My Stubborn Soul Card Follower
Chapter 727 - 466: 16,000 Life Value Instantly Defeated? Cheating?! (10,000-Word - )
Everyone was immersed in the unfolding performance of Shen Sui's final round just now.
The key to the duel's victory was not on the [Star Abyss White Dragon · Qishala]. Almost everyone, upon seeing Shen Sui retrieve the Star Abyss White Dragon from his deck, already knew how he would conclude this duel.
The [Star Abyss White Dragon · Qishala] is indeed an extremely exaggerated Follower Card, so much so that every Life Card Master facing Shen Sui now would insert a few Life Cards in their deck to prevent the Star Abyss White Dragon from infinite chaining.
However, it's clear that Qishala was merely the finisher of this duel, while the true winning hand was [Daylight Divine Selection · Alice].
"No, it's not Alice," Tan Song muttered, touching his chin, "the real key is on that white-haired little girl."
The white-haired little girl he was referring to was obviously Mitole.
[Daylight Divine Selection · Alice] requires liberating three Soul Cards on the field to transform, a condition that's not easily met.
Most Life Card Masters simply don't have this many Soul Cards, and many are still puzzled as to where Shen Sui even obtained so many Soul Cards.
On the other hand, even if one has this many Soul Cards, summoning them all to the field is extremely difficult, as Life Cards appear randomly through the Dueling Device, and you can't perfectly cover all your Soul Cards with the right keywords.
Take Shen Sui, who possesses [Daylight Divine Selection · Alice], as an example. His Soul Cards in their initial forms do not share a single keyword.
Therefore, to satisfy the summoning condition of the Daylight Divine Selection, Shen Sui had to choose another method: graveyard stacking. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Compared to retrieving Life Cards from the deck, recovering them from the graveyard is obviously much simpler.
And the [Loli Dragon Maid · Mitole] is still a Follower Card, incorporating graveyard stacking, graveyard resource recovery, plus Soul Cards retrieval, perfectly suiting the needs of [Daylight Divine Selection · Alice].
Of course, compared to Qishala, who can end the game directly with infinite chains, and Alice, who shocks the world with her numerous forms, Mitole, who jumps between the hand, the field, and the graveyard, was understandably less noticed.
However, after tonight's duel, when Life Card Masters review the duel video, they will most likely discover Mitole's role in it.
Alice and Qishala are both Soul Cards, and according to the basic rules, cannot be listed as Forbidden Cards, so if there's a need to alter Shen Sui's strategy, Mitole is most likely the target.
By the second match, An Hai unexpectedly suggested a position switch.
"Huh? You're letting me handle the first turn?" Ji Bubai was a bit surprised.
An Hai, as honest as ever, said, "I'm afraid that if we don't do this, you probably wouldn't get to see your own turn in the next match either."
In the first match of the BO3, everyone was intimidated by Shen Sui's performance, with only a few people noticing the unfortunate Ji Bubai.
Who could have imagined that in a team duel match with 16,000 Life Value, their side wouldn't even make it to the second turn? Ji Bubai, who hadn't played a single card, ended up taking three cannon shots from Qishala, the epitome of collateral damage.
Upon hearing An Hai's words, Ji Bubai, in disbelief, said, "Even with the first move, you can't do anything? That [Daylight Divine Selection · Alice] has no resistance..."
An Hai was silent.
In a single duel, he might have some ways to counter Alice in the Daylight Divine Selection form, but under the special rules of a team duel, for it to be his turn again, many rounds would need to pass; with Shen Sui's tactics, there's no way to last until the start of your next turn.
Moreover...
Even if he could face Shen Sui one-on-one, would he really be able to crack Shen Sui's strategy?
As long as [Loli Dragon Maid · Mitole] isn't banned, it would be nearly impossible.
Just as An Hai had guessed,
in the second match of the finals, An Hai and Ji Bubai's team drew the First-Attack Card.
As the first-attack card was drawn, cold sweat appeared on Ji Bubai's forehead.
He had never been this afraid of the first turn before.
Glancing at the opponent, upon confirming Shen Sui would play after him, Ji Bubai felt even more pressure.
If the ground hadn't been set properly, Shen Sui could take him out in no time.
The only consolation was that it was still a bit challenging for Shen Sui to meet [Daylight Divine Selection · Alice]'s summoning conditions.
It was common knowledge that Shen Sui's deck contained a total of four Soul Cards: Alice, Qishala, Freymia, and Martina. Without Bai Ye's Cheryl to serve as a buffer, if Shen Sui wanted to transform Alice to the Daylight Divine Selection form, he must summon and liberate the remaining three Soul Cards.
When Shen Sui uses Qishala as the cost for the liberation, can he find a suitable follower to deal 16,000 damage?
Carrying this bit of wishful thinking, Ji Bubai entered his own turn.
The Shipgirl Card Set, compared to other card sets from the Extraordinary World, lacked some astonishing creativity, giving off a steady and stable vibe in its duel style.
