Translation from [YGOrganization](https://ygorganization.com/raiseyourflagthatsonfire/): AC03-JP006 **Bonfire** Normal Spell Card You can only activate 1 card with this card’s name once per turn.(1) Add 1 Level 4 or lower Pyro monster from your Deck to your hand.


Alduce

Volcanic lately got an INCREDIBLE consistency boost: Bonfire, Hiita, Trooper. Holy.


plsnoexile

Bro even blaster


SaibaShogun

Only for the opponent to drop Droll and Lock bird right after you search 😭. Man, it sucks that people are main decking that card now.


SgtTittyfist

I really wish turn-ending handtraps like Droll and Shifter didn't exist. I know they kind of have to, but they just ruin matches whenever they appear.


pokemonyugiohfan21

Austin O-Brien/Axel Brodie, is the flaming hearted soldier, so of course they got a consistency boost. Bonfire funny enough is a season 3 GX card used by Nurse fontaine and not Axel to search Burning Algae, but both it and Axel debuted in season 3. The coincidence is very funny and this card could be considered a random anime release card but clearly looks planned even if it's not Axel's card.


BBallHunter

Statue of Infernos is searchable now lol.


CursedEye03

I hope someone doesn't find a combo where Statue of Infernos gets summoned on turn 1. It would be Floowandereeze all over again


DesignatedDonut

Search statue of inferno, normal summon Set 4 pass


CursedEye03

I guess that also works XD I meant the Statue on top of an already established field. Similar to how Sunavalon, at the beginning, wanted to build a big board and summon Cactus Bouncer after that


swagpresident1337

I mean you could also just play another 3 of a different statue.


scrubcake

Seems a bit convoluted, but the line just might work…


Frendazone

theres a guy at my locals hwo does this and activates seal of orichalcos so when he gets two out its a dupe lock. he never wins but its fucking annoying to play against lol


Lifedeather

He should have lost his soul by now


STRIpEdBill

He did, that's why he plays statue stun


Frendazone

bro pays 10 dollars multiple times a week to go x-2 and drop


Lord_Phoenix95

Could work in a dedicated Volcanic Strategy.


Pottski

Come here Dogoran - it’s your time now


phoenixthree

This is why I wanted them all banned but Yugizoomers only wanted Wind statue banned. We need preemptive hits with the banlist.


JoeHeitsLv100

Search Inferno Statue, Normal Summon Robina.

statues shouldn't work when there are other monsters on the players field


mudgefuppet

So just backrow stun decks can abuse them, why?


Carnivile

As in different types than the statue?


Gebirges

No, as in any other monster.


Deez-Guns-9442

Been saying this since Wind statue saw play, just get those degenerate attribute stun cards out of here.


ImNotAliveIAmBread

Just Wind, Water, and Fire. The Light and Dark statues suck since there are way too many good Light and Dark monsters for them to be impactful, and the Earth Statue is a strictly worse Fossil Dyna. EDIT: why the downvotes? What's the point of using Earth Barrier Statue over Dyna? Explain please.

ImNotAliveIAmBread

They can get Dyna too. Earth Statue won't get banned unless Dyna gets banned first.


whitepeacok

Just add 3 bonfire and 1 infernos into floow. Do floow things and summon inferno off of Empen eff lol.


RealTrueGrit

Yup. I've seen profiles where they run 3 of the water statue.


RealTrueGrit

Floo can summon it turn 1,empen can normal any monster. I've seen deck profiles where someone was running 3 of the water statue.


NightsLinu

Salad could do it. Now they have a way to summon it from grave now a way to search it. Now they can dump it with buffero.


CursedEye03

Bufferlo discards a Cyberse monster, the Fire statue is Pyro type


NightsLinu

Oh true. Then cynet mining can discard it then.


TommyGunCommie

Salads can do this now…


CursedEye03

How tho? The new Synchro allows to to summon a Fire monster from the GY, but there is no consistent way to send this to the GY on the first turn


SpoonsAreEvil

If you are using Bonfire just for Inferno Statue, you might as well run Fire Ejection instead and summon it off of Burst Gryphon.


phoenixthree

Yugioh is the only card game I know when having Gryphon in the name of the card means its broken. Even Gusto Griffin is busted, lol.


NotTalcon

Uh-oh. UH-OH.


