DN Chronicles *Remake*

[Atypical-Abbie]

Awwwww, he's adorable:

[Atypical-Abbie]

Didn't even notice I could kill him this turn ha:

[Enguin Enguin Enguin Enguin]

He summoned the bouncing Tellarknight and then after attacking with it put the one who can negate the activation of DARK monster effects over that, since he knew I had Jinzo having just bounced it. When, on the next turn I tribute Carrier to summon Jinzo and bounce back his Wyrm chap, he argues that Jinzo's continuous effect which does not start a chain does in fact both activate and start a chain, prompting my efforts to make him understand the error of his ways.

 

[spoiler=It took far longer than it should have]

TheGreatEnguin: Pen 1

TheGreatEnguin: Carrier

TheGreatEnguin: Doesn't activate

blue eye dragon123: eff 

blue eye dragon123: ofc 

blue eye dragon123: it does

blue eye dragon123: when u summon u activate

TheGreatEnguin: It's continuous

blue eye dragon123: yeah so when u activate something it doesnt mater if it is contionious or what ele

blue eye dragon123: else

TheGreatEnguin: It's not an effect that activates just like Denko Sekka doesn't activate

blue eye dragon123: look

TheGreatEnguin: It's applied once it hits the field but doesn't actually activate

blue eye dragon123: when jinzo isnt on the field

blue eye dragon123: was the eff there?

blue eye dragon123: no

TheGreatEnguin: You're wrong so whatever you are going to say makes no odds

blue eye dragon123: but 

blue eye dragon123: like chemistery

blue eye dragon123: if u want to start something u have to create/make an effect

blue eye dragon123: so u activated jinzo's eff

TheGreatEnguin: Oh my god you are talking some true premium bollocks

blue eye dragon123: if u say so 

blue eye dragon123: idc

blue eye dragon123: u had to acivate the eff to resolve it

TheGreatEnguin: You are utterly incorrect

TheGreatEnguin has called an admin

blue eye dragon123: am gonna search it

TheGreatEnguin: ...

blue eye dragon123: we also just 

blue eye dragon123: can go on

blue eye dragon123: my mosnter goes to grave

blue eye dragon123: and ur monster to grave

blue eye dragon123: m monster for sure goes to grave

blue eye dragon123: ikr

blue eye dragon123: bu stilll

TheGreatEnguin: Yours returns to the extra

TheGreatEnguin: Not destroyed

blue eye dragon123: ikr

blue eye dragon123: but ur jnzo 

TheGreatEnguin: It's a continous effect that is applied once he is successfully summoned, it doesn't activate so you can't negate it with that

TheGreatEnguin: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Continuous_Monster_Effect

blue eye dragon123: to begin with

blue eye dragon123: can u pls cancel the call

blue eye dragon123: cuz am reading

TheGreatEnguin has canceled the admin call

TheGreatEnguin: Since Continuous Monster Effects do not start a Chain, they cannot be negated by cards that can only respond to the activation of effects, such as "Divine Wrath" and "Doomcaliber Knight"

TheGreatEnguin: "Jinzo" and "Starduston" are two such cards with Continuous Effects.

blue eye dragon123: hmm

blue eye dragon123: a sec

TheGreatEnguin: What the funk

TheGreatEnguin: What more can I do

blue eye dragon123: nothing

blue eye dragon123: go on

TheGreatEnguin: How is that not enough proof

blue eye dragon123 has lost 2400 life points

TheGreatEnguin: Mono

blue eye dragon123: wait

blue eye dragon123: stop

blue eye dragon123: i manige

blue eye dragon123: lol

blue eye dragon123: u had 

TheGreatEnguin: What

TheGreatEnguin: Yes

blue eye dragon123: yes u had

blue eye dragon123: and

blue eye dragon123: the descrition is

blue eye dragon123: summon other monsters than qli monsters

TheGreatEnguin: I can normal summon anything

blue eye dragon123: and jinzo isnt a qli

TheGreatEnguin: I can't special other things

TheGreatEnguin: You're really taking the piss at this point

blue eye dragon123: oow right..

blue eye dragon123 has left the duel

Apparently I am a dick for not wanting to let him use Heraldic Pat's effect when he didn't even activate its effect when he should  have. His whole argument of it being unrated is complete bs, it's not my fault that he can't keep track of his own card effects and then tries to activate it in the wrong phase. :|

 

The PM that followed suit:

 

Zandaa of the Thunde: Play correctly and I wouldn't need to be a dick

Zandaa of the Thunde: :|

Rustywolf: Or, you know

Rustywolf: Don't be a dick in normals

Rustywolf: Ranked, whatever, be a dick, there's a point

Zandaa of the Thunde: Guess I am a dick for not wanting to give my opponent free advantage when he/she passed the correct timing for a card effect.

Rustywolf: yes, in normals, when three effects went off at the same time

Rustywolf: You're being a dick

Rustywolf: Gz

Zandaa of the Thunde: Not my fault that you can't keep track of your own card effects. :|

Rustywolf: Look, if you want to be a dick, play ranked. It's quite simple

Rustywolf: If you don't want to play against people making mistakes and trying new decks and who want to play to their maximum potential, regardless of small fuckups

Rustywolf: Then don't play normals. It's not for you.

Rustywolf: You clearly want a competitive place. That's not normals.

I don't know if he thought I wasn't going to Chain Ptole, I mean, why on earth wouldn't I? But hey, he seemed like a scrub anyway:

[EndUser]

 

Imperial Iron Wall was a true nightmare: no BTH, no Allure, nothing. A never-leaving Chiwen and Skill Drain on top that.

No Kaluts left, no Typhoon/Icarus drawn,... Apparently, I lost.

