YugiohITP Exhibition Match: Mercenary Pen vs. Shadow Elf

[Mercenary Pen]

Colm had seen enough of the 'verse to last him a lifetime, from the central planets with technology almost out your eyeballs to the moons on the rim, barely habitable and with populations stuck so far into poverty that the man with the donkey was the rich magnate of the community. He'd seen it all, and with nothing he could do about it, he was just trying to live his life without interference.

[Shadow_Elf]

A man walks into the duel arena. He wears predominantly brown garb, with a holstered pistol at his waist. His dueldisk appears to have been lovingly assembled from outdated ship parts. Hey, friend. I've heard tell you're one of the foremost duelists in the 'Verse. Thought I'd investigate the truthfulness of that claim myself, you see. The name's Hal Maynolds, Captain of the Ladybug-class ship Tranquility.

I'll make the first move, if that's proper by you.

[roll0]

I'll summon a card that reminds me of a member of my crew. I call her "The Ambassador", but the card calls her Fire Princess. I'll then set three cards behind her. That concludes my turn, friend.

[Shadow_Elf]

In the end phase of your turn, I'll activate the Solemn Wishes. When I draw, I get 500 points of life, and The Ambassador takes off 500 points from yours.

[roll0]

I'll activate the Card Trader. By shuffling my Mind Control back into my deck, I can draw another card. This, friend, causes another 500 damage to you, as Solemn Wishes gives me yet another 500 points of life. ((Turn to resume after draw in this post))

Once Card Trader's done is job, I'll end my turn, assuming none of your cards make any moves.

I gain 500 lifepoints, and the Ambassador knocks off 500 more of your lifepoints, Colm. This obviously happens as I draw my card.

[roll0]

I'm gunna take Card Trader for a spin again. I'll shuffle Level Eater back into my deck to draw another card, netting me 500 more lifepoints and costing you 500 more as well. ((Turn will resume after this draw, in this post))

I'll set one monster, and that'll end the turn for me. The move's yours again, Colm.

Because of Skull-Mark Ladybug being sent to the graveyard, I gain 1000 life points, allowing Fire Princess to take away another 500 of yours. Next, I flip-summon my face-down Dandylion, and tune that with Quickdraw to synchro summon Junk Destroyer, special summoning two fluff tokens and using the effect of Junk Destroyer to destroy your Solemn Wishes. I'm a little cautious of your back row, so I'll finish with that for now."

[Shadow_Elf]

Hal leaps in front of his solemn wishes card, taking the destruction effect as damage to his lifepoints. He then draws his pistol as shoots Junk Destroyer dead. I have used My Body As a Shield to protect the Solemn Wishes, and eliminate your synchro monster. Got a response, friend?

[Mercenary Pen]

"Don't try that. Anybody knows that My Body As a Shield (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/My_Body_as_a_Shield) only prevents monster destruction."

(OOC: This is why I frequently double-check card texts before making plays... I knew full well that My Body As a shield could protect your Fire Princess if you had it set, so I picked on the vulnerable card instead)

[Shadow_Elf]

((Great, and now you know one of my facedowns :smalltongue:))

I guess we play things differently on the Rim planet where I was born. If that's all, then, I'll go ahead and take my turn

[roll0]

I'll shuffle Scapgoat back into the deck to get another draw. Just bear with me here. ((Turn will resume after this draw))

I'll discard Dandylion to summon up a Quickdraw Synchron of my own from my hand. This gives me two fluff tokens - I'll use one to tune my Quickdraw Synchron into... Drill Warrior! I'll switch the Ambassador to defense mode, and then Drill Warrior will halve his attack to make a direct attack against your lifepoints. Finally, I will discard Gold Sarcophagus from my hand to remove him from play, until my next turn. Your move. ((1200 damage, if all goes well.))

Yeah, actually. Its a little thing called Mirror Force. It'll destroy your Fire Princess and Junk Destroyer, unless you've got some manner of counter?

