How to Beat Fire King

[@motcUS]

this video alone helped me beat my fire king opponent. we dueled for a few days at lgs and i lost but after swaps from this i got ‘em game 2 turn 3

[@3rdAgeSoap]

Been a Fire King main since I started in Duel Links and seeing people actually playing it feels so crazy but I'm here for it

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Damn! I stopped playing DL just before XYZ released and even I remember fire king doing well! I'm happy your favorite deck got some nice support!

[@garygreen2269]

This man deserves more subs

[@MattOsheaYGO]

thank you

[@saviorstyles9148]

Your videos are literally perfect 👍 great job

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Thank you! I'm happy you think so!

[@jakemcgee9191]

Your videos are absolutely incredible

[@turtledude6454]

nice video! quick correction though is kirin does not target which means mudragon does not effect it.

[@MattOsheaYGO]

yeah i misspoke i mentioned earlier in the video that it doesnt target, and still said it does later on

[@ac1dfoxdie716]

thank you very much bro for the info

[@MattOsheaYGO]

I'm happy you enjoyed the video

[@charliecruz5640]

how is this guy not more well known. Thanks for the help boss.

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Appreciate you! I'll be bringing an updated guide for the post PHNI list

How to beat Fire King; Silent GY, Soul Drain, macro cosmos, d.d. fissure and Dimensional Shifter

[@ShadowHazy]

So it’s like how to beat almost every modern deck?

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Anything to shut off the GY wins!

[@haydenbennett3547]

The deck will still struggle against unchained because they also thrive off destruction

[@dustinbutcher2281]

Or just droll

[@travisdinham6084]

I heard Pak talking about Soul Release too. Thought he was joking until I tried it out, really solid going second card to draw

[@MattOsheaYGO]

I know! When I saw OCG lists running it I was shocked but it works;

[@kevinc.8885]

how to beat fire king burn or conceal garunix call a judge and tell them your opponent has 39 card works everytime

[@RogueVisionary]

Infinite Imperm & Effect Veiler can also be dodged by Circle

[@MattOsheaYGO]

for sure, but you have to have GY set up already

[@victorleppas3067]

I love this archetype with tri brigade (I have a base that had no use since a long time) But as many many decks, shifter, macro cosmos, fissure and droll kill the deck

[@MattOsheaYGO]

I want to look into that version! It might be the best case for my budget series!

[@victorleppas3067]

@@MattOsheaYGObudget especialy to me, just the 3 structure decks and 5€/$ for some staples and link to finish the 40 main, 15 extra and 15 side it was nice XD

[@MrHellsing1055]

Unironically, kash seems strong this format if you’re main decking fissure and macro cosmos

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Kash can actually do a lot but losing Arise Heart makes life so much harder

[@saul6318]

Actually running Bystial / Sycron rn Play Mikanko too. At least at locals Did pick up Fire Structure deck X3 and plan on playing it next weekend 🤞🏽 challenge excepted ha ha

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Bystial Synchro is still my primary deck, but i really am enjoying FK a lot right now!

[@saul6318]

I like the Tuning at two, Assault three ratio 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@kaylanicoles8195]

You missed Exosisters

[@MattOsheaYGO]

True! Exo has a great fire king matchup!

[@SuperMono64]

I still can't get over your reaction when I declared FIRE with Mudragon when testing heh

[@MattOsheaYGO]

yeah you're mean!

[@jefflin3545]

A question here, so if I have a ghost belle in my hand. And my opponent have a non-kirin fire king monster in the grave, fire king island on the field, with kirin in the hand. My opponent use island to destroy kirin to search ponix to hand. Now, my opponent activate kirin on destroyed effect in the grave, can I negate kirin with ghost belle in my hand on chain 2? Or my opponent can chain 1 kirin and chain 2 ponix to summon from hand to chain block ghost belle from activating?

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Technically your opponent can choose to use the ponix they searched if they don't, then you can use the Belle. Tbh you're probably better off using it when they try to interact with you on your turn

[@firemage8874]

What about Solemn Judgement? What would be the best target if you used it?

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Judgment is tough, becuase it negates and destroys which can trigger effects. I would say, Hit the Island if anything, or sanctuary

[@endo9863]

Can someone explain how d.d. crow is better than cosmic cyclone against Fire Kings?

[@ElPsyKongroo]

4:20 fax why did people recently buy out phantazmay lmfao

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Its seeing a lot of play right now, hopefully we get a reprint soon!

[@jt3937]

Does solomons lawbook make sense? Or can they chain there monstereffekt on it?

[@MattOsheaYGO]

If you activate it in DP, they cant chain it, but honestly, there are so many better options

[@akaniichan]

Labrynth needs to loop different dimension ground now lol

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Or hope FK doesn't play well

[@puchopucho7790]

A deck that will be good against fire king is yubel, i have won almost all duels i have matched against fire king in dueling nexus with my yubel deck. Mostly because of the ammount of non-destroying field clear effects with super poly, nibiru and eternal favorite. Also thanks to grinder heist golem you always have a target for your yubels to attack and otk

[@MattOsheaYGO]

I know so little about the Yubel Deck but if it works, why not! I know they are getting support soon too!

[@puchopucho7790]

@@MattOsheaYGO oh yes, i'm ofc talking about a deck with the new support that's coming in phantom nightmare, also the decks i've dealt with used the new support for fire king

[@babysinclairfan]

Can you do unchained next? :)

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Unchained was the first one i did! Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKHWkpuLi9eqirM

[@wyspreegamings6380]

I just bought 3 copies of the Fire King Structure Deck. Is that enough?

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Pick up 3 copies of ash blossom as soon as you can! And then keep upgrading the deck as you see fit :)

[@wyspreegamings6380]

@MattOsheaYGO Noted. This structure deck got me excited. So glad that I spotted it inside the store next to the Traptrix Struture Decks.

Mostly negate core,the deck is useless

@@ZazankoVT you shut your mouth cyber dragon is insane

[@tcoren1]

5:48 ??? You can't stop the activation from deck with ogre

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Usually continuous and field spells need to be on the field to activate and resolve, but i just tested it out and it didnt prevent it. Youre right!

[@tcoren1]

@@MattOsheaYGOfirst line of ghost ogre: "... or when a Spell/Trap that is already face-up on the field activates its effect...". Ghost ogre does not respond to 'on activation' effects. Mind you it can respond to island searching but they'll just protect it with sanctuary

[@MattOsheaYGO]

@@tcoren1 smh I'm so used to Ogre that I forgot the first sentence 😂 Appreciate the correction!

[@Dunkelpilger]

Since when change of hearts is considered to be a board breaker? X D But yes, overall a well explained video.

[@MattOsheaYGO]

More so meant to be a catchall for cards that steal a monster but I get your point 😅

[@THEInkedPotassium]

Or just play Umi Control and have a walking searchable Gozen Match always at hand is too good to pass Hell yea baby

[@Its_The_Mamba]

seems like floo could be good for it

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Floo plays D-shifter, so absolutely!

[@ndoublet2436]

How to beat traptrix or floorwandereze would be nice

[@MattOsheaYGO]

I have neither of those up on the channel, so I'll keep them in mind for the next how to beat guide!

[@dustinbutcher2281]

*cough* droll *cough*

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Droll is solid but not turn ending unless their hand is below average

[@dustinbutcher2281]

@@MattOsheaYGO I've been playing it, and droll stuck to my friend's hand, and diabellestar engine stuck to mine. I noticed it hurts if you have to start with diabelle star
