Chapter 166 The Mud Truck, Juejuezi (3)
【Machine Force - Destruction Force】This card cannot be Normal Summoned. It can only be Special Summoned from your Graveyard by banishing Machine-Type monsters whose total Levels are 12 or higher from your Graveyard.
Special Summonings that do not form a chain have no limit of once per turn.
The advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages are equally undeniable, namely the number of Machine-type monsters in one's own graveyard.
The total Level of the excluded Machine-Type monsters must exceed 12. In order to Special Summon "Machine Force: Destruction Force" multiple times, not only must the deck have a certain number of Machine-Type monsters, but it must also be able to fill the graveyard.
The best choice is a Level 12 Machine-Type monster that cannot be Normal Summoned, as this avoids waste and makes it easier to fill the Graveyard.
The problem is that very few magic cards meet both of these requirements.
Chagatai secretly exhausted his connections and resources, running all over card shops and reaching the Elf Realm, and only managed to obtain two Magic Cards that met the requirements: [Tech Genus Halberd Gunner/Explosive Body] and [Machine God Machine Record ∞]. However, even if he filled the deck with them, he could only Special Summon [Mech Force - Destruction Armed Force] 6 times, which was obviously far from enough.
"Cannot be Normal Summoned... In fact, some Monster Spell Cards cannot be Normal Summoned directly according to the rules, even if it is not stated in the effect section."
"for example?"
"For example... have you tried looking for a level 12 Machine Race Ritual Monster?"
……
"The Link Material requirement is 2 Machine-Type monsters. Set the Link Arrows on my two Machine-Type monsters, [Super Heavy Turret Train Gustav's Max Cannon], and Link Summon [Mechanical Reconnect - Angry Tongue]!"
[Mechanical Reconnection, Angry Tongue Hook] ATK1500
The two Gustav's Maximum Cannons on the Chagatai field, along with their remaining excess materials (Mech Force - Destruction Force), were sent to the graveyard.
"The monster 【Infinite Machine Dragon Cano Cycle Dragon】in the Graveyard cannot be Normal Summoned, but it can be Special Summoned from your hand or Graveyard if you have activated the effects of monsters in your hand or Graveyard during this Duel."
It doesn't require activation or chaining, but its Special Summoning condition depends on the opponent activating a monster effect. Therefore, Chagatai only included one copy in his deck, making it a lower-tier alternative to [Mech Force: Destruction Force].
"Since the start of this duel, you have activated more than one monster effect from your hand, therefore, [Infinite Machine Dragon Cano Cycle Dragon] is Special Summoned directly from the Graveyard!"
【Infinite Dragon, Cano Cycle Dragon】ATK3000
"【Mechanical Reconnection, Wrathful Tongue】Effect: During your or your opponent's Main Phase, you can send 1 monster from your hand or field to the Graveyard, then target 1 Level 10 Machine-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that monster in Defense Position, but as a cost, the effects of the monster Special Summoned by this effect are negated."
The mechanical arm of [Mechanical Reconnection, Angry Tongue Hook] reached into the cemetery, trying to pull something out.
"【Mech Force - Destruction Force】Can only be Special Summoned from the Graveyard by banishing monsters whose total Levels in the Graveyard are 12 or higher. However, 【Mech Colonel】can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard by card effects. Therefore, the effect of 【Mech Reconnect - Wrathful Hook】sends 【Infinite Mech Dragon - Cano Cycle Dragon】to the Graveyard. Target my Level 10 Machine-Type monster 【Mech Colonel】in the Graveyard and Special Summon it in Defense Position!"
[Mechanical Reconnection, Angry Tongue Hook] One mechanical arm precisely clamps onto the [Mech Colonel] in the graveyard, while another mechanical arm connects to the [Infinite Mech Dragon, Cano Cycle Dragon] on the field, using the latter's energy supply to pull the [Mech Colonel] out of the graveyard.
[Mech Colonel] DEF2500
The [Infinite Machine Dragon Cano Cycle Dragon], whose energy had been drained, collapsed into parts and left the field before the [Mech Colonel] could even appear.
"【Infinite Machine Dragon Cano Cycle Dragon】If this card is sent to the Graveyard from outside the hand or Deck, this card is returned to the Deck."
The parts are reassembled, transforming into streams of light that return to the Chagatai deck, awaiting special summoning in the next turn, thus forming a cycle.
At this moment, Chagatai's main deck was finally not empty. Although there was only one card, at least he wouldn't be without any cards to draw in his next turn.
In Sera's view, this series of developments was a compromise by Chagatai, who was unable to FTK this turn, and ensured that he would not have a rule-based kill with no cards to draw. Just when she predicted that Chagatai would choose to redo the resistance and end the turn, he made his move.
"I activate the effect of the Graveyard Normal Trap Card [Supercritical Machine Force] by banishing it. Target 3 Machine-Type monsters in my Graveyard: 3 [Super Heavy Turret Train Gustav's Greatest Cannon], add those monsters to my Deck, shuffle them, and then draw 1 card from my Deck."
Although the effect of 【Supercritical Mech Force】 requires returning the target card to the deck and shuffling it before drawing a card, the prerequisite for activating this effect is that there are cards to draw in the Chagatai main deck. This is why there is a return to the deck before 【Infinite Mech Dragon: Cano Cycle Dragon】.
It was not a helpless compromise, but a tactical maneuver.
The tracks were repaved, and the three Gustav's largest cannons slowly retreated along the tracks behind the "gate," returning to the Chagatai extra deck for readjustment.
Soon, the turret was repaired and ready; now it needed to be loaded with the necessary shells.
In the past, Chagatai would have worried about not having enough Level 12 Machine-Type monsters in his Graveyard. He would have considered banning "Machine" monsters or even one of the three Destroyer monsters to make up the Level 12 and Special Summon Destroyer monsters from his Graveyard.
But with guidance and help from others, Chagatai has now obtained other "ammunition".
"Although it's just a copy card, banish 3 Level 12 Machine-Type monsters from the Graveyard, [Dragon Meteor DRA], and return from the Graveyard once more, [Machine Force - Destruction Armed Force]!"
A gigantic mechanical dragon phantom, obscuring the sky, flashed across the arena, its surging power flowing into the body of the Graveyard Destruction Force, and the engine roared once more!
[Mech Forces: Destroying Armed Forces] ATK4600x3
"Dragon's Brilliance" 12-star Machine-type Ritual Monster is simply the perfect "cannonball".
"Two [Mech Forces - Destruction Force] are stacked together to Xyz Summon the first [Super Heavy Turret Train - Gustav's Greatest Cannon] from the Graveyard back to the Extra Deck. Then, detach one Xyz Material to activate the third shot!"
Sierra LP4000→2000
"Finally, I stacked the Level 10 [Mech Force - Destruction Force] and the Level 10 [Mech Colonel] to Xyz Summon the second [Super Heavy Turret Train - Gustav's Greatest Cannon] back to the Extra Deck, detach one Xyz Material to activate, and unleash the fourth and final shot!"
Sierra LP2000→0
The duel is over.
