Chapter 697 461: The War Begins! Alice, Single-Person Army Breaker (Ten-Thousand-Word Mega Chapter)
In the second duel, Shen Sui once again secured the first move.
During the BO3 match, players are only allowed to use a limited number of reported Life Cards to rebuild their decks, so most people do not change their dueling style in such a best-of-three match.
In Shen Sui's second duel, he naturally continued to use the strategy of special victory with "Dead Line."
This deck, when luck is on your side, truly shows its maximum strength. Drawing a card on the opponent's turn means victory in this duel.
However, decks with special victories, especially ones like "Dead Line," are highly luck-dependent and perform inconsistently.
Even if Shen Sui's deck is filled with Life Cards for searching, if luck is unfavorable, no matter how you manipulate the search and shuffling, you still cannot place the opponent's "Dead Line" at the top of the deck.
Only Shen Sui, with a large number of powerful Soul Cards, can play like this. Even if the Life Cards, apart from Soul Cards, are all search cards, Shen Sui can still make a struggle with Qishala and Freymia for the final battle. However, since a lot of resources must be invested in the search shuffle, if you feel unable to achieve a special victory this turn, it may already be too late, and there would not be enough resources to create an endgame that allows you to survive to the next turn.
But this is how an entertainment deck is.
Whether winning or losing, it always brings joy.
Shen Sui's luck in this duel was not as good as the previous one.
He nearly sorted through half of the deck and still could not shuffle Tan Song's "Dead Line" to the top of the deck.
Seeing the weak Alice and Golden Ship on the field, Shen Sui reluctantly stopped the search and played a Permanent Spell Card "Bursting Fire Curtain" before ending his turn.
"Haha." Tan Song's eyes lit up when Shen Sui ended his turn, "Looks like your luck isn't great this round!"
"Hmph, let's wait until you win to talk." Shen Sui retorted to Tan Song.
Tan Song glanced at his initial hand.
To be honest, his starting hand wasn't good; he didn't have any key Follower Cards in hand.
As Shen Sui said, even if his luck was bad, as long as he didn't crush Shen Sui this turn, once Shen Sui's turn begins, everything would be left to luck again.
Tan Song has never believed in his own luck.
But if the next draw doesn't yield a Soul Card, I'll be stuck.
Tan Song stared at the Spell Cards in his hand, hesitating for quite some time.
Should I activate it or not?
This Spell Card named "Miraculous Sword Immortal Fate" was the one Shen Sui discarded through "Magic Seeker·Alice" in the last duel. It can be activated at the start of one's turn if there are no followers on the field, searching a Sword Immortal follower from the deck.
If this Spell Card can search out a Soul Card, then I am confident I can directly crush Shen Sui this turn.
But searching also means shuffling, and who's to say the "Dead Line" won't end up on top of my deck after reshuffling?
But how likely is that scenario to occur?
In his first move turn, Shen Sui shuffled his deck over twenty times, yet he couldn't bring up the "Dead Line."
Noting the critical point at the start of Tan Song's turn, Shen Sui seemingly understood Tan Song's thought and chuckled, "Are you stuck?"
"Even if I'm stuck, I can still beat you," Tan Song replied defiantly.
"Would you dare to activate a search Spell Card at this point?" Shen Sui looked at Tan Song, smiling as if sure Tan Song wouldn't take the risk, "It's almost the draw phase. If you shuffle the 'Dead Line' to the top, that would be hilarious."
"My luck isn't as bad as yours!"
Urged by Shen Sui, Tan Song drew out the Spell Card from his hand.
After all, it's an entertainment match.
Take the gamble!
If I lose, so be it!
"At the start of my turn, since I have no followers on the field, I can activate the Spell Card 'Miraculous Sword Immortal Fate' from my hand!"
"Special summon from my deck, 'Sword Immortal·Xu Qingyin'!"
Tan Song directly special summoned Xu Qingyin from his deck.
With this special summon, Tan Song's deck shuffled.
At that very moment, "Dead Line" appeared right in front of him.
In that instant, Tan Song's heart skipped a beat.
Not to mention Tan Song, even Shen Sui was startled by the revealed "Dead Line."
"Ah, you..." Shen Sui found it hard to comment and felt that if Tan Song lost because of this, there might be another famous scene in this year's all-star games.
"It's not over yet!" Tan Song, true to his status as a world champion, displayed top-notch mental stability, quickly regaining his composure in face of the situation.
As long as the Dueling Device hasn't declared duel victory.
The outcome of this duel is still uncertain!
At the moment when Xu Qingyin was summoned, a point in time arose.
Tan Song, with barely any hesitation, initiated a transformation of Xu Qingyin's form.
"Activate form effect of 'Wine Sword Immortal·Xu Qingyin.' When 'Xu Qingyin' is successfully special summoned, I can transform him to Wine Sword Immortal form!" Tan Song decisively transformed Xu Qingyin's form.
"Activate 'Wine Sword Immortal·Xu Qingyin' effect," Tan Song promptly continued. "When transformed due to form change, it can activate, allowing me to skip my next three draw phases. If I do so, he can attack twice per turn, and when he destroys another follower in battle, I can draw a card from the deck."
