Yugioh Card Summoner

So… The Pendulum Challenge. As I said, I have way too many new Pendulum monsters. So let’s summon them all.

I again set up my 0 and 13 scales, All-Eyes Phantom Dragon and Odd-Eyes Arcray Dragon. Then I let the Pendulum swing. And summoned the first 10 Pendulum monsters.

Dragoons of Draconia; Performapal Trump Witch; Performapal Partnaga; Performapal Fire Mufflerlion; Performapal Cheermole; Qliphort Carrier; Qliphort Cephalopod; Zefrasaber, Swordmaster of the Nekroz; Performapal Lizardraw; Zefraniu, Secret of the Yang Zing.

But that was just the first 10. I have a lot more. So before even claiming my reward, I returned all those monsters to the deck. I did that with a custom spell I made, Pendulum Return Draw. It returns all Pendulum monsters I control to the deck, and lets me draw a card for each Pendulum monster returned this way. It also allows me to Pendulum summon an additional time ‘this turn’. Not that the concept of a turn is so cut and dry in real life.

And yes, it is absolutely overpowered. Mainly because of just how many cards you get to draw.

Admittedly, if it lacked the extra Pendulum summon or the draw, it wouldn’t be so good. I mean sure, you get potentially a draw 6, if we are talking about the TCG, but most likely you’ll just draw a bunch of Pendulum monsters. And with no Pendulum summon, you likely can’t use them all that well. And if you didn’t get the draw, you would have just returned a bunch of monsters into the deck just for an extra Pendulum summon. The only situation where that would be worth it is if you only returned one, and you still had monsters you can summon in your hand, or face up in the extra deck.

But it can’t be used in a duel anyway, so fuck balance. Time for the next 10.

Performapal Drummerilla; Sky Dragoons of Draconia; Igknight Gallant; Igknight Margrave; Igknight Squire; Mandragon; Performapal Silver Claw; Deskbot 005; Performapal Camelump; Igknight Paladin.

Again, I returned all of them to the deck and moved onto the next set.

Magical Abductor; Performapal Turn Toad; Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon; Dragon Horn Hunter; D/D Savant Kepler; Majespecter Fox - Kyubi; Majespecter Crow - Yata; Vector Pendulum, the Dracoverlord; Performage Plushfire; D/D Savant Galilei.

It feels strange to Pendulum summon Savant Galilei and Savant Kepler, when they were clearly made to be used as the Pendulum scales. Well, Savant Kepler you do want to summon so you can use the search effect, but you don’t usually Pendulum summon it because it is level 1.

Now, next ten.

Igknight Veteran; Majespecter Unicorn - Kirin; Zefraxa, Flame Beast of the Nekroz; Stellarknight Zefraxciton; Samurai Cavalry of Reptier; Deskbot 006; D/D/D Rebel King Leonidas; Performage Mirror Conductor; Igknight Cavalier; D/D/D Oblivion King Abyss Ragnarok.

Now, you might expect me to immediately summon the next ten. But I don’t have ten more. I only have six. But, that is only six when it comes to what I currently have. And I have many, many rewards to claim. I climbed from 24 to 64, and every 5 I get a new reward. So let’s claim them all.

At 25, I got Starving Venemy Dragon + Pendulum Impenetrable.

At 30, I got Pendulum Witch + Pendulum Treasure.

35 was Disablaster the Negation Fortress + Pendulum Transfer.

40 was Performage Wind Drainer + Performapal Popperup.

45 was something else. Kind of. I got Miracle Raven + Readying of Rites. Didn’t know they made a Pendulum Ritual monster. And it is pretty good. Sure it is basically just generic Ritual support, but that is just fine.

50 wasn’t some crazy boss monster. Instead, I got Patissciel Couverture + Dowsing Fusion. It is great to have another pastry chef on summon.

55 got me Supreme King Dragon Lightwurm + Wings of Light.

And 60 got me D/D/D Zero Doom Queen Machinex + Pendulum Scale. It is interesting that I got a 0 scale at the same time as a trap that wants you to have a large difference in Pendulum scales.

And now I again have more Pendulum monsters that I can Pendulum summon. Well, first I’ll need to fusion summon the two Pendulum Fusions I got. Luckily I still had my monsters on the field, so I just played 2 copies of Poly and Fusion summoned Starving Venemy Dragon and Patissciel Couverture. I then used Thunder Crash to destroy all of my monsters. I couldn't return them to the hand with Pendulum Return Draw, as that wouldn’t leave the Fusions face up in the extra deck, so destruction it is.

But now, more Pendulum summons. Next ten were Performapal Trampolynx; Lancephorhynchus; Qliphort Scout; Qliphort Disk; Qliphort Helix; Rescue Hamster; Pendulum Witch; Disablaster the Negation Fortress; Performage Wind Drainer; Supreme King Dragon Lightwurm.

Now again, I claimed the rewards before my next summon. Because I only have 3 monsters left. But if I claim 2 rewards, that gets me to 5, which should get my total unique Pendulum Summoned Pendulum Monsters to 79. But with one more reward, it will be 80.

The reward at 65 was Performapal Classikuriboh + Soul Pendulum.

And 70 was Superheavy Samurai Monk Big Benkei + Pendulum Pendant. Interesting that I got a Superheavy Samurai along a Spell, but Pendulum Pendant does banish itself, so it kind of checks out.

Now, with those cards claimed, I cleared the field and Pendulum summoned again.

Starving Venemy Dragon; Patissciel Couverture; D/D/D Zero Doom Queen Machinex; Performapal Classikuriboh; Superheavy Samurai Monk Big Benkei.

I then claimed the reward at 75.

D/D/D Destiny King Zero Laplace + Dark Contract with Patent License.

I then cleared the field so that I could summon 1 last time. … but before I do. My 13 Pendulum scale. Odd-Eyes Arcray Dragon. Nothing is keeping me from Pendulum summoning it, right? I mean, it must first be properly summoned, and then I have to get it to be face up in the extra deck. But I can Pendulum summon it when it is.

Previously I couldn’t do it because I lacked another scale 13. But I can just make a monster be scale 13 with Pendulum Swing. The Numeron Code equivalent to Pendulums.

So I got the materials needed for Arcray Dragon together and fusion summoned it. Then I destroyed it to get it face up in the extra deck. I then placed Dark Anthelion Dragon to be my right Pendulum scale, increased its scale to 13, and Pendulum summoned.

Bringing forth D/D/D Destiny King Zero Laplace and Odd-Eyes Arcray Dragon.

And now my total Pendulums are 81. So one last reward.

Magician of Hope + Pendulum Halt.

I then went through the trouble of summon Magician of Hope, just so it wouldn’t be left unsummoned.

And it seems like next time I’ll be getting an Astrograph Sorcerer retrain/alternative version.

And yes, I’m calling it a day here. This dragged on for long enough. There is a reason I didn’t want to do it in the last chapter.
