HIKOKUBO MEMO
“Exodius” seemed to be completely invincible with no blind spots, but an unexpected situation came up. “Armityle” appeared behind “Exodius”, activating “Phantom of Fury”. Which casts all monsters into the world of nothingness (i.e. banishing)
Johan: “Now, I grant control of Armityle to you. Exodius is only unaffected by the effects of monsters I control”
Then after all that, Armityle returns.

● Activate the effect of “Royal Sword” on the field. Place 1 Crest Counter on it. (Crest Counter: 0 => 1)

HIKOKUBO MEMO
This is a Neo “Cloudian” Deck.

HIKOKUBO MEMO
Monster effects cannot be used against “Fog King”.
The plot idea here is Amon should be the one applying pressure, putting Johan on the back foot. Not only are his monster effects sealed but he cannot destroy “Fog King”. Johan launches a desperate attack at Amon, but it’s easily parried.

● When “Royal Sword” is destroyed and sent to the GY, activate the Set “Crest Burn” on the field. Remove 3 Beacon Counters on “Fog Castle” (Beacon Counters: 3 => 0) Since no Monster Card Zones can be used, “Fog King” is destroyed and sent to the GY.

TURN 10 >>> AMON
JOHAN LP: 100 / AMON LP: 1800
● Draw 1 card from the Deck (“Magical Mallet”).
