaze Accelerator]], and even monster attacks.  Each time your opponent's monsters are destroyed, you deal 300 points of damage to their Life Points, speeding up the rate at which this type of deck burns your opponent (Using [[Dark Room of Nightmare]] might work much better than this combo).
-* While [[Volcanic Doomfire]] is on the field, equip [[Ring of Magnetism]] or [[Raregold Armor]] to another monster you control to make a [[Lockdown|Lock]].

-* [[Ancient Fairy Dragon]] can Special Summon Volcanic monster from your hand uses its effect to deal burn damage and without entering the [[Battle Phase]]. Since some Volcanic monsters cannot attack when the effect is used.
