As you all may or may not know, Lavals are a very good deck that have done quite well in the OCG. Being only 1 card away from being completely TCG legal, I feel it appropriate to discuss some of the lesser-known cards that they can utilize.
Dustflame Blast - An interesting card, given that Lavals benefit from having cards in the grave. Some may say "Laval Lakeside Lady does just as good a job as this card, why is it even a choice?" The simple fact is that Lakeside can only hit Set cards, while Dustflame hits anything on the field. This isn't to say that it has no drawbacks, you MUST banish all Laval monsters in your grave. This DOES include Lavalval monsters, such as Lavalval Chain, Lavalval Dragon, and Lavalval Ignis. Using this card with a full grave is not recommended at all, and when utilized with minimal Lavals in the grave, can really throw the tempo in your favor. Cannons can reuse banished Lavals, but you only have 3 at the maximum, and you should not get into a situation where you will drag out the duel. Ideal targets are bosses like Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En (Handle carefully, the negation will stop Dustflame AND cost you all of your Lavals) and Evilswarm Ophion (His inborn ability to grab Infestation Pandemic Infection is a bother), cards that could make WOMBO COMBOS (Like Wind-up Magician, monsters with the potential to Synchro Summon, or a card like Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon that can summon/cause chaos), and any troublesome set cards that could disrupt plays. (Such as Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter, set Traps, Snowman Eater, etc.) As a side note, Starlight Road and The Huge Revolution is Over can't touch this card, as there's no guarantee you'll destroy more than one card.
Overall, Dustflame is a good card to make that final/initial push, but still has a big cost. Consider your options before you add this card.
