YugiohITP Match: Mercenary Pen vs. Shadow Elf

[Mercenary Pen]

Sergeant Brian Murdoch was on leave, but he couldn't relax. Whatever he tried, things still reminded him of the battlefield.

"Halt, who goes there?"

OOC: Apologies for the delay, school semester just started back up, posting will be a tad erratic for a handful of days while I get back into the hang of actually doing work.

A red-haired youth approaches the sergeant. Name's Peter. I'm just wandering, I guess; none of my friends want to play Duel Monsters with me any more, since I always win. It's not my fault they all stink at it! fumes the teenager. He gives a grin to Murdoch. I don't suppose you're too old to know how to play, mister?

Alright, my go.

I will summmon my Laval Cannon, in attack mode. His effect's wasted, which is a shame, but them's the breaks. He attacks you diriectly, and I end my turn.

When you summon your new Firedog, I flip Torrential Tribute. I guess Maestroke protects himself, but the Dog's done for. Any change for your turn?

In case it matters, what do you detach for Maestroke's effect?

Hey, it worked, didn't it?

[roll0]

Alright, I summon Laval Volcano Handmaiden, and I use the effect of Boost Warrior in my hand to special summon him to the field. I tune them to synchro summon a Formula Synchron, who allows me to draw; but first, Laval Volcano Handmaiden's effect activates, and she sends another Handmaiden to the graveyard, who in turn sends another Handmaiden, who sends a Lakeside Lady. Can I draw, or is one of your facedowns going to object?

Alright, drawing now!

[roll0]

I banish Lakeside Lady and a Volcano Handmaiden to destroy your Row 2 facedown, and I cast Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy the other. I set a card and end my turn.

No, just maybe a little too... hopeful.

[roll0]

Oh, wow, my deck does love me! I summon Laval Cannon, whose effect special summons the Laval Volcano Handmaiden from banishment. I tune them to summon... Tech Genus Hyper Librarian! Volcano Handmaiden's effect activates, sending another Lakeside Lady to my graveyard. T.G. Hyper Librarian attacks your facedown card, and I end my turn.

Pot of Avarice: [roll0]

Alright, time to end this. I cast Rekindling, summoning Laval Lancelord, Boost Warrior, two Laval Volcano Handmaidens and Laval Lakeside Lady from my graveyard. I tune Handmaiden, Boost Warrior and Lancelord into a Red Dragon Archfiend. I then tune Handmaiden, Archfiend and Lakeside Lady into... RED NOVA DRAGON! The teenager raises his fist triumphantly as the massive red dragon appears in front of him. My two Handmaidens send a Handmaiden and two Flame Sprites to my graveyard. Three Handmaidens, two Flame Sprites and a Lakeside Lady means that Nova Dragon's attack is up at 6500. He attacks to end the game, unless you've a means of stopping him.

"I may have missed it, but did you do anything to remove the set monster on my front row?"

[Shadow_Elf]

Oh, oops, forgot about that. I'll banish a Lakeside Lady and a Handmaiden from my graveyard to handle that.

[Mercenary Pen]

"By my reckoning, that reduces Red Nova Dragon's attack to 5500, making you unable to push for game. Though you did destroy my set Ryko in the process."

"Nothing I can do about that. I don't even get to make use of the draw I get from Card Trooper's destruction."

[Shadow_Elf]

Yeah, you play well, for a grown-up. I was worried I wasn't going to pull through there for a bit... but Rekindling saved the day, as usual.

[Mercenary Pen]

(OOC: It was pretty much over when you destroyed Ryko, although between him and the Effect Veiler in my hand your Red Nova Dragon would have gone down. I just couldn't get off any of my deck's combos.)

(OOC: It was pretty much over when you destroyed Ryko, although between him and the Effect Veiler in my hand your Red Nova Dragon would have gone down. I just couldn't get off any of my deck's combos.)

(OOC: The issue my deck has is that basically all of my combos require Rekindling and prefer to have Moleten Conduction Field. I can, however, get a Shooting Quasar Dragon or a Red Nova Dragon in one turn with just Molten Conduction Field, Rekindling and Boost Warrior in my hand, which is the deck's main focus. Once my graveyard was set up, it was just a question of waiting for Rekindling.)