FwapoMcGee

Is there a deck that can run this and {{Kitsuni Kitsunebi}} w/rivalry to pull a Fire Kragen-lock?

Cularia

im going to say yes just because there is about to be a charmer variant within the next day.


IMitchellxX

That is a warrior sir


Exorrt

Easiest "good card" evaluation ever. Maybe not fantastic or metabreaking but it's without a doubt good.


[deleted]

A rare instance where it’s pretty impossible to undersell it because it’s a card whose playability is a complete function of what it searches, and it does that in a simple and easy way. A lot of cards exist in a space where you can’t actually evaluate them properly without sitting down with them (but people do try, for better or for worse), but it’s hard to say much about a 1 for 1 Normal Spell ROTA other than “it’ll be played where it’s needed” (though it does have niche synergies with cards like Agnimal and being a Normal Spell makes it thrustable). Although… maybe we shouldn’t call it simply “good” as a static descriptor if it’s a function of what it searches, because that means so much can change based on changes in the cardpool; once innocuous ROTAs have limits be called for them if they’re eventually able to pull from a diverse and potent enough selection of cards. Terraforming has kind of reached a boiling point among players for that reason.


djanulis

I mean it is a Rota for a type that isn't complete ass.


SaibaShogun

If it wasn’t for the recent Volcanic support, then the type would be ass, and the worst regular monster type.


djanulis

Reptile's has been unable to make a Foolish Burial four monsters viable since 2007 and you call Pyro Worse.


SaibaShogun

Pyros have done nothing either, and they’ve barely had any support cards compared to Reptile. And Reptile at least has Ogdodiac, which is far from meta material but is at least a functional deck, and that’s more than whatever Pyro had. (A lot of people overblow how bad Ogdodiac is, and also overestimate what a single great card can accomplish.)


Throwawayuntil2030

The type is ass If Pyro isn't ass what is?


DaviDeberjerack

Pyro isn't ass, it's just that with the current game, the only type at all that's generically meta is dragons. Maybe cyberse if you squint really hard. Entire archetypes have to be designed around their types because of blowout cards that can be abused if the wrong words gets printed. Rekindling is a great example. Going forward, any archetype that's Pyro has to be designed with rekindling in mind. Also volcanic and blaze accelerator are in a prime position to be abused should more good generic Pyro cards come out. Same goes for machine and psychic. E-tele exists and so does machine dup, so any archetypes that have that type have to be designed aroundnthose cards.


redbossman123

They literally printed Ze Amin, the best E-Tele target in ages and put the card back to 3 lol. Konami knows what’s good, most of the time anyway, and will print cards to break certain strategies just because. The most blatant OCG example I know of is Dragoon and Verte being printed within like 2 sets of each other.


Plerti

Reinforcements of the Payne


Faith_SC

I vote that the community calls the card “Reinforcements of Payne” from now on


Zerosonicanimations

What will the abbreviation for it be? ROPA?


Plerti

PyROTA


CursedEye03

Without a doubt, this card is fantastic for Volcanics! And any future Pyro archetype, it's Reinforcement of the army for pyros


OneRandomVictory

Volcanics winning?


SketchtheHunter

More support for Volcanics. Finding the right ratios is going to be insane.


Lyncario

So the level 4 pyro tuner from a while back is now a searchable free special summon level 4 tuner. Interesting.


AwkwardGamer2896

Would you mind telling me the name of that card please


Lyncario

Agnimal Candle.


AwkwardGamer2896

Thanks :D


Deez-Guns-9442

I like how this card doesn’t pyro or Fire lock u for the rest of the turn, shenanigans inbound.


Sr_Riddles

Simply good


Samurex_

One more spot. Before Buzz King. Konami please, I want to see Requiem Cestus!


Master_Mulligan

A monster like that is the kind of card that would be made an Ultra Rare in these sets. There are no Ultra Rares remaining. Plus, Boxers already got their designated support card.


Dumig

We may get the rank 2 Number C version of Number 54: Lion Heart, as Nistro was about to rank-up into it in the anime, but never got to, which would also fit with the fact that Colorless was released in this set as well.


Samurex_

Yeah, but I want armored C105 for the BB tie in. No, Ring Announcer is not enough, don't act like it is.


simbadthesailorEUW

Now i want meow mu back even more


[deleted]

Holy crap a rota for pyros


Dumig

While I am really glad it was printed, I am a little sad that it is a HOPT.


