"When Voltic Bicorn is sent to the graveyard, both players must discard 7 cards."
As my cards slid into the graveyard slot, my anger pulsed, I swear, when I get the chance I am going to make a deck that will work from the graveyard just to annoy those who use the 'Deck Destruction' philosophy. And then I will find every single person with one of those decks and make them regret ever using it.
"I end my turn by placing two cards facedown."
Luckily for me, my deck knew exactly what I wanted, "I play Accelerate Draw. If I am the only duelist with 12 speed counters, then I can draw two cards. Then I have Stardust attack you since you have no monsters on your side of the field."
Life Points Breo=1500
His smug face filled my soul with the desire to punch all of the teeth out of his mouth, "Just what I was hoping for. I activate Regretful Tuning. This activates when I take direct damage, and it brings back a Synchro monster from my graveyard. If it attacks, it will be sent to the graveyard at the end of the turn. I choose Voltic Bicorn!"
Voltic Bicorn-2500
Shaking my head, I slowly blew out a breath of air, "I end my turn with a facedown."
I need to find a way to take out him quickly. There is no way I can take on Jean with a small amount of cards.
"Voltic Bicorn, attack Stardust Dragon!"
Not on your life, "I activate Synchro Striker Unit. This equips to a Synchro monster, and gives it 1000 points."
Stardust Dragon-3500
A laugh came from the runner behind me, "Then I activate Flattery. When a monster's attack points change during the battle phase, mine also gets to change by the same amount."
Voltic Bicorn-3500
The two monsters collided mid-air, and both of them disappeared.
"Now we both have to send 7 cards to the graveyard from our decks."
My wonderful cards slid into the slot, and my fury grew with each one, mixed with a minute amount of humor.
Breo wasn't done with me yet, "Then I activate Tuning Collapse. This makes you send cards to the graveyard equal to the level of the destroyed Synchro monster. I then end my turn with 3 facedowns."
And now I'm left with only five cards. How peachy.
As I drew my first card, one of his facedowns flipped up, "I activate the continuous trap Tricolor Illusion. You have to draw an extra card every turn, and based on what type of card it is, you have to do something different. If it's a spell card, you get to keep it. If it's a trap, you have to send it and another card to the graveyard. If it's a monster, you get to keep it, and you have to put a card from your hand on top of your deck. But you can choose to send a card from your deck to the graveyard in order to destroy the card."
So you think that I'm that predictable. Shall I give you a heart attack?
"I choose to draw a card, which just happens to be...Junk Synchron. Which I will summon, and I place a card from my hand on the top of my deck."
Junk Synchron-1300
Waves of shock came both from Breo and his teammates in the pit. Oh, you poor babies. Did you really think that I'm that predictable? Or that I was just going to lie down and take Stardust's destruction that easily?
"I tune all three of my monsters together in order to Synchro summon Junk Destroyer!"
Junk Destroyer-2600
"When he is Synchro summoned, I get to destroy one card on the field per non-tuner used to summon him. So Tricolor and the card next to it are both destroyed!"
I chuckled as he glared at me, "Next he attacks you directly."
The glare only darkened, "I activate Damage Lance. When a monster with 2000 or more attack points declares a direct attack, the attacking monster and its controller both lose 1000 points!"
Junk Destroyer-1600
Life Points Yusei=1000
Life Points Breo=0
Okay, just one more duelist, and four cards to beat him with. But I need to start messing with him like he's been doing with me.
He pulled up behind me, and I opened a communication screen, "So, I'm assuming that you are the strategist of your team. How long have you been planning how to beat us?"
A smirk spread across his face, "I am, and you just keep surprising us."
"I just wanted to thank you. You've given us a new perspective on how to duel as a team, and you three have given me a challenge that I didn't think that I would find in the first round of the tournament. It's actually really fun, because this is the first duel of this intensity that I could actually enjoy."
Except for deck destruction. The only fun part about that is when your monster's abilities activate from the graveyard and make your opponent regret sending them there.
The shock on his face was only visible for a couple seconds before I turned off the screen and waited for him to make his move.
"I summon Trident Warrior!"
Trident Warrior-1800
"When he is summoned, I can special summon a level 3 or below monster from my hand to the field. I select Delta Flyer."
Delta Flyer-1500
"Once per turn, its special ability gives a different monster a level. And now that my Trident Warrior is a level 5, I tune them together to create Lightning Tricorn."
Lightning Tricorn-2800
"Lightning Tricorn, attack Junk Destroyer!"
Oh, you are going to be mildly upset, "I activate Shield Warrior's ability from the graveyard. If I remove him from play, one monster on my field is prevented from being destroyed this turn."
"You still take damage."
Life Points Yusei=800
I rolled my eyes as he kept talking, "And then I remove 4 speed counters to deal 800 points of damage to you since I have a speed spell in my hand."
"And in response I activate Damage Eater's ability from the graveyard. If I remove him and a card in my hand from play, the damage I would have taken is instead added to my life points. Maybe Breo should have looked a little more carefully at my deck before he put multiple monsters into my graveyard, which is where their abilities activate."
Life Points Yusei=1600
There may be some changes in Team Unicorn after this duel, if his anger is anything to judge by.
I drew the first card of my turn, "I use Speed World 2's effect, and remove 10 speed counters to get rid of Lightning Tricorn, and then immediately attack you with Junk Destroyer."
"I activate Reanimation Wave, which halves battle damage from a Synchro monster."
Life Points Jean=2700
"An added effect of my trap is it brings a Synchro back from my graveyard with the same level as the one that just attacked me. So Lightning Tricorn returns to the field!"
Lightning Tricorn-2800
Well, not a perfect turn, but I got a lot done, "I place Sonic Chick in defense mode. No monster with 1900 or more attack points can destroy her in battle."
Sonic Chick-300
Jean drew his cards even more dramatically than Jack, which was an achievement to brag about, "I summon Rhinotauras, then have him attack Sonic Chick while Lightning Tricorn attacks Junk Destroyer!"
Rhinotauras-1800
Poor Sonic Chick, sorry about using you as cannon fodder.
Life Points Yusei=1400
"When two or more of your monsters are destroyed in battle, Rhinotauras can attack again. Go for Yusei directly!"
A/N: Welcome back, wonderful readers! Sorry that I'm an evil author.
Review time!
PipeDreamPrayer: No problem about the explaination. And if I do write the sequel like I've been thinking about, Yusei will make a deck that is built to irritate those who use Deck Destruction.
