The woman standing in the dueling arena bows politely as she sees you enter. She activates a pure-white duel disc clipped to her left arm. Greetings. Shall we begin?

He points at his opponent, gesturing for her to go first.

[Mistral]

I see. I shall lead, then.

[roll0]

She looks at the card she drew, then places it face-up on the field. I summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands in attack mode. Its special effect allows me to add Ritual of Grace to my hand. I also activate Gold Sarcophagus (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Gold_Sarcophagus), permitting me to remove Secret Village of the Spellcasters from play. I then end my turn.

He then plays two facedowns.

[Shades of Gray]

Ah, sorry. Yeah. That's it, two facedowns.

[Mistral]

OOC: OK. It looked that way, but I wanted to make sure just in case.

[roll0]

She draws, and cοcks her head slightly. I play Djinn Releaser of Rituals in attack mode. I attack your face-down with Djinn, then follow up with a direct attack from Manju.

After the attacks go through or are negated, she sets one facedown card. I now end my turn.

[Shades of Gray]

The man points a hand at his face-down, revealing Pyramid Turtle (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Pyramid_Turtle).

((It's been a while. I don't remember what happens when you are attacked by a monster of equal attack, so I'll present both options.))

If Both Monsters are destroyed or just my monster is destroyed
Pyramid Turtle crumbles apart, and in its place stands a Zombie Mammoth in attack mode, who blocks the Djinn.

If Your monster is destroyed or both monsters live
Pyramid Turtle will also block Djinn after it shrugs off Manju's attack

[Mistral]

If the attacking monster's ATK is equal to the defence-position defending monster's DEF, nothing happens. If attacking monster's ATK is equal to the attack-position defending monster's ATK, both monsters are destroyed. So, I take 200 LP damage when Djinn hits Pyramid Turtle (1200 ATK vs 1400 DEF), and I'll end my turn without attacking with Manju (since there'd be no point).

[Shades of Gray]

The man draws another card, smiling as he sees his Pyramid Turtle shrug off the attack.

He plays a Goblin Zombie (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Goblin_Zombie)

Pyramid Turtle will attack Djinn. Assuming they both are sent to the Graveyard, Zombie Mammoth is summoned from my deck. Zombie Mammoth will attack Manju, followed by Goblin Zombie attacking directly. If Goblin Zombie attacks, I will add a Burning Skull Head (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Burning_Skull_Head) to my hand.

I end my turn.

[Mistral]

OOC: No problem.

She smiles as Djinn is destroyed, an odd reaction. As the turn ends, she taps the facedown card. I activate Royal Decree. This will negate all traps on the field except itself.

[roll0]

[Shades of Gray]

((Does this just destroy them or negate them?))

[Mistral]

OOC: Negate. It won't actually destroy anything, but if you activate a regular trap card, its effect will be cancelled out as though someone played Solemn Judgement or another similar counter trap.

From the Graveyard, a golden container rises, its lid sliding away to reveal the card removed from play two turns ago. I also add Secret Village of the Spellcasters to my hand via Gold Sarcophagus' effect. I shall place one monster face-down and end my turn.

He plays Everliving Underworld Cannon (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Everliving_Underworld_Cannon)

He plays another Zombie Mammoth. He looks at his opponent's facedown monster cautiously, and send his Goblin Zombie to attack it, scampering off to attack it. The Mammoths stay behind.

Goblin Zombie's blade slashes through the facedown card. Apprentice Magician (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Apprentice_Magician) appears briefly before fading away, to be replaced by a second facedown Apprentice Magician.

If you continue attacking with the first Zombie Mammoth:

Second Mammoth Attacks:
The third and last Apprentice Magician is destroyed, only to be replaced by a facedown Old Vindictive Magician (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Old_Vindictive_Magician).

No more attacks, ending the turn.

[Mistral]

I see. Perhaps... She draws her card.

Placing the card in her hand, she looks at her opponent calmly. I end my turn.

The man draws another card, looking a bit impatient.

[roll0]

He reveals the card he drew. Foolish Burial (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Foolish_Burial). He uses this to send a Skull Flame (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Skull_Flame) to the graveyard. He then plays a Book of Life (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Book_of_Life) to summon the Skull Flame. This activates the Everliving Underworld Cannon, dealing 800 damage to your lifepoints. The second effect of Book of Life activates, letting me remove the Djinn in your graveyard from play.

The goblin attacks first, followed by the mammoths and then Skull Flame.

The goblin attacks first, followed by the mammoths and then Skull Flame.

