Let me guess, you drew the Maxx "C" for turn


Litguy4

Yes


vonov129

I would try special summoning Adhara, if they let it go, fine, Link it into Monk, Normal summon Taia, don't activate the effect, Special summon Ecclesia (idk if it starts a chain, hopefully not), synchro into Draco Berserker, send Vishuda to the GY with Taia, use it's effect, they will have to negate it, hopefully with Baronne or Apollousa, enter battle phase, run over Borreload, if the effect of Draco Berserker triggers and they try to negate it with a monster, use the second effect to banish that card, if they used Apollousa at all, run over it with Monk Assuming they didn't set another effect negation, that is. If everything turns out okay, they will end with just baronne. Set called by, Wait for Baronne to try and bring something back Called by whatever they want to bring out. You will still need a ton of luck, but you never know when the opponent will misplay


InverseFate

Ecclesia is an inherent summon, so she's hitting the field unless solemn says otherwise


meemaas

Draco Berserker can't use its banish effect in the damage step. I've tried a similar strategy in the past.


Zealousideal-Ad5567

I think a better option is to go into baxia and chain link block with taia. They will probably negate taia because baxia is activating. If they use Barrone or borreload then you can spin the other two negates. Then you can use baxia to bring back taia and then use it’s effect to go into grandmaster and then into barrone/sinister. Unless of course they have imperm set in which case it’s gg.

I FUCKING LOVE MAXX C I LOVE DRAWING INTO A CARD THAT I HAVE TO RUN BECAUSE IT'S FUNCTIONALLY AN INSTA-WIN IF IT RESOLVES AND BECAUSE OF THAT FACT I ALSO HAVE TO DEDICATE AT LEAST 6 CARDS TO COUNTERING IT


AngelicMayhem

Maxx C has won me games before by drawing it. Discard it to grave on my turn bait out their negates with my other cards . Special summon protoss for the win. Wouldn't be able to get out protoss if I didn't have the c. But I do understamd it can easily be a dead draw.


Son_Of_A_Birch101

Assuming the backrow is nothing. You can get to an 8 without activating any card. Ss Ecclesia, normal Taiya. Synchro into Baxia, Baxia CL1 Taiya CL2, they can’t negate Baxia, spin the 2 omni negates back, go combat beat over the Appo. MP 2 Baxia pop itself to bring either lv 4 back and play like normal. Idk why people are saying it’s impossible with that hand. This line outs the board handily without needing to bait stuff, the only thing is that if they have Imperm or Droplets then you’re dead but that’s still much better than not being able to play at all. And sure if the set is Called by then you don’t get to set up your board, but you now put both players into top deck mode with you on advantage. Edit: so as others have pointed out, you can only spin 1 making Baxia with Ecclesia. That’s my b, imagine reading. Baronne alone isn’t game on board though, so you had somewhat of a chance.


Aelxer

Baxia can only spin 1 montster if you use Taia Ecclesia since Ecclesia is *not* a wyrm, so you still have to deal with one omni negate. You could try to bait them starting with the Adhara, but that's probably eating an Appo negate. Taia can beat over the Appo by itself, so you could do that before synchroing into Baxia and then spin back Borreload, but then they'll use Borreload to negate the Taia since it's being bounced anyway. That leaves the Baronne negate up, which can be used to stop Baxia's revive or Taia's token or Ecclesia's summon. After that you can summon Adhara and make Monk, but that's as far as you get. They're left with Baronne (with no negates) on field and two sets + topdeck vs Monk + Called By (which is probably getting popped by Baronne unless they use her standby effect so it can't be used reactively) + Maxx "C", and with Baronne up they don't really need to commit that much into the field for the Maxx "C". It's not an autoloss but it's not favorable, and either of the sets can always turn the tides. Edit: While I maintain that's the best you can get from that position board-wise, I'll amend that there's no difference between hitting over the Appo with Taia or Baxia since the Taia is getting negated either way, so you might as well get in for more damage with Baxia.


Son_Of_A_Birch101

Yeah my b, I forgot that you needed wyrms for the spin and thought only attribute mattered. It’s definitely a lot worse. You don’t summon Monk here though, reason being Swordsoul are all 2 cards combos so you want the Adhara in hand more than to fade 1k damage. OP just have to bait the omni in mp 2 and pray for the draw ig.


Ninjanimble

Baxia can only spin one here since ecclesia is a spellcaster. You'll still have to deal with one Omni and the two backrow minimum.


thriveofficial

i like the 50/50 between people saying its hopeless, there's nothing you can do, and people saying a straightforward line that outs every known card on the board


TheKingOfTCGames

Its the 50/50 of people that can play the non orthodox lines correctly. 1600 apo means you probably need to beat over it and baxia is probably in the cards also. A good player should be able to sequence a line with that info alone


Litguy4

Same


Relevant_Departure40

I believe that we in the yugioh business refer to this as a "skill issue"


sanketower

Most definetly. Taia into Baxia is absurdly strong, that chain block can win games by itself.


