How To Beat Electrum OTK

Mono Mermail yang dibawa Oscar Zelaya memenangkan YCS Austin, dari sini pula menunjukkan Mermail masih menduduki kursi top tier di atas banyak deck, di Top 32 setengah dari jumlah deck yang ada (16/32) adalah mermail, berlanjut hingga top 16 (8/16), top 8 (4/8), hinnga top 4 (2/4). Namun jumlahnya selalu terpotong banyak, so mermail masih bisa diimbangi.

But, here comes new challenger. Deck Electrum OTK jadi Black Horse melaju hingga top 16. Perjalanan deck ini tampak begitu mulus, why? sepertinya bakal ngehype, oke kali ini Meta-Gamers bakal bahas deck ini sekaligus gimana hadapinya.

Biar kita tahu gimana cara hadapi deck ini, tentu kita perlu tahu gimana cara mainin deck ini, langsung aja :

Kenapa deck ini disebut Electrum OTK?

Ada kartu ini di dalemnya :v

Elemental HERO Electrum

Attrib: Light

Type: Warrior/Fusion/Effect

Level:10

Atk: 2900

Def: 2600

"Elemental HERO Avian" + "Elemental HERO Burstinatrix" + "Elemental HERO Clayman" + "Elemental HERO Bubbleman" This monster cannot be Special Summoned Except by Fusion Summon. The Attribute of this card is also treated as WIND, WATER, FIRE and EARTH. When this card is Fusion Summoned, returned all removed from play cards to their owners' Deck(s), then shuffle those Deck(s). Increase the ATK of this card by 300 points for each monster on your opponent's side of the field that shares an Attribute with this card.

Gimana sih cara mainnya bingung nih?

Deck ini punya 3 kartu kunci untuk ngeloop monster2 fusion untuk keluar masuk Extra Deck, Yaitu Fusion Gate, Chain Material, dan Elemental HERO Electrum.

Fusion Gate

Group: Spell Card

Type: Spell

Icon:Field

As long as this card remains face-up on the field, a Fusion Monster can be Fusion Summoned without using "Polymerization". The Fusion Material monsters used in the Fusion Summon are not sent to the Graveyard, but are removed from play.

Chain Material

Group: Trap Card

Type: Trap

Any time you Fusion Summon a monster this turn, you can remove from play, from your side of the field, Deck, hand or Graveyard, Fusion Material Monsters that are listed on the Fusion Monster Card, and use them as Fusion Material Monsters. You cannot attack during the turn this card is activated. If you used this effect for a Fusion Summon, the Summoned Fusion Monster(s) is destroyed during the End Phase.

Fusion Gate membantu untuk melakukan Fusion summon berkali-kali asalkan memiliki material di field atau hand, dan membanish materialnya. Chain Material memberi akses ke material Fusion, membolehkan player menggunakan Material dari Main Deck, Hand, atau Grave. So, kita bisa berkali-kali summon. Sedangkan Electrum mengembalikan semua monster yang sudah dibanish via fusion gate tadi ke deck, jadi kamu bisa merepeat fusion, hingga ngeloop.

Terus gimana caranya OTK kata si chain material gabisa nyerang?

Pake burn si Superdreadnought bla bla bla alias Superdonat alias Gustav Max

Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max

Attrib: Earth

Type: Machine/Xyz/Effect

Level:10

Atk: 3000

Def: 3000

2 Level 10 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; inflict 2000 damage to your opponent.

Source : Alter Reality Games

Combo :

Dari Featured Match di blog Konami combo loop yang dia pake

"He played Terraforming and got another Fusion Gate, then played Chain Material! With Fusion Gate and Chain Material, he was able to banish Elemental HERO Bubbleman, Elemental HERO Clayman, Elemental HERO Burstinatrix, and Elemental HERO Avian directly from his Deck, and Fusion Summon Elemental HERO Electrum! It returned all the banished monsters to the Deck. Since Chain Material lasts the whole turn, he used the same trick for another Electrum! The materials returned once again, and Boyajian Xyz Summoned Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max! Its effect dealt 2000 damage, and Boyajian banished Electrum and Gustav Max to Fusion Summon Elemental HERO Gaia, then Fusion Summoned Elemental HERO The Shining with Electrum and Gaia. He Summoned another Electrum, and returned all the banished HEROes to the Deck and Extra Deck. He played another Electrum, made Gustav Max, and dealt 2000 damage. He made Gaia, then The Shining. He made 2 Electrums next, and stacked them for Gustav Max and another 2000 damage. He made Gaia once more, then The Shining, and then Electrum once more. One more Electrum, then Gustav Max, and it dealt the last 2000 damage to finish the Duel!"

Secara sederhana :

1. Aktifkan "Fusion Gate" terus aktifkan "Chain Material".
2. Fusion Summon Electrum banish "Elemental HERO Avian" + "Elemental HERO Burstinatrix" + "Elemental HERO Clayman" + "Elemental HERO Bubbleman"  dari Main Deck, field, atau Grave. Electrum kembalikan 4 HERO tadi ke main deck
3. Repeat step 2
4. Keluarin Superdrougnout bla bla bla pake 2 Electrum, Detach Electrum salah satu Electrum burn 2000
5. Fusion Summon Elemental HERO Gaia, banish Electrum, sama Superdrougnout bla bla bla, di gravemu jadi ada Electrum ke dua yang sebelumnya nyangkut di bawah Superdrougnout bla bla bla.
6. Fusion Summon Elemntal HERO The Shining, banish Electrum ke dua dan Gaia, (saat ini 2 Electrum ada di banish zone),
7. Repeat Step 2-5, ada Elemental HERO The Shining sama Elemental HERO Gaia di field
8. Fusion Summon Shining lagi, banish Shining+ Gaia
9. Repeat step 2 -8, sampe LP lawan Habis

Wow...