The second Apprentice Magician is destroyed under Goblin Zombie's blade, to be replaced by a third Apprentice Magician. The first Mammoth rushes forward, shattering its target, which activates again in the Graveyard to summon Old Vindictive Magician (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Old_Vindictive_Magician) in facedown defence mode.

If you continue attacking in the order you gave:
The second Mammoth destroyes Old Vindictive Magician, which points its staff at Skull Flame before vanishing from the field. Skull Flame suddenly collapses as a cloud of black smoke rises around it, dissolving it into nothing.

[Shades of Gray]

I continue in that order, letting my Skull Flame go to the graveyard. After that I end my turn.

I shall make do with what I have, then. I activate Ritual of Grace (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ritual_of_Grace), tributing one Divine Grace - Northwemko from my hand to summon another to the field. Its special effect activates, targeting my Royal Decree to shield itself from destruction by any of your card effects. I then activate Secret Village of the Spellcasters.

The playing field shifts and distorts, changing from a blank field to a twisted forest filled with strange homes. So long as I have a Spellcaster like Northwemko on the field, you may no longer activate any Spell Cards without a Spellcaster of your own. I attack your Zombie Mammoth with Northwemko, destroying it and dealing 800 damage to you. Its effect adds a further 1900 damage to that as well. That will suffice for my turn.

OOC: Zombie Mammoths have 1900 ATK, not 1800. Just clarifying.

OOC: No, tributing doesn't count as destroying, so it won't activate Mammoth's effect.

[Shades of Gray]

The man tributes Zombie Mammoth and Goblin Zombie to summon another Skull Flame from his hand in defense mode. Goblin Zombie's effect kicks in, letting me add a burning skull head to my hand. I use Skull Flame's ability to summon this skull in defense mode, dealing 1000 damage to you and an additional 800 damage from my Everliving Underworld Cannon.

OOC: Just a mention, but you can't normal or tribute summon in face-up defence position unless Light of Intervention (a trap card that prevents facedown monsters) is active. Special Summons can be placed in face-up attack or defence position unless the card that's doing the special summon gives a specific position, so Burning Skull Head is fine.

I play my second Gold Sarcophagus, removing from play one Djinn Presider of Rituals (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Djinn_Presider_of_Rituals) from my deck.

Finally, I play Ritual of Grace and activate the effects of Djinn Presider and Djinn Releaser, removing both from play again to summon a second Northwemko to the field. This card will target both Secret Village and Royal Decree, protecting it from destruction so long as both cards are on the field, and will block any further special summons.

I attack, destroying your Burning Skull Head with my second Northwemko and drawing one card, then attack directly with my first Northwemko.

And ends his turn. :smallannoyed:

((I can see how potent your combo is...))

[Mistral]

OOC: It's crippling once it's on the field, but it's still vulnerable to monster effects (which aren't affected at all) or spellcasters (which can bypass Secret Village and generally aren't bothered by Royal Decree). It can also backfire on me if Northwemko gets pulled off the field after Secret Village is played - that means that I can't use any spells, including Ritual of Grace. It's also pretty easy to stop before it gets started if I don't draw all of the cards I need (Secret Village, Royal Decree, Northwemko, Ritual of Grace, and seven stars worth of monsters in the field or hand/Djinns in the graveyard). Still, only some decks rely on monster effects heavily, and most of those use a lot of special summons.

OOC: Do you end your turn?

If so: [roll0]

[Mistral]

OOC: Do you end your turn?

If so: [roll0]

OOC: If I have my math right, you had 5200 LP two turns ago. I attacked with one Northwemko directly after using the other to attack and destroy your defence-position monster, reducing it to 2500, then you took your turn, then I attacked on this turn with both monsters for game.

[Shades of Gray]

Ah, sorry. I didn't see you actually declare any attacks. Anyway, good match.

I'm just punching myself in the face right now, as I could have destroyed that Royal Decree a while ago with my Heavy Storm.

I think I might need some more high attack monsters, as I realize that I have no way of making enemies weaker, and my highest attack is 2600. I also have very few ways of sending enemies straight to the graveyard.

[Shades of Gray]

Would you be up for a match with the revised decklist, after receiving the wisdom of the ghost of blue?

[Mistral]

Don't worry about Heavy Storm. I don't think Royal Decree was actually the decider in this match, and before that, you had a facedown already as well. Losing two cards of your own to destroy one card of mine tends to be a poor trade unless that one card poses a major threat or is the only thing stopping you from winning on that turn. I think one thing that you could have done was attack on your first turn with Pyramid Turtle into my Manju, use its effect to special-summon either Skull Flame or Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon, then attack and destroy Manju with it (since you would still be in your Battle Phase). That would probably have made things a lot more difficult for me early on; I definitely wouldn't have tried to bait you into destroying Djinn Releaser by playing it in attack mode.

