CH.550 Deck Master Tournament, part 5
<span style="font-weight:400">Time for the finals.
<span style="font-weight:400">Indigo is going against Maiko.
<span style="font-weight:400">diator Beasts vs. Fortune Ladies.
<span style="font-weight:400">Honestly speaking, I think this duel wille down to how quickly Maiko can get Future Visions on the field, as it will slow down Indigo a lot. And Indigo will have to try and deal with the field spell as soon as possible.
<span style="font-weight:400">But enough about my opinions, let’s start the match.
<span style="font-weight:400">I flipped a coin, Indigo called tails, but the coinnded heads, so Maiko got to pick who went first and she chose to go first.
<span style="font-weight:400">During her standby phase, her deck master gained a level.
<span style="font-weight:400">She immediately activated Future Visions, normal summoned Fortune Lady Light, which got banished. Used Light’s effect to special summon Earth, set two cards, and ended her turn.

<span style="font-weight:400">Indigo’s turn, and during her standby, Earth and Master gained a level. And since Earth gained a level, Indigo took 400 damage.
<span style="font-weight:400">Indigo used diator Proving Ground to add diator Beast Samnite to her hand. She then used diator Beast''s Respite to return Samnite and Hoplomus to her deck, so she could draw three cards.

<span style="font-weight:400">Maiko then yed Sorcerer Support to add Fortune Lady Wind to her hand and summoned it. Wind got banished by Future Visions, but not before its effect activated. Maiko targeted all three of Indigo’s set cards, and destroyed them. But in response, Indigo used her set Master Seal so Fortune Lady Master’s deck master abilities are negated until Indigo’s next end phase. The other face downs were diator Beast War Chariot and diator Lash.

<span style="font-weight:400">Indigo’s turn. She drew a card, and Maiko’s deck master gained a level. Maiko also activated Master Seal, so Test Tiger couldn’t be used until her next end phase.
<span style="font-weight:400">That didn’t seem to bother Indigo too much. She normal summoned diator Beast Murmillo and moved to her battle phase.
<span style="font-weight:400">She used Laquari to attack Maiko’s face down, which was Fortune Lady Water.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">She then attacked directly with Spartacus, but Maiko summoned her deck master to defend. It is level 6, so it has 3600 attack. Indigo called off her attack and moved to her main phase 2.
<span style="font-weight:400">She fused together the three diator Beasts on her field to summon diator Beast Heraklinos.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">[Note: Tournament Heraklinos does have the effect that it can be returned to the extra deck and Indigo can summon 3 d Beasts from her main deck to take its ce.]

<span style="font-weight:400">Also, both of the equip spells that were equipped to Laquari returned to Indigo’s hand and she equipped them to her Heraklinos.

<hr>
<span style="font-weight:400">Indigo’s turn. She drew, Fortune Lady Master gained a level.
<span style="font-weight:400">Indigo just used her deck master to return Heraklinos to the extra deck and summoned three diator Beasts to take its ce. She summoned Octavius, Hoplomus and Murmillo. Also, Battle dius returned to Maiko’s hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">But before their effects activated, Maiko activated her set card, Fortune Ladies’ Resilience. It is a custom card I made, and while it is active, if a Fortune Lady monster you control would be destroyed, by battle or card effect, you can instead reduce its level by 3. Also, you can banish Fortune Ladies’ Resilience from the GY to special summon a Fortune Lady from the GY.
<span style="font-weight:400">Since there no longer was a face down spell or trap on the field, Octavius’ effect couldn’t activate. And while Murmillo could target and destroy Fortune Lady Master, Maiko used her continuous spell to reduce its level by 3, and it wasn’t destroyed.
<span style="font-weight:400">But sadly, because of the 8 counters on Cage of the diator Beasts, Octavius was already stronger than Fortune Lady Master, now that Fortune Lady Master’s level dropped to 5.
<span style="font-weight:400">So Indigo used Test Tiger twice. She returned Hoplomus to the deck to summon out diator Beast Spartacus, and she also searched for diator Beast''s Battle Manica with it. And she returned Murmillo to summon diator Beast Laquari.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">She then entered her battle phase.
<span style="font-weight:400">She attacked Fortune Lady Master (level 5 / 3000 ATK) with Octavius (3500 ATK). Maiko used Fortune Ladies’ Resilience to save her deck master, but its level got reduced to just 2. Maiko also took 500 damage.
<span style="font-weight:400">Indigo then attacked with Laquari (3100 ATK). And since Fortune Lady Master (level 2 / 1200 ATK) was down to level 2, Maiko couldn’t save her deck master with Fortune Ladies’ Resilience. And her life points also ran out, so she lost the duel.
