First you gotta have basic salamangreat combo tutorial.

[@M1n1me13]

Summon gazelle Gazelle effect gets stopped What u going to do? Normal summoned gone at best u can hope u have a spinny an gazelle in hand to be able to get another on board. To go into link. Stop gazelle unless you have an amazing ass hand you ain’t doing anything for that turn that will be impressive

[@RepTheoAndFriends]

@@M1n1me13 I would stop Gazelle if it was Normal Summoned, because it means that there is no Spinny in Hand. But if they Normal Spinny, link it away and Special Summon Gazelle, the best play is to stop the Mirage Stallio, because it prevents them from ss Jack Jaguar to recycle Gazelle and get a +1 every Turn. So they end on something like Sunlight Wolf + Roar

[@macchi004]

Don't forget that if you hard draw the field spell as a 1 of, you can bait hand traps by telling your opponent you're activating Balelynx. If they don't hand trap you, attempt to search deck, say no target, and they have to take your word for it. LOL.

Shame fire is the attribute with less generic support in the game

[@lord_boneman]

I find it funny that Salamangreats are actually meta relevant. At first everyone was trashing both Cyberse and Salamangreats when they were first introduced. But I knew eventually all the awesome support would cause 1 deck to finally capitalize on it.

[@nazumiikuroni7081]

Well cyberse is still pretty lackluster and salamangreats are only now viable since tcg finally got the rest of thier cards

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

Especially cap g, he was pretty much super disappointed when the structure deck first got announced, and he trashing the deck so hard. In my personal opinion, he doesn’t deserve to play this deck.

[@lord_boneman]

Dark Wind Ruler Granted, before the structure deck came out the deck was pretty janky. Also, I will never forget not forgive Konami for making the Ritual Salamangreat shit and tease us by saying the ritual spell works on all Salamangreat Rituals...

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

@@lord_boneman yeah, but even with the structure deck announcement, he never had any hope for this deck to be meta

[@hound_of_justice]

This deck is a treasure. Seriously. There is not a single one "trash" Salamangreat Card in that Soulburner Structure Deck. You can build your own Salamangreat Deck as you want. (but i highly recommend getting that Lady Debug 3x, Sunlight Wolf 3x and at least 1x Violet Chimera and Fusion of Fire, the rest is really just optional) Yes, you can build in cards like Effect Veiler, Psychic Wheelder, etc. but you dont have to. Your deck will still be really good. I even play with underrated cards like Salamangreat Gift in my deck even tho most pro players dont use it. And as alternative for Impermanence i use Breakthrough Skill 3x.

[@charlesseward7071]

Instead of really good you mean great

[@grimnekropolis8500]

I use Psychic Tracker in my salamangreats since I had a play set of them and they are only to extend play. Some other extra deck cards that can be used are Transcode Talker Update Jammer and Clock Lizard(for a violet chimera combo)

[@hound_of_justice]

@@grimnekropolis8500 Nice :) Its personal preference, i would rather play Wheelder but im going to buy 2x Effect Veiler. But for now im playing without Veiler. 3x Ash is enough for now :D

[@RenlinkMorales]

But that ritual monster is trash in order to use that 1st effect I have to use 1 in the same name on the field. Come on I'm wasting alot of cards to ritual summon

[@antonioportaro9555]

First time commented, and only recently got back into Yugioh over the past year. Didn't know how to reach out to you in a better way but I think you should really bring back to "introduction" series and continue it as new Arch-types come out. For those getting into Yugioh for the first time or are coming back to the game, the series was a great introduction to the game and gave great insight into potential desk to buy to combat the current meta or just had a keen interest in. either way, I think its great content and still enjoy what you do now.

[@joockson1238]

This deck at what I’m looking at at like a average player standpoint is since I have a salamangreat budget deck it’s using the effect to combo from the grave to get more cards on to the field to tribute, special summon, or summon from your extra deck as most of the cards in your normal deck don’t have that high of an attack

[@coolofthedude8345]

cimoooo all you needed to say about salamangreat is that konami took card effects that have proven to be busted and copy pasted them on a archtype it would have saved so much time

[@forvergone4784]

1 card combo with lady debug. Normal summon debug, add gazelle, link into balelynx, add sanctuary, Reincarnate link into another balalynx, activate gazelle, special summon itself, dump spinny, special spinny, get mirage stallio, and if you went second then you could link into sunlight wolf and bounce a monster, but not before activating stallio to get either jack jaguar or foxy

[@darthdragonborn1076]

Id also like to add somthing with the salamangreat fusion,IF your using Clock Lizard you can recycle the fusion monster and the fusion spell from grave to make an otk or a heavy presence on board play

I just say use flame bufferlo, you can add him back to hand nearly unlimited and also use him to trigger graveyard effects from our SGs! The card advantage is crazy! Also its level 3 so XYZ material...why evrybody prefer adding a garanteed gazelle (which can easy be negated) over drawing 2 cards for free?! You will either draw into gazelle or into your rota so...

[@VictryIsNvrYors]

I think Sea Archiver should be something players using this deck should look into. And before anybody says anything, I get it's not a fire attribute but you're going to eventually summon a card to an area a link card points to. I mean, it's a free summon and it's level three. Other than its attribute, what's the harm in just putting one in your deck?

[@magicalscientist192]

I can appreciate the design of this archetype; it's very consistent and it's always nice to see an anime character's deck doing well. I personally don't play it because it's just not for me. However I'm starting to get a little annoyed at how everyone and their mother is playing it online

[@albedoyuriev31]

These cards are a pain in my ass. I just started practicing Salamangreat and there is a lot of fucking reading and memorizing to get through, not to mention the potential combos to figure out. So far I prefer my Ghostrick deck. I was able catch on fairly quickly with them or just make a deck using whatever the hell cards I wanted, not making one that revolves around the same type of monster.

Just one question. Why KONAMI named the fusion spell Fusion of Fire and then gives it a text that specifies that is a Salamangreat card. It is easier to give it a name like Salamangreat Fusion of Fusion of the Salamangreat.

fusion of fire sounds more interesting. And saladmangreat in japanese is "reincarnated fire beasts" so that also make sense.

Can you believe that a deck with a completely garbage ritual monster in the early support could be so good?

[@matthewbolicki9928]

i wonder what side deck to run with salamangreat deck or what other cards to run with it if you don't have key cards.

[@LillyOmega2]

I know, I know, not exactly related to the topic as of the video as a whole, but this crossed my mind a few times when Balelynx was on the screen I still find it annoying how so many cards that offer protection for its archetype by banishing itself to prevent destruction are being made hard once per turns now. Return of the Dragon Lords' protection effect isn't once per turn, so why is that happening with every new card that shares that anti-destruction GY effect released during the VRAINs era other than Neos Fusion?