[Mercenary Pen]

"Well, now that you mention it, I'll take this opportunity to show you how My Body As a Shield is really used, taking 1500 points of damage to protect my monsters and destroy your Mirror Force. Knowing what your other face-down is, I know you can't do any more to stop me, so I'll call upon Fire Princess to destroy your fluff token, before ending my turn."

Life Points: 6800 (forgot to factor Skull-Mark into my life points during the previous post).

Edit: (OOC: Just correcting my terminology... My Body as a Shield is a cost, not damage. Had I put Damage Eater in my deck, this would have been relevant.)

[Shadow_Elf]

I got plenty of ways to burn ya back, Colm. When my Drill Warrior returns, I use its effect to add Dandylion to my hand.

[roll0]

I set a monster. I halve Drill Warrior's attack to let him attack directly, for 1200 damage again, and then I discard Dandylion to remove him from the game for another turn, bringing me two defense-mode Fluff Tokens. Your move, friend.

"I'll activate the continuous spell Spell Absorption, which will boost my life points by 500 points every time I activate a spell card from now on. Then, so that it doesn't hurt so much if your Drill Warrior runs my Fire Princess down, I'll switch my Princess to defence position and end my turn."

Seems I'm missin' opportunities left an' right, aren't I?

[roll0]

I grab Dandylion with Drill Warrior's effect again. Then, I flip summon my Infernity Avenger and Sangan. I tune em' on up with the two fluff tokens to form... Goyo Guardian! Sangan's effect brings me Quickdraw Synchron. I discard Dandylion to special summon Quickdraw, netting me two fluff tokens as usual. I synchronize Quickdraw with one token, to bring me yet another Drill Synchron. I'll then set a card facedown. Goyo Guardian will attack your Junk Destroyer, bringing him to my side of the field and causing 200 points of damage. The pair of Drill Warriors will destroy the Fire Princess and a fluff token, respectively. That leaves you with two life point gain traps and a fluff token. I'll set a card from my hand, and that will end my turn. I think that's my move done, provided you're not going to stop any of this.

"Having drawn, I gain 500 life points by solemn wishes. Now, I'll normal summon Synchron Explorer, special summoning Quickdraw Synchron from my graveyard but negating its effect. Now I'll tune my negated Quickdraw with my fluff token to synchro summon my own Goyo Guardian. Having done this, my Goyo will attack one of your Drill Warriors, special summoning it to my field. In my main phase, I'll activate Drill Warrior's second effect, discarding my level eater to remove it from play, ending my turn."

[Shadow_Elf]

And now its you who doesn't know his own cards' wordings! Quickdraw Synchron's condition which limits its usefulness ain't no effect, friend.

((Quickdraw Synchron's caveat which makes it only usable for Synchron Synchros is not an effect. See the rulings page here (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Card_Rulings:Quickdraw_Synchron).))

[Mercenary Pen]

(OOC: That actually makes my turn better- though I'll have to synchro differently)

"My apologies for the false start there. I'll just have to tune Quickdraw with Synchron Explorer instead to synchro summon Junk Archer. I'll use Junk Archer's effect to remove Goyo Guardian from play- then have it attack and destroy one of your Drill Warriors, ending my turn.

[Shadow_Elf]

((Drill Warrior's attack is 100 points higher than Junk Archer's, since I did not use their effect which halves their attack last round, but rather just destroyed monsters. Want to reconsider your move again?))

[Mercenary Pen]

(OOC: I hate to say it, but I'm half-asleep and liable to make more stupid mistakes like that... I'm gonna have to concede before I screw up even worse)

[Shadow_Elf]

((If you want to leave it until morning, you're welcome to. I'm in no rush to consider this duel finished if you think some shuteye will help you come up with a counter.

If not, then good game! I am thinking that Drill Warrior abuse meshes really well with Infernity Avenger - I can basically stash my hand in the graveyard with Drill Warrior's effect and then take whichever monsters I need out of it.))

[Mercenary Pen]

(OOC: Don't have any time to spare tomorrow... also, I could have desperately used an extra copy or two of Junk Destroyer in my extra deck...)
