D/D Beatrice Combo

The Japan World Championship Qualifier 2016 saw 3 out of 4 invitations being won by D/D, and the common factor among them was that all 3 were running Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal.

D/D has some weaker opening hands that could only be developed into a D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried, leaving the D/D player with no follow up play on the next turn.

The inclusion of Beatrice in the Extra Deck allowed these weaker combinations to develop into Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal and PSY-Framelord Omega instead.

Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal and PSY-Framelord Omega refills the graveyard, setting up for a stronger play on the next turn.

This article will cover these weaker combinations that are improved with the inclusion of Beatrice.

While not as impressive as the Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon and D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried opening play, the Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal and PSY-Framelord Omega play does have its own merit.

By refilling the graveyard with D/D Swirl Slime, D/D Necro Slime and/or D/D Lamia, this creates an opportunity for a big play on the next turn.

PSY-Framelord Omega generates a temporary 1-card disruption. If PSY-Framelord Omega was destroyed and was sent to the graveyard, its effect can then be activated to return it and D/D/D Flame King Genghis from the graveyard to the Extra Deck.

A simple addition of Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal in the Extra Deck solves the issue of several poor opening hands, improving the overall consistency of D/D.

Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal can be used to send Rise to Full Height from the deck to the graveyard, setting up a looping soft-lock with PSY-Framelord Omega.

1. During the opponent’s Standby Phase, activate the effect of Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal, send Rise to Full Height from the deck to the graveyard.
2. During the opponent’s Standby Phase, activate the effect of Rise to Full Height from the graveyard, banish it and target PSY-Framelord Omega.
3. During the opponent’s Standby Phase, activate the effect of PSY-Framelord Omega, return the banished Rise to Full Height to the graveyard.
4. During the opponent’s Main Phase, when priority is passed to you, activate the effect of PSY-Framelord Omega, banishing itself and 1 card from the opponent’s hand until your next Standby Phase.

Rise to Full Height causes the opponent to be unable to attack for the rest of this turn, except for the targeted monster. Since the targeted monster, PSY-Framelord Omega, is no longer on the field, the opponent simply cannot attack for the rest of this turn.

Step 2 to Step 4 can be repeated again on the opponent’s next turn, thus creating a looping soft-lock whereby the opponent is unable to attack for the rest of the game, until he/she finds an answer to break the loop.

However, Rise to Full Height is a dead draw and is not recommended to be played as it affects the consistency of the deck.