Kayaknya susah di stop itu soalnya kalau ada yang kena torrential tribute, bottomless, gabisa di solemn warning, masih bisa balik lagi, muter-muter. Gimana cara nyetop begituan?

Tanpa Siding alias masukin side deck

Kartu-kartu yang bisa kamu pakai :

Mystical Space Typhoon

Explanation : OTK dari Deck ini, sangat bergantung pada Fusion Gate dan Chain Material, Fusion Gate yang merupakan Field Spell ini perlu tetep face-up di field, jadi kamu bisa simpen si MST untuk nunggu si Gate, asal ga ke negate si Dark Bribe atau Solemn Judgment. Tapi wait, di decknya ada 3 Terraforming, dan 3 Fusion Gate, so bisa aja kalaupun kamu berhasil destroy Fusion Gate, turun yang lain. Jadi target paling enak adalah kamu untung2an bisa jedor chain material sebelum bisa diaktifkan atau tidak :v

Solemn Judgment

Explanation : Kali ini kamu bisa solemn si Chain Material, karena jumlah chain material hanya 3, tetap berdoa ga di negate bribe atau judgment dia, apalagi ada chain material kedua

Effect Veiler/Fiendish Chain

Explanation : Apakah kamu memerhatikan jalannya combo? ada kondisi di mana 2 Electrum terbanish, dan butuh Electrum ketiga yang muncul untuk ngereturn 2 Electrum ke Extra Deck, ini saat yang paling tepat untuk ngeveiler Electrum. Walau sebenernya ngeveiler yang pertama pun udah bikin materialnya nyangkut di banish zone. Yup kelemahan yang dimiliki versi ini cuma bawa 1 set material electrum untuk menghindari bad hand.

Dengan Side Deck

Imperial Iron Wall/Chaos Hunter

Chaos Hunter
Attrib: Dark
Type: Fiend/Effect
Level:7
Atk: 2500
Def: 1600
When your opponent Special Summons a monster, you can discard 1 card to Special Summon this card from your hand. Your opponent cannot remove cards from play.

Explanation : Jelas, bunuh efek si Gate, jadi gabisa ngebanish

Prohibition

Explanation : Prohib Gatenya/chain material/electrum/material electrum

Mind Crush

Explanation : Player lebih memilih ngekeep Fusion Gate di tangan daripada di field, biar gak kena jedor di hand, dan jika mereka punya terraforming di hand kemungkinan akan langsung dipake search untuk hindari ngejunk di hand karena kehabisan target sekaligus thinning deck

Trap Stun/Royal Decree

Explanation : bunuh salah satu kartu kunci di deck ini

Hanewata/Nature's Reflection

Nature's Reflection
Group: Trap Card
Type: Trap
During this turn, any effect activated by your opponent that would inflict damage becomes an effect that inflicts damage to their Life Points.
Explanation : kalau bawa ini agak maksa sih, kecuali banyak deck burn di meta setempat

Gozen Match/Rivalry of Warlord

Rivalry of Warlords
Group: Trap Card
Type: Trap
Icon:Continuous
Each player sends monsters they control to the Graveyard so that they only control 1 Type of monster. Each player can only control 1 Type of monster.
Attribute di deck ini beda-beda, dan si Superdroughtnut bla bla bla alias Superdonat alias Gustav Max punya type yang enggak warrior.

Summon Limit/Vanity's Fiend
Summon Limit
Group: Trap Card
Type: Trap
Icon:Continuous
Neither player can Summon more than two times per turn.

Explanation : Stop SSnya deck ini, akan lebih baik jika mengaktifkan summon limit setelah lawan aktifkan chain material

Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell
Group: Trap Card
Type: Trap
Icon:Counter
Discard 1 Spell Card. Negate the activation and the effect of a Spell Card and destroy it. Your opponent cannot activate Spell Cards with that name during the rest of this Duel.

Explanation : Negate Fusion Gate pake kartu ini, so, membuat 2 Fusion Gate dan 3 Terraforming atau yang tersisa ga guna lagi

Kepikiran cara lain?

Catatan :
Ingat, cara2 di atas hanya menghindarkan kamu dari kematian di giliran itu, jika kamu meloloskan dia sampe next turn masih bisa macem2, ada the Shining juga untuk ngerecyle Elemental HERO yang terbanish. Beberapa kartu dengan explanation di atas hanya berlaku untuk  Electrum OTK versi versi YCS Austin Robert Boyajian, kalau yang bawa Blaze Fenix dan kamu nunggu Electrum ke tiga buat di veiler, mungkin bisa mati duluan. Bubble Illusion juga bisa bikin kamu di FTK, jadi trap2 dan spell yang disebutin di atas.

Bubble Illusion
Group: Spell Card
Type: Spell
Icon:Quick-Play
Activate only while there is a face-up "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" on your side of the field. During this turn, you can activate 1 Trap Card from your hand.
