I got 4 Solemns, yo.

There's a reason everybody is going crazy over "Infernity Barrier," and if you aren't, you should probably start.

Consider for a moment what the Infernity theme wishes to accomplish: empty its hand in order to overwhelm the opponent with field presence. Should the opponent survive this ordeal, the Infernity player has left themselves (relatively) vulnerable, having placed everything they have on the table, where it can easily be stripped away without the proper protection.

This protection is none other than "Infernity Barrier," a single answer to any threat, free of charge. Sounds good, no? There's no catch, either; its activation requirement only demands that you be following the basics of the theme, anyway (have an empty hand, have field presence). As such, it's no more troublesome to use than any other Infernity card, and you can even use 3 copies to make sure anything and everything you do is safe!

To state the obvious, Barrier is at your beck and call if you so much as draw it or Special Summon "Infernity Archfiend," and that Archfiend will in turn meet the requirements to activate Barrier. This only adds to its ease of use.

But that's not even the optimal situation! Barrier is at its strongest when backing "Infernity Doom Dragon" and whatever other cohorts you can muster - the more, the better. Adding "Stardust Dragon" to the list makes your setup next to impregnable...

If that isn't good, I don't know what is.

Of course, Barrier does have its blind spots. When you draw during your Draw Phase, Barrier goes offline until you can get that card out of your hand, so your opponent can use any disruptive options they want at that time, like "Intercept Wave" or "Compulsory Evacuation Device." Its need to have a face-up attack position Infernity monster is also exploitable. For example, "Book of Moon" and "Book of Eclipse" offer an ultimatum: Barrier them, or be unable to use Barrier against the real threats. Either option is bad news, so exercise discretion.

The deck will inevitably be visited by the Forbidden and Limited list at some point in the future, most likely to dismantle its easy OTK ability. After this happens, Infernity players will have to shift gears to a more control-oriented style, and it's my firm belief that "Infernity Barrier" is the reason the deck will survive and flourish in such an environment.

It looks so awesome, too. DOOM DRAGON SAYS NO!