(OOC: At least you managed to get your graveyard set up- I hadn't even drawn into any of my milling cards until the last two rounds, and I couldn't put them to use.)

[Shadow_Elf]

(OOC: It's why I personally prefer Laval Rekindling to a Lightsworn/Flamvell engine. With Volcano Handmaiden and Molten Conduction Field, the Lavals can reliably set up the graveyard for Rekindling without running the risk of randomly milling key cards (especially Rekindling itself). I am considering removing some of my Synchros to make room for a handful of Xyz monsters, but I also don't want to lose the sort of toolbox nature of my current extra deck. May I'll drop a Dragun and Dual Slasher to make room for an Emeral and a Utopia. The super trump Synchros I run take up a third of my extra deck, unfortunately, but it's worthwhile.)

[Mercenary Pen]

(OOC: You might want to consider Number 16: Shock Master and Lavalval Chain to start with- considering that Shock Master provides a handy element of Lockdown and Chain should help with the consistency of the deck in general)

A man is inside the colosseum, scaling a wall and trying to reach something on a higher platform. When he sees he has company, he nimbly drops back down to the overgrown floor of the derelict structure. He draws a dueldisk. You play? I traveled here to get something for my friends, but they've grown restless. They could use a stretch of the legs.

Time for a change of scenery! I cast Colosseum - Cage of the Gladiator Beasts to replace Black Garden! Then I summon Lanista, who attacks Dandelion. Will your facedown card object to my move, or so I get to tag out Lanista at my battle phase's end?

Aaand... the Garden's back. Damnit.

[roll0]

Okay, the Garden's gotta go. I play the Seal of Orichalcos, another Field Spell, to destroy it. Now all my monsters get 500 attack. I summon Gladiator Beast Laquari and special summon Test Tiger, tributing it to stash Laquari back in my deck and summon Gladiator Beast Bestiari, who destroys your facedown backrow card. Any response, or can I keep going?

EDIT: Sorry, you don't have a facedown anymore. Your key still lists it, but it's not on your field. With no facedown, my turn's different.


... Gladiator Beast Equeste, whose effect returns Colosseum - Cage of the Gladiator Beasts to my hand. You know, in case you draw yet another Garden. I will have Equeste attack your Sangan, and at the end of the battle phase, I get to switch him out for a Gladiator Beast Darius, whose effect summons Gladiator Beast Lanista, effect-less, to the field. Your move, unless your hand holds a counter.

To follow this up, I shall normal summon Effect Veiler from my hand, tuning it with my effectless Gigaplant to synchro summon Black Rose Dragon. By banishing the Dandylion in my graveyard, Black Rose Dragon's effect activates, forcing your face down monster into attack position and reducing its attack to zero. I then attack with all three of my monsters for 7600 points of damage and to end the duel."

Great game! Those plants of yours are pretty scary...

OOC: Good game. The point of this deck was to make a Seal of Orichalcos deck, but obviously Gladiator Beasts are more extra-deck reliant than I expected. If I could have brought out a Heraklinos or Gyzarus earlier, I might have managed to keep my marginal lead. Perhaps I'll try Monarchs... but even Monarchs like Synchro and Xyz :smallsigh:...

If you're going to try it with monarchs, you probably want March of thhe Monarchs in there as well as another effect at the expense of cutting off access to the extra deck... Another possibility might be a Skill Drain beatdown or a Fire King/Sacred Phoenix deck using the seal- particularly since the seal becomes another way of destroying your own special summoned fire kings to trigger their effects when you first activvate it.

As far as my deck goes it felt like I was clutching at straws through most of the early duel, because it felt like I had a bad hand to start with and the odds of drawing into my combos seemed fairly slim, even with sangan to search Lonefire Blossom. Has to be said that a deck with heavy control elements like mine was possibly not the best matchup to show off everything your deck could do, after all if I had managed to get cactus bouncer out, your Gladiator Beasts would have been completely shut down, whereas I had the tricks in there to flip Cactus Bouncer face down to renew my access to special summons...
