Chapter 789 - 476: As Long As It’s Not Used by Its Original Owner, This Card Is Pretty Strong (5K)_3
"In your main phase, I flip a face-down card and activate the Spell Card [Divine Discard]!" Fujimoto Kyosuke said without hesitation. "I can activate with up to five cards from my hand, then discard an equivalent number of cards from your hand."In Fujimoto Kyosuke’s original plan, he intended to use this Spell Card to eliminate any possibility of Shen Sui’s struggle.
Even if Shen Sui managed to draw miraculously during the draw phase, he could still send Shen Sui’s Life Card drawn miraculously to the graveyard using the effect of [Divine Discard].
But he never expected that Shen Sui would take his final battle, and along with the cards drawn during the draw phase, Shen Sui directly drew eleven cards from the deck. Even if he maximized the effect of [Divine Discard] and discarded five cards from Shen Sui, Shen Sui still had six cards left to use.
Although Fujimoto Kyosuke felt frustrated inside, he quickly discarded five cards from his hand and then discarded five cards from Shen Sui’s hand.
"Is it over?" Shen Sui looked at the discarded cards without feeling any heartache.
His Life Card entering the graveyard feels like going home, it’s practically his second home outside of his hand.
This move by Fujimoto Kyosuke didn’t even bother Shen Sui, nor did it have much of a negative effect.
"Then I’ll start. Pay 5 Soul Points, normally summon from my hand, [Loli Dragon Maid Mitole]." Shen Sui started by normally summoning Mitole.
Immediately after, Shen Sui activated Mitole’s effect, sending the top three cards of the deck to the graveyard.
He glanced at the quality of the cards sent to the graveyard.
Eh...
Mitole’s ability to send cards to the graveyard still needs improvement.
Shen Sui muttered to himself, then activated Mitole’s effect, returning Mitole from the field to his hand, and then chose a Soul Card from the deck and sent it to the graveyard.
Shen Sui chose to send [Star Abyss White Dragon Qishala] to the graveyard.
At this moment, Mitole’s leaving-the-field effect activated, allowing Shen Sui to select a Life Card from the graveyard to add to his hand.
Opening the graveyard, Shen Sui retrieved the Spell Card [Shining Debut] from the graveyard.
Paying Soul Points, he activated [Shining Debut], discarded his hand, and then special summoned [Substitute Puppet Jamie] from the deck.
Don’t ask why there’s a [Puppet] Follower Card in a Dragon Race deck, just know that universal hand traps have versatile keywords.
The summoning restriction of [Full House Pure] is that it can only be activated when there is a Follower on your field.
In other words, Shen Sui just needs to ensure there’s always only one Follower Card on his field to perfectly bypass the restriction of [Full House Pure] and happily begin his expansions.
Next was Shen Sui’s most common routine, sacrificing the Substitute Puppet to send it to the graveyard, then banishing the Substitute Puppet from the graveyard and adding Alice from the deck to his hand.
Paying 5 Soul Points again, he normally summoned Mitole from his hand to the field.
Mitole’s effect activated upon debut, sending three more Life Cards from Shen Sui to the graveyard.
Well, it seems like once again this graveyard pile was not particularly high in quality.
Shen Sui silently complained.
But the quality of the graveyard pile was no longer important to Shen Sui. He didn’t plan to keep having Mitole bounce back and forth.
The thrill of storytelling is fun, but if you can already end the Duel and still continue with meaningless storytelling, then it’s really unnecessary.
Shen Sui directly sacrificed Mitole and then activated her leaving-the-field effect, adding [Star Abyss White Dragon Qishala] from the graveyard to his hand.
Louise crossed her arms, looking at Shen Sui’s play with full admiration for this deck.
Shen Sui’s deck was constructed exceptionally well.
He had already summoned Mitole twice and activated a Spell Card, yet his Soul Points hadn’t decreased at all.
Now, Shen Sui simultaneously had both Alice and Qishala in his hand.
Even Louise, an outsider, had already guessed what he planned to do next.
Sure enough, Shen Sui paid 1 Soul Point to normally summon Alice from his hand.
[Magic Apprentice Alice] was merely a transitional phase; Shen Sui didn’t pause for a moment before paying Soul Points to perform a form transformation on Alice.
The [Destroyer of the Earth Alice] performed a Shining Debut, clearing the field with one swift move.
When Shen Sui activated this form of Alice’s effect, Fujimoto Kyosuke’s complexion turned very unpleasant.
He wanted to use Da San Yuan’s effect to bounce Shen Sui’s Alice away, yet Shen Sui didn’t hesitate to take out [Elemental Life: Lava Fairy] from his hand.
According to the Lava Fairy’s effect, Fujimoto Kyosuke’s card effects were nullified.
Then came the most classic move: the Queen of Dragons transitioning to the Star Abyss White Dragon and delivering a killing blow.
Under Fujimoto Kyosuke’s distressed expression, Qishala cleared all of Fujimoto Kyosuke’s Life Value without any obstruction.
"Huh? With so many cards in your hand, you didn’t even have a hand trap to block the damage?" Shen Sui remarked cold-bloodedly after his victory.
For a moment, Fujimoto Kyosuke even had the urge to draw his sword.
"Your deck, drawing so many cards at the start, is like not drawing anything." Shen Sui continued to pressure Fujimoto Kyosuke.
With a stern expression, Fujimoto Kyosuke snorted coldly and left directly, without even a courtesy handshake.
Sigh...
Did he just leave like that?
Shen Sui was slightly surprised.
He had originally planned to ask if that [Divine Gastrodia·Final Battle] card was available for trade.
Although this card had many follow-up effects, just its massive draw power at the start of drawing six Life Cards, and drawing X Life Cards at the end of the round, made it suitable for most decks.
Considering the underwhelming performance of the [Giant Spider] deck after using this card, Shen Sui could only say that some Life Cards, while strong when used in other decks, somehow couldn’t realize their potential when used in their original home deck.
It’s not just this card; after the grand market opened for Life Card trading, many Life Card Masters discovered similar issues.
Some Life Cards that performed mediocrely in their decks often shone brightly in the decks of others.
