Seed of Flame, a Level 3 Fire monster, yet also a
Plant, a bit ironically, as Fire tends to destroy
most plants. Anyway, this card has 1600 attack,
which is almost respectable, and a fairly solid 1200
defense.
Now, here we have a decent card, with an equally
decent effect, but must be triggered by being
destroyed by a card effect, not by Battle, and your
opponent will do that, and either not care, and do
it anyway, or simply destroy it by Battle.
Anyway, IF destroyed by an effect, you get to
Special Summon a Plant type monster that is Level 4
or lower aside from Seed of Flame, which is good,
and you get a semi-useless Seed Token that you
cannot use as a Tribute.
Cactus Fighter closes the week, and he can be a
FIghter, appropriately of the Earth attribute, and
Level 4, with a very impressive 1900 attack and a
not so great 400 defense...did you guess that a
monster with Cactus in it's name would be a Plant?
If this card destroys an opponent's Monster, which
he most likely will with the reliable attack of
1900, you can Special Summon a Needle Token to your
opponent's side of the Field in defense position.
Your opponent can sacrifice them, which is not a
good thing...but, Plants like to play with Tokens.
They can burn with them, tribute some of their own,
but it's not a game-breaking effect or anything, but
still a reliable beatstick.

Seed of Flame
This little guy is not as good as the all stars of
Cactus Fighter and Gigantic Cephalotus. He is weaker
and his effect is good, but not great. In fact, many
people will play only a single copy of Cephalotus or
Cactus Fighter anyway. There is no real reason to
run this card at the moment. I can see it being
better as PLants move away from a deoendance on
Black Garden, but until then, it is not very good.

Seed of Flame is another card that can reborn a
plant from the grave, but in this case, your
opponent gets a token and the monster you reborn
must be a level 4 or lower plant. Lord Poison also
reborns a plant from the grave, but it can be any
plant. Another thing that Lord Poison has over Seed
of Flame is that it can be search out by Sangan.
Also when it is destroyed because of an effect, your
opponent gets a token they can't tribute. It may be
a little burden, but people would rather go for a
direct attack. Its like giving your opponent a Necro
Gardna to defend with.
In a Black Garden deck, this would be half bad.
Normal summon Seed of Flame while Black Garden is on
the field, your opponent gets a token and you have a
Seed of Flame at 800 ATK. With that its 1600 ATK
total of plants on the field, destroy Black Garden
and special summon two Botanical Lions. One because
of Black Garden and the other because of Seed of
Flame. There are still better options than Seed of
Flame, a card that doesn't deserve the rarity it was
given.

Seed of Flame!!
Card doesnt look like much ... but 1600 ATK with
1200 DEF off a 3-star monster aint too shabby in it
of itself. Add to that its effect of special
summoning a monster if its destroyed by a card
effect and sent to the graveyard, and this card gets
so much cuter! You dont even need to wait for your
opponent to do it, you can nuke your own field
*cough* Torrential *cough*, and get your special
summon. If that's not enough, u then get to clog
your opponents field with worthless monsters that
they can't tribute off the field. What should that
mean to you? - it means that as much as this seed
spices up the oh-so-already-spicey-as-of-late Plant
Deck, he now has potential to wreck shop in other
decks too. I've seen him fit nicely into Fire Decks,
and I can see someone crafting a Lock Down deck with
this dude's talents.
Versatility does NOT suck folks, and it rocks like
crazy in Yu-Gi-Oh.
I've faced this guy. I've seen what he can do. I am
a fan.