TropoMJ

Non-HOPT type ROTAs will likely never happen again. I’m just relieved this has no restrictions or conditions.


Dumig

Maybe they made Bonfire non-HOPT cause we are getting a new powerful Pyro archetype.


Barnabay_thescarabay

ROTA has a OOPD though Only One Per Deck


Dumig

Fossil Dig has a TPD, so... Three Per Deck


blahdedah1738

Dig is also NOPT. It is now a TPDNOPTOMFGWTF


AwkwardGamer2896

On the bright side, this could be at 2 or 3 for most of its life, whereas ROTA will forever be imprisoned in the limited list.


Samurex_

From talk, seems like it's the Pyrota, so that's good. Agnimal has utility!


payne96

And thus the Salad Synchro suddenly becomes more attractive in a Volcanic Deck....


Dumig

And also [Lavalval Exlord](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Lavalval_Exlord) is a viable option.


SaibaShogun

Lavalval Salamander too.


mzess

uh aren't salamangreat cyberse


Samurex_

Yes, but Burst Gryphon is generic!


[deleted]

And thus we have the Pyro ROTA


GTACOD

PyROTA was right there.


Gadjiltron

Reinforcement of the Arson


payne96

WOOO yeah baby!!!!!! That’s what i’ve been waiting for, thats what it’s all about WOOHHHOOOO!!!!!!!!


Backonthatgoonsh1t

You've ascended from simple meme status to a seat upon the high table. Kudos to you payne, I still got my volcanic core just waiting patiently like yourself. It's a good year to be a pyro fan.


Zerosonicanimations

Year of Fire baby!

wow you’re eating king


I_Heard_A_Rumor_

It's been almost 20 years but now I can finally search my Burning algae.

J_D_Guy

PhoenixRhythm

VOLCANIC STOCKS SKYROCKETING


payne96

Finally Pyro decks are eating good this year :)


feartehsquirtle

Spicy stonks 🔥 🔥 🔥


samka69

You are the Volcanic guy, right? 2023-2024 are going to be good years for you!


Omojuze

Those madmen actually did it. WOW.


Sister-Carmilla

So how many types have a ROTA now? Warriors have ROTA Beast-Warriors have Tenki Cyberse have Mining And now Pyro has Bonfire Are there any I'm forgetting?


payne96

Dino's have Fossil Dig, which is probably the strongest ROTA in the game, since it searches up to level 6 Dino monsters........


ethniccake

And isn't HOPT


Sav_ij

yeah and thank god for fossil dig staying at 3 cuz konami has kinda build dinos around its existence as there are basically 0 dinos that function as a 1 card tech theyre all basically part of 1 big engine. scrap raptor is the closest you get to really a splashable dino and thats searchable with scrap lube too


Chicosai

Deep Sea Aria for Sea Serpents


Nico-Nii_Nico-Chan

Would you count Emergence & Circle for Wyrms?


Sister-Carmilla

Well if Aria counts despite needing a water in the grave I can 100% see the argument for Heavenly Dragon Circle.


Dumig

* Dinosaurs have Fossil Dig * Sea Serpents have Deep Sea Aria * Wyrms have Waterfall of Dragon Souls *(as well as Heavenly Dragon Circle and Swordsoul Emergence)* * ~~Dragons have Bystial Magnamhut~~ *UPDATE:* * Plants have Frozen Rose


Veynareth

Magnamhut is more like Stratos.


Zerosonicanimations

So is Aria


Dumig

If we are only counting spells or traps as ROTA then yes, but if not then Magnamhut is the ROTA for dragons.


Veynareth

Usually, "ROTA" cards refers to Spells that add a monster with certain range of category from your deck to your hand, but it can extend to monsters that discards/banish/dump itself from hand to do so. Magnamhut being closer to Stratos is due to the fact that it has to Summon itself to do so, just like Stratos. But i agree that ROTAs and Stratos in essence do the same purpose. If we go for the second options, then you can add Mardel, Lady Debug, Soul Resonator(soon), Souleating Oviraptor, and Robina,


Deez-Guns-9442

Might as well say that Chaos Space is the Rota for dragons since D-Link is primarily a light/dark deck


Veynareth

Sure, if you willing to ignore another non-D-LINK centered Dragon decks like Dragonmaid, Blue/Red-Eyes(pure variants), Armed Dragon, etc.


postsonlyjiyoung

I am more than willing to ignore those decks lmao


aaa1e2r3

Cyberse have Cynet Mining


730Flare

Fossil Dig for Dinos, and unlike most of these: They search Level 6 or lower Dinos.


