Pyro

{{Var}} is a technical template allowing a default value to be specified if a given parameter is empty. This is useful because when a template uses something like {{{param|default}}}, and it is called with |param= (with no value given for param), the default value default will not be displayed.

Pyro monsters are almost always of the FIRE Attribute, and represent control over FIRE, or they may be an embodiment of fire itself. Their effects often involve the dealing of Effect Damage to the opponent.

Currently, there is no Field Spell Card designed especially for Pyro-Type Monsters, though the card "Molten Destruction" works to increase the ATK of FIRE monsters by 500.

Archetypes include the "Volcanic" monsters, the recently introduced "Flamvell", and the "Helios series" (although the latter tends to deal more with removing cards from play).

Some commonly used Pyro-Type monsters include "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames", Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch", "Fire Princess", "Volcanic Doomfire", "Infernal Flame Emperor", "Raging Flame Sprite", and "Tenkabito Shien".

Support cards include "Gaia Soul the Combustible Collective", "Solar Flare Dragon", "Royal Firestorm Guards", and "The Thing in the Crater".

Though powerful, Pyro-Type monsters are weak against cards such as "Oxygeddon", "Water Dragon", and "Umi".
