My anime-style card deck is fine!

"..."

The Argentine red shrimp have given up on themselves.

Round four!

Four new Argentine Red Shrimp were kicked out, and then came another wave of Spikeweed, Stealth Rock + Poison Spike combo.

It must be noted that after scattering two layers of poison darts, the opponent should have been in a state of [highly poisoned].

However, because the card effect was enhanced—so much so that the rules no longer allow the opponent to be given a [Poison] counter through such a simple method as Poison Spikes.

Only the skills [Venom] and [Venomous Fang] can apply the [Venom] counter!

Even the Venomous Beads only inflict two levels of poison!

This is the current state of these newly introduced Argentine Red Shrimp – they lose a quarter of their health each round!

"King of the Swamp~"

The Swamp King used [Spikes] again—a combination of 1+3 Stealth Rock and Spikes, one hit and you'll lose half your life!

You want to summon?

Of course you can, no one's stopping you, but you'll lose half your health as soon as you land, plus a quarter of the poison status, and you'll be dead in the next round!

"Disgusting! Ugh! Disgusting!"

Offstage, one spectator finally couldn't help but exclaim: "Using such a shady deck, where is your integrity? Where is your morality? Where is the purchase link?!"

"It's going to lose almost three-quarters of its health in one go? Doesn't that mean it won't even be able to be used for a high-level summon? It'll just cross the line to death!"

"What does 'Bronze newbie seeking stability and crossing the death line' mean?"

"Fun fact: When you want to use materials for a superior summon, the follower used as the material must be in good condition."

"In reality, some damage is manageable; the card master can rely on their mental strength to get through it. But if three-quarters of it is lost at once, there's nothing that can be done, and even the best materials become unusable. This is what's called the [Summoning Deadline]."

"Speaking of this, everyone should pay attention to that sentence: poisoning indicators are inherited—think about it carefully!"

"Huh?! Holy crap, is that some kind of scoundrel?!"

"Now even those minions that don't require status effects are no longer an option."

There is a lot of discussion about Amon online.

With Amon returning to the top tier, his popularity has also returned once again.

The voices that once belittled and slandered Amon have long since disappeared, replaced by a group of praise enthusiasts. Whether in person or online, praise and discussion about Amon are endless.

Just when they thought that was outrageous enough, they saw Amon's Laplace make an extremely outrageous move.

“Although I don’t think you have any backup plans, just in case, Laplace—”

"Use [Roar]!"

Roar.

Simply put, it's about issuing a rebuke that causes a minion on the field to return to the opponent's deck out of guilt.

In return, the opponent can Normal Summon or Special Summon another minion of the same star level from their deck to the field—this effect fails if the opponent has no minions in their deck or if there are restrictions on summoning minions on the field.

This skill, which at first glance seems to have no use and even comes at a considerable cost, shines with extraordinary brilliance at this moment.

"Hmm~!"

Laplace called out to the Argentine Red Shrimp No. 1, which had an attack power of 2,000, and then this very robust and incredibly delicious-looking shrimp was pulled back into the waterfall behind it by a force.

Then another Argentine red shrimp was kicked out from behind the waterfall.

It landed on the ground, and then...

"Crack!"

A barrage of Spikes, Stealth Rock, and Poison Spikes instantly took away half of the newly landed minion's health.

Its entire body was covered in an ominous purple hue.

Another quarter of its health was gone, and the shrimp was instantly crippled.

The new Lucky Kappa that Amon summoned is level 33 and has just learned the [Rain Dance] skill, but Amon did not summon it for the purpose of performing the Rain Dance.

But...

"Lucky Kappa, use [Sunny Day]."

Amon stood smiling behind the Lucky Kappa and explained:

"The effect of 'Sunny Day' lasts for three turns. During these three turns, Water-type minions cannot be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, and the normal attack damage of all Water-type minions is halved, as are the power of Water-type effects!"

You want me to use only water-attribute cards? No problem!

But how I use it is my business!

"!!!"

The Argentine red shrimp were completely shocked. They were all water-based attackers—one reflective barrier was already annoying enough, but then there was an extra sun!

