This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 444 - 372: Teacher Cardstick’s Strongest Deck_2
"Teacher Gun, this card of yours is impressive."
Quickly scanning through, Li Pu gave his compliment.
This Ghostly, besides being entirely red, differed from other Ghostlies in that it had a pair of horns on its head.
[Horned Ghostly]
Berserk, 10 points, B
Attack 10, 100/100
[Ghostly Constitution - Passive]: Horned Ghostly cannot [Defend], but its damage taken is reduced by 20%
[Horned Attack - 20 life]: Horned Ghostly launches an attack, rendering the target unable to [Defend] this turn
The biggest feature of the Ghostly series cards is that most of them have this [Ghostly Constitution] passive.
This passive, whether it’s a strength or a weakness, is hard to judge.
Although it has a constant damage reduction, the inability to [Defend] lacks some tactical initiative.
It depends on the specific situation and mainly how the player utilizes the deck and performs at the table.
"The more impressive ones are yet to come."
The Cardstick smiled and unveiled the card on his right.
[Ghostly Sister Ghost~]
A projection of a girl on the upper body and a Ghostly on the lower body floated out from the card.
The information on this card also made Li Pu raise an eyebrow.
[Ghostly Little Girl]
Wise, 7 points, B
Attack 10, 100/100, 4/4
[Ghostly Constitution - Passive]: Ghostly Little Girl cannot [Defend], but her damage taken is reduced by 20%
[Loud Scream - 2 energy]: Ghostly Little Girl screams and causes 20 damage to a row of cards simultaneously
This is a group attack card, ideally capable of causing 60 damage in one turn.
Enough energy to release the skill twice, causing 120 damage in total over 2 turns.
This amount of output is quite formidable.
However, Li Pu was a bit puzzled as placing this card in the second or third row might be better.
Because although it can attack groups, it lacks self-preservation skills and cannot [Defend].
If controlled or focused, it might fall before using up its energy.
However, Li Pu’s doubt was resolved when the third middle card was revealed.
[King Ghost King!]
A projection of a giant tiger wearing a crown, with a "King" character on its forehead, almost translucent, leapt from the card.
Other than the special constitution, its appearance was almost identical to a tiger.
Its stripes appeared smoother and sharper, like rows of long swords.
Standing on its card, just by quietly scanning the three Mushroom Men ahead with its gaze, it exuded an undeniable imposing aura.
"This... is just too much, isn’t it?"
Li Pu, after only a glance at the card’s details, had a change in expression.
It’s not just a little excessive; it’s downright too much.
Teacher Gun managed to pull out an S-grade card in the first revealing turn, and if that’s not excessive, then what is?
Cardstick: My surname isn’t Gun, nor is it Card, thank you.
[King Ghostly Tiger]
Berserk, 20 points, S
Attack 30, 100/100,
[Ghostly Constitution - Passive]: King Ghostly Tiger cannot [Defend], but its damage taken is reduced by 20%
[Ghostly King Aid - Passive]: When King Ghostly Tiger is present, it increases the [Ghostly Constitution] effect of itself and the two closest revealed allied Ghostly cards beside it to damage -50%
[Ghostly Sacrifice - 0 life]: When King Ghostly Tiger’s life reaches 0, it can immediately devour one revealed allied Ghostly card to fully restore its life
[Glowing Tiger Claw - 20 life]: King Ghostly Tiger can attack one additional target
"Damn, this damn card is still top-notch even after the version update."
"If I had this card, I would also build a Ghostly deck."
"Unfortunately, my S-grade card got downgraded after the version update."
The tone of the three audience members was both envious and regretful.
S-grade cards are truly a rare find.
In fact, they knew that in the field, only Cardstick could compete against Li Pu.
At this point, Li Pu finally understood why Cardstick dared place [Ghostly Little Girl] in the frontline.
This [King Ghostly Tiger] is simply shameless.
Its presence grants the front row cards on both sides a 50% damage reduction.
This means that Cardstick’s three cards in front, incapable of [Defend], now have the reduction of [Defend].
And while benefiting from this reduction, they also have action capability!
Moreover, this is just [King Ghostly Tiger]’s passive skill; its active skills are also formidable.
[Ghostly Sacrifice] allows it to remain immortal as long as there are other revealed allied Ghostly cards.
This is beyond a simple sustainability ability; it should be called an immortality ability.
[Glowing Tiger Claw], combined with its high attack power of 30, totals 60 damage in one turn.
And with [Ghostly Sacrifice], [Glowing Tiger Claw] is essentially unlimited in use.
Simply the three initially revealed cards made Li Pu realize the opponent’s strength.
High group damage reduction, armor-breaking capability, powerful area attacks, and strong healing ability of core cards.
While others hide their S-grade cards, fearing they’d become targets and quickly get taken down, only this [King Ghostly Tiger] can be boldly displayed.
(Did I agree too hastily?)
Even if Guan Heshi wasn’t well-versed in card battles, he could understand card information.
Furthermore, seeing Li Pu starting to frown made him a bit uneasy.
Still, having promised the opponent, he could not back down now.
Both sides finished revealing, and now came the action turn.
Li Pu’s choice was [Tangler Mushroom] + [Shield Mushroom] + [Big Wood Mushroom] to attack [Horned Ghostly], dealing 30 damage.
[Horned Ghostly] activated its skill, taking 20 self-damage and attacking [Big Wood Mushroom], dealing 10 damage.
[King Ghostly Tiger] activated its skill, taking 20 self-damage and attacking [Big Wood Mushroom] + [Tangler Mushroom], dealing 30 damage each.
[Ghostly Little Girl] activated her skill, dealing 20 damage each to Li Pu’s three cards.
Lastly, [Big Wood Mushroom] healed allied cards for 10 life points.
After one turn, the card situation was as follows:
Score used: 37 points, remaining score: 63 points
[Horned 50-Entangle][King Tiger 80][Sister]
VS
[Shield 80][Big Wood 50][Tangler 60]
Score used: 30 points, remaining score: 70 points
For Li Pu, this result was still acceptable.
Attacking [King Ghostly Tiger] wasn’t very useful, given its strong sustainability.
So he might as well attack the next biggest threat, the armor-breaking Horned Ghostly.
Teacher Cardstick’s side, of course, held a clear advantage.
However, he looked at Li Pu with appreciation.
Because without considering the card’s life points, in terms of actions that turn, Li Pu won the strategy.
He originally thought that Li Pu would know he couldn’t win, so he’d adopt a full [Defend] tactic or only let the [Tangler Mushroom] attack to limit and preserve strength.
In the end, [Horned Ghostly] unnecessarily consumed 20 life to execute its skill, but faced no [Defend] from [Big Wood Mushroom].
But in such a situation, Cardstick remained confident.
[Tangler Mushroom] can only entangle targets with less than 50% health, which means it cannot indefinitely control [Horned Ghostly].
When the time comes, it can naturally break defenses successfully.
As for what card to reveal next turn, he already had a plan.
So the second turn of substitution arrived, and Li Pu was faced with a dilemma.
In the previous round, he barely managed an offensive.
Now, should he attack or defend in this turn?
After thinking for several minutes, he made his decision.
Both sides finished their substitution phase, the revealing phase began, and after choosing their cards, the revealing started.
"This turn, I’m revealing this card."
With a decision made, Li Pu was firm.
He revealed the card behind [Shield Mushroom].
"Oh? Bold move."
Seeing this card, Teacher Cardstick’s eyes lit up slightly.
