Neo-Flamvells

As per request, I'll take a look at the Neo-Flamvell monsters. Have been meaning to get around to this for a while now.

Overall, the Neo Flamvell monsters are another array of quirky effect which can be toolboxed via the broken Flamvell Firedog and Rekindling. Shaman, Garuda, and Hedgehog provide solid Graveyard disruption, while Sabre can be a pseudo-Cyber Dragon in the early game.

Hedgehog is definitely the most notable of the bunch; it's a level 3 Tuner which can easily supplant Flamvell Archer in the typical Flamvell lineup. It also has some spicy combos with Goka, the Pyre of Malice; you can use Goka's effect, i.e. destroying Hedgehog by an effect, to effectively toolbox any of the Flamvell monsters from your Graveyard. I can see potential in a build with Rykos, Card Trooper, etc., and maybe even Mezuki/Book of Life/Pyramid Turtle to further support Goka itself.

The Neo Flamvells also come with Ancient Flamvell Deity, a 200 DEF Synchro which also disrupts the Graveyard and can be revived by Rekindling. Overall, the theme is a solid contribution to an already solid theme, and another indication that Rekindling itself will likely need to hit the list sometime in the near future. It's just a ridiculous card that will only grow in power with each passing set.

Funny how that FIRE, once a scoffed-at attribute, is now arguably the best attribute in YGO.