How can I fight like this? (throws himself)

Chapter 112: Fish and Shrimp Farming? No, it's Leftover Food Recycling!

Round five.

There's not much to say. Just like that Argentine red shrimp that was yelled down earlier, it was crippled as soon as it landed.

They're not even as good as the Red Shrimp Soldiers summoned in the third round.

The effects of [Poison Spikes], [Scatter Spikes], and [Invisible Rock] target the summoning of minions, not the minions themselves—the process by which a card materializes from fantasy to reality when a minion is summoned to the field.

Poison Spikes inflicts the poison status on any minions it summons.

Spikes and Stealth Rock will cut off part of its illusion during this process. In battle, this means that it will be left with low health as soon as it lands!

"King of Swamp, [Earthquake]!"

Before the opponent could launch an attack, Amon immediately ordered the Swamp King to unleash an earthquake attack!

As one of the few Pokémon moves with a global range, Earthquake can directly damage fourteen Argentinian Red Shrimp simultaneously!

The red shrimp, which offered little resistance, were all swept away in one wave after a violent tremor!

Amon didn't summon any new Pokémon.

The rounds are fleeting.

The sixth round followed immediately!

"Splash!" Five very familiar red shrimp landed on the ground. In addition, there was a follower that looked completely different from the shrimp soldiers next to him.

The shrimp claws were enormous, more like lobsters than red shrimp, with two long antennae reaching towards the sky.

Two flags were hanging above, fluttering in the wind!

—Argentine Shrimp Soldier, Flag Bearer—

Water attribute, level 3, attack 1000, defense 1000

"Ah, after Red Shrimp comes Little Azure Dragon, what an appetizing deck." Amon couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw the new minion on the other side.

However, the little green dragon clearly didn't consider itself a meal, and instead let out a very majestic roar:

"shrimp!"

Then the shrimp instantly wilted – there was no way around it, no matter how strong a shrimp is, if it loses three-quarters of its health upon landing, it can't withstand it.

However, the little green dragon still bravely waved its two flags.

This is the result!

This effect can only be activated twice per Duel, once per turn. Special Summon 1 [Argentine Red Shrimp] from your Graveyard to the field. The Red Shrimp summoned by this effect will inherit the Battle Boost effect it received before being sent to the Graveyard.

"Oh~!"

Amon raised an eyebrow; the effect was indeed quite powerful.

If it weren't for Amon, this effect would mean that the Red Shrimp on the field would keep reviving and accumulating their own attack power!

If it were a normal duel, that would be fine, but this duel itself is abnormal!

There are 300 minions on the other side. Amon needs to keep fighting until all 300 minions are on the field and then defeat them all before he can clear this level!

Meanwhile, a mechanical building that was originally isolated by the waterfall was spat into the battlefield; it was a building resembling a beacon tower.

At the very top was a flag identical to the one used by the little green dragon.

At the same time, the ability of the mechanical building also comes into play: [The Argentine Shrimp Soldier's effect is not limited to once per turn, and the number of times the effect can be used is increased by 3]

A simple and straightforward ability!

The little green dragon frantically waved its flag, and then five red demon shrimp slowly rose from the ground... and then suddenly spat out a mouthful of shrimp roe.

He died suddenly.

"Shrimp!" Little Green Dragon exclaimed in shock.

"...You idiot, have you forgotten my card effects?" Amon was exasperated. Was this shrimp trying to be funny?

However, despite this, Amon also vaguely sensed the terror of this level.

Such an efficient method of revival!

This is only the sixth round; there are still eighteen rounds to go!

Amon could imagine that, especially those seemingly minor red shrimp soldiers, their attack stats would probably be boosted to an unbelievable level in the last few levels!

Moreover, I'm afraid that in the end, the opponent will summon all their minions and generals at once!

"You made the right choice!"

Thinking of this, Amon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If you only answer the question according to the question and build a normal Water-type Pokémon deck, you may be able to sweep through at the beginning, but you will eventually get bogged down in the huge number of weaker Pokémon!

It's important to know that Pokémon moves can't be used indefinitely!
