Shifting from Synchro to XYZ, we look at Infernal
Flame Vixen. We have a Fire attributed, Pyro
type, Rank 4 XYZ Monster, with 2200 attack 2000
defense, who can only be XYZ Summoned with two Level
4 Pyro Monsters. That's a bit of a setback, as
not all Fire Decks are going to be carrying a bunch
of Pyro Monsters. Also, being Rank 4 and only
having 2200 attack puts Infernal Flame Vixen pretty
easily overtaken by other XYZ Monsters of the same
Rank, but let's not hold that against this Monster,
at least not in the immediate beginning of the
review.
Now, once per turn, by discarding an XYZ Material
from this card, its attack is increased by 500
points, to 2700, which makes Infernal Flame Vixen
much more formidable However, this attack gain
is only until your opponent's End Phase. When
this card is destroyed, with 2500 or more attack,
you can target three Monsters in any Graveyard(s)
and remove them from play That's a useful
enough effect, but likely dependent on the attack
boosting effect of this card itself. I'm not
sure you need to be playing this in a Fire Deck,
whether you're capable of Summoning it or not.

There are two great effects that really make
Infernal Flame Vixen a good monster. First, it can
increase its attack to 2700 which is higher than
most of the monsters it will face. Second, it will
banish 3 monsters from ether graveyard. That could
be good or bad depending on how many monsters are in
your opponent’s graveyard. If they have less than 3
monsters then you have to banish the rest from your
grave. If there is less than 3 monsters combined in
both graves or one is removed before resolution,
then no monsters are removed. As most top tier decks
use the grave, the banishing effect could come in
handy.
The drawback to Infernal Flame Vixen, is that it
takes two level 4 Pyro monsters to summon it. I did
a look up on this type of monster and came up with
34 monsters. Out of those monsters, only Gem-Knights
(Garnet and Sardonyx), Volcanic (Rocket and Slicer),
and a combination type deck like Onslaught of the
Fire Kings with Molten Zombie, Neo Flamevell Sabre,
Royal Firestorm Guards, Spirit of Flames, and
Volcanic Rocket can summon this card.
It is almost like the last example is tailor made
for Infernal Flame Vixen. In a Fire King deck, you
could use their destruction effects to destroy your
own Vixen to get its effect to rob your opponent of
graveyard resources. With Gem-Knights, you could use
Rescue Rabbit to summon two Garnets to make Infernal
Flame Vixen.
Infernal Flame Vixen, has some pretty good effects,
but the Pyro monster restriction is going to limit
it to only a few decks. It is doubtful that you will
face this Xyz monster unless future sets give it
more support.

Today we will be covering a TCG exclusive xyz
monster that we recieved in Cosmo Blazer; that ties
in with the theme of the set. Let's take a look at
the incredibly hot Infernal Flame Vixen!
Infernal Flame Vixen
FIRE/ Pyro/ Rank 4
2 Pyro-Type Level 4 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from
this card; this card gains 500 ATK until your
opponent's End Phase. When this card with 2500 or
more ATK is destroyed: Target 3 monsters in any
Graveyard(s);banish those targets.
First off.... I have to say this was one of the
worst rares to pull at the sneak peek, haha. There
was barely any pyros in the set! Makes sense in a
pyro-based pack.... sigh....
Anyways, we have a pretty decent xyz. You can
detach a material to give it 2700 attack until the
end of your opponen't next turn. This makes it the
strongest rank 4, 2 material. Then, if they kill it,
you can banish 3 monsters in the graveyard.
If this was generic, it actually would be very
good. However, with the lack of the good pyros, this
isn't that great. The banish effect isn't that great
as well as the Vixen as to be at 2500+ to even get
the effect, meaning that you have to used the
effect.
Plus, what deck doesn't run Compulsory now-a-days
in order to get rid of xyz monsters? Counters don't
justify a card's effectiveness of course, but I want
to make that point that the second eff of Vixen will
not go off, unless your opponent doesn't mind it
going off.
Advanced: 2.0
Unless we get better Pyros, this card simply
won't be that great.
Traditional: 1.5
What Pyros monsters would you run here?

Infernal Flame Vixen
Fire/Pyro/Xyz/Effect/Rank4/2200/2000
2 Pyro-Type Level 4 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from
this card; this card gains 500 ATK until your
opponent's End Phase. When this card with 2500 or
more ATK is destroyed: Target 3 monsters in any
Graveyard(s); banish those targets.
Next up is Infernal Flame Vixen a Fire/Pyro Xyz
monster but it doesn’t have a burn effect. Instead
it has an attack gain effect, which will make it
2700 which is strong enough to take out a lot of
popular monsters. But that’s not all if this card is
destroy while it had 2500 or more ATK, you can
banish 3 monsters from any graveyard. It’s a alright
effect, maybe not game breaking but could disrupt
your opponent a bit. In fact the card does remind me
a bit of Infernal Flame Emperor.
Overall the ATk boost is good, but sadly it doesn’t
last and its second effect is solid but not really
game breaking
