stars.
Spirit Value.
When he saw the value of the Wind Elent Empress, the once arrogant Wang Hongjing imdiately fell silent.
Because, damn it, the highest Spirit Value of all the followers in his entire deck is just 4000.
This ant that the possibility of defeating the Wind Elent Empress through battle was extrely slim.
He was silent.
Truly silent.
Despite all his efforts, he couldn’t find a single 13-star Elent follower, yet Shen Sui casually pulled out a 14-star one. As a Life Card Master of the Elental World, Wang Hongjing was on the verge of collapse inside.
However, Shen Sui’s play was far from over.
He activated the effect of the Wind Elent Empress, allowing him once per turn to return an Elent follower card and an Elent Spell Card from the graveyard to the deck, and then add a Life Card from his deck to his hand, with the usage cost of the card added this way waived.
"When I use this Life Card," Shen Sui announced the second part of the Wind Elent Empress’s effect, "I can draw Life Cards from the deck equal to the number of Elent followers on the field."
"Once per turn, search for a Life Card with reduced costs and draw cards. This card is rather impressive," Theis comnted, stroking his chin, "Not just this card; this kid’s Life Cards all have so power."
The Life Card Shen Sui chose to add to his hand was: Rebellion.
Event Card Rebellion.
A card Shen Sui added to his deck specifically for this duel.
When pre-match intelligence is done well, one can always gain the upper hand during the duel.
Especially against formulaic players like Wang Hongjing, such targeted strategies beco increasingly effective.
The effect of Rebellion is that until the end of the next opponent’s turn, neither side can declare an attack, and at the end of each battle phase, all followers controlled by the turn’s player will attack their owner directly.
At this mont, including the Wind Elent Empress, there were a total of five Elent followers on the field, so Shen Sui drew five cards from his deck.
With this wave of card replenishnt, Shen Sui had resources in hand and activated the effect of the last card in his hand, the Cursed Puppet Natalie, which had been discarded to the graveyard due to Elental Descent. He sent three Puppet followers to the graveyard to activate Elental Descent again from the deck.
By discarding a card from his hand, he special summoned the Wood Elent Empress Andori from the deck.
He activated Andori’s effect, sending her to the graveyard, allowing Shen Sui to special summon an Elent follower from his deck.
This ti, Shen Sui wanted to summon the last yet-to-appear Elental Empress: Rock Elent Empress Rafra.
Shen Sui proceeded to release the Wind Elent Empress. Since this follower was special summoned by Elental Descent, it would be sent to the graveyard at the end of the turn anyway.
The most crucial part was, if he didn’t release her, Shen Sui wouldn’t dare to activate the Event Card Rebellion; otherwise, the rebellious Elental Empresses would take him out before the opponent’s turn even started.
Rebellion is one of the rare Event Cards that doesn’t provide the Life Card Master with a first-move advantage. This is why Shen Sui removed it from the deck. It usually only has value when facing many opposing followers, as the rebelling followers attack the owner.
Likewise, Shen Sui also released the Golden Ship.
In such a special summon-restrictive environnt, even if Shen Sui summoned Alice, she wouldn’t have many chances to trigger effects.
After covering two Spell Cards with Soul Points, Shen Sui activated Rebellion at the end of the main phase.
The multi-colored snowflakes paused slightly the mont the Event Card was activated.
Wang Hongjing felt a bit uncomfortable.
The reason he employs such formulaic tactics, aside from the strength of the system, is the scarcity of Environnt Cards and Event Cards.
These two types of cards are not widespread, which often ans Wang Hongjing doesn’t need to consider the possibility of Environnt Cards being nullified or Event Cards bypassing restrictions.
"Cannot declare attacks... Direct attack to the owner at the end of the turn..."
Wang Hongjing looked at the effect of Rebellion and began to ponder its impact on himself.
Honestly, he couldn’t comprehend Shen Sui’s purpose in activating Rebellion.
I could just release my own followers, right? That way, wouldn’t I just avoid the effects of this Event Card?
Just as Wang Hongjing couldn’t understand, Shen Sui ended his turn.
At this point, Shen Sui’s last follower on the field, Rock Elent Empress Rafra, directly attacked Shen Sui.
damage was about to land on Shen Sui.
"Activate the effect of Rock Elent Empress Rafra." As the dust settled, Shen Sui stood unhard in place, "When she deals battle damage, I can trigger this effect to avoid this damage. If the avoided damage is greater than 4000, until the start of my next turn, I cannot release followers on the field, and I can use card effects up to X tis, where X is the number of followers I control."
This was his main objective!
Wang Hongjing understood Shen Sui’s intent the mont he saw the effect of the Rock Elent Empress.
Looking at the remaining four followers on his field, 3000 2000 1500 1500. If he didn’t draw an Event Card to counter Rebellion, his followers would take him out at the end of his turn.
My deck doesn’t even have Event Cards!
