Genesys Round 5 Feature Match: Hector Aaron Luviano Lopez vs. Jacob Allan Dotson

We’re halfway into today’s competition, and we’re back with another Genesys Feature Match! Hector Luviano Lopez is a Houston local, playing Jurrac Snake-Eye Fire Kings! He’s facing Jacob Dotson, from the Dallas Fort Worth area, playing Evil HEROes! Well, it’s a mix with Destiny, Elemental, and Masked HERO cards too, of course. But Evil nonetheless!

Duel 1

Dotson won the dice roll and played first. Luviano’s opening hand was Fire King Sanctuary, Circle of the Fire Kings, Small World, Jurrac Megalo, and Sacred Fire King Garunix.

Dotson began with the effect of Evil HERO Adusted Gold, adding Evil Assault to his hand. He played E – Emergency Call next, finding Elemental HERO Shadow Mist. He played Evil Assault, discarding Shadow Mist to Special Summon Evil HERO Dead-End Prison. He used Dead-End Prison to send Evil HERO Sinister Necrom to the Graveyard, and used that to Special Summon Evil HERO Infernal Rider. Infernal Rider’s effect put Dark Fusion in his hand. He activated it to fuse Infernal Rider and Dead-End Prison into Evil HERO Inferno Wing – Backfire! He added Dark Supremacy to his hand. It was at this point he realized he’d forgotten to activate his Shadow Mist’s effect, but he had no choice but to play on.
