There dose seem to be no downside to running a lava golem in a burn deck, works with parasite paracide, the many traps that heal you with a high attack monster, any flip monster that burns or mills will trigger from it. It's major weakness is being tributed, but generic tribute cards like Enemy Controller [2] will not work vs a mill/burn deck because they play face downs. When synchro and future summoning methods become available it can be more worthwhile to run anti-special summon cards but that is not the case currently With Syncho and XYZ you'll also potentially have fewer bodies to tribute, but that is no longer the case with pendilum and link.


I wouldn't mind a limit on Lava Golem, at least paracite paracide has many conditions and can be negated by having full monster zones before its drawn and requires support like jade wistle to be more consistent. Lava golem on the other hand gets consistency with multiple copies and can be sarched with Doomdog Octhros and Tour Bus To Forbiden Realms, so even if they limit Lava Golem to (1) it will be viable but require support from searching like paracite paracide dose.

1 lava golem would be too easy to counter imo + its f2p card so nerfing it would be another slap in the face to f2p players.

i'd slap the ♥♥♥♥ outta lava golem users' faces

if you havent realised yet lava golem is only available anti-meta card, that sucesfully shut down saffiras. limiting this card would be another step to making this game more p2w oriented.

You run two lava golem in a deck that isn't burn/mill? or are you saying that a CA saffira deck would counter mill/burn too much if they don't have two lava golem?

[Taweret]

i don't have lava golem, but i'm really looking forward to try it when is avaible at the same rules people are using it now, otherwise it would be unfair to ppl who never played lava golem before.

one lava golem can be countered easily by tributing which is not problem for saffira ca deck, so second one is like your life saver.

Ah, well would be intresting to see if it works out. Ritual are pretty tribue heavy in general though using monsters from the hand or deck as material, but CA usually relies on that to make plays be sacrificing a CA then using its effect or reiviving it form the grave. It would still be possible for them to use Lava Golem as material but reduces CA's control/safety. Wonder what CA players would choose to do.

use 2 trap holes on golems, then tribute them. works ok most of times. but 2 lava golems should be already condition to make burn player win. maybe dont touch golems but just limit massivemorph or mask of accursed, when golem can attack is not that bad.

lol, this a joke?, 'when golem can't attack it's not that bad' they are always set up, windstorm, curse of anubis, 3 sphere kuribo, 3 draining shield, done bro, game over, 1,000 points of damage before your main phase each time.

Not to mention Amazon swordswoman. That also seems to be a staple in burn decks. So even if you floodgate a lava, your opponent can and will use Swordswoman to deal damage to you.

[Taweret]

i just win against these decks by deck out, if they have draining shields they use less damage then. pro tip - when you attack amazon swordswoman with Massivemorph while using "holy guard skill" it deals 0 dmg to you and bonus piercing dmg to your opponent.

golem when is trapholed deals 0 dmg to you, just protect him, then tribute.

Would it be possible to make a coherent Monarch deck in this game yet? I'm sure they would appreciate the free tribute fodder even if it comes at a cost.