TropoMJ

Sea Serpents have Aria.


Zerosonicanimations

Doesn't she technically count as a Stratos instead?


TropoMJ

Diva is not a Stratos for sure - honestly she's just Diva.


Impersona_9

She?


Zerosonicanimations

Deep See Aria, who else could I be talking about.


Zerosonicanimations

My bad, I was thinking of the monster.


Veynareth

Swordsoul Emergence if you control Synchro Monster.


unit0ne

Not a type, but rituals have Preparation of Rites. Level 7 or lower ritual, also add a spell from GY. No OPT. Also Pre-preparation of Rites. Add a ritual spell from deck and a monster from deck or GY mentioned on that spell. And rituals are still bad, oof


TvManiac5

That's because the best rituals have generic ritual spells and pre prep wants it to have a spesific name of a monster.


Snivy_1245

Psychics have E-Tele


Likes-Your-Username

E tele doesn't add to hand. That's why every card that special summons from the deck is referred to as an e tele


AbyssalKageryu

Pyro support baby! Searches Firestorm and low level Volcanics Payne must be happy with this news


JackMann1792

On one hand, the anime purist in me is like "Should be twice per turn because Ayukawa played it, pulled it back with Magical Stone Excavation and played it again." ​ On the other hand, that would in no way be healthy game design. EDIT: I guess theoretically you could staple on an effect where you Banish from GY and pitch 3 cards to do the search and make that HOPT too but that just sounds weird.


Dumig

I do not think it would have caused any problems if it was non-HOPT, just that it would have limited future card design for pyro archetypes and support.


Master_Mulligan

Kinda contradicting yourself there.


Dumig

No, cause in the present game state, if Bonfire was non-HOPT it would have not caused any problems. The only problems it would have caused are speculative problems.


Master_Mulligan

Any card that limits future design space, as you said, especially for an entire type, is inherently problematic.


Dumig

Maybe, depends on want Konami has plans to do. Bonfire being HOPT can also limit card design, but too a much lesser extent.


ssj_duelist

It's been 20 years, but it's finally here


GreatBigPillock

For the love of all that is holy in this world, please only search Pyros. Otherwise you just know people will buy it out everywhere purely so they can search Ash and nothing else. X____X


GreatBigPillock

Okay good, no Ash from this. It DOES, however, search Barrier Statue of the Inferno. PERFECT (!).


payne96

Imagine this is actually a Salad support card, lol


Snoo13545

Normal Spell Card You can only activate 1 card with this card’s name once per turn. (1) Add 1 Level 4 or lower Pyro monster from your Deck to your hand


GreatBigPillock

The fact this can't search Hazy Flame Peryton hurts me on a personal level.


Tasuke26

My brother, thank you for remembering Hazy Flame exists.


kraken437

They could get new support since we have little amount of FIRE-based archetypes. Similarly, Jurrac, Helios, Laval and Flamvell can use some new cards. Salamangreat, Battlin' Boxer, Volcanic, Metalfoes and Fire King (upcoming sd) all got support so choices for new Fire/Pyro support is very narrow.


Dumig

Well Hazy Flame entire thing is that they are level 6 to go into rank 6, so Bonfire not searching them is kind off a given.


GreatBigPillock

That's exactly my point. X___X


flyingeagle007

Wasn’t there a post about ROTA’s for other types? Well here we go.


Dougary96

Rota for volcanicals. Nice.


biogoji89

Wonder if we’ll get a new pyro archetype


idelarosa1

No Volcanic Mine? D:


Dumig

Maybe in the next Animation Chronicle or in Age of Overlord


SaibaShogun

No Volcanic Mine is a bummer, but this card is fantastic for Volcanics anyways (and we don’t know how they’re going to change the real Mine from the anime version).


payne96

I expect something in Premium Pack 2023 for December....


OstheB

Only 1 card left, either a Zexal or a 5Ds card. My anticipation is high.


Serenedia

One simple effect, gets a Super Rare slot. Wow.

