Instructions for playing Infernoble Knight
overview
Infernoble Knights is a sub-archetype of the Noble Knight archetype introduced in the secret pack ' Guided by the Noble Blade '. As a Synchro-focused archetype, the goal of this deck is to take advantage of a fairly underused mechanic in Yu-Gi-Oh, the Equip Card. The new support pile in 'Ride Into the Future' has breathed new life into this strategy thanks to some new support cards as well as a much-needed upgrade to the Emperor's toolkit. With Angelica, Princess of Noble Arms and Noble Arms Museum , the deck was boosted from an underrated engine to a High Tier potential Deck, and with the WANTED engine introduced along with it , which pretty much cements its Tier 2+ status. Hopefully this guide will give you some brief explanations about core and tech engine options, as well as provide some sample decks for FIRE combo 2024.
Old Infernoble cards in the Main Deck
Can be easily searched through 'Infernoble Arms - Durendal' and ' Heritage of the Chalice ', making him the 2nd best Normal Summon in the deck. Infernoble Knight Ogier is often used to bring Fire Warriors from the Deck to the Grave, such as Immortal Phoenix Gearfried , Infernoble Knight Turpin , etc.
Renaud is one of the best combo extension cards in this deck, as it is almost a '2 for 1' card. While keeping Renaud for use as an expansion card is optional, using it early can also be effective as it can set up early plays with Gearfried, Angelica, and even Apollousa. Renaud is mainly used to reclaim cards like Immortal Phoenix Gearfried , Infernoble Knight Oliver , Living Fossil , 'Infernoble Arms - Durendal ' etc. to support further combo extensions, most of which can be sent to the Graveyard by Infernoble Knight Ogier .
Putting Maugis in the deck is quite strange because it hasn't been there before. With the Shuffle effect of "Noble Arms" and Fire-Warrior returning to the deck to draw a card, Maugis is a great tool to find handtraps (cards). hinder the opponent) during the End Phase. This effect can also reuse Equip Spell Cards and Noble Arms Museum copies for subsequent turns. Like Infernoble Knight Ogier , Maugis's second effect allows him to equip himself to a Warrior as an Equip Spell, protecting that monster on the field from being destroyed by battle. This is also another way to activate the effect of Angelica, Princess of Noble Arms.
It's important to note that after using this effect, you can only Summon Warrior Monsters for the rest of the turn.
Joyeuse is the searchable version of " The Warrior Returning Alive ". This is a great tool to reclaim combo pieces from the effect of " Infernoble Knight Ogie r" or use for the next steps in the combo. When Joyeuse is sent from the field to the grave with the equipped monster, you can Special Summon a Fire-Warrior Monster from your hand. Unlike Durendal, you are not limited to only summoning a Warrior after activating this effect.
In theory, this is a card that helps us OTK quite well, because our monsters have quite high Atk, so when using this card, we will be punched 2 times. However, the downside is that other cards will not be able to attack. Maybe it's not worth wasting 1 slot of my deck.
"Heritage of the Chalice" acts as the 3rd " Reinforcement of the Army " card. Chalice can take any "Noble Knight" or "Noble Arms" card from the Deck OR Graveyard (GY). This is a great way to search for Normal Summon, Extender and even " Noble Arms Museum " cards. Additionally, if a "Noble Knight" monster is sent to the Graveyard while equipped with a "Noble Arms" card (e.g. Durendal), you can return Chalice from the graveyard to your hand.
Popular support items for Warrior
Konami has released a lot of support cards for Warriors and it works quite well when included in Infernoble Knight
Extender summons itself like Cyber Dragon . At the same time, it can also be searched by "Infernoble Arms - Durendal" and when we have Noble Arms Museum on the field, this card will become quite formidable at 2500 Atk, especially when facing Link 3 Apollousa, Bow of the Godness .
Easily searchable through "Infernoble Arms - Durendal", Fire Flint Lady will summon you for free as long as you have a Warrior monster on the field. An Extender is very useful in extending combos or protecting them with a second effect, used to Summon combo support cards like Infernoble Knight Ricciardetto in cases where you have that card in your Open hand.
2 copies of this card will help you perform a full combo
Neo Space Connector is always recognized as one of the best Normal Summon cards in this game. It is capable of 1 card Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights by summoning Aqua Dolphin.
Aqua Dolphin also has a rather lewd effect, peeking at the enemy's hand and can destroy a monster whose Atk is less than the Atk of the monster on your field. From there we can avoid hand traps as well as have all the information and anticipate the opponent's moves.
Connector + Any Extender is enough to finish most matches.
The best Monster of the deck when it has both abilities: Non-target Remove and Negate Monster effect. Search by Isolde and Captain Roland for the next turn, or Ogier + Renaud to have the ability to punch back the handtrap early.
Angelica, Princess of Noble Arms can also send IPG to the grave to install it on the Endboard. The more IPG cards in the deck, the easier turn 2 will be, but you don't have to give them too many.
New Infernoble cards
Turpin is our newest combo expansion card. When you control a monster equipped with an Equip Spell, you can Special Summon him from your hand OR Graveyard. If you choose to Summon him from the Graveyard, Turpin will be banned when he leaves the field.
Ricciardetto functions is also one of our new combo pieces. When Summoning Ricciardetto, you can also Special Summon a Fire Warrior from your Graveyard. However, once you use this effect, you are locked to Special Summon only .
This guy's second effect allows you to Summon Fire Warrior monsters from your hand as a Tuner by banishing Ricciardetto from your hand or Graveyard.