 

(In case you wonder about Ghibli: It's rather a fan-made deck than a very solid one.)

[Atypical-Abbie]

He didn't understand how he could Summon Cyber Dragon from the Deck with Machine Duplication by targeting Core. After finally continuing, he gives me this golden response:

[Astolfo]

So like, I used Godnarch!Erebus on this guy first turn, he accidentally discards instead of shuffling his hand target, turns out it's Majespecter Cyclone.

I use the banished Pandeity to get triple Tenacity, search for March and activate.

Set, end. He opens Raccoon, and then quits.

 

Maybe he realized that defeats the point of his whole deck

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'll be one-upping Neph in just a moment, but first is my obligatory "Never underestimate Hustle Rustle" post:

He already went -2 getting rid of a Machina Fortress I had summoned; first by using Sharp to TARGET it and switch it to DEF (discarded a RUM Astral), then destroyed it by battle, letting me kill his Vanity's Emptiness. So then after that, he went for a direct attack where all I had was a set Terraforming and then...

 

And now, the one-up:

See, what's missing from this picture is not only the Raigeki he tried to use that I initially chained on, but the Tenki he sent to the grave with Bear to try and pop it afterwards. THEN, he tossed his hand on the field and hoped he could use Dark Rebellion to lower his attack. It's hilarious, because he clearly didn't read the card, and his line of thought was "Oh, maybe it prevents destruction once. Oh, maybe it just prevents destruction. Oh... it's like Felgrand..."

Fear the trains.

That host in the top right knows quality animu when he sees it.

You should see what happened later, about 5 people ended up posting that.

[Astolfo]

Would that guy have gotten banned for an inappropriate duel note if he had said BnP was his favorite?

[cr47t]

Basically used the effs of all my deskbot 003s to buff deskbot 004 to 8000 atk, used deskbot 004s eff to mill 005 and get to 10500 atk, then he uses magic cylinder XD

[The Nyx Avatar]

 

Such pride for this archetype, but a bird's still no match for a train.

 

Also:

They brought out Cyber Dragon Infinity. Thankfully, Dora doesn't care.

[ÆƵ–]

Some people just can't let go of the past.

Or their Blue eyes

Completely stole the win from this sucker.

 

This is basically just another duel against Scrub-Eyes Noob Dragon. He's running a primarily-fusion deck with 3(!) Summoned Skulls. My first turn, I open: Switchyard, Machina Fortress, Scrap Recycler, MST, and Instant Fusion. I summon Scrap, mill Ruffian, then activate Switchyard and trade the Fortress for a Night Express Knight. I set MST, then at the end of my turn use Ruffian to search Hustle Rustle.

 

On his turn, he uses a bunch of mill/draw cards, and ultimately MST's my MST. Then, uses Red-Eyes Fusion to summon Archfiend Black Skull Dragon, then equips it with Black Metal Dragon for massive damage against my poor Recycler. he sets 1 card (Champion's Vigilance) and ends his turn.

 

On my next turn, my options are thin. I draw Gearframe. To destroy the BSD, I can't beat over it. My LP were at 2700, so playing defensively would be risky with the burn effects on board. Gangaridai is an option, but ultimately fragile with no inherent protection. So what do? I start with Instant Fusion to use Norden. Get Ruffian back out; R4 into Castel. I then use Castel to bounce the BSD and see what they would search with Black Metal Dragon. I mean, even a bad Red-Eyes deck is only going to run ONE Summoned Skull, right? Well he used Black Metal Dragon to search another Fusion. It was this moment I knew that he must have had at least one more Summoned Skull in the deck or on hand, and that this was potentially my last turn. He didn't use his set to stop Castel, so I knew there was a good chance that I had an opening. I mean, Castel was on board and Archfiend BSD deals piercing + burn damage. With only 1700 LP, my options were to either go all-in-no-fear, or lose. After doing some math, I took the latter.

 

I summon Machina Gearframe, search my second Fortress, then pitch both Hustle and Night Express Knight for two Fortresses on the field. Then, I unleash hell and beat down a real quick OTK, stealing the win. Seriously, who runs Champion's Vigilance?! I was expecting at LEAST a Mirror Force or a Fiendish Chain.

 

Anyways, don't run Fusion Red-Eyes. It's a bad deck, and pales in comparison to Xyz Red-Eyes.

[goodfusion]

Cool people run Ritual Red-Eyes. :P

[Cosmo.]

Cool people run Ritual Red-Eyes. :P

But the coolest people DON'T run red-eyes

[shadowsapex]

Nah, they run Blue-Eyes.

 

Shining Dragon.

[The Nyx Avatar]

Nah, they run Blue-Eyes.

 

Shining Dragon.

Yes.

[spoiler=Pure Monarchs vs pure Glad Beasts, who's gonna win?]

 

 

(Saying "the deck is nuts" is about how overboosted it became, its power is subjective.)

[Cosmo.]

Instead of consistancy issues i read conspiracy issues. Monarchs illuminati confirmed

It's not your fault; the wrong is written wrongly in a way that it looks more like "conspiracy" instead of "consistency".  ;)

 

 

 

There's more from today's exercise. A battle between character decks. Kaiba vs Shark. A splendid duel:

[spoiler= ]

 

[spoiler= ]

 

 

  Lots of Give 'n' Take. I struggled more, though, because 1) Kaiba's original deck cannot compete as it does in the Anime and 2) because I hadn't drawn Pot of Greed or Graceful Charity - two very important cards for the incosistency the decks has.

  I wanted to screenshot the moment when I drew Spell Reproduction (LMFAO when I did, the only cards in my hand were 2 useless Spells and 1 Blue-Eyes)
