How to play Volcalize Phoenix (Pyro Deck)

Volcalize Phoenix (also jokingly called "Chicken," "Bird," or "KFC" decks by players) is a deck centered around the incredibly interesting Maximum Summon Fire-type mechanism in Rush Duel.

The deck's core gameplay involves using low-level monsters for defensive stalling, combined with Skills to continuously dig through the deck to collect all three Maximum pieces. Once successfully summoned, the main Boss, Roaring Firestorm Volcalize Phoenix, will crush opponents with its 3500 ATK, defense-piercing attack, life-burning, and powerful card-destroying effects. While its stability isn't absolute and relies heavily on luck, the feeling of blowing up your opponent's board with this deck's blazing fire is sure to be incredibly satisfying!

You can Maximum Summon this card together with "Blazebolt Chemistorm Fenghuang Volcalize Phoenix [L]" and "Blazebolt Chemistorm Fenghuang Volcalize Phoenix [R]". [REQUIREMENT] Maximum Mode: Send 1 FIRE Attribute or Pyro Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard. [EFFECT] Inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. Then, this turn, this card cannot be destroyed by your opponent's Trap Card effects, and if it attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage (if the ATK of the attacking monster exceeds the DEF of the attack target, inflict the difference).


(Middle Piece): This main monster provides destructive power to the deck. In Maximum mode, it reaches 3500 ATK, capable of piercing defenses (Piercing) and is immune to the destructive effects of Trap cards. You can send 1 Fire/Pyro monster from your hand to the Graveyard to deal 1000 damage, which, combined with armor-piercing damage, creates overwhelming pressure to finish the game in just 2-3 turns. However, when summoned independently, it is quite unremarkable with only 2400 ATK and no special effects.

[REQUIREMENT] Shuffle 1 FIRE Attribute Thunder Type monster from your Graveyard into the Deck. [EFFECT] Destroy 1 face-up Level 9 or lower monster on your opponent's field. Then, if this card is in Maximum Mode, you can destroy 1 monster on your opponent's field.


[L] (Left Piece - Thunder Tribe): Expert at clearing enemy monsters. By shuffling 1 Fire-Thunder monster from the Graveyard (usually a copy of itself) into your deck, you can destroy 1 face-up monster Level 9 or lower. In Maximum mode, it allows you to destroy 1 additional monster of any type. Even if you don't have a full Maximum set, you can still Summon it as a 2000 ATK monster to clear a path and attack.

[REQUIREMENT] Shuffle 1 FIRE Attribute Aqua Type monster from your Graveyard into the Deck. [EFFECT] Destroy 1 Spell/Trap Card on your opponent's field. Then, if this card is in Maximum Mode, you can destroy 1 Spell/Trap Card on your opponent's field.


[R] (Right Piece - Aqua Tribe): Has a similar effect to the Left Piece but is specifically used to destroy back-row (Spells/Traps). Requires shuffling 1 Fire-Aqua monster from the Graveyard into the deck to destroy 1 Spell/Trap card, and 1 more if in Maximum mode. Because the deck uses other Fire-Aqua monsters to support it (like Dian Keto), this effect is extremely easy to activate and very versatile.

[REQUIREMENT] If a Spell/Trap Card is on the field, send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard. [EFFECT] Gain 1000 LP. Then, you can make this card gain ATK equal to [the number of face-up Spell Cards on the field] x 300 until the end of this turn.

[REQUIREMENT] If a Spell/Trap Card is on the field, send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard. [EFFECT] Gain 1000 LP. Then, you can make this card gain ATK equal to [the number of face-up Spell Cards on the field] x 300 until the end of this turn.


The rare Fire-Aqua monster is included in the deck not for its ATK, but to serve as the perfect "fuel" (cost). It's often sent straight to the Graveyard via Skill, or discarded from the hand to activate the health-burning effect of the Mid-Segment.

After being buried in the Graveyard, it becomes a resource to shuffle the deck, helping the "Right Fragment" [R] activate its Spell/Trap clearing effect.

