"May I ask the identity of the monster so summoned?"

OOC: When a monster is summoned facedown, added to the hand, or otherwise manipulated by an effect that requires a specific type/attribute/attack/level/whatever, it is normally revealed to the opponent unless explicitly stated otherwise. More pertinently, the fourth ruling (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Card_Rulings:Apprentice_Magician) for Apprentice Magician. Just to confirm, since I've seen it occur in other duels here before as well by other people.

(OOC: Face-down monster has now been revealed, apologies for not revealing it at the time)

[Mistral]

OOC: No problem. It would have affected my turn slightly, but not significantly enough to reset.

"As was foretold. When you summon your phoenix, I activate my facedown Phoenix Wing Wind Blast (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Phoenix_Wing_Wind_Blast). Discarding my Elemental Hero Ocean allows my phoenix's strength to cast your own Nephthys back to the top of your deck. Also, at the end of your turn, I activate Interdimensional Matter Transporter (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Interdimensional_Matter_Transporter), removing Fortune Lady Light from play to call upon an ill augery, Fortune Lady Dark."

[Mercenary Pen]

"I see, then I have no choice but to activate my own face down Assault On GHQ (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Assault_on_GHQ), destroying my Phoenix to send the top two cards of your deck to the graveyard. Subsequent to that, I no longer get my attack, but I still set my face-down card and end my turn."

[Mistral]

GHQ: [roll0] [roll1]

"Impetuous, but not quite injurious yet. Let us see what fate has in store for this turn, as my Fortune Lady Light returns to the field."

Draw: [roll2]

"On my standby phase, both of my Fortune Ladies gain one level, and become that much more powerful. I switch Fortune Lady Light to defence position, then attack you directly with Fortune Lady Dark. That will end my turn."

"That particular facedown card happens to be Compulsory Evacuation Device (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Compulsory_Evacuation_Device). I chain it to eject Kuraz from the field, and Dark Coffin forces me to discard Destiny Hero - Plasma, since destroying Fortune Lady Light would miss the timing again."

Kuraz: [roll0]

EDIT: Wait, does Dark Coffin miss the timing when used with Kuraz? It's a "when" card, and Kuraz forces a draw right after the destruction. That's why FLL misses the timing.

EDIT: Wait, does Dark Coffin miss the timing when used with Kuraz? It's a "when" card, and Kuraz forces a draw right after the destruction. That's why FLL misses the timing.

((True up till missing of timing, Dark Coffin's effect is non-optional and non-optional effects cannot miss, the key word in FLL is 'can' not 'when'. Stupid confusing rules.))

OOC: Fortune Lady Light is in defence position and has been since it was special summoned by Dark, unless you played a card to change that. That's why it hasn't attacked at all. I'll assume you used Dark to destroy Ocean and Marionette against Light, since that deals more LP damage (900).

"And with that, your fate is sealed."

Draw: [roll0]

She doesn't even look at the card she draws. "You played well, and left me with only two cards in my hand. Even without foresight, you played quite well, but with Kuraz on the field, these are the only two cards I need to win. I begin with Future Visions (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Future_Visions), the scenes of the future you sought to create, and the future that awaits you." As the windows begin to open and close, one briefly reveals a celestial fiery phoenix, and another reveals two women, one clad in yellow and the other in red. "I then summon my final Fortune Lady Light (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fortune_Lady_Light), who shall vanish to call upon my final augery. Your fortune is uncertain, but remember that united people are stronger. Fortune Lady Fire (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fortune_Lady_Fire), I summon you from my deck in attack position." The crimson lady raises her staff, pointing it at Kuraz, and a massive column of fire bursts forth, shattering the Monarch and passing through to the duelist. "Because she was summoned by the effect of a Fortune Lady, her own effect activates. Fortune Lady Fire destroys Kuraz and inflicts damage to you equal to his attack points, more than enough to deplete your life to naught. My prediction is that you have nothing to stop this."

"Looks like you had some explosions of your own- and I simply can't make a comeback from there. Whether I like it or not, you win."

(OOC: I literally have nothing to counter with, no cards face-down, no cards in hand... Wondering whether I might have been better off dropping Magician's circle and running Magical Dimension instead... Hope that wasn't too easy a duel for you.)

[Mistral]

OOC: Actually, it was pretty difficult at points, like when you pulled Nephthys onto the field. I was worried one of your facedowns was a trap since you left it in attack position, either to catch Dark attacking or through her effect. I was lucky at the end in that I had the exact two cards I needed to win sitting in my hand, and that I knew you already had Kuraz in your hand from putting it there before.

You might consider putting Hand of Nephthys at 3 and replacing some monsters with one or two Crystal Seers (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Crystal_Seer). It can be sought by Apprentice Magician, and since Hand of Nephthys doesn't actually require you to draw Sacred Phoenix to seek it, Crystal Seer will let you reduce bad draws by pushing Phoenix to the bottom of your deck if it happens to be top-decked. Night's End Sorcerer (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Night's_End_Sorcerer) is another searchable that might help tune into synchros. I'm also not sure about Sand Moth, as I said before; as a wall, it's too easily bypassed or destroyed, and it can become a beatstick, but one that's fiddly to summon and has a depressingly low ATK by comparison to other beatsticks (The Tricky (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/The_Tricky), for instance, matches it and can SS itself with a single discard, and Cyber Dragon (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Cyber_Dragon) exceeds it and doesn't even require the discard). Basically, it doesn't really synergize well with either Nephthys or Spellcasters. A similar story goes with Kuraz, with the additional coincidental caveat that it actually gave me one of the cards I needed to win in this duel. Well, either way, so it goes.

Oh, and two other cards that might help destroy your own Statue of the Wicked/Dark Coffin:
Magical Hats (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Magical_Hats) (doesn't work if they're flipped upright by attack, but works if destroyed via Hats' effect)
Malevolent Catastrophe (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Malevolent_Catastrophe) (a trap version of Heavy Storm, rarely run or expected, especially if paired with Widespread Dud (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Widespread_Dud))

OOC: Of course, in the run up to that final Kuraz summon, I couldn't really afford to give back Fortune Lady Dark either, and even destroying my Magical Marionette would have been enough for you to win the duel...

I'll consider some of your card suggestions, along with the old fashioned Snipe Hunter/Ojamagic engine, which could give me access to mass targeted destruction in a pinch...
