Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 425, Page 419: There is no most powerful magic, only the most skilled duelist.

The biggest characteristic of the Prophecy deck is that it relies on luck. If you're lucky enough, the deck will be incredibly strong; otherwise, it will be pitifully weak.

This characteristic is a consensus among almost everyone.

However, this user of the Prophecy deck subverted this characteristic, and even when luck wasn't on his side, he was still able to unleash tremendous power.

That's why he was able to make it to the finals and even suppress his opponent's Dark Magic deck at one point during the match.

"Come out, my ace."

"The Dark Wizard: Tom Marvolo Riddle".

"True Liberation Form!"

With the appearance of this powerful and handsome male wizard, the cheers in the arena reached their peak. If the previous liberation form could directly determine the victory, then wouldn't the true liberation form be even more invincible now?

Unfortunately, wizards who are passionate about Wizarding Cards know one thing: not long after the last Wizarding Cards tournament ended, the official added a field mode. The Dark Wizard Tom's Unleashed form can only win directly when used in a Dark Magic field (Dark Magic damage increased by 50%, non-Dark Magic damage reduced by 50%). It cannot be used in other fields and can only be used as an extremely powerful character card.

A standard official patch.

After all, each new version is stronger than the last.

However, this True Release form has the effect of having a built-in Black Magic Field, which means that as long as the user chooses to attack in the next turn, victory can be declared immediately.

As expected, they won.

On the way to Durmstral School, Harry couldn't help but discuss the details of the upcoming Wizard Card Tournament.

They were broadcasting the match live via Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scoop), and when they heard the other side summon their True Release Form, they felt as if they were watching the match even though they were thousands of miles apart, and they were incredibly excited.

"Who do you think will win?" Neville asked his companions, full of curiosity.

"Is there even a question? Of course it's the guy who uses black magic. The next attack will be enough to declare victory. The other side won't stand a chance."

Ron was the first wizard to support a dark magic deck.

Draco glanced at him: "Luo Dayou, we both use the prophetic system, so why is there such a big difference between you and the others?"

"I was just unlucky," Ron argued.

Draco continued, "Other people are even unlucky than you, okay? Actually, there's nothing wrong with admitting you're bad; it's a brave thing to do."

Ron thought about it and agreed with Draco, so he said, "Alright then, I admit I didn't play my cards as well as he did."

Who knew that Draco would suddenly shout, "Everyone come and listen! Luo Zhixiang admits he's bad!"

"Malfoy, are you asking for a beating?"

"."

The two bickered and joked, filling the carriage with a cheerful atmosphere for a moment.

"Dali, who do you think will win?"

Hermione quietly asked Dudley. Although she didn't participate in the competitions much, she still quite liked this entertainment activity and would play a round or two with everyone when she had free time.

Dudley gave Hermione a strange look: "The one who uses the Prophecy deck."

"Impossible. According to the settings, the Dark Magic deck has already summoned the True Release form. That Prophecy deck has no chance."

Dali nodded, giving a very perfunctory reply.

Anything is possible.

Seeing Dudley's strange attitude, Hermione felt very puzzled: "Huh? Why are you so sure?"

Dudley, trying not to laugh, said, "You really want to know?"

Hermione said, "Of course."

"Because... I specifically invited both of them."

As soon as Dudley said this, everyone looked at him.

Were you invited here specifically?

In other words, these two are actors.

Hermione paused, seemingly shocked by the answer, and pressed on, "Purpose?"

Dudley shrugged and said, "To show everyone that Senior Tom isn't scary."

Hearing this, Hermione's heart skipped a beat: "Could the card that defeated the True Unleashed form be..."

"That's right, it's the card that everyone thought was the ace in the last Wizarding Card Game, but failed to play any role at all—Minister of Magic Fudge."

Dudley said, moving closer to Hermione's seat. This section of the carriage was a bit cramped and small.

"What could be more shocking than the universally acknowledged strongest being defeated by the universally acknowledged weakest?"

The card that received the most buffs in this update's Arena mode is actually Fudge, as he is a card that can only be used under specific circumstances.

He was just an unfinished work before, which is why he acted so useless.

This was the tone that Dali set from the very beginning.

The Wizard Card Game tournament venue.

"I have to draw a card in my turn."

He pinched a card between his thumb and forefinger and pulled it out.

"Modify the field. Activate a specific field card—Ministry of Magic."

This is an extremely special field card; it can only be used on cards prefixed with "Ministry of Magic".

"Fudge's hidden effect can only be activated when the Ministry of Magic's field appears."

The two complement each other and form a complete deck.

"Minister of Magic Fudge Unleashed."

Fudge's "wise and mighty" face became even more resolute.

The person then drew another card from their hand.

"Activate the Reality Marble: The Minister of Magic's Army."

The next second, it was as if they were in a small Ministry of Magic square, and one Auror after another appeared, all of them following behind Fudge.

"Activate effect."

"Level suppression!"

The effect of level suppression is that all effect cards, spell cards, and weapon cards on the field are nullified, and a battle of pure values ​​ensues.

The strength of the card "Dark Wizard: Tom" lies in its effect; although its base value is high, it is limited. The biggest feature of the card "Fudge" is its high pure value.

It can be said that Minister of Magic Fudge is the nemesis of the dark wizard Tom, suppressing him in every aspect, from effects to stats to his unleashed form.

The winner is the user of the Prophecy deck.

"There is no strongest deck, only the strongest player."

Inside the train car, after the referee's announcement came through the Den Den Mushi, Dali said this.

"This statement applies to everyone here as well."

"There is no most powerful magic, only the most skilled wizards in duels."

"At most one year. We will have to face that man. There is no doubt that he is powerful, perhaps the most powerful wizard in the world. I do not want any casualties among us, the disciplinary group, or Hogwarts."

In terms of pure magical power, Grindelwald and Dumbledore were indeed inferior to Voldemort without using the Elder Wand. As for Dudley, he considered himself a spellcaster, since many of his methods did not fall under the category of wizards.

Dudley snapped his fingers, and a transparent barrier enveloped everyone. After ensuring that no one could eavesdrop, Dudley took out five items from his pocket and arranged them in a row on the table.

"Keep these safe; these are the destruction wands I made."
