Flamvell " Flamvell " ( フレムベル " Furemuberu " ) is an archetype of FIRE monsters whose effects include burning away the opponent ' s LP and increasing each others ' ATK . Many of their effects are triggered when they inflict Battle damage or destroy a monster as a result of battle . They are introduced in " Duel Terminal - Synchro Awakening ! ! " with further support in " Duel Terminal - Invasion of Worms ! ! " . They are introduced to the TCG through the Booster Pack " Ancient Prophecy " , with " Flamvell Commando " as a TCG - exclusive , with further cards coming through the Booster Pack " Hidden Arsenal " . Aside from being FIRE monsters , the majority of them have 200 DEF , and have support based around that . It is possible that they are used by Bob in " Yu - Gi - Oh ! 5D ' s " , because he has " Flamvell Guard " . The " Neo Flamvell " sub - archetype was released in " Duel Terminal - Pulse of the Trishula ! ! " . These monsters are more focused on Graveyard control , especially by banish ing the opponent ' s cards . Playing Style . A Deck using the " Flamvell " archetype will essentially be using FIRE monsters , most of which have 200 or less DEF , and their trump card , " Rekindling " , can get you up to 5 monsters at once . This could lead to various Synchro Summons , or if you have a " Flamvell Archer " handy you can tribute it , " Flamvell Baby " , or " Flamvell Poun " in order to add 800 Attack to each one giving you a total of 3200 extra attack points . Deck Types . Accel Synchro Summon Flamvell . This deck uses the " Flamvell " cards to quickly summon Red Nova Dragon and / or Shooting Star Dragon . Volcanic Flamvell . Volcanic Flamvell uses the " Flamvell " cards to Swarm the field with Synchro Monsters and " Blaze Accelerator " to get rid of your opponent ' s monsters . Zombievell . This Deck ' s strategy is to mix " Flamvells " with Zombie monsters , since some of the most beneficial Zombie monsters in the game share 200 DEF , the same as a majority of " Flamvell " monsters . " Flamvell Poun " makes an excellent search card because of that , netting the player either an " Immortal Ruler " , a " Spirit Reaper " , or a " Plaguespreader Zombie " . Flamval . This Deck adds Laval monsters to help mill cards and swarm the field . Weaknesses . Since " Rekindling " and " Flamvell Firedog " plays a large part in most " Flamvell " Decks , cards like " Vanity ' s Ruler " , " Vanity ' s Emptiness " , and " Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo " kills this deck type . In addition to that , a Macro deck will destroy the strategy by making it impossible to use " Rekindling " ' s effect to its maximum extent . " Prohibition " or " Armageddon Designator " ( the latter in Mirror Match es ) can also prevent the use of " Rekindling " , making it much harder to win . " Necrovalley " and " Forbidden Graveyard " can also now stop " Rekindling " in the TCG since TCG / OCG rulings merged . " Blackwing - Jin the Rain Shadow " can destroy every " Flamvell " monster because they all have a measly 200 DEF compared to " Jin " ' s 600 ATK . Many key " Flamvell " s ( i . e . " Firedog " and " Magician " ) are also Level 4 , making them prey for " 4 - Starred Ladybug of Doom " . By a similar token , " Water Dragon " , " Star Boy " and possibly " Umi " can severely handicap " Flamvell " offenses .
