NEXUS

Executive Summary

The Hazy Flame archetype is a unique Level 6 FIRE-based strategy focused on swarming the field with mythological beasts that share a powerful, inherent immunity to being targeted by an opponent's card effects. This core protection forms the foundation of a "glass cannon" playstyle, designed to rapidly assemble materials for potent Rank 6 Xyz Summons. The deck's ultimate goal is to summon its colossal boss monster, Hazy Flame Basiltrice, or pivot into oppressive floodgates like Evolzar Solda. Its success is a paradox, relying on explosive, resource-intensive combos that are highly dependent on a few key starter cards and a deep synergy with generic FIRE support.

The Hazy Flame Bestiary

While sharing a common immunity, each Hazy Flame monster serves a distinct role. The engine's success relies on the precise interaction between its primary combo starters and its utility-focused support creatures.

Prime Movers

Hazy Flame Peryton

The undisputed heart of the archetype. By tributing itself and sending a FIRE monster from hand to GY, it summons two "Hazy Flame" monsters from the deck, enabling an instant Rank 6 play.

Hazy Flame Sphynx

A key extender and recovery tool. By correctly guessing the top card of your deck, it can Special Summon a FIRE monster from the hand or Graveyard, reigniting combos.

Utility Corps

Hazy Flame Cerbereus

The deck's dedicated searcher. When destroyed, it adds any "Hazy" card from the deck to the hand. Its 200 DEF makes it a prime target for Rekindling.

Hazy Flame Hydra

A complex enabler. Its Dinosaur typing unlocks Evolzar Solda, and it can attach extra materials to your Xyz monsters, supercharging their effects.

Construct the Floodgate

Overlay the two Hydras to Xyz Summon Evolzar Solda. Both Hydras' effects trigger, attaching the two monsters from your GY to Solda as extra material, resulting in a 4-material negate powerhouse.

The Grand Conflagration: Final Endboards

The Hazy Flame strategy culminates in one of two powerful Rank 6 Xyz monsters, each offering a different philosophy of game control. The choice reflects a deep understanding of both your hand and the opponent's strategy, and the knowledge that these enigmatic flames can forge more than one path to victory.

The Floodgate: Evolzar Solda

Evolzar Solda
Missing: 18511599
  • Proactive Disruption: Can negate an opponent's Special Summon and destroy the monster up to four times.
  • Destruction Proof: Immune to destruction by card effects as long as it has material.
  • Optimal Play: The strongest opening board, capable of shutting down combo decks entirely.

The Fortress: Hazy Flame Basiltrice

Hazy Flame Basiltrice
Missing: 23776077
  • Reactive Removal: A recurring, targeting banish effect to control the board.
  • Layered Protection: Becomes untargetable at 4+ materials and indestructible at 5+ materials.
  • Sustainable Threat: Can be refueled each turn by Hazy Pillar, creating a powerful loop.

Competitive Analysis

Strengths

  • Explosive Ceiling: Can create nearly unbreakable boards from a single card.
  • Comeback Potential: A single Rekindling can instantly rebuild a full board from an empty field.
  • Toolbox Access: Can easily summon any generic Rank 6 Xyz monster to adapt to the game state.

Weaknesses

  • Chokepoint Vulnerability: Extremely reliant on resolving Peryton, making it susceptible to hand traps.
  • Resource Intensive: Combos require a heavy investment of cards from hand, leaving few follow-up plays.
  • Outdated Protection: Immunity to targeting is less effective against modern, non-targeting board wipes and Kaijus.

Key Synergies

  • Fire King Engine: Provides searchable and repeatable ways to destroy Hazy Flame Cerbereus to trigger its search effect.
  • Rekindling: The single most powerful spell for the deck, capable of winning games on its own by swarming the field with 200 DEF monsters.