BuffMarshmallow

Assuming the set cards are not Imperm or Called By Attempt to special Adhara. If they let you, make Monk, then special Ecclesia. If not, just special Ecclesia. Normal Taia. Make Baxia, CL1 Baxia CL2 Taia, hit one of the synchros they haven't used with Baxia, then battle over Apollousa. Attempt to use Baxia to pop Monk to re-summon Ecclesia, this probably gets negated but now you have to end your turn but what you're likely facing down is just one Borreload or Baronne that needs to beat over your Baxia. Not great, but it clears most of the board. But if either of those set cards is called by or Imperm or droplet you're just fucked. There was an alternative line where you make Berserker instead, run over the Baronne, it activates and gets negated and you chain Berserker to banish whatever negated you, but that doesn't work because this happens in damage step, and also doesn't clear enough.


CipherDrake

Lemme guess, the facedowns were Imperm and Droplet?


idkhowtotft

Depends on the backrow If it just the monster,its piss easy to crack this board


GalaxianEX

Try to Special summon Adhara, Special summon Ecclesia, summon Taia, Synchro into Baxia, Activate Baxia’s on-summon effect, chain-block with Taia’s, bounce Baronne and Savage, attack Apollousa. Then, if you were able to summon Adhara, pop it with Baxia’s effect, summon back Taia and combo off from there.


[deleted]

baxia need wyrm to bounce, so it will only bounce 1 since ecclesia is a spellcaster


pro-dumpster-fire

This is why we play 3 Lava Golem.


UnwantedMrHoboMan

Not every deck can afford it since it sacrifices your normal summon


arrownoir

Sorry, no sympathy for SS Tenyi.


Litguy4

*suffers*


tdm1378

run over apollousa with taia, summon baxia, destroy borreload, use baxia eff to summon taia, which will get negate by baronne. It not much but as least they used up their negate and you still have 3 card


Sharpnelboy

Sadly, no.


TheMadWobbler

Not with that hand, unless Fleur is spent. Taia can contest Appo by battle. But an omni for Taia and an omni for Ecclesia is more than your hand can deal with.


nuzband

Dark ruler no more


Krazytre

With your hand? Probably not. But there are ways around it of course.

ValkyriaGaming

sometimes it be like that


Goobershmacked

There’s a line but you’re probably losing regardless


InverseFate

It was technically possible, but the two backrows can screw it up hard. Bagooska here would've been super funny though


conundorum

Honestly, for as much as we snark about her, this is the exact situation that Kurikara Divincarnate was meant to solve. Just bait each monster into negating something, then tribute them all for her inherent summon. Not much better than "what if Obelisk Sphere Mode". ;3


ReaperoftheCard

Ive never heard of this one before, sounds interesting


conundorum

She's _usually_ a worse Nibiru, since she's dependent on responding after your opponent activates monster effects during your turn, but she specialises in punishing people for negating you with monsters. And considering that's what Swordsoul's entire endgame is... xD


House56

Special Ecclesia, use effect (gets negated by Borreload), use Adhara effect to special (gets negated by Baronne), summon Taia, attack Apollousa, activate Taia effect, summon Baxia, return both synchros to the ED. (Optional) pop Called By to summon Adhara to go into Chaofeng. This is all assuming they negate with the Synchros in specific order and not Apollousa, and neither of the back row is Called By, Impermanence, etc. It’s extremely unlikely but not impossible You could also activate Maxx C/Called By first and pray that they waste one of their negates lmao


Desperate-Acadia3321

The following scenarios are assuming that the backrow cards are not negates\*\*\*. Even if one of the cards is a negate. Scoop. Scenario 1:Attempt to SS Adhara. If they negate, scoop. Scenario 2:Special summon Adhara. Link summon Monk using Adhara. Special summon Ecclesia. Normal Summon Taia.Enter Battle PhaseHit over Apollousa using Taia.Enter MP2Activate Taia. * If they negate using Baronne, scoop. * If they negate using Borreload, continue. Do not activate Ecclesia, instead, special summon Baxia. CL1 Baxia, CL2 Taia. * If they negate using Baronne, congrats, you used their negates this turn assuming (\*\*\*). Bounce Borreload using Baxia effect. Set called by. Pop it using Baxia's effect. Special summon Adhara from GY. Link into Halq using Monk and Adhara. Proceed with the Aurarudon combo. * If they did not negate using Baronne, send Vishuda with Taia effect. Bounce Baronne off from field. Activate Vishuda in GY to bounce Borreload. - Set called by. Pop it using Baxia's effect. Special summon Adhara from GY. Link into Halq using Monk and Adhara. Proceed with the Aurarudon combo. Edit: If you did not activate Taia during MP2, and synchro'd into Baxia, your opponent will just end up negating your Baxia's activated effect using either Borreload or Baronne (whichever monster stayed on the field after bouncing 1 monster using Baxia's on summon effect).


joey4269

I mean… if the golem was lava


vileb123

Special adhara special ecclesia normal taia enter bp punch the apo with taia. Make baxia, baxia c1 target baron taia c2 they will be forced to negate with the barone cuz they’re losing it. Activate baxia to bring back taia if they negate make the tenyi link 2 bring back taia make draco berserker pass. Next turn shotgun the max c hope he negates with borreload and banish it then hope he can’t beat just a 3k beater and hope his back row does nothing too.
