Scarlet Flame

Scarlet Flame (緋炎；hi-en) is a family introduced in BS60, possessed exclusively by Red cards. Being introduced in the same timing, Scarlet Flame family cards are designed to play around counters and Contract Advent. While all Scarlet Flame family cards have secondary or even tertiary families, most of their effects bind them together through the Scarlet Flame family.
== Play Style ==
There are currently three different approaches for the Scarlet Flame family. The cards from BS60 support the Flame Contract family, the cards from SD64 support the Incarnate family, and the cards from BS62 support the Sky Contract family. The Scarlet Flame family provides a variety of supports to both decks, which are all generic Red effects, such as destruction, core retrieval, and active draws.
=== Flame Contract ===
The Flame Contract deck uses The PartnerDragon Glow as the central piece, revolving around high BP destruction as well as piercing through White effects. Aesthetically there isn't exactly a shared theme between cards, but there are a lot of emphasis on fire and lava.
=== Incarnate ===
The Incarnate deck uses Mugen as the central piece, revolving around big symbol punch. While it's playable as a Red-only deck, the Incarnate deck also encourages mixing in Blue and Yellow Incarnate family cards, symbolising the friendship between Mugen (Red), Ian (Blue), and Chocola (Yellow). The latest finisher of the deck, Mugendragon-the-Trinity-Star, incorporates the signature effects of the three colours, including life burn (Red), cost destruction (Blue), and life heal (Yellow). Due to its OC effect allowing it to use all the OC effects from the cards underneath it, the deck also encourages multi-Advent on the same Spirit. It's also currently the only Contract deck which also supports Ultimates, even if only slightly. Aesthetically the deck's theme is space and stars, corresponding to the background of Saikyo Ginga Ultimate Zero Battle Spirits, the anime which the trio is from, which is about space exploration.
=== Sky Contract ===
The Sky Contract deck uses The PartnerWingedDragon Terad as the central piece, revolving around recycling cores and target attacks. In order to have cores in the trash to recycle, the deck also has a lot of effects which require the player to pay costs. Aesthetically the cards are mostly ancient flying creatures, mainly pterosaurs. Theme-wise, a lot of the cards are also based on actual fighter aircraft.
