Engines to Consider: Lavals

[@alexanderferkinghoff3052]

Renaud can only add back fire WARRIORS so no returning of Laval´s there. Fun video though, sadly the biggest issue with this engine is getting started, relying on drawing exactly Molten Conduction Field to be able to play is very risky deckbuilding. However if that spell were searchable by consistent means (maybe a future card) I can totally see this engine getting ran.

[@OMGHIDE]

Cannon is a Fire/Warrior monster 🫠

[@X20Adam]

The Assult Mode Engine would be a good one to cover. Its incredibly versatile and customizable for Synchro needs. Only I of the cards locks you and you can just cut that one.

[@FluffalKyurem]

Handmaiden isn't OPT, so you could get five Lavals in the GY.

[@LexAnarchy]

Laval just needs some search cards for their spells, the deck can do crazy stuff but it's super inconsistent atm.

[@KG7777]

I used to run Lavals in Duel Links around the start beginning of the Synchro Era, so I'm well aware of the archetype's viability. Handmaiden isn't OPT, so if you get just one of her in the Graveyard with another Laval, you can use her effect to dump another Handmaiden, then use that one to dump yet another Handmaiden, then use THAT one to dump Lakeside Lady, who can banish a Handmaiden to pop backrow. Then you Normal Summon Cannon, who brings back either Handmaiden to make Dragon for a bounce, or Lakeside Lady to make Stennon, who had, at the time at least, a decent anti-targeting effect with a respectable statline that could made better with a skill like Beatdown. And if all else fails, or if you just really want to go for that OTK, flip over Dustflame Blast to non-target nuke the opponent's field, then Normal Summon Cannon for another Synchro. Now I'm well aware that this is all outdated (and was probably sub-optimal to begin with, lol!), but this was the first deck to teach me how to use the Graveyard as a resource, so I'm going to watch Lavals' future with great interest, though with the state the game's in, the card that finally gets them to realize their full potential is most likely also the card that makes them the #1 most hated meta deck, lol.

[@AtlasNovack]

This engine I've been using with adamancipators in master duel and with dangers in fusion festival: The fossil fusion engine! 2-3x Miracle Rupture 3x Fossil Fusion 3x weathering soldier (who searches fossil fusion or anything that mentions it when sent to the gy) Combine with mainly Fossil Warriors Skullgar (level 4 or below from opponent's gy), skull knight (level 5 or 6) or skull king or skullgios (level 7+) it can take key pieces out of the opponent's gy (like that DPE that's frickin everywhere in fusion festival!) and give you something amazing. Adamancipators and all the stuff that goes with them makes for a really awesome synchro and fusion deck.

[@cutecombo8496]

Laval's need a link 1 that searches conduction field or something.

[@calbutter21shum72]

finally someone actually talking about lavals

[@hillmanhung3846]

Well, it loads the graveyard, but it doesn't lead to any card advantage unless you can use the monsters in graveyard for something.

[@jayguerber7879]

I have an interesting card to suggest, Re-Cover. Thanks to halq and Selene, you can link climb up to a generic link 4 using just Emergency Teleport or One for One. The trade off is that Re-Cover requires you to have at max an 11-card Extra Deck, including Linkuriboh. If there’s a combo deck that doesn’t care about their Extra Deck that much, Re-Cover is better than Sangan-Arboria, and runs no bricks. Dinos maybe?

[@Kawaiisikkusu]

I Play this in Mekk knight since it's a going second deck which mean opponent's extra deck has been decreased. (Either for comboing or banished for Pot cost) so i can keep playing 15 cards extra decks 🗿👍

[@Yous0147]

This is really cool, there are some good synergy around fire types in general so having a core engine like this is a great knowledge base

[@KesslerVTuber]

I have had my eyes on Lavals for a while. They still need more like WAY more especially a searcher for Molten Conductor Field and another decent special summon from grave monster (this is all I can think of) Lavals are imo an expolosive fire deck waiting to happen.

[@phantom_mist1726]

Same here. They just need 2 more cards or 1 really good one! I really like the cards, but there are just missing something!

[@KesslerVTuber]

@@phantom_mist1726 They need much better synchros for one

[@romigodolja3047]

i love ur channel bro its so detailed

[@honourablemuslim2155]

A new channel to add to my yugioh Knowledge, thanks

[@AtlasNovack]

Nice touch with the heat wavy background

[@user-fe8gx3ie5v]

Exlord doesn't negate.

[@damiendease8564]

I played lavals back in the day and it was super fun. Not very good but still very fun. I like the idea of using the lavals as an engine instead of playing them as a whole deck but I can’t really think of anything it could be splashable into with enough synergy to make it worth while.

