February 1st, 2014

14-year-old Nicole Tipple from New Jersey is Dueling against South Carolina’s Andrew White in this Round 2 Feature Match! Tipple is using a Harpie Deck, full of Mai Valentine’s signature cards from the animated Yu-Gi-Oh! television series. Her opponent, Andrew White, is using a Fire Fist Deck full of Fire Formation Spell Cards. It’s time to Duel!

 

Tipple opened up Duel 1 with Harpies’ Hunting Ground, Hysteric Party, Solemn Warning, Hysteric Sign, Harpie Dancer, and Harpie Channeler.

Nicole Tipple

 

White Summoned Brotherhood of the Fire Fist – Leopard and used its effect to Tribute it and Set Fire Formation – Tenki from his Deck. He activated Tenki to add Brotherhood of the Fire Fist – Spirit from his Deck to his hand and then activated Fire Formation – Tensu. He used his second Normal Summon from Tensu to Summon Spirit and then activated its effect to Special Summon Leopard from his Graveyard. He Tuned Leopard with Spirit to try to Synchro Summon Brotherhood of the Fire Fist – Horse Prince; but Tipple flipped Solemn Warning and paid 2000 Life Points to negate its Summon!

 

Tipple drew a Harpie Dancer next turn and then Summoned Harpie Channeler to the field. She used her Hunting Ground to destroy Tensu and then discarded Harpie Dancer to Special Summon Harpie Lady 1 from her Deck. She destroyed Tenki with her Hunting Ground and then used Harpie Dancer’s effect to return Harpie Lady 1 to her hand and Summon it back to the field. Tipple destroyed her own Harpies’ Hunting Ground with her Hunting Ground’s effect after Harpie Lady 1 was Summoned back to the field. Next, Tipple discarded Harpie Channeler to activate Hysteric Party and Special Summon Harpie Dancer and Harpie Channeler from her Graveyard. She discarded Harpie Queen to add Harpies’ Hunting Ground from her Deck to her hand and then activated it to boost the ATK of her Harpies. Direct attacks from all 5 of Tipple’s Harpies wiped out all of White’s Life Points!

White flipped his face-down Fire Formation – Tenki and used its effect to add Brotherhood of the Fire Fist – Spirit from his Deck to his hand. He Summoned Spirit to the field and used its effect to Special Summon Leopard from the Graveyard. Tipple flipped Overworked to destroy both monsters; but then White activated Rekindling to Special Summon them back to the field! Next, White Tuned Leopard with Spirit to Synchro Summon Brotherhood of the Fire Fist – Horse Prince, and Special Summoned Brotherhood of the Fire Fist – Rooster from his Deck with Horse Prince’s effect. He activated Rooster’s effect to send his face-up Tenki to the Graveyard and Set Fire Formation – Gyokkou from his Deck. He activated Gyokkou to pin down Tipple’s Trap Stun and then activated Rekindling to Special Summon Leopard and Spirit back from his Graveyard. Next, he activated Leopard’s effect to Tribute his Spirit and Set Tensu from his Deck. He flipped Tensu and then combined Leopard with Rooster to Xyz Summon Brotherhood of the Fire Fist – Lion Emperor. He detached Spirit from Lion Emperor to add Spirit from his Graveyard to his hand with Lion Emperor’s effect and then used Tensu to Normal Summon Brotherhood of the Fire Fist – Gorilla.

White activated Mystical Space Typhoon next, destroying Tipple’s face-down Dimensional Prison. White activated Rekindling to Special Summon Leopard back to the field and then Tributed it to Set Tenki from his Deck. He activated Tenki to add Brotherhood of the Fire Fist – Spirit from his Deck to his hand, and then activated Fire Formation – Tensu and used its effect to Normal Summon Spirit.

White Summoned Wolfbark next, and used its effect to Special Summon Gorilla from his Graveyard. He combined Wolfbark with Gorilla to Xyz Summon Lavalval Chain, and detached an Xyz Material from it to send Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos from his Deck to his Graveyard. Next, he banished Brotherhood of the Fire Fist – Gorilla and Brotherhood of the Fire Fist – Leopard from his Graveyard to Special Summon Blaster from his Graveyard, and attacked directly with Blaster, Tiger King, and Lavalval Chain to drop Tipple down to 800 Life Points.
