Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

Generally speaking, monsters have specific star levels. The higher the star level, the stronger they are, and the more stringent the summoning conditions will become.

Taking ordinary monsters as an example, the highest star level is 12.

Monster cards of 4 stars and below can be summoned directly, while monster cards of 5 to 6 stars require a monster on the field to be released as a sacrifice before they can be summoned, and monster cards of 7 stars and above require two sacrifices to be released.

Monster cards with certain specific conditions are not within this range. For example, the [Three Mythical Gods] have special summoning conditions, and usually when summoned, you must release three monsters on your field.

The appearance of a magic card is a green border. It is usually activated during one's turn. It can be divided into normal magic, quick-attack magic, field magic, continuous magic, equipment magic, etc.

The appearance of a trap card is a pink border. It needs to be covered for one round before it can be activated. It is usually covered on your turn and then activated on the opponent's turn. It can also be subdivided into normal traps, permanent traps, counterattack traps, etc.

The main deck of Yu-Gi-Oh is usually composed of 40 to 60 cards, and there are up to 15 cards in the side deck to replace the main deck. The space in the extra deck is also 15 cards, which are used to store fusion, synchro, Xyz, and link monsters.

In reality, except for a few people who play the [Graveyard Flow] and [Mowing Flow] decks who will expand their decks to the upper limit of 60 cards, other decks will basically reduce the decks to 40 cards, and maintain a certain balance between monster cards and magic and trap cards. This is done to increase the chance of getting key cards and avoid getting stuck as much as possible.

Generally speaking, current card decks will choose to include some fast-attack magic cards such as [Designator of the Grave] and [Designator of Obliteration].

Quick-play Magic Cards, like Trap Cards, can be placed on the backfield and then activated during the opponent's turn.

On the one hand, it can be used to prevent the opponent from launching hand traps such as [Gray Flowing Beauty], [Phantom Rabbit], and [Proliferating G], protecting your own deployment from being interrupted.

On the one hand, it can also cause certain interference during the opponent's turn and interrupt the opponent's development.

As for trap cards, the most common one now is [Infinite Bubble] which can be activated from the hand. Generally, trap cards need to be covered for a round before they can be activated, which can easily lead to passiveness.

Of course, some specific card decks will also use trap cards as the main force, such as the [Insect Demon Deck], which has various large and small red pits in the deck.

Yusei's deck is quite unique. Although his deck is considered a [mixed hero]...

But in his deck, trap cards often account for more than one-third of the deck...

In some special moments, it even reaches nearly half of the level, and it is common to start the game with a red-framed trap card, and end the round with five cards in the backfield, which directly scares the opponent.

Seeing Yusei's weird moves, the opponent's first reaction is often - "Damn! I ran into a newspaper gang! What the hell!"

If he didn't tell me, I wouldn't know he was playing a [Hero] deck...

However, there are times when you are unlucky, such as when the opponent happens to have [Feather Sweep of the Harpy] in his hand, which has the effect of destroying all Magic and Trap Cards on the opponent's field. Once you encounter this situation and don't have a response card like [Declaration of God], then Youxing can only cry without tears.

……

When Yusei arrived at Muto Sugoroku's card shop, it seemed that a duel competition was about to be held.

Yusei looked at the scene in the store and found that most of the customers here were students from the neighborhood, and many of them were newbies who had just started playing Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

At the counter in the store, he saw the figure of Muto Sugoroku.

This plain-looking old man is the grandfather of the first protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! - Duel King, Yugi Muto.

He was slightly bent behind the counter, short but strong, with a friendly smile on his face.

Ten years have passed, but time has not left any traces on him. Muto Sugoroku's appearance is still no different from that in the original animation.

This guy is also a strange person.

When he was young, Muto Sugoroku once went to explore the ancient Egyptian tombs. At that time, he was stabbed in the back by the local guide who led the team. He was seriously injured in the waist and almost fell into the thorn pit trap in the ancient tomb.

When he was about to fall into the thorn pit, Muto Sugoroku seemed to see Pharaoh Atum pulling his body in a daze.

In this way, he who accidentally saved his life not only survived the dangerous situation, but also brought back the sealed golden cabinet containing fragments of thousand-year-old building blocks from the ancient tomb.