Snipe Hunter might be a decent side as a monster-effect destruction, but it wouldn't go very well with your deck since it's a Fiend rather than a Zombie; you couldn't seek it with Goblin Zombie or Pyramid Turtle. There aren't many Zombies stronger than Skull Flame, though. Despair from the Dark is one, but it's rather difficult to get onto the field since it can't be sought by Pyramid Turtle. Berserk Dragon is the most powerful, but it's even worse: it can only be special-summoned through one spell card, which can only be activated under very specific conditions, and it also has a bad effect that weakens it every turn. The best way in general to beat a lockdown deck is just to do it as quickly as possible - lockdowns need 3-5 cards at a minimum, usually, so they're pretty slow by comparison. If you can force your opponent to overplay early and destroy them piece-meal or trick them into underplaying and catch them by surprise for a one-turn kill, you'll have an advantage.

It was a fun and educational game, though. I learned more about my deck's weaknesses.

Sure. Do you want to play it in this thread or start a new one?

The man draws another card, his mind racing. [roll0]

[Shades of Gray]

The man plays a Pyramid Turtle (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Pyramid_Turtle). He then tunes the Zombie Master and Krebons to summon Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barriers (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Brionac). He then plays Book of Life (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Book_of_Life) to special summon Zombie Master back to the field.

He uses Brionac's special ability to discard another Zombie World and a Plaguespreader Zombie (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Plaguespreader_Zombie). This returns your two facedowns to your hands. Brionac, Zombie Master, and the Pyramid Turtle then attack for a combined total of 5300 damage.

If this all goes down, I end my turn.

[Mistral]

The man plays a Pyramid Turtle (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Pyramid_Turtle). He then tunes the Zombie Master and Krebons to summon Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barriers (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Brionac). He then plays Book of Life (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Book_of_Life) to special summon Zombie Master back to the field.

He uses Brionac's special ability to discard another Zombie World and a Plaguespreader Zombie (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Plaguespreader_Zombie). This returns your two facedowns to your hands. Brionac, Zombie Master, and the Pyramid Turtle then attack for a combined total of 5300 damage.

OOC: The Synchro Summon is correct, but you can't activate Book of Life since both effects are mandatory at activation (no "you may" or other similar wording). Since I don't have a monster in my Graveyard, you can't remove a monster in my Graveyard from play, so you can't play it yet.

EDIT: Sorry, I do have a monster in my graveyard. Senju is removed from play, so it can go through fine. Sorry again for the mix-up.

[Mistral]

She visibly winces as the attacks go through, then draws a card.

[roll0]

Looking at the facedown card, she shakes her head slightly. It cannot be helped. I activate Foolish Burial (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Foolish_Burial), sending Djinn Releaser of Rituals to the Graveyard. I then activate another Foolish Burial, sending Djinn Presider of Rituals to the Graveyard. I then activate Ritual of Grace, removing both from play to ritual summon Divine Grace Northwemko to the field in attack mode. I also set one monster facedown, then attack with Northwemko to destroy Brionac, which will permit me to draw one card.

OOC: Pause to see if your trap destroys Northwemko.

[Shades of Gray]

My facedown is Bottomless Trap Hole, a fine little trap that will send Northwemko down, down into the earth.

[Mistral]

As Northwemko departs the field as quickly as she arrived, she smiles self-depreciatingly. I suspected the like. I set one trap card facedown and end my turn.

As her opponent draws, she activates the trap card. I also activate Royal Decree, though it is rather belated.

The man plays Allure of Darkness (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Allure_of_Darkness), letting him draw two cards.

[roll0][roll1]

[Shades of Gray]

He removes from play the Krebons he just drew, and plays the OTHER allure of darkness he just drew. He is forced to remove Gorz, Emissary of Darkess from play.

He discards Mirror Force to destory your Facedown monster using Brionac's ability. He then swings with all of his monsters for another 5300. If you can't counter this, then that's game.

[Mistral]

Unable to counter with her field effectively emptied, she accepts the final attack. Impressive. I thank you for both duels. It was quite fun.

[Shades of Gray]

The man nods, his zombie master still speaking for him.

"Yes. I'd love to do this again sometime." He checks his wristwatch. "Though it seems that I'm needed elsewhere. Farewell. And good luck." He says, before disappearing in black smoke, his clothes falling to the floor. Leaning against his hat is a "Zombie Master" card.

OOC: I think I have a good feel for how my deck works. I'd like to thank you and Blue Ghost for all of your support.
