Chương 732: Chapter 732: Breaking the Lock
"Morphing Jar and Nightmare Penguin?" The D frowned. "You want to bounce Plasma with Penguin? Useless! I said your monsters are blank under Plasma—no effects..."
"Only 'on the field,'" Kira said. "If Plasma negates my monsters on the field, what if they're not on the field?"
"What?"
"Quick-Play Spell 'Mystik Wok': tribute a monster on the field and gain LP equal to its ATK or DEF." 1
Kira raised a hand.
"I tribute 'Morphing Jar'—"
[Morphing Jar ATK 700]
"—and gain LP equal to its ATK."
[Kira LP 3300 → 4000]
"Healed? Even so, it's meaningless before Plasma—"
He stopped mid-sentence, pupils shrinking.
Wait—this is...!?
"Noticed?" Kira smiled. "Right. Morphing Jar resolves while already in the GY because it was tributed by Mystik Wok before resolution. Since it's no longer on the field at resolution, Plasma doesn't negate it."
Same trick he used to break Sartorius's Light Barrier: tribute-escape, a classic.
"And Morphing Jar's effect..."
The D's heart lurched.
Damn, the Jar's effect is—!
"Exactly. Morphing Jar forces both players to discard their entire hands and then draw five."
Kira pointed at the top of The D's Deck.
"And you must draw five cards into your hand—including that face-up 'D - Force' on top."
"I see!" Aster realized. "'D - Force' only unleashes Plasma's hidden power while it's face-up on top of the Deck. If it's drawn—"
Plasma's hidden abilities all shut off!
"And I used 'Desert Sunlight' to flip my monsters, so both Morphing Jar and Nightmare Penguin have mandatory triggers.
When multiple mandatory effects trigger at the same time, I can choose their order."
In other words, self-ordered chain building.
Simple principle: on a single chain, first-in resolves last. With multiple mandatory triggers, place what you want to resolve last at the end to control resolution order.
"So I'll chain them as follows:
Chain 1: Nightmare Penguin, targeting 'Destiny HERO – Plasma' to return it to hand. Chain 2: Morphing Jar, both players discard hands and draw five. Chain 3: Mystik Wok, tribute Morphing Jar to ensure Jar isn't negated by Plasma."
Kira explained.
"Thus Jar dodges suppression via tribute-escape; we both draw five. Since 'D - Force' leaves the top of your Deck, Plasma loses its 'negate opponent monsters' and targeting protection.
Then Chain 1—Penguin—resolves last. With D - Force no longer active, all of D - Force's resistances vanish, so Penguin bounces successfully."
Kira crooked a finger at the opponent's field.
"Return 'Destiny HERO – Plasma' to the hand."
