Villainous Renaissance: Hades, Lord of the Underworld (Yu-Gi-Oh PbP)

[Shadow_Elf]

Mount Olympus is in flames, as Hades stands atop it, the other gods cast down into the depths of the Underworld. Titans and undead soldiers roam the earth, and the Lord of the underworld is enjoying himself quite a bit.

Hey! Any fool heroes wanna take me on this time? The Titans are free for real, Zeus is trapped in the Underworld... and life is just pretty darn good in general. Spoil my fun, I dare you! He shouts to the world, his hair going bright orange for a moment.

There is a rumbling sound coming from the ground, and eventually, a big boulder comes into sight. It is steadily pushed from an unseen person towards the top of Mount Olymp...

Until it stops, just a few metres short of its goal, and Sysiphus emerges.

"Fancy meeting you here, Hades. Zeus told me I'm free to go if I manage to defeat you...so here I am."

Zeus had the nerve to send you up here? What a schlemiel! I'll deal with him as soon as I'm done ending your pathetic existence, bub.

He snaps his fingers, and five flame motes appear before him, and a small conflagration at his side. Pain! Panic! Ready the Doom Cannon! We'll use this guy and his rock for ammunition as soon as I'm done working him over.

Yes your evilness! Oh certainly, your vengefulness!

"I don't care too much about Zeus, but you're going down! Preferably with an avalanche of boulders rolling after you."

Sysiphus drew a card from the dueldisk he kept hidden behind his trademark rock, and looked at it...

(1d40)[18]

He then set a monster facedown, followed shortly by a facedown spell or trap.

"I end my turn."

"And running headfirst into a granite wall isn't the pinnacle of tactical genius either...

Your Pyramid turtle meets Guardian Sphinx, and you take 1200 damage from your foolish attack.

Now, I draw a card..."

"...and summon Koa'ki Meiru Guardian, change Guardian Sphinx to attack position, and attack your Pyramid turtle with my Koa'ki Meiru Guardian. I then tribute it to negate your creature's effect and destroy it, preventing you from special summoning another of your foul servants.

I then attack with my Guardian Sphinx, and flip it facedown again in my main phase two. After that, I end my turn."

(700 battle damage from Guardian vs Turtle, then 1700 damage from Sphinx.

Total: 1200 damage earlier, then 2400 damage from my turn = 3600 damage)

((You cannot use Koa'ki Meiru Guardian's effect in that manner, as Pyramid Turtle is in the Graveyard when its effect is activated, and thus it is not a legal target for Guardian's effect. Does your turn change at all with this knowledge?))

[Mistral]

((You cannot use Koa'ki Meiru Guardian's effect in that manner, as Pyramid Turtle is in the Graveyard when its effect is activated, and thus it is not a legal target for Guardian's effect. Does your turn change at all with this knowledge?))

((Is that so? Its description doesn't say anything about the Effect Monster needing to be on the field, and the rulings say it's a Quick Effect that can activate even in the Damage Step. I know its mandatory counterpart, Doomcaliber Knight, affects all Effect Monsters in the same way regardless of location with the same wording. It should affect Honest, Kuriboh, D.D. Scout Plane, and Pyramid Turtle in the same way.))

[Aldgar]

((Wait, why can't Koa'ki Meiru Guardian respond to Turtle in the graveyard?

Here are the relevant rulings:

http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Card_Ru...Meiru_Guardian

Quick effect means Spellspeed 2, and it forms a chain with turtle's effect.

Or does turtle being in the graveyard make it somehow immune to effect negation?

Also, Guardian's effect "does not target".))

[Shadow_Elf]

((Really? Its description doesn't say anything about the Effect Monster needing to be on the field, and the rulings say it's a Quick Effect that can activate even in the Damage Step. I know its mandatory counterpart, Doomcaliber Knight, affects all Effect Monsters in the same way regardless of location with the same wording.))

((I read "Destroy" in an effect's effect line, and I assume that it has to be on the field for it to be destroyed. Pyramid Turtle's effect activates after the Damage Step, in the Graveyard, so I think its not an eligible target. I could be 100% wrong though, its the "destroyed" wording that made me assume it had to be on the field. Is there an article in the Wikia that could bear on this issue?))

[Aldgar]

((There are cards that "destroy" other cards that happen to be in your hand!

Divine wrath negating the effect of a herald of *foo* light, for example, so I don't think being in the graveyard makes something immune to destruction)).

#EDIT:

Wikia article on destruction:
http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Destroy

Destroying is a way of sending cards to the graveyard.

[Shadow_Elf]

((There are cards that "destroy" other cards that happen to be in your hand!

Divine wrath negating the effect of a herald of *foo* light, for example, so I don't think being in the graveyard makes something immune to destruction)).

