Chapter 192: Tenth Generation's Divine Draw Class
In 2004, a vicious card was released that seemed useless at first glance, but after being put into the environment, it actually caused quite a stir quickly.
Its name is [Temple Guardian].
Four stars, defense 1900. The effect is that while it is on the field, the opponent cannot draw cards outside of the draw phase.
The first thing that comes to mind when seeing this card is "Pot of Greed", a super-common accessory that almost everyone carried before it was banned. It seems to have some practical value, but not too much. Therefore, its single card quality was generally rated as average in the early days, and it did not get a chance to mix into mainstream construction.
Until a newspaper deck based entirely on it was born.
That is to say, the Temple Stream's codex was completely destroyed.
The idea is very simple. Just keep the Temple Guardian on the field, and then activate a hand replacement effect, so that the opponent discards the hand but cannot continue to draw cards, then the opponent will naturally explode.
Just like what You Xuan did in this duel.
At first glance, it seems that as long as you have both "Handbook Erase" and "Temple Guardian" in your hand, you can complete the combo. As long as Temple Guardian is on the field, and then you activate Hand Erase, the opponent must discard all cards in his hand, but cannot draw cards again.
However, it is not that simple. When the Temple Guardian is on the field, effects such as allowing the opponent to draw cards cannot be activated, including "Hand Erase". So if the Temple Guardian is summoned first, Hand Erase cannot be activated.
However, this did not pose any difficulty for the underworld predecessors who were pursuing the pleasure of revenge against society back then.
Since it cannot be activated when the Temple Guardian is present, wouldn't it be fine to activate the Hand Wipe first and then summon the Temple Guardian?
First, activate the hand erase, and then before the effect is resolved, chain a two-speed trap like "Call of the Living Dead" to resurrect the Temple Guardian from the graveyard. In this way, when the effect is resolved, the opponent must discard all the cards in his hand, but cannot draw cards, and will die directly on the spot.
Alternatively, you can use the "Transformation Pot" which has a similar card drawing effect to achieve a combo.
In fact, this deck is mainly for entertainment. Although it has competitive ability, it is not that strong during the period of chaos. But the main point is happiness.
Of course, it is easy to imagine that this deck can easily turn from playing cards to real-life PK. Especially when you start with a great hand, and the opponent's hand is blown up in the first round without doing anything, the next step may be to roll up your sleeves.
Just as You Xuan put away the duel disk, the Silent Magician appeared in spirit form, holding his staff with a vigilant look on his face, and stood guard over his master.
Perhaps even she instinctively felt that after such a duel, her master would most likely be beaten.
Especially since the other party was a wild, muscular man, a super soldier-level savage who could tear a rolling door with his bare hands. It was not impossible for him to come up and use his fists in a rage.
But that didn't happen. After playing cards, Da Shanping fell to the ground, and the cards in the duel disk flew all over the ground. Passers-by who didn't know what was going on looked like they had lost the dark duel.
Well, the look of lifeless eyes and collapsed faith in him right now really did look like he had lost the dark duel.
"That's not the case. Duels don't work like this."
He muttered to himself.
"A duel is a duel of drawing cards, and drawing cards should be the truth. It shouldn't be like this."
".What on earth have I been doing this year?"
Hayato couldn't help but feel sorry for it.
Bad, another crazy one.
+1 for members of the Yugen Victims Association.
The poor savage had been isolated from the world for a year, completely immersed in his own world. If he had come back to the academy to spend two months, he would at least be mentally prepared for the strange atmosphere in the academy and would not doubt that life was like this.
But let alone Dashan, in fact, Hayato himself was a little worried when watching the cards in each game.
Brother Ye Ren has trained to this level, but he still can't avoid being tortured by the newspaper people. What will the future of this college be like?
Only Judai remained the same as always. "Wow! What an interesting duel! There is such a cool tactic. Youxuan is so strong! Of course you are also strong. You are all so awesome hahahaha."
Brother Savage looked at the jellyfish head with despair.
Is it interesting? Where is it interesting?
I didn't feel that.
"But I think your thinking is a bit off. Duel and card drawing have nothing to do with nature or anything like that." Judai stepped forward and said, "Your card drawing is indeed amazing, but how should I put it?"
He frowned and thought for a moment, then formulated his words.
"Oh, I'm not very good at talking. But it's just a feeling. You always emphasize blending into nature, becoming a part of the world, etc. But it's not like that. How boring would a duel like that be?
Every time a duelist draws a card, it's like they're creating a new world with their own hands. Every time they draw a card, they're creating the future. Rather than integrating into the world, it's more like creating it for themselves.
Instead of thinking about all that mess, it's better to immerse yourself in the duel itself. Looking forward to the miracle that may happen when you draw a card next time, and then being so excited that you can't stop, isn't this the true meaning of dueling?"
Da Shanping was at a loss: "Is it like this?"
If it were ten minutes ago, the confident him would have scoffed at Judai's theory and firmly believed that he had found the right path.
But after experiencing the deep feeling of powerlessness in the duel just now, he is no longer so sure.
Even in my heart I couldn't help but doubt——
——Maybe I really practiced the magic skills incorrectly and took the wrong path?
You Xuan: “.”
Well, as expected, talented players and acquired players each have their own theories.
You Xuan naturally had not studied the art of divine drawing very much, so he did not dare to make any conclusions. But from the sound of this theory, it seemed that the tenth generation's divine drawing was outstanding in that it was done at will.
Compared with Dashan's practice, he does not have a clear purpose. He does not deliberately think about which cards to draw and which cards not to draw. Even when facing difficulties, he will not think "If I draw XXX now, I can break the situation."
The main point of Judai is to let the deck play freely. Perhaps in his opinion, drawing cards with too much purpose will lose the excitement and anticipation of the duel. It is because the next card is unknown to him that he is excited.
If this is true, then the tenth generation and the previous generation Duel King Atem may be taking a different route. Atem, who has mastered the art of fighting in the battle ritual, is a typical representative of "whatever you shout comes true", while the tenth generation focuses on stepping on the accelerator and steering at will.
However, this is just You Xuan's personal guess at the moment. He has only a little experience in the divine drawing, and there is still a lot to learn.
"Of course it is like this!"
Judai was quite confident in his theory. He patted Dashan on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"You Xuan thinks so too, right?"
You Xuan: "Really?"
"See, he thinks so too," Judai said to Ooyama seriously.
You Xuan: “.”
That's it, then.
As long as you are happy, Judai-san.