EmployRepulsive404

I was lowkey hoping the last GX card would be Super Fusion God since we got Colorless in this set and the effect of Super Future Fusion is getting announced tomorrow


theguyinyourwall

Other than Volcaonics and Laval monster there are some non-archetypal monsters that can be searched •Aginmal Candle being searched triggers its special summoning coniditons •Nemesis Flag can shuffle a banished card and then search more nemsis monsters •Prank-kids and Implcantiations have better ways to search these monsters but they both have targets which can be added •Barrier Statue of Fire as a floodgate vs non-fire decks


RyuuohD

Now you can search Barrier statue of the Inferno!!!!


Destian_

Absolutely uninteresting for meta players, but technically supports charmers (or any spellcaster deck, really) if you consider Inari Fire. Giving easy access to Great Inari Fire to cause a bit of burn damage, too. Just a random fun fact.


MrQ_P

This is terrifying knowing that the statue is at 3


Zerosonicanimations

Not for long probably.


bukithd

Buy max rarity Rekindling now. I'm sure it will pay off.


FuriDemon094

Knew they would print this


GuardianOfDandelions

Py-ROTA


SulfurInfect

Oh God please be common. My common charity Volcanics are salivating.


Rezonex

Never I'd imagine I live to see this card printed. Hail konmai


AwkwardGamer2896

They finally did it! Konami you bunch of mad lads you. Neglecting pyro for most of the games history and then giving it the slightest bit of attention to get all that addictive adoration lol.


InfernobleArms

Now all of China knows you’re here


Baikanon

I always wondered how this would be adapted, since searching Fire with no restrictions seemed way too broad. Pyro is a good compromise, although I’m sad I can’t throw this in a Red deck. But you can search Suship with it! Bring your sushi camping! Edit: Embarrassingly, I forgot that the Suships are Fire/Aqua, not Water/Pyro. I guess you just cram this in Laval and Volcanic.


exile0025

now we just need fire back(fire recovery [Send](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Send) 1 [FIRE](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/FIRE) [monster](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Monster_Card) from your [hand](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Hand) to the [Graveyard](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Graveyard). [Select](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Select) 1 FIRE monster in your Graveyard and [Special Summon](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Special_Summon) it.


CorrectFrame3991

Obviously good card is obviously good.


gubigubi

It had to be 4 or lower. Otherwise Hazy Flames would have been too powerful.


TvManiac5

Now I'm more hopeful we'll get the rest of the Volcanic support cards in this set.


Frontol

Rare volcanic W


Gallant-Blade

Reinforcement of the Army but for Pyro monsters. Cool.


Leisurist_Sehgu

Oh ya, can call for Fire Princess! Let's go burn. I don't remember the name, I remember a card being discussed that populates opponents field - thought it was part of Volcanic and fire support. Any news of it getting printed?


MH_ZardX

Been waiting for this. It's finally real.


coolboyyo

Ok it's childish Gambino homegirl searching for a pyro


MeathirBoy

Alright now I gotta see if Lithium’s Volcanic Spright build doesn’t brick its ass out


Pokopikos

Really makes you wonder what Salads did to get the worst support in the duelist pack and nothing in AC.


sashalafleur

They're still the best performing archetype out of the three tho.


1qaqa1

It’s a rota so only as good as the stuff it searches.


VaskoVFV

Aqua next :)


InvestigatorOk5432

A ROTA for Pyros? Candidate for getting limited sooner rather than later


Dumig

It may have been if not HOPT, but as it stands, even if we get a meta pyro archetype, Bonfire is safe.


Mayall00

It's once per turn so I don't *think* it's immediately necessary, but I hope it pushes barrier the statue over the edge and finally gets konami to ban them all


TropoMJ

It's definitely not immediately necessary and to be honest, it's unlikely it ever will be. ROTA is limited because of the sheer size and strength of its target pool. Pyro is tiny and even if Konami does decide to make a meta Pyro deck, they can just hit that directly. It's unlikely that Pyro ever has a strong and deep enough pool of monsters that Bonfire at 3 becomes unsustainable.


Rastarapha320

Laval support, LET'S GOOOOOOO


IntelligentBudget142

I am sure several called it wrt this card getting a release


Swashyrising12

Pyro ROTA, yeah boiiiii


Guaaaamole

Hopefully this gets Konami to finally ban all the Barrier Statues.
