You are greeted in the Arena by Altaria, silver haired with a black trenchcoat.
"I've updated the technology in this Arena now to be the same as that in the Gauntlet, care to help me troubleshoot?"

The familiar flying riverboat chugs into the arena, its middle-aged driver singing her song. She stops singing as she reaches her side of the arena, and she hops out of the boat.

Draw: [roll0]

Here goes, chere. I play Wetlands and I set a backrow card. Then, I summon Star Boy in attack mode. He'll attack your statue, and then I'll end my turn. Water pours out of her river boat's hull, the swampy ballast filling the arena. A star fish with one eye emerges from the bog and attacks the statue. ((1250 damage))

"Oh, no, it is simply the best I can do without waiting for you to play a field spell I can replace."
[roll0]
Unfortunately, a disadvantage is that I HAVEN'T DRAWN A MONSTER YET. Nevertheless. I activate The Sanctuary in the Sky (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/The_Sanctuary_in_the_Sky). My turn must end there however.
The swamps are replaced by a huge building, seemingly floating above the clouds.

Chere, you've no idea how thin the ice you're treadin' is. Y'see, my Wetlands aren't actually necessary anymore.

Draw: [roll0]
Rerolls: [roll1]

Alrighty chere, here goes! I summon Subtitoad from my hand. Substitoad, work your magic! Subtitoad turns Star Boy into a Dupe Frog. Dupe Frog becomes another Dupe Frog, which adds a Swap Frog to Mary's hand. Dupe Frog becomes a third Dupe Frog, which adds Treeborn Frog to her hand. Treeborn Frog is discarded to Special Summon Swap Frog, who sends a T.A.D.P.O.L.E. to the graveyard from the deck. Dupe Frog is croaked into a Des Frog, which adds a Des Frog to her hand. Swap Frog swaps itself for the Des Frog in her hand, which special summons a third Des Frog with its effect. And now I end this, chere. I play Des Croaking, which wipes your field clear. I then play Solidarity, and all my frogs attack directly. End game.

Hey, y'know the bit where you used Substitoad's ability? Divine Wrath (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Divine_Wrath). I discard another Sanctuary.
When Substitoad tries to turn Star boy into something else, a strike of lightning destroys it just after it destroys Star Boy. Leaving your field empty.
So, what else'll you do this turn?

[Shadow_Elf]

She laughs a big, booming laugh. Y'know, chere, I like that. I'm just going to end my turn with that one little facedown, and keep my other things in my hand. Your move.

((Time to figure out what my hand was before :smalltongue:. I have, like, twelve different ways of doing what I just did, so its really a minor setback.))

[Altaria87]

"Did I ever tell you I hate OTK decks?"
[Really, out of my 20 (and a half) decks, not one of them is OTK focused]
[roll0]
Finally, a monster! I summon Zeradias, Herald of Heaven (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Zeradias,_Herald_of_Heaven) and have him attack you directly.
A lance-wielding angel appears and attacks. And is stopped by that very annoying trap card.

Little somethin' somethin' called Mirror Force, hon. Anything else, or shall I get back to getting my Frogs ready for another attack? ((I find pulling off an OTK properly really awesome. I happen to have two OTK decks, including this one.))

Fine, You go, Frog Lady.
((I prefer not relying on having an entire deck centric on a single manouver that can be blocked so easily. But that's just me :smallsmile:))

Blink and you'll miss 'em though, as I sacrifice the Gellenduo twins to summon Tethys, Goddess of Light (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Tethys%2C_Goddess_of_Light). Who destroys that pesky frog of yours.

Chere, you don't think I wasn't ready for that? Aegis of the Ocean Dragon Lord protects my Swap Frog. Anything else before I make my move?

Nope, nothing. Make your move

My Wetlands replace your Sanctuary again, chere. The water is expelled from her boat once more, bogging up the arena. I then set a card and play another Solidarity. My Swap Frog attacks your fairy, and then I end my turn. ((1400 Damage))

"Meh, if I don't draw something good, I forfeit. I didn't draw a single stalling card until late in the duel, and by then it was too late to set up my burn."

Just to make a point, I'll replace the Wetlands with the Sanctuary, afterwards, I surrender. Good Game.
Altaria shakes hands with his opponent and leaves, happy at the results of the new technology

You played a pretty good game yourself, chere. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

((That was interesting, though you had terrible luck, it seems. All I needed to OTK was a Substitoad, but a lot of my cards would have bought me still more time until I could pull it off. And with Wetlands and Solidarity, this still makes a not-bad beatdown deck, even though the core beatdown cards for Frogs aren't present. Any tips for the deck? I thought Exodius was a pretty inspired addition on my part, and it also links the deck back to Shadow, but I'm thinking of replacing Treeborn Frog with another Exodius. Thoughts?))

[Altaria87]

((Well, to be honest, I'm not really sure what Exodius brings. I can see how he gets any previously used frogs back tot he deck, but then, he's pretty much a useless, 0 attack... Thingy. Treeborn Frog is generally more useful, so I'd keep that myself.
Any thoughts on how to improve this deck then?))

[Shadow_Elf]

Well, Subtitoad, T.A.D.P.O.L.E. and Swap Frog can easily dump a bunch of monsters in the graveyard to super-buff Exodius for one big direct attack. And since he's removed from play upon destruction, he doesn't interfere with Solidarity.

On your deck, I would consider throwing in a couple of copies of Ultimate Offering, in case you want to throw up the Honest/Athena OTK. Mysterious Puppeteer then follows, since he's always nice to put with Ultimate Offering, and also can give you a bunch of life points with the Athena exchanging ability. Ultimate Offering also lets you summon Gellenduo and then tribute them for a seven star in the same round. If I think of anything else, I'll tell you.

May I ask how many normal monsters you have in your deck Shadow. Because those are the only ones the power up Exodius when in the grave.

Really????? *checks Exodius entry* Wow, you're right! Thanks, that's one card I can remove from this deck without a second thought.

Just returning the favor. And yeah that makes him stink in most decks. I'll probably never play him cause I rarely play normal monsters.