[REQUIREMENT] If your opponent has a monster on their field, send this face-up card from your field to the Graveyard. [EFFECT] Special Summon 1 Level 7 or higher Pyro Type monster from your hand face-up to your field. Then, if you have "Ember the Super Assistant" in your Graveyard, the monster Special Summoned by this effect gains 800 ATK until the end of this turn.


This is excellent support for the Pyro deck, helping to revive and increase the ATK of mini-bosses or Volcalize Phoenix fragments to attack in situations where a Maximum Summon is not possible.

[REQUIREMENT] None [CONTINUOUS EFFECT] This face-up card can be treated as 2 Tributes for the Tribute Summon of a FIRE Attribute monster in Attack Position.


Low-tier monsters have balanced stats but offer a unique Tribute ability. It can be counted as two Tributes to summon a Left or Right Fragment when you need to use them as standalone attack monsters. In rare cases, it can also be used to Summon Dian Keto the Food Prodigy to take advantage of her ATK boost.

A ninja who prides himself on being al dente. He constantly trains himself to reach the hardness of steel wire. He isn't great with water techniques.


These are the low-tier monsters that form the defensive foundation of the deck. They are chosen for their balanced Attack and Defense stats: sturdy enough to withstand significant damage from your opponent's attacks, but not too weak to be easily defeated in attack position. They act as effective time-buying walls, allowing you to survive while digging through your deck for Maximum pieces.

Dynamite, in particular, can sometimes offer a slight advantage due to its ability to chip away at the opponent's health.

    Duel Link :

    This is simply the best OG (Legend Spell) card in the game right now. The ability to draw two cards completely free of charge provides invaluable value for a deck that craves speed in gathering all three Maximum cards, like Volcalize Phoenix.

      [REQUIREMENT] If you have a face-up FIRE Attribute monster on your field, shuffle 1 Aqua, Pyro, or Thunder Type monster from your Graveyard into the Deck. [EFFECT] Draw 1 card. Then, if you have a monster in Maximum Mode or a face-up Equip Spell Card on your field, you can draw 1 additional card.


      It's like a "second Pot of Greed " in the deck, but it requires slightly stricter conditions. If you have a face-up Fire monster on the field, you shuffle 1 Pyro, Aqua, or Thunder monster from the Graveyard into your deck to draw 1 card.

      The most terrifying aspect is that if you have a monster in Maximum mode, you get to draw one more card. While this might be a bit tricky to use before you summon a Boss monster, once Maximum is on the field, it's a great tool for digging through your deck to find trap cards.

        [REQUIREMENT] None [EFFECT] Send any number of monsters from your hand to the Graveyard. If [the total Levels of those monsters sent to the Graveyard by this effect] is 10 or higher, you can draw 2 cards.


        An extremely effective tool for speeding up card discarding. This spell allows you to proactively send cards from your hand to the Graveyard in exchange for new draw turns. In this deck's mechanics, you'll frequently use Heavenly Gift to discard Maximum cards (to be retrieved later using a Skill) or monsters that serve as "fuel" (like Dian Keto or Chemicalized Salamander ) to the Graveyard.

          [REQUIREMENT] Equip this card to 1 face-up Pyro Type monster on your field. [EFFECT] The equipped monster gains 300 ATK and cannot be destroyed by your opponent's Trap Card effects.


          This provides protection and increases the attack power of Pyro Monsters. Although our Boss already has a protective effect, adding this effect to sub-bosses or individual fragments when you can't max them out is quite beneficial.

          Many times, our boss gets caught by traps before its effect even activates. Having this card to protect it makes things much safer.

[EFFECT] Change up to 2 face-up Effect Monsters on the field to face-down Defense Position. Then, if you changed a monster on your opponent's field with 2600 or more original ATK to face-down Defense Position by this effect, gain 1500 LP.

                  [REQUIREMENT] When a monster(s) on your field is destroyed by an opponent's attack or their card effect and you have no other monsters on your field. [EFFECT] Change 1 face-up monster on your opponent's field to face-down Defense Position. Then, if a Level 10 monster was destroyed, you can destroy 1 face-down card on your opponent's field.

Then, if you have "Ember the Super Assistant" in your Graveyard, the monster Special Summoned by this effect gains 800 ATK until the end of this turn.
