Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Protecting Zombie World? Locking Down Monster Effect Activations?



After Bonz's explanation in the DM world, most of the people now understood the crucial role of Doomking Balerdroch in the Eldlich system. Suddenly, they grasped the importance of the Field Spell, Zombie World. Relying on Zombie World meant a duel of torture for the opponent!

...

GX World

Professor Crowler was so stunned he couldn't speak! Wait! Looked at this way, his Ancient Gear Golem wouldn't have such an easy time against Eldlich after all! After all, Ancient Gear Golem only had 3000 ATK! And it would have to face the possibility of being turned into a Zombie! And it would have to face the prospect of attacking an opponent's monster, only to fail to destroy it, and then get removed by Eldlich the Golden Lord!

But to save face, Professor Crowler coughed a few times and pointed out a flaw. "It looks scary, but dear students and teachers, think about it. This deck relies too much on its Spells and Traps. This... Zombie World, right? It's just one Field Spell! If I get rid of it, wouldn't Doomking Balerdroch become useless? So, don't overthink it. It's something that can be destroyed with a single Mystical Space Typhoon."

Professor Crowler's analysis made many duelists ponder. That's right! As long as you destroy the Field Spell, Balerdroch's effectiveness would be greatly reduced!

"Professor, I don't think it's that simple!" Syrus Truesdale pointed to the academy's broadcast screen. "Look at that monster! Necroworld Banshee! It seems like it can protect the Field Spell."

And on the screen, sure enough, the next monster to consider had appeared!

[Card Name: Necroworld Banshee (Level 4)]

[Attribute: DARK]

[Type: Zombie]

[ATK/DEF: 1800/200]

[Effect: You can only use the ② effect of this card's name once per turn.]

[①: "Zombie World" in the Field Zone cannot be destroyed by card effects, also neither player can target it with card effects.]

[②: (Quick Effect): You can banish this card from your field or GY; activate 1 "Zombie World" directly from your hand or Deck.]

Two simple, easy-to-understand effects. One provided protection for the Field Spell, Zombie World, giving it immunity to effect destruction and targeting! The other provided a way to proactively search for it, allowing you to activate Zombie World from your deck!

These two effects rendered Professor Crowler speechless! This Field Spell... when did it get a dedicated protection card?! Looked at this way, wasn't the protection for this Field Spell maxed out? Even if it was dealt with, you could use this card to bring out another one! This was too ridiculous! The duelists in the GX world were instantly speechless! Was it this hard to deal with a single Field Spell now? Had the world changed?

...

I Want to be an Eldlich Master: "Alright, seeing this, I think the Zombie World Eldlich style is pretty much covered. I believe with this understanding, everyone has their own perception of the Eldlich archetype now. Next, after looking at one more lockdown monster you might run, the monster lineup for the Eldlich archetype will be pretty much complete!"

"This card is!"

"Inspector Boarder!!!"

[Card Name: Inspector Boarder (Level 4)]

[Attribute: LIGHT]

[Type: Machine]

[ATK/DEF: 2000/2000]

"How should I put this? This card cannot be Normal or Special Summoned if you control a monster. But if it is successfully summoned, while it is in the Monster Zone, the number of monster effects each player can activate per turn is limited to the number of monster card types (Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, Pendulum, Link) on the field."

"To put it simply, the more types of monsters there are, the more monster effects you can activate! It's a way to indirectly limit the number of monster effect activations for both players! After all, at the beginning of a duel, you're not likely to have that many different types on the field, right? And for our deck, since we mainly rely on Traps, we're not worried."

"..."

After listening to this discussion about the potential inclusion of Inspector Boarder, the duelists were even more numb. This Eldlich archetype... was it really going to max out on lockdown, disruption, and suppression? With the previous lockdowns, plus the lockdown from Inspector Boarder, the duelists across the six worlds were all holding their breath! If they really had to duel against an Eldlich deck, what were their chances of winning? Would they be mentally broken?

No. Maybe they would just summon their fists in Attack Position! At least, that's what Joey from the DM world was thinking at this very moment! Joey was arguably the one who disliked degenerate decks the most. After listening to the entire monster lineup, Joey's hands were already clenched into tight fists!