Mutou Sugoroku suffered a serious waist injury during that expedition, and suffered from a chronic illness. He often suffered from back pain when he got old, but fortunately he survived. This led to the birth of Mutou Yugi.

In the anime, there are only four [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] cards in the world. Three of them are in the hands of Kaiba Seto, the president of the large conglomerate Kaiba Group, and the remaining one is in the hands of Muto Sugoroku. This card was entrusted to him by an old friend.

Although in the first generation of the animation, the fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon was torn apart by the young and hot-tempered President Kaiba out of his perverted desire for exclusivity...

In addition to [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], Muto Sugoroku also has special rare cards such as the five parts of [Dark Mage].

As long as you have these five cards in your hand, you can win the duel unconditionally.

Another personality of Yugi Muto born from the Millennium Building Blocks - Dark Yugi, relied on the magical draw of [Dark Wizard] to defeat Kaiba Seto who summoned [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]...

However, when Yugi Muto went to the Duel Kingdom, his opponent, the insect Feather Moth, threw these five rare cards into the sea...

You would never guess how many rare cards this seemingly ordinary old man actually has in his hands.

……

On the poster in the store, you can see that the prize money for the winner of the competition is 100,000 yen.

Youxing calculated in his mind that if converted into RMB, 100,000 yen would be around 6,000 yuan.

Although this amount of money is not much, it is enough for Youxing to support his life for a long time.

Thinking of this, Youxing hurried to the counter to find Muto Sugoroku to sign up for the competition.

The rules of the duel are very simple, it is an elimination match, and two people start the duel in a group.

Both sides initially have 4000 LP, and the monster's attack power will reduce LP accordingly.

The party whose LP reaches zero first will lose the duel, and the winning party will advance to the next round.

The final winner will receive a cash reward of 100,000 yen.

During the competition, you can use the card decks provided by the store, or you can use your own card decks. There are not too many restrictions in this regard. Just do it according to your wishes.

Before showing off, it is best to first understand the other party's strength.

If you act arrogantly and then get slapped in the face, you'll be a fool...

Out of caution, Yusei used the card decks prepared in the store in the first few duels.

For a deck like this, its strength won’t be too high.

Most of the monsters in the deck are low-star common monsters, such as [Jellybean Warrior], [Dragon Zombie], [Lion Wizard], [Seahorsemon], etc.

As for magic and trap cards, they are just insignificant cards that only add or subtract a few hundred points of attack and defense power.

The strength of these decks is almost negligible.

Fortunately, Youxing's opponents were all a bunch of newbies. As a veteran player, he naturally won the duel without any difficulty and advanced to the semi-finals without any pressure.

As time passed, the top four of the competition were quickly decided.

Among the other three qualifiers besides Youxing, two are middle school students in school uniforms, and the other is a teenager who is about the same age as himself.

The boy wore a white shirt on his upper body and slim black trousers on his lower body. He wore thick black-framed glasses on his face, which covered almost half of his face. He exuded a steady aura.

Youxing's heart skipped a beat as he looked at this young man who, like himself, seemed somewhat out of place with his surroundings.

He had a vague premonition that he might have an entangled relationship with this steady boy in the future...

"Fuck! What the hell... How could such an idea suddenly come up..."

"I don't have any special hobbies!"

Such a strange thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and Youxing couldn't help but have a lot of black lines on his forehead.

……

The next game is the semi-final, and the winner of this game will qualify for the final.

Because of living expenses, Youxing does not plan to use the store's miscellaneous card deck in this game, but instead plans to use his own [Hero Deck].

The reason why I didn’t use my own deck before was mainly to hide my tactics and prevent the opponent from targeting me.

In the previous duels, Yusei took the opportunity to observe the tactics of the players around him.

In his opinion, apart from the steady young man with glasses who needed a little attention, there was basically no threat.

If nothing unexpected happens, his opponent in the final will most likely be him.

……

After several rounds of trial duels, Yusei has gradually adapted to the rhythm of duels in this world.

He was also certain of one thing.

That is, most people here are just newbies who have just started playing cards.

As an old player facing these newbies, it feels like I have returned to the novice village with my max-level character to bully the newbies.

"It's time to start showing off..."

Yusei muttered something under his breath, then returned the borrowed deck to Mutou Sugoroku.

He took out his own cards from the card bag at his waist and began to build his own deck.

