YugiohITP Match Thread: Mercenary Pen vs Strategos

[Strategos]

Sol Delacroix stood at one end of the almost empty duelling arena. He preferred the early mornings and the evenings to duel, as there were fewer people around who would be injured if he lost control. He took a couple of long deep breaths, put on his smile and turned to his opponent. "I am sorry for the delay, I had to make sure I was properly prepared."

[Strategos]

"Shall we begin then?"

I shall begin by activating Heavy storm, clearing both our back lines of spells and traps. I shall then activate the spell card Monster Reborn to revive a copy of Serene Psychic Witch. I thn normal summon Psychic Jumper, paying 1000 life points to swap my witch with your psychic snail. I then tune my jumper and your snail to synchro summon Psychic Nightmare. Using Psychic Nightmare's effect, I guess that the first card in your hand is a monster- if correct, Psychic Nightmare's attack increases by 1000 until the end phase.

Sol winces in pain and his eyes flash green, he takes several deep breaths and talks in between them "Ah... well done... I'd thought I'd get another turn... but it wasn't meant to be." His eyes stop flashing and he politely bows. "Thank you for the duel."

[Mercenary Pen]

Lucius Ignis stepped forward, surveying his surroundings. "So you seek to face me in a duel do you. Well, I am bored enough to grant your wish, so I hope you are grateful."

Aestrai scowls as he draws his card. "Of course, the one card I did not want to draw. That's always the way things go. Now, I shall have to do things the hard way. Since your control a monster and I don't, I'm allowed to cast my Assault of the Fire Kings (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Assault_of_the_Fire_Kings) spell to call forth a Fire King Beast Yaksha (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_King_Beast_Yaksha) from my deck. Then, though it pains me to use it this early, I Shall cast the Dark Hole spell card to destroy both our monsters. This allows me to trigger it's effect, destroying the Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Sacred_Phoenix_of_Nephthys) in my hand. Since a Fire King Monster was destroyed, I can call forth the Fire King Avatar Barong (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_King_Avatar_Barong).

"Firedog's effect only activates when it destroys a monster and I don't have any on the field so you won't be summoning your Inaribi. You can attack me with your Dog and your avatar, but I'll be left with 500 life points and one turn to draw the card I need. Unless, knowing this you'd like to make a different move?"

[Mercenary Pen]

"My mistake, make what little move you can. Unless you'd prefer to concede."

"I think I'll draw my card first, it could be just the one I need."

Draw: [roll0]

"But of course it isn't. All of my decks seem to hate me like that. Accursed phoenix, had you just stayed in the deck none of this would have happened. I... concede."

((OoC: Good Game! I was worried that having a 3/2/2 set of Yubels would clog up my hand and not allow me to draw my other monsters, but I only saw 2 bits all game and one of those was milled. :smalltongue: I might still cut it down to 3/1/1 though I'm not sure yet.))

(OOC: Iron Chain Dragon was actually a huge gamble on my part- I was terrified the whole of setting up Rekindling or Fire King Fire Cycle... I could also have done with another Lv6 Synchro, because that would have given me more options with Plaguespreader.)

"I'm going to activate my facedown, another E - Emergency Call, this time Adding Elemental Hero Bubbleman to my hand. Then I'll play Polymerization, fusing Stratos on my field with Bubbleman in my hand to make Elemental Hero Absolute Zero. Now the fun begins! I normal summon Elemental Hero Ice Edge, and activate his effect, discarding Atlantean Marksman to let him attack directly. Since Marksman went to the graveyard for a water monster's effect, he can take out your set card with him. And, since I have another water monster on the field, Zero's attack goes higher! Now, Ice Edge will attack you directly for 800 damage and Zero will destroy your Swap Frog. Then in my second Main Phase I'll play Fusion Recovery, bringing Polymerization and Stratos back to my hand. Your turn! "

"Oh cool! First off, I'm going to summon Debris Dragon, who gets my King of the Swamp back from the graveyard, then he'll tune with it to summon Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier. He lets me discard my Elemental Hero Bubbleman and my own super cute Treeborn Frog to destroy your Ronintoadin and Treeborn Frog, and Gungir is a Water monster so Zero's attack goes higher. Now, Ice Edge will destroy your Battle Fader. Then Stratos, followed by Gungnir and then Zero will attack you directly for a total of 7,800 points of damage, meaning I win! Unless, you can stop me again."
