Ponix + High Garunix

This opening hand offers a pretty powerful line that ends on a Hyang setup, with Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames and Fire King Avatar Arvata in your GY, allowing for a very flexible interruption sequence during the opponent's turn.

That said, be aware that this line does play into Nibiru, the Primal Being. We are able to recover and end on Fire King High Avatar Garunix with Promethean Princess in GY, however it's a much weaker endboard.

If you're certain your opponent runs Nibiru in their deck, it might be wiser to perform the Ponix + any FIRE Beast, Beast-Warrior or Winged Beast line instead.


This combo plays into Nibiru, the Primal Being - read the section at the end for more details on how to recover.

Under Mulcharmy Fuwalos, your opponent draws 2 cards.

Steps

  1. Normal Summon Legendary Fire King Ponix.
  2. Activate Ponix: add Fire King Sanctuary from your Deck to your hand.
  3. Activate Sanctuary: place Fire King Island in the Field Zone.
  4. Link Summon Salamangreat Almiraj.
  5. Activate Island: destroy Fire King High Avatar Garunix, then add Sacred Fire King Garunix from your Deck to your hand.
  6. Activate Sacred: Special Summon it from your hand.
  7. Activate Sacred again: destroy Fire King Avatar Arvata in your Deck.
  8. Activate Arvata: Special Summon Ponix from the GY.
  9. Link Summon Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames.
  10. Activate Promethean Princess: Special Summon Arvata from the GY.
  11. Pass turn.

Opponent's turn

  1. In the Standby Phase, activate High Garunix: Special Summon it from the GY,
  2. Activate High Garunix again: destroy all other monsters on the field.
  3. Do not activate Sacred's effect here! Instead, activate Arvata: Special Summon Sacred from the GY.
If Nibiru hits

Nibiru will remove Promethean Princess and Arvata before High Garunix can destroy them, meaning you are unable to get to the Hyang setup.

Instead, your first interruption will now be Promethean Princess destroying High Garunix, and then in the next chain, you must also activate Sacred's effect to revive itself.

Sacred must then destroy Fire King High Avatar Kirin, which will Special Summon High Garunix, and destroy a card.

This basically forces you to use two interruptions at once, leaving you with Garunix Eternity, Hyang of the Fire Kings as your last.
