3.24.06 - Spell of
Absorption note:
I apologize,
I got an e-mail from a
fan explaining the proper use of spell absorption.
Thus in the Hamon deck, spell absorption is
useless. I was not aware of the rulings. Also, if
2 convulsion of natures are on the field, the deck
is still upside down

Hello,
This email is a
response to the article that you wrote on
Hamon. I have to admit that it is a pretty
good deck. However, I think the utilization
of Spell Absorption is incorrect. Of course,
I could always be wrong, so I looked it up,
double checked it... and then checked it
again. I'm pretty sure that the ruling on
yugioh-card.com
states that Spell Absorption's effect takes
place when a spell card is activated, as
opposed to when the effect of a spell card
is activated. Therefore, you can only gain
lifepoints for activating Archfiend's Oath
by placing it face up on the field while
there is a face up Spell Absorption. In this
case you would not gain life points when
activating the effect of Archfiend's Oath,
but just simply when you activate it (place
it on the field).
To reinforce this
ruling, there is another ruling on
yugioh-card.com
that states that an infinite loop can not
exist. If Spell Absorption's effect
activates when the 'effect' of a spell card
activates, then that in itself could lead to
an infinite loop whenever you have 2 or more
Spell Absorptions on the field. To
illustrate:
1. activate Spell Absorption(1)
2. activate SA(2)
3. effect of SA(1) activates in response to
SA(2); you gain 500lp
4. effect of SA(2) activates in response to
SA(1); you gain 500lp
5. effect of SA(1) activates in response to
SA(2); you gain 500lp
6. effect of SA(2) activates in response to
SA(1); you gain 500lp
7. etc. etc. etc. until infinite lifepoints
are reached.
If you throw Archfiend's Oath into the
equation then you would simply place it
before step one or two of that same
sequence, then the rest continues as stated.
Oh how happy so many Fire Princess fans
would be if the Spell Absorption activated
in response to the effect of a spell card.

---------------- Why does nobody respect this card? With such a name I believe all Yu-Gi-Oh players should at least have some chill upon seeing it. A 4000/4000, in one hit he is going to take away over half of your LP. And to boot he is a game-ender, people who dedicate this many resources to the field, are the ones in control.
A four card
investment is a lot, but once again, that means you are
winning most likely. Or about to take the win. This
card is unusable if you are losing. So it is the
perfect way to seal your opponents fate.
Created by G102Y5568,
his deck is a combination of an idea sent to me earlier
by Fabian Kenzeler which basically uses the power of;
Convulsion of Nature to flip the deck upside down and
Archfiend's Oath to allow you to draw cards by simply
"guessing" your next draw. But this deck goes even
further and uses an additional spell card, Recycle.
Basically by using various methods to obtain graceful
charity he tries his best to deck out. By doing this he
can use recycle to give him any spell card he wants.
Just by looking at this deck I know a lot of you will
say it is unplayable, unlikely to occur, and down right
dumb in some manner. But I played against this deck.
He maintained field and hand advantage (sense almost 8
turns consisted of him drawing some amount of extra
cards). He even brought Hamon to the field 2 times.
The first time it died to smashing ground. He just used
pot of avarice, (which when he develops the loop becomes
the biggest pain you can imagine.) to shuffle it in the
deck. Plus he is running 3 and almost every spell card
in his deck is a continuous spell. The only reason I
beat him in the duel was my Gravity-Bind.
As some of you know
from online duels, I have been running a deck utilizing
G-Bind, Level Limit Area-B, and my favorite dark bird
STEALTH BIRD in a reliable manner, (my deck may appear
cookie cutter but there is a lot of tech; thus it throws
off my opponents and forces them to play my game:P).
This functioning as a means to punish players for
playing too slowly or as a way to stall for some time in
case my hands don't work out. If I was not running a
G-Bind, Hamon would of dealt over 4000 damage to me,
simply by sending my attack position magical merchant to
the grave. That would have suck. Nonetheless, I am
crediting the loss of this deck to luck. My win
reflected no form of skill or insight, I was just lucky
enough to draw G-Bind and hold off a heavy storm after
some 20 draws.
Here is how its
creator describes its function........................................................................
1. Magical Mallet.
Not only is it useful with the bad top-deck concept, but
also for the shuffling part, so it makes like a Card Shuffle. 2. Spell Absorption is used because of Archfiend's Oath, it's not whenever I play a spell, it's when I activate one. So I'll be gaining 200 life points whenever I use Recycle or Card Shuffle, and not losing anything when using Archfiend's Oath. Frankly, having to pay 1100 LP a turn really, really blows.
However, in cases of
which I'm dueling a
stall/burn deck, I will be including 3x Wave Motion Cannon, along with many other continuous spell burns such as Ectoplasmer, for such a purpose. I added in Magical Mallet, in place of one of my two Card Shuffles, for the simple purpose of it working instantly, and shuffling my deck in the process of a Recycle. A second Spell Absorption and Card Shuffle will be added to my eventual side deck. With 22 spells in my deck, Spell Absorption, which activates when a card is activated, not played, (which is great for continuous spells with optional effects) is crucial. Lastly, I took Messenger of Peace and put one of the 2 in my side deck. Frankly, most duelists use all monsters under 1500, such as Don Zaloog, or use cards like Mobius the Frost Monarch, so Messenger of Peace is best under 1, possible 2. From there, my Recyclable God Card deck was finished, and here is the finishing result: The Graceful Charity lock works like this, Magician of Faith, run in 2s, and then 2 Apprentice Magicians, for Magician of Faith Abuse. After that, there's Tsukuyomi and Book of Moon, which will make for infinite Graceful Charities. Of course, what's a deck without the non-staples? Recycle + Conversion of Nature is a quick way to gain a Graceful use, and a second is to use Recycle and a shuffler (Card Shuffle and Magical Mallet) and just wait for a quick draw. Using 2 Archfiend's Oaths, if I do not have a Convulsion of Nature on the field, I can just activate them and call Graceful Charity, and whether or not that will be the top card of my deck, it will be thinned. A useful tactic. From here, my deck will expand. G102Y5568
Take a look at this
deck, try it out. I know you will have fun with it. If
anyone can think of a way to improve it, let me know. I
have a strong feeling that this deck can be much better
than it appears it should be.

Let me see some more
input concerning this deck. And once again, it really
does work. (I still can not figure out how it is
reliable, but I played against it.)
Join me tomorrow as I
write an article concerning a duel with team BTA's
founder.
If you want to
contact me for anything (within reason :P)
IM Tebezu
Also, Team Necrosis,
make sure you contact me. I personally can not believe
we have a website, but we do.