Yusei's deck is composed of hero monster cards from various factions, not only Yuki Judai's [Elemental Heroes] and Ed Phoenix's [Destiny Hero], but also [Masked Hero], [Phantom Hero], [Anti-Hero] that have never appeared in the animation...even Overlord's [Evil Heart Hero] is included.

In addition to these monsters, there are also a lot of red pit cards in the card pack.

While building the deck, Yusei couldn't help but think of Yuki Judai, whom he met before.

As a time traveler, he naturally knew that the current Yuki Judai was still in the novice stage, and most of the cards in his deck were just ordinary hero monsters, relying solely on the [Fusion] magic cards for bursts.

Yuki Judai's ace monster [Elemental Hero Flame Wingman] is a fusion of [Elemental Hero Wingman] and [Elemental Hero Explosion Girl]. It is a classic three-card-for-one card.

From Yusei's perspective, this kind of Fusion Summoning of usually lower-level monsters using an Elemental Hero is simply a huge loss.

Apart from Soul players, there won’t be many people playing like this now…

The current Yuki Judai is still a novice. His dueling skills are so poor that he relies almost entirely on luck when playing cards.

But as the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, various events always happen around him. After experiencing a series of events, he will eventually grow up and become a powerful duelist who can stand on his own.

While building the deck, Youxing was also silently thinking about his future plans.

When you go to the Duel Academy later, it is best to establish a good relationship with Yuki Judai, as this will make it easier to trigger various events in the original work.

At that time, I will play cards from a God's perspective, use the righteous hero deck, beat up all kinds of arrogant bosses, cross my arms in front of my chest, and look proudly at the shocked expressions on the villains' faces...

That feeling is simply too sour...

(The first two chapters have been revised to correct some incoherent parts and re-divided into sections, so there may be some misalignment between the chapters...)

(If I have time, I might revise the rest...)

003 Heroes strike!

Because of his rich battle experience, Yusei's deck was quickly assembled.

At this time, he did not use the old Yinbi heavy deck that he usually used when playing cards, but instead re-assembled a set of entertainment-oriented [Fusion Hero] deck.

After all... showing off has to be done slowly and steadily, there are limited tactics. If you use all the tactics at once now, you won't be able to show off in subsequent duels.

Besides, such a pure card playing environment as it is now is rare.

Have fun and cherish it, young man~

Just like that, Youxing took out the cards from the card pack he carried with him and formed a pure elemental hero deck, intending to use it in the early stages and then slowly modify it later.

The deck contents are as follows:

20 monster cards, 15 magic cards, 5 trap cards

[Elemental Hero Wingman]*1 [Elemental Hero Explosion Girl]*1 [Elemental Hero Clayman]*1

[Elemental Hero Flash]*1 [Elemental Hero Bubble]*1

[Elemental Hero Sky Man]*3 [Elemental Hero Solid Man]*3 [Elemental Hero Liquid Man]*1

[Elemental Hero Flameman]*3 [Elemental Hero Prismman]*1 [Elemental Hero Wildernessman]*1

[Elemental Hero Golden Captain]*1 [Elemental Hero Jungle Man]*1 [Elemental Hero Ocean Man]*1

【摩天楼】*1【融合】*3【融合回收】*1【融合解除】*1【奇迹融合】*1

[E-Emergency Call]*3 [Reinforcement]*1 [R-Justice Judgment]*1 [Hero Arrives]*3

[Attack Disablement]*1 [Holy Shield -Mirror Power-]*3 [Declaration of God]*1

15 additional cards

[Elemental Hero Earth Core Man][Elemental Hero Earth Man][Elemental Hero Great Tornado Man][Elemental Hero Storm Man][Elemental Hero New Star Master][Elemental Hero Flash Man][Elemental Hero Absolute Zero Man][Elemental Hero Nether Girl][Elemental Hero Sunrise Man][Elemental Hero Flame Wing Man][Elemental Hero Flash Flame Wing Man][Elemental Hero Sailor Man][Elemental Hero Grand Man][Elemental Hero Steam Healer][Elemental Hero Thunder Giant]

……

The overall strength is not very high. It is a pure burst-type [Elemental Hero] deck. It is more suitable for late attack and can be used in entertainment games.

Although there are not many cards with suppression effects, and no heavy traps have been added, it is enough for current duels.

After all, Youxing's opponents at the moment are just a group of real newbies who have just started playing cards.
