CH.547 Deck Master Tournament, part 2
<span style="font-weight:400">Other than Elias, Mariina, Cardo, Indigo, Maris, Maiko, Damian (one of the students from the magic academies) and Mikj (from the Kitchen Knights) got to the second round.
<span style="font-weight:400">For the quarter finals, Mariina was against Elias. Which could have been enough of a match, but I won’t cover it because of Elias. He made a one sided bet with Mariina where if he wins, Mariina will marry him.
<span style="font-weight:400">… Yeah. I didn’t approve of the bet and almost kicked out Elias for even making it, but Mariina didn’t want that, and proceeded to FTK and then OTK Elias with her Power Bond Ultimate Golem, tribute for burn strategy. The only reason she didn’t FTK Elias twice is because Elias chose to go first in the second duel.
<span style="font-weight:400">Don’t ask me with what luck she keeps pulling her FTKbo. I know people taking part in my tournaments have anime luck. Don’t think I haven’t noticed.
<span style="font-weight:400">Then again, so did I when I dueled Elias in thest tournament, so what can I say?
<span style="font-weight:400">Cardo went against Indigo, and Indigo ended up winning that one. By the way, Cardo was running a Light focused deck with Honest as his deck master.
<span style="font-weight:400">Maris, with her Jinzo Dinosaur deck, went against Maiko, who is running Fortune Ladies. Maiko ended up winning that one.
<span style="font-weight:400">And thest quarter final was Damian against Mikj. Damian had a HERO deck with Stratos, while Mikj ran Dragons with Blue-Eyes. And unlike what happened in the GX anime, when Jaden dueled Kaibaman, E-Heroes won, and Damian made it to the semi-finals.
<hr>
<span style="font-weight:400">In the semi-finals, the matchups were Mariina vs. Indigo and Damian vs. Maiko.
<span style="font-weight:400">And since we are at the semi-finals, I think I’ll actually cover the duels.
<span style="font-weight:400">Starting off was a match I hoped didn’t go like Mariina’s other matches, Mariina vs. Indigo.
<span style="font-weight:400">Ancient Gears vs. diator Beasts.
<span style="font-weight:400">As a quick reminder of both of their deck masters, Mariina has Ancient Gear Cannon. With it she can, once per turn, during her turn, tribute one monster you control to inflict damage to your opponent equal to the on the field attack of the tributed monster. Also for the rest of the turn, her opponent cannot activate Spells or Traps.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Meanwhile Indigo has Test Tiger.
<span style="font-weight:400">It not only makes it so that d Beasts don’t have to return to the deck or extra deck when their condition procs, but they can be returned to the deck whenever you want, and it is treated as them being returned by their own effect. Except during the battle phase. I had to add that limit after testing the deck myself, because otherwise one battle phase with a clear board would automatically win you the duel.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">But let’s get into the duel.
<span style="font-weight:400">It began with Indigo going first. She opened with diator Beast''s Respite. She returned diator Beast Alexander and diator Beast Octavius to her deck and drew three cards.

<span style="font-weight:400">She then set two cards and ended her turn.
<span style="font-weight:400">Then it was Mariina’s turn, and she looked quite happy. Probably because she had her FTK/OTKbo in hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">She started off with Machine Factory, which is a new card I made for this tournament. It just searches for a LV.4 or lower Machine-type monster. She got an Ancient Gear Knight with it.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">She then used Power Bond to fuse together Ancient Gear Golem, Ancient Gear Knight and Ancient Gear to fusion summon Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem, with its attack doubled.

<span style="font-weight:400">But, before she could use her deck master’s ability, Indigo responded with her own deck master’s ability. With Test Tiger, she returned diator Beast Laquari to her deck. And since Test Tiger’s return effect is treated as being returned by the effect of the d Beast monster, she was then able to summon a different d Beast from the deck, and she summoned diator Beast Murmillo.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Which both gave a counter to Colosseum - Cage of the diator Beasts and triggered the effect of Murmillo. When summoned by the effect of a d Beast, Murmillo allows you to target one monster on the field and destroy it. So Indigo used the effect to destroy Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem.
<span style="font-weight:400">This naturally triggered the effect of Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem to summon back the regr Ancient Gear Golem.
<span style="font-weight:400">But Indigo also used one of her set traps, diator Lash. Since she special summoned a d Beast, Mariina has to discard a card. She discarded Ancient Gear Castle.

<span style="font-weight:400">Mariina was about to move to her battle phase, but before she could, Indigo used Test Tiger multiple times, returning d Beasts to the deck and summoning new ones in their ces. This built up counters on her Field Spell, until she had 6 of them and she summoned diator Beast Octavius.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">And since her Field Spell has 6 counters, Octavius has 3100 attack, which is more than the Gear Golem, so Mariina didn’t bother to battle. She set herst card and ended her turn.
<span style="font-weight:400">But, during her end phase, she took 4400 damage because of Power Bond.

<span style="font-weight:400">The second duel began and Mariina was going first.
<span style="font-weight:400">She began by activating Geartown. By the way, it is worth mentioning that this tournament runs on the more modern Field Spell rules, so both yers can have one active, and if you activate another Field Spell, the previous one is not treated as having been destroyed. So Mariina can’t just flood the field with Gadjiltron Dragons by activating three copies of Geartown.
Spoiler

<span style="font-weight:400">She then normal summoned Ancient Gear Beast, which she can do without a tribute thanks to Geartown, set a card and ended her turn.

[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Indigo’s turn, and after drawing a card, she summoned diator Beast Equeste.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">To which Mariina responded by activating her set Master Seal. It is a custom trap I made for the tournament, which negates the effects of your opponent’s deck master until the end of the second end phase after this card was activated. So until Mariina’s next end phase, Indigo can’t use her Test Tiger deck master.
<span style="font-weight:400">By the way, you can banish Master Seal from your GY, during your turn only, to negate the effects of a deck master (in the deck master zone) for the turn.
<span style="font-weight:400">And since Equeste is weaker than Ancient Gear Beast, Indigo couldn’t attack. Instead, she equipped her Equeste with diator Beast''s Battle Manica, so it cannot be destroyed by battle. She then set two cards and ended her turn.

<span style="font-weight:400">Mariina’s turn, and she drew a card. She looked a bit dejected, set the card and ended her turn. But before the end of her main phase, Indigo used Test Tiger to return Retiari to the deck, summoning out diator Beast Octavius, which then destroyed Mariina’s set Power Bond.
<span style="font-weight:400">Mariina ended her turn.
<span style="font-weight:400">Indigo’s turn, and after drawing her card, she went staring into her battle phase and attacked directly with Laquari, winning the duel.

<span style="font-weight:400">And with that, Mariina’s FTK journey through the tournament was over. I think it might have just been the matchup. Or maybe I made Test Tiger too OP. But then again, almost no one used d Beasts. Out of all of the people who signed up, only Indigo and one other person used them. So maybe people just didn’t realize how powerful they can be.
