Royal Firestorm Guard

"When this card is Normal Summoned, select 4 Pyro-Type monsters in  your Graveyard.  Return those cards to the Deck then draw 2 cards."
Welcome back to my very first "tech talk" post as I like to think about it though I think I'm stealing that name from somwere else.  It's actually interesting that I call this a tech because if you looked closely at the opening post this was one of the pictures in my square.  That is how intrinsic I consider it to the Volcanic archetype.  That again seems like an odd statement when you look at the decks I just posted, but here you need to consider that the variations I have to date posted only have the basic Volcanic engine.  More decks with this card are to come.

Now what is basically the only way Volcanics have been hit by the banlist?  The limiting of Pot of Avarice.  It was amazing for Volcanics, allowing you to return 3 Volcanic Scattershot and 2 Volcanic Shell to your deck while at the same time giving you +es.  Sadly Plant Synchro made it so abusable that it had to be limited.  While at first that seems lame, Volcanics have a way to bounce back.  This guy.  He enables you to run 3 more Pot of Avarice except you don't even get the -1 of using Pot because he sticks around.  The downside is he is less versatile but it's still an amazing card.

When would I suggest running this? Basically if you have both Shell and Scattershot in your deck this would work.  They both fill your grave fast and I've actually discarded Scattershot and sent the other 2 to destroy 1 monster and get that +1 (though TBH it's almost always best to send all Scattershots as I will talk about later).

Anyway there isn't much else to say other than this is like the lost Volcanic.  Hope you learnt something new from this!