[@RoxCroagunk]

Searing Fire Wall being quick play works very well with Masquerina, you can basically just build up a lot of tokens and do a quick link play... there aren't really too many interesting monsters that allow for tokens to summon like this though (unless I'm missing some interesting option). I really like 200 DEF Fire decks, really wish there were some more interesting options for them

[@lack_of_reality]

Love this video! Would love to see a video on Genex or Fabled next!

[@hppvitor]

Genex has always been bad outside of Birdman and the still used Undine/Controller engine. And Fabled is a one trick pony archetype only good for synchro spamming, so no reason not to use an archetype that got support in the last decade instead, like Synchron.

[@ryunoishi6514]

I like this, gonna sub for more deck ideas

[@monkeygenerator6394]

Hmm very nice, I would say another engine to consider is Nimble. Just running 3 nimble angler and 3 beavers is pretty nice. If you are playing swap frog, it can discard nimble angler from hand and activate its effect which can be used for chain blocking as well

[@cipper12]

I'm happy about any video about Laval but there are a lot of misinformation in this video. First, biggest problem, Molten Conduction Field, with 3 handmaiden, is foolish burial for 5. Notice the lack of any once per turn and no name restriction. This is why there was once a time that Lavals were play as a Quasar turbo engine. Drawing Molten + Rekindling does everything.

[@Ixionoful]

This video is well timed because I just built my Laval / Infernoble deck like 2 days ago

[@coach182]

Blues eyes engine (1 jet dragon, 1 bewd, 3 dragon shrine)

[@travisbur7110]

I feel like the only way to make this work is to play a lot of cards and almost makes it not an engine anymore. Or more to the point, if like half of your deck is Laval cards, what do you pair it with?

[@pubert12]

Renaud only brings back warrior type fire monsters so he can’t bring back coatl or burner. There are a ton of other warrior laval monsters he can bring back though, like blasted to mill 5 from the top of the deck.

[@tcgtheory1147]

Ooops. I must have had some wired crossed.

[@ODDiSEE_]

How have I never though if Laval salad deck until now

[@seraphimkrieger1480]

He just wamts better odds next local

[@danielwappner1035]

I would say 12 cards is already on the almost too big side for an engine.

[@NutHouseReject]

Handmaiden can dump another handmaiden to trigger its effect so you can actually get 5 tokens off of searing fire wall, and you skipped over laval cannon

[@arthurhilgert2707]

Swarm is not a concern for Laval at all. The deck has terrible consistency issues although, future support must focus on this aspect

[@caiodavi7279]

wanna to hilight the topologics monsters, they can nuke the field on your oponent turn with the token card

[@mesiagamer5217]

Honestly as cool as this engine can be there's a very good reason why this engine doesn't work... For starters even with the three molten conduction field if you don't draw that card alone it makes all other Laval cards basically useless..

[@samwill7259]

No mention of Lavalval chain? That card got so good that it got dropped into basically any deck that could meet the requirements.

[@hppvitor]

Why the hell would he mention a banned card?

[@Ragnarok540]

Is more likely the unban pot of greed than lavalval chain.

[@AtlasNovack]

Anybody got a list with this engine?

[@Myagic]

Chronamally are the og speedroids

[@moh.syafrianabie8899]

Or you could use 3x Tenyi Vishuda to achieve most of what that engine do but without garneting your deck nor getting disrupted by handtrap

[@hppvitor]

Vishuda doesn't give you card advantage and self-mill, it's just a free SS with a recurring effect from GY. Also none of these cards are full garnets since you'll want to use their SS effects to get into the extra deck plays. Have you even watched the video?

[@moh.syafrianabie8899]

@@hppvitor I watch the video, dumbo. You overly rely on Molten and Coatl or Burner or Searing Fire Wall. Did you know what that means? 2 specific cards to combo! If you only have 1 you still can't make a play. At that point you might as well play Laval. And in the end, what's the engine end board is? Dragon? Salamander? At best you can make Halq into 3 omni negates but it still cost you normal summon your handtrap and by that point might as well just use any monster that can be special summon by themself. The very best this engine can do is 4 token with fire wall but I'd rather use Sky Striker Engine. "bUT mUh MiLL REEE" Yeah but can you even do anything with those mill? Invoked Purgatrio? On turn 1? Advantage my ass. Vishuda or any Tenyi can give you free ss, set monster resource in gy with attribute you like based on what Tenyi you use. Vishuda can also bounce monster, floodgate backrow, or even bait out opt omni negates, which Laval need 2-3 cards to summon Dragon (and the combo would get disrupted before you even got there anyway)

[@asianassassin41]

How many of each card do we run

[@akiel941]

Gosh the way you pronounce « Renaud »
