Looking at the Swamp King of the Swamp sent to the graveyard, You Xuan was a little helpless.
Actually, he wanted to build a pure Gem-Knight deck, but although he got 30 cards from the system, many of them were extra deck fusion monsters.
Therefore, You Xuan had to dismantle some of the cards from his previous deck and add them to this one.
Among them were the Three-Eyed Monster, the Black Forest Witch, and the Swamp King of the Swamp.
But to be honest, the Swamp King of the Swamp doesn't really match You Xuan's Gem-Knight deck.
Although the Swamp King of the Swamp's effect is to search the deck for a fusion, it can only search for that one fusion card, not any magic card with "fusion" in the name.
Therefore, neither Bright Fusion nor Gem-Knight Fusion can be searched.
And the effect to replace materials can only replace fusion materials listed in full on fusion monster cards, because most Gem-Knights don't list their full names, so it's useless.
However, You Xuan had placed Amethyst in his extra deck, so the Swamp King of the Swamp could be used to some extent.
It's just better than nothing.
"At this moment, the effect of Gem-Knight Lapis activates, if this card is sent to the graveyard by a card effect, you can choose one Normal Monster from your graveyard and add it to your hand, I choose Gem-Knight Luster in the graveyard to add to my hand."
Gem-Knight Luster is a 3-star Normal Monster with an ATK of 1200, meeting the criteria.
This is the advantage of Gem-Knights in performing fusions, they can often repeatedly return fusion materials from the graveyard to the hand or field, making their plays less card disadvantageous.
You Xuan returned Gem-Knight Luster from his graveyard to his hand.
"Then, I use Gem-Knight Obsidian's additional Normal Summon effect, by offering Gem-Knight Armadillo and Gem-Knight Amethyst on the field, come forth, Gem-Knight Lazuli!"
You Xuan slammed the card from his deck onto the field.
According to the rules of the Duel City Tournament, to summon level 4 or higher monsters you need a tribute, level 5 and 6 you sacrifice 1 monster, and level 7 and higher you sacrifice 2 monsters.
Gem-Knight Lazuli is a level 7 monster and requires two tributes.
"Is this your ace card? It's indeed a rare and uncommon card."
The Rare Card Hunter, looking at the noble and powerful high-level warrior on the field, his eyes gleamed with greed that was impossible to hide.
Once this card belongs to him, his status within the organization will surely rise significantly.
"At this moment, the effect of Gem-Knight Amethyst, which was sent from the field to the graveyard, activates, when this card is sent from the field to the graveyard, all face-down magic and trap cards on the field are returned to the hand of their owner."
A dazzling purple light erupted from the graveyard, sweeping across both players' spell and trap zones.
"Tsk."
The Rare Card Hunter returned the card to his hand, the card he had set wasn't a spell or trap that could be activated directly.
However, he wasn't nervous, he still had many monsters on the field, enough to sustain him for a while.
And he was about to assemble the cards leading to victory.
The opponent could not change the outcome!
"Then, I activate the effect of "Strongest Reinforcements.""
The Rare Card Hunter saw You Xuan play another unfamiliar magic card, and didn't care, but soon his face changed.
Because he saw the effect of that magic card: "Check your opponent's hand and return one card from it to the deck."
"Show me your hand!"
You Xuan showed a devilish smile.
No matter how unwilling the Rare Card Hunter was, he could only turn over his hand and expose it to You Xuan.
"Oh, this is quite dangerous."
In the Rare Card Hunter's hand of five cards, besides the face-down "Attack Nullifier," were four pieces of Exodia, only missing the Left Arm to complete the set.
Seeing this, You Xuan felt a chill run down his spine, if the opponent had been a little luckier just now, using two "Angel's Grace" to draw all the pieces, then the outcome would have been decided.
"I choose to return "Exodia the Forbidden One" to the deck."
If the card had a spirit, it would definitely say at this moment: "Brother You Xuan, don't!"
Oh, but bootleg cards don't have card spirits, so it's fine.
"You!"
The Rare Card Hunter was furious, but could only return the piece to his deck.
You Xuan smiled slightly, hand disruption is also a part of Yu-Gi-Oh, if you're not happy, don't play.
But even after doing all this, he wasn't careless.
If the opponent got lucky in the next turn, drew a third "Angel's Grace," and then drew the "Left Arm," there was a chance, so to be safe, he needed to win this turn.
"Next, I activate "Black Hole," destroy all monsters on the field."
In the center of the field, a black hole suddenly appeared, swirling continuously, under the irresistible force of gravity, all monsters on the field were swallowed up.
It has to be said that the cards in the first generation were all like this, with just a few short words, their effects were simple, brutal, and direct.
You Xuan looked at the cards sent to the opponent's graveyard, a 2000 DEF "Sacred Elf."
He was afraid that the monster on this side was a "Three-Eyed Monster" or a "Black Forest Witch," a monster that could search for cards.
That would allow the opponent to search for another "Forbidden One" piece, risking them completing Exodia.
That's why he used "Strongest Reinforcements" to disrupt his hand beforehand, it seems he was overthinking.
"He actually destroyed all his own monsters."
Seeing You Xuan's actions, the Rare Card Hunter was even more confused.
Although this left his field empty, the opponent's three monsters were clearly stronger, and he actually abandoned his own advantage, what was he doing?
"Wait, are you trying to defeat me this turn?"
The Rare Card Hunter realized and was incredibly surprised.
"It seems your brain isn't completely rotten, you're not just here to mock people, let me show you my methods."
You Xuan activated the "Bright Fusion" he had drawn with "Pot of Greed."
"I send Gem-Knight Luster and two Gem-Knight Obsidian from my deck to the graveyard, come forth, Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond!"
A brilliant Gem light burst forth on the field, from bottom to top, illuminating the dim street, the female knight stepped onto the field in high heels, holding a long sword, looking sharp and heroic, her body was covered with bright diamonds in several key places, dazzling and blinding, with a queenly air.
Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond is a powerful Gem-Knight fusion monster, requiring three Gem-Knights to fuse onto the field.
"You really think you have a special method? It's just another fusion, your fusion monster cannot attack this turn, just end your turn honestly!"
"End? The fun's just getting started!"
You Xuan looked at Brilliant Diamond and commanded, "I activate Brilliant Diamond's effect, come forth, Gem-Knight King Brilliant Diamond!"