"As a versatile Equipped Spell, Almace can perform many functions during your turn. While on the field, you can destroy Almace to exchange it for another 'Infernoble Arms' from your Deck or Graveyard, return It's basically like bonus copies of other 'Infernoble Arms' cards.
- The first effect allows you to add any 'Noble Arms' card from the Main Deck to your hand, including Extenders and cards for the next turn.
- The second effect only applies after you have successfully searched for a card using the first effect, which is the ability to Special Summon a 'Noble Knight' monster from the Spell/Trap zone. This ability alone does a lot on its own, allowing you to bypass many forms of Disruption while NOT being limited to One Per Turn. The more copies of Museum you have, the more your cards will be guaranteed to go smoothly.
Archetype's first new Extra Deck card was recently added. When Summoned, Angelica can search ANY card that mentions ' Infernoble Knight Emperor Charles ', including ' Noble Arms Museum '. In addition, she can also search for the difficult trap card mentioned above: ' Horn of Olifant '.
Equip Spell cards
These are the cards you would send with Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knight or Infernoble Knight Captain Roland. They can then be retrieved using Infernoble Knight - Renaud's effect.
During the End Phase, the effect of Infernoble Knight Emperor Charles will be activated to Equip an Equip Spell from your Graveyard and a Fire-Warrior monster from the Main Deck. After the recent update, this is the best card you can equip with this effect . As long as Charles has an Equip Spell equipped in EndPhase, you can equip Angelica's Ring to him. This card works quite similarly to Magician's Right Hand as it allows you to Negate the first Spell your opponent activates during the turn.
A Package you can put in , it will reward us with an equipment card that can be used in many different ways throughout the combo.
Send 'Cursed Bamboo Sword to the Grave through the effect of ' Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights ,' you can add 'Broken Bamboo Sword to your hand from the main deck. You can then use it as a cost for Infernoble Knight Oliver or use it to fulfill the requirements of the effects Infernoble Knight Turpin or Angelica, Princess of Noble Arms
OCG version of Divine Sword - Phoenix Blade , can be used instead of 2 Bamboo cards. Gearblade has the same purpose as Bamboo Sword and also gives you a formidable OTK ability
Extra Deck
Unlike previous versions of Infernoble Knights, the Extra Deck is now quite flexible. There is now a lot of room for strong common Extra monsters in the meta. In this section, we will only cover the required cards in Extra. You can feel free to add any leaves you see fit.
In previous years, we often used Roland as a bridge to Synchro climb to Charles. That's still true now, I will Summon Roland using the effect of ' Angelica, Princess of Noble Arms '. However, summoning Roland this way does NOT count as a Synchro Summon. Therefore, we will accept the loss of the search effect in the endphase of this guy.
With the appearance of ' Emperor Charles the Great ', this uncharged Charles is no longer part of our End Board. Instead, this fellow is now used as a Link Material for a stronger version of himself. You can Summon this card from 'Noble Arms Museum' to use it as a punching meat at quite high cx, but it's better to turn him into more copies of 'Great Charles' or even ' Baronne de Fleur '.
Infernoble Knight Laundsallyn is used in VERY SPECIFIC circumstances to aid in reaching ' Immortal Phoenix Gearfried ' early. Otherwise, it is very rare for us to Summon Laundsallyn because 'Angelica, Princess of Noble Arms' is superior to this card in every aspect. Laundsallyn is not a must-have card in the deck, but perhaps it still has a certain place more than some cards.
Xyz Rank 4 is used in certain situations to support various combos. Artorigus is used for a 1-card combo with Connector. Artorigus has the secondary effect of destroying non-target Spells/Traps on the field equal to the number of Equipped 'Noble Arms' you control, allowing you to clear troublesome backrows before starting your combo.
Isolde is the reason why this deck appears here. This couple can do almost everything in the game. When traveling with Infernoble Knight. Isolde will help you start combos by filling your grave with important Equip Spells and can summon all kinds of Warriors in the world. Usually we will summon Infernoble Knight Ogier or Infernoble Knight Ricciardetto to start the dance, but it depends on the hand, remember to look at the hand and choose the appropriate card.
Promethean Princess is the newest thing added to the deck, this is an exclusive card for OCG/MD, meaning there is no way for us to try experimenting with this girl in the TCG (Trading Card Game). In Master Duel, we can use Promethean to set up quite a few additional interactions, something that is not possible in the TCG. She is also useful later in the combo by Special Summoning powerful Fire monsters like Immortal Phoenix Gearfried and Charles. Note that while she is on the field, you can only Special Summon Fire monsters.
Bow in this deck will act as a protector for your combo to go smoothly in case your hand has enough materials to summon both this card and Angelica. Diabellstar the Black Witch is the most common way to set up this combo.
Diabellstar Engine
This is a great Extender that summons itself by sending 1 card from your hand or field to the grave. This effect will not create a Chain. When first summoned, Diabellstar will set a "Sinful Spoils" card from the deck, this effect will set up Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye, which we will use to extend the combo even longer.
This card acts as additional copies of Diabellstar. With the advantage of a quick spell, we can activate it right in the draw phase to avoid the effect of Droll & Lock Bir d. The second effect is simply to return 1 "Sinful Spoil" from the grave to the deck, then draw 1 (brings quite a bit of advantage).
An interesting extender card, putting cards like Noble Arms Museum, Infernoble Knights in Spell/Trap Zone or even Diabellstar itself would be the best ways to make cost for this card.
This card also has an effect in the grave, which is to search for any level 1 Fire monster. However, unlike Wanted, it cannot activate the search effect the same turn it uses the first effect.
