CH.459 Fusion Gate Tournament – part 2

With the tournament continuing, it was time for the second semifinal match.

And it was between the second Prince, Elias. And the Hero’s countries resident cat-girl guide/espionage agent/whatever she actually is, Ula.

I flipped the coin, Elias called for heads, but the coin landed on tails, so Ula got to pick who would go first. She decided to go first and the duel began.

Since Ula was going first, she didn’t get a draw. She just set a monster, followed by setting three cards face down, and ending her turn.

Elias’ turn. He drew a card and immediately after that, Ula flipped up her Continuous Trap, Non-Fusion Area. Now neither of them can Fusion Summon monsters.

Elias frowned a bit seeing the card, but it didn’t stop him. He began by discarding a Thunder Dragon, adding two more copies from his deck to his hand.

Naturally he couldn’t fuse them together, so instead he activated Graceful Charity, drawing three cards and discarding the two Thunder Dragons.

Spoiler[collapse]

He then activated Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Non-Fusion Area, but Ula used her set Fake Trap to prevent the destruction of her flood gate.

Spoiler[collapse]

Elias didn’t seem to have a second MST, as he instead normal summoned a monster, Hibikime.

Spoiler

Ula didn’t respond to the summon, and Elias moved to his battle phase. He attacked Ula’s face down monster with Hibikime, but the face down monster was a Giant Soldier of Stone, so Elias took 550 damage.

Elias ended his turn by setting a spell/trap card.

Back to Ula. After drawing a card, Ula normal summoned Beautiful Headhuntress. She then equipped Black Pendant to it, granting it another 500 attack.

Spoiler[collapse]

Ula didn’t turn her Giant Soldier of Stone to attack mode, but instead went straight into her battle phase. She attacked Hibikime with her boosted Beautiful Headhuntress.

Elias countered by flipping up his set Quick-Play Spell, Rush Recklessly, raising Hibikime’s attack to 2150, which is just over the boosted Beautiful Headhuntress.

Spoiler

Headhuntress was destroyed, Ula took 50 damage, and since Black Pendant was destroyed, Elias took 500 burn damage.

Ula had no choice but to end her turn.

Elias turn.

He drew and started off his turn by playing Upstart Goblin, drawing a card and giving Ula 1000 life points. He followed that up with a second Upstart Goblin, followed by a Pot of Greed. He then played Graceful Charity, drawing three cards before discarding two copies of Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Spoiler[collapse]

He then activated two copies of Monster Reborn from his hand, summoning back the two Blue-Eyes White Dragons he just sent to the GY. Elias then normal summoned Queen's Double in attack mode, before moving to his battle phase.

Spoiler[collapse]

Elias had one of his Blue-Eyes annihilate Giant Soldier of Stone, and then his other Blue-Eyes, as well as his Hibikime and Queen's Double attacked directly.

Ula didn’t stop any of the attacks, so she took 4800 damage, taking Ula down to 5150 life points.

Elias ended his turn.

Ula’s turn, and after drawing a card, she fused together her Giant Soldier of Stone and Ancient Elf to summon Mystical Sand.

Spoiler[collapse]

Ula then equipped her Mystical Sand with Black Pendant, raising its attack to 2600. Then, instead of attacking, Ula set two cards and ended her turn.

Elias’ turn. And after his draw, he activated Dimension Fusion. Because of it, both Ula and Elias summoned the fusion materials of their two fusion monsters.

So for Elias, Queen's Double and Hibikime both in attack, while Ula summoned Giant Soldier of Stone and Ancient Elf both on defense.

Elias then tributed the two monsters he just special summoned, so that he could tribute summon his Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Elias moved to attack, Blue-Eyes attacking the Mystical Sand, but Ula used her Waboku, protecting her monsters and her life points.

Elias ended his turn.

Ula’s turn. After drawing, she activated Pot of Greed to draw two more. One of the two cards she drew was Lucky Iron Axe, so she equipped it to Mystical Sand, raising its attack to 3100.

Spoiler

Ula then declared an attack with Mystical Sand, attacking Empress Judge. The attack went through and Empress Judge was destroyed. Elias took 1000 damage.

Ula then set a card and ended her turn.

Elias’ turn and after his draw, Ula responded by flipping face up her Non-Fusion Area, preventing all fusion summons,

Elias activated a Pot of Greed. Following that came an Upstart Goblin, then a second Pot of Greed, another Upstart Goblin, and finally one Graceful Charity, for which he discarded Re-Fusion and Silent Doom.

Elias then discarded a Thunder Dragon, adding two more Thunder Dragons from his deck to his hand. Following that came his last Pot of Greed. And then another Graceful Charity, after which I noticed a smirk on Elias’ face, as he discarded his two Thunder Dragons.

Elias then used A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon to return his Blue-Eyes to hand, destroying all of Ula’s spell/traps. That included the two equips on Mystical Sand, the Non-Fusion Area, a set Trap Hole, as well as Elias’ own set card, Rush Recklessly. Elias took 500 damage because of Black Pendant and Ula drew a card because of Lucky Iron Axe.

Elias then fused together three Blue-Eyes from his hand, summoning out his ultimate monster, the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. But he didn’t stop there, as he played Dimension Fusion to summon back the three Blue-Eyes he used as materials for a dragon.

And as if that wasn’t enough, Elias then fused the three dragons together, summoning a second Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, followed by his third copy of Dimension Fusion to summon back out his three Blue-Eyes White Dragons.

Sure after all of that, Elias was left with just 500 life points, but it didn’t matter. He equipped Big Bang Shot to one of his Ultimate Dragons, before moving to his battle phase.

Spoiler

[collapse]

Elias’ Big Bang Ultimate Dragon attacked and destroyed the defense position Ancient Elf, inflicting 3700 damage. His other Ultimate Dragon then destroyed the Mystical Sand, inflicting 2400 damage.

One of his Blue-Eyes then destroyed Giant Soldier of Stone, before the last two attacked Ula directly, winning Elias not just the duel, but the match.

And so, our final two had been decided. As Alice predicted, it will be a match between a brother and a sister. Elias vs. Nevelle.