((But in the destruction of something in your hand, it is then sent to the graveyard. In the Graveyard, it is already "destroyed", since the end result of being "destroyed" is that it is sent to the Graveyard, unless something else says otherwise (i.e. Bottomless Trap Hole).

Again, I could be wrong (and with two people saying I am wrong, I likely am), and I definitely don't want to make a big deal about this since its not a huge issue, but I don't see how an effect that "destroys" a monster can be chained to its... destruction. If someone can just explain to me why this doesn't matter, Hades can just go back to getting his butt kicked ))

[Mistral]

If someone can just explain to me why this doesn't matter, Hades can just go back to getting his butt kicked ))

((Divine Wrath has the same "negate effect and destroy" wording, so I'll borrow it for a moment. Here's its ruling on this issue.))

• You can activate "Divine Wrath" to negate an effect that activates in the Graveyard, such as "Witch of the Black Forest", "Mystic Tomato", "Despair from the Dark", "Night Assailant", "Electric Snake", and "Sangan".
• You can activate "Divine Wrath" when a "LV" monster is sent to the Graveyard to Special Summon the next level version (an Ignition Effect), and "Divine Wrath" will negate that effect, even though it cannot destroy the "LV" monster because it is already in the Graveyard.

[Aldgar]

#EDIT:
Ninja'd.

[Shadow_Elf]

((No Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon for me, then. No problem. Thanks for taking the time to explain that ruling to me.)) Another mote of blue fire is added to those in front of Hades. Here we go again! I'm about to show you why I'M king of the Underworld and you're pushing rocks around.

Another mote of blue fire is added to those in front of Hades. If I can just draw that one card, this can all be over...

(1d32)[27]

I summon Zombie Master to the field. I use his effect to discard my Titan, Earthbound Immortal Ccpacc Apu, to special summon my Pyramid Turtle from the Graveyard, in defense mode. My Paladin will attack Guardian Sphinx again, to hold his effect at bay. Your move. I NEED ZOMBIE WORLD!

"Unfortunately, your feeble efforts cannot prevent your defeat."

Sysiphus stated matter-of-factly.


"I draw a card, and summon Rock-Stone Warrior. I then use my Guardian Sphinxes effect to flip it facedown, then flip summon it - returning all your monsters to your hand. I then attack with both of my creatures for 3500 damage.

Any last words?"

Yes, actually! laughs Hades, readying a ball of fire to incinerate his opponent.

NOT SO FAST, BROTHER! comes a thundering voice. Hades is catapulted back into the Underworld along with Pain and Panic by one of Zeus' lightning bolts.

You have fulfilled your promise, Sysiphus. I hereby release you from your punishment! A bolt of lightning shatters his rock, and the manacles that bind him. Hades will, unfortunately, suffer few consequences for his actions - despite his unsavouryness, we still need him to control the Underworld, since no one else wants the job!

In the distance, a one-winged shadowy figure stares hatefully at Sysiphus and Zeus. This is not over, Playground. Tremaine and Jafar will not fail me! it mutters hatefully, before vanishing.

((A note to any reading - when I eventually open the Sephiroth challenge, only decks (and their associated personas) that have already beaten a Renaissance Villain can challenge him.))

((Good job. I had two copies of "Book of Life" in my hand, and with my Earthbound Immortal in the grave, I was just waiting on Zombie World to turn this match around for me. Unfortunately, despite have 3x Zombie World and 2x Terraforming, I never drew it.))

[Aldgar]

((I'll need to edit my deck slightly, though...remove the rock-stone warriors and fossil tuskers for some better monsters - maybe 1-2 granmargs and some other, better beatsticks.

Also, I'm eagerly waiting for Koa'ki Meiru Sandman(basically guardian that can negate traps instead of monster effects) to be released, then I can put in 3 Koa'ki meiru boulders, 3 sandmen to complement my 3 guardians.))

#EDIT:

And drawing terraforming or zombie world wouldn't have helped much..I had heavy storm in hand, and dark bribe down. If I hadn't negated zombie world right of the bat, I would have nuked zombie world on my next turn, destroying your earthbound immortal anyway.

[Blue Ghost]

Demeter, goddess of the harvest, steps out of the shadows where she had been hiding since shortly after the duel started.
Curse you, Sisyphus. I had wanted to annihilate the vile treacherous scumbag myself. Zeus, you are far too lenient on him. Remember what he did to my daughter? He should be locked in Tartarus along with his good-for-nothing father.

(Drat, I had wanted to take on Hades myself. I was sure he could win the first duel. On a related note, after this Villainous Renaissance is over, I may be opening a series of challenges from the Greek gods.)
