Pretty cool
Might be cool. Not sure if it’s worth being a legend, if the effect is the same it isn’t that good
Its level 9 meaning it has a good bit of protection. Besides we have vanilla legends
I would make the case that this monster well deserves its Legend status.
FIRE is the Attribute in this format with the most consistent millers. There are no short of 3 different FIRE Decks – Noodle, BBQ, and Chemistry – that want their monsters to be in the GY to either return them to the Deck or to recover from the GY. Even if you mill this card it can be used to meet the requirements of each Deck’s boss especially due to its high Level.
This card would already be Legend status as 2-Tribute non-Legends cap at 2500 ATK, but it won’t be functionally useless like Uminotaurus.
Well, here’s the reason why Legendary Sparkseed exists.
Infernal Flame Emperor, ironically, has some advantages in Rush Duels: there is infinite Normal Summon, it has extra protection for being Level 9 and it has an ATK of 2700 (higher than average)
Its Effect is a Backrow cleanse: something that is quite common to see and valuable in Rush Duels nowadays.
Sparkseed already had targets funny enough.
Pyro monarch and the two trib fodder
Infernal Flame Emperor is by far better than those other two Pyro Legends, especially since Sparkseed easily sets him up.
I imagine the cost will involve shuffling into the deck since banishing doesn’t exist
this didnt need to be a legend tbh. the restriction on summoning and high cost for effect really overbalance the 2700 atk.
but lets be real, rush duels trying to gaslight fans into thinking lv7-8 main deck mons cant be over 2500 without being legends has always been silly and needlessly restrictive.
Any non-Fusion monster above 2500 ATK is going to be a Legend by default. 2-Tribute Effect monsters cap at 2500 to begin with.
This one is also a level 9 btw.
Infernal Flame Emperor only restricts on not being able to be Special Summoned, and its requirement is a lot easier in Rush Duel due to its summon and mill mechanics. Especially in Chemistry, who can easily mill and draw through their entire Deck and constantly gets new support every set.
It was a structure deck boss monster being the second set of them in 2004-2005 with the uni deck. So it fair to be a legend since it was difficult to summon back then. Btw it and vampires and possibly invincible fortress and a few need more support
