My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 401 - 369: Fine! Then Nobody Plays Anymore! (Table Flip) (5K)
Not long ago, the World Life Card Association proposed to reduce the soul point refund from the previous full-star level to 80% of the original star level to limit this lossless grave stacking method.
Unfortunately, Life Card Duel is not a product of any company, not even the World Life Card Association can have the final say.
If your proposal is passed, wouldn’t us players who rely on grave effects to win be embarrassed?
After nearly half a month of contention, the proposal was ultimately temporarily shelved with half opposing and half agreeing to it.
After Shen Sui used the Liberation Fee method to mindlessly stack the grave of Natasha, what he needed to do was quite simple.
Activate Natasha’s effect to stack three Puppets in the grave, then activate the Spell Card [Shining Debut] from the deck.
With the effect of [Shining Debut], discard a hand card to special summon [Pure White Holy Steed Golden Ship] from the deck. The effect of Golden Ship allows Shen Sui to draw a card, and then special summon [Magic Apprentice Alice] from the deck.
Then, pay 3 soul points to transform Alice into [Flame Witch Hozerville].
Since Ada is banned from searching, Shen Sui didn’t have enough soul points to transform into Spirit Embracer form.
Fortunately, the effect of Spirit-Devouring Storm was still effective on Vivian, so he first dealt with the Imaginary Spirit Dragon this turn.
But even so, it made Shen Sui very uneasy.
His dueling style rarely involves a series of plays for simply removing an opponent’s card; he mostly starts his turn for victory.
But there’s no other way, without soul points, there’s nothing Shen Sui can do.
The moment Alice transformed, Shen Sui activated Golden Ship’s effect to summon a 3-star Follower Card from the deck.
There was only one 3-star follower in his deck, which was [Spiritual Life: Destiny Ring Snake].
Shen Sui special summoned it, but since it was not summoned via its own effect, Destiny Ring Snake couldn’t stack materials, so summoning it was just as good as a blank card.
"Activate the effect of Flame Witch." Shen Sui said, "Return [Puppet Creation] and [Shining Debut] from the grave to the deck to activate, liberate your [Fantasy Beast Imaginary Spirit Dragon], and special summon a Flame Derivative on your field." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
The moment Shen Sui feared did not arise, which meant the Flame Witch’s effect went through.
With the rising flames, the Imaginary Spirit Dragon transformed into a mass of fire, the once beautiful dragon instantly becoming a flame.
"Did he really manage to defeat it?" All the commentators were surprised, even though Vivian had already used up her set cards, with such a series of plays in the first turn, stacking the grave with so many follower cards, was there not even a single grave effect follower to negate?
If that’s the case, doesn’t it make Vivian’s entire first-turn plays look like a clown act?
"Maybe An Wei didn’t expect it either." Tan Song glanced at An Hai, who had a blank expression beside him, deciding to make an excuse for his friend’s sister, "Shen Sui managed to do so much with just 8 soul points."
The two commentators thought about it carefully, and it indeed seemed to be the case.
An average Life Card Master facing an 8 soul point lock would have given up by now, with one card usage generally ending their turn.
Yet, Shen Sui danced around with just 8 soul points, and even had 2 soul points left.
[Puppet Creation] consumed 5 soul points, fetching [Cursed Puppet Natasha].
Summoning with Liberation Fee followed by lossless grave stacking was part of the mechanism and considered a standard move.
Then activated the effect of Natasha from the grave, using the grave to free up a Spell Card with special summoning effect. This Spell Card brought out a follower card that could special summon a soul card.
Next, Shen Sui consumed 3 soul points to transform the soul card, followed by effect liberation steps.
"What an impressive build." Tan Song sorted through it and couldn’t help but admire Shen Sui’s build, "It doesn’t require much cost to perform such operations."
Moreover, Shen Sui’s operations were far from over.
He activated the effect of Radiant Lion from his hand, stacking two 5-star or higher Follower Cards from the deck, to special summon Radiant Lion from the hand.
Activate the effect of Radiant Lion, sending one of the materials, [Bound Holy Artifact Puppet·Naphitaya] to the grave, increasing Radiant Lion’s Spirit Value by 500, bringing it to 2500 points.
By this step, his apparent soul points were already used up, if following standard procedures, he should have entered the battle phase for a frontal assault.
Vivian’s field had only a 1300 spirit value Flame Derivative, he merely needed his Radiant Lion to attack while the remaining followers directly attacked.
Radiant Lion could deal 1200 points of damage.
Flame Witch could deal 1000 points of damage.
Golden Ship 100 points of damage.
Destiny Ring Snake 500 points of damage.
Totaling 2800 points of damage.
Yet, Shen Sui hesitated.
Successfully breaking down the Imaginary Spirit Dragon so smoothly seemed a bit off.
Claiming Vivian’s deck lacked proper countermeasures was something Shen Sui couldn’t possibly believe.
But, with the current soul points, Shen Sui had no way to set cards.
However, Vivian would also be affected by Spirit-Devouring Storm. By dealing with her Imaginary Spirit Dragon, during her turn, she should face a similar predicament with the 8 soul point restriction. What could she do?
