While Xie Mingzhe was showing off his deck, the Fenghua team also publicly revealed the 16 cards they would use for the game.
Fenghua brought three control cards to this game, including the group chaos of "White Poppy", the group hallucination of "Epiphyllum" and the group sleep/freeze dual control of the succulent plant "Snow Lotus". The output cards are group attack cards such as "Four Seasons Begonia", "Desert Rose", "Millennium Sacred Tree" and Shen An's large number of group attack fruit trees. The single attack is mainly based on Zhen Man's snake card and Tang Muzhou's single attack flower card.
This deck is somewhat different from the decks used in previous matches against other teams. None of Xu Changfeng's cooldown and floating cards appeared, but Tang Muzhou's plant cards appeared more than 8 cards.
Obviously, Xu Changfeng will assist Tang Muzhou in controlling the game using plant cards.
Fenghua's strategy is very obvious. A deck with multiple group controls and group attacks can quickly destroy Nirvana's cards, and then use the flexibility of Zhenman Snake card to grab Nirvana's core card and kill it instantly the moment the magic mirror appears, thus establishing an advantage in card difference.
As for the four hidden cards, Xie Mingzhe couldn't guess his brother's thinking and could only respond according to circumstances.
The first game started soon.
Both sides started the game with a focus on testing, so there were not a lot of summoning cards.
On Fenghua's side, Shen An first summoned various fruit trees, and various pineapples and apples fell from the sky, causing heavy damage to Nirvana's cards. Qin Xuan immediately used his healing skills to respond. At the same time, Yu Ke released the joker to launch a tentative attack, which was blocked by Fenghua's defensive skills.
The first minute was relatively peaceful, until the moment the magic mirror appeared.
Xie Mingzhe has been staring at the timer on the field. Since his senior brother has chosen the "Magic Mirror Forest" map, the moment the magic mirror appears one minute into the game will most likely become the rhythm point for Fenghua to launch a large-scale attack.
His guess turned out to be correct. Fenghua started to spread out on a large scale almost at the moment the magic mirror appeared!
The field-laying play has appeared many times in previous games. The commander will seize an opportunity to summon a large number of cards in just a few seconds, doubling the number of cards on his side to crush the opponent, thus forming a "more against less" situation, and quickly clearing the number of cards on the opponent's field to establish a huge card advantage.
Generally speaking, the number of cards in the command deck is usually controlled at around 10.
But at this moment, Tang Muzhou did something that shocked all the professional players:
He actually summoned all the cards!
At this moment, the number of cards that Team Fenghua has reached the full 20!
This is not just a field-laying strategy, but also a "pool-bursting" strategy that has not appeared for a long time.
Summoning all 20 cards in an instant would put tremendous pressure on the opponent, and the visual effect would be particularly shocking. Moreover, the magic mirror was present at this time. The consequence of the simultaneous existence of real cards and phantoms was that in Xie Mingzhe's eyes, there were 40 magnificent cards.
His eyes are blurry!
The two commentators looked at each other in bewilderment. Wu Yue said in disbelief, "Instantly summoning all the cards, this kind of teamfight explosion has not appeared in a long time!"
Liu Chen said: "This style of play looks very impressive, but it actually has a lot of drawbacks. Controlling so many cards at the same time can easily lead to a lack of focus, and there is a high probability that there will be errors in the coordination between teammates, leading to chaos. Moreover, once the opponent causes group chaos, it will be completely over."
Wu Yue echoed, "In Nirvana's deck today, Jia Xu's 'Civil and Chaotic' can cause group chaos, and auxiliary cards such as Xun Yu also have large-scale group control skills. It is indeed risky for Tang Muzhou to play like this."
Chen Qianlin, who was watching the game backstage, didn't think so.
He knew Tang Muzhou very well. This disciple could remain calm no matter what the circumstances. Since he dared to use such a risky fighting style today, he must have some special tactical plans.
Chen Qianlin quickly found the key to Fenghua's tactics, which was the newly revealed hidden card -
The card "Plant Expert" is a rare character card.
In her hands she holds a watering can and a shovel for loosening the soil. Skill 1 "Greening the environment is everyone's responsibility" encourages everyone to take care of flowers and plants. She can make all plant cards within 30 meters immune to any control/instant death effects for 5 seconds; Skill 2 "Watering and Fertilizing" means that plants need careful care. The plant expert can water and fertilize all plant cards within 30 meters, increasing the plant cards' attack power and critical damage by 50% and their defense by 50% for 5 seconds.
The masters in the background were shocked when they saw the two skills released by the plant expert in succession. Pei Jingshan frowned and said, "If it wasn't for the card that Tang Muzhou took out, I would have thought that Xie Mingzhe had done this skill description for the plant expert..."
Ye Zhu nodded in agreement: "Greening the environment is everyone's responsibility. This really sounds like Xie Mingzhe's style!"
Zheng Feng turned around and looked at Chen Qianlin: "You have taught two good disciples."
Chen Qianlin: “…………”
Chen Qianlin pretended not to hear anything with an expressionless face.
Xie Mingzhe was already dazzled by the 40 real and virtual card illusions. Although he discovered the hidden card of the character summoned by Fenghua, the situation on the field changed rapidly. He had no time to analyze the purpose of the new card brought by his senior brother before he saw a large wave of fruits hitting him like cannonballs!
Fenghua launched an attack and Xie Mingzhe had to defend immediately.
Guo Jia, prophet, overall dodge increased!
The power of the Prophet skill lies in that as long as the opponent has "non-directional skills", that is, most group attack skills can be avoided by dodging. However, directional skills, such as straight attack, lock attack, and designated target single attack are not protected by Guo Jia's Prophet.
Fortunately, most of Shen An's fruit tree attacks are group attacks, and Nirvana's overall card dodge is improved, which can dodge 80%.
At this moment, Tang Muzhou used the skill of another card - Gardener, Plant Grafting.
The Gardener is also a character card. Because he loves gardening and has developed special plant cultivation principles, he can designate any two of our attacking plant cards for cross-species grafting, allowing the attack skills of the two cards to quickly merge.
This card uses the principle of plant grafting, and the design of "skill fusion" also appears for the first time.
Professional players were confused when they saw this description, until they saw the actual effect -
The power of this design lies in that once the single attack card and the group attack card are combined, the area skill of the group attack card will become an unavoidable lock attack, and the targeted skill of the single attack card will also come with a large-scale group attack splash damage!
Tang Muzhou chose to fuse the group attack card "Millennium Sacred Tree" and the single attack card "Wisteria Flower".
I saw purple flowers blooming on the vines of the thousand-year-old sacred tree, sweeping towards Nirvana's card like tentacles! At the same time, the single attack of the wisteria flower suddenly splashed around, and the petals bloomed everywhere. The waving purple petals dragged the vine tails given by the sacred tree, like a large number of purple umbrellas, smashing towards Nirvana!
The group attacks of Begonia and Desert Rose followed closely behind, and Shen An's fruit trees continued to smash everywhere to disrupt the line of sight. Xu Changfeng quickly cooperated to control the situation and forced open the group freeze of "Snow Lotus" -
Xie Mingzhe saw the most shocking scene since he participated in the competition.
Under the effect of the magic mirror, all the attack skills he saw were double images. Countless vines, flowers, fruits, dense phantoms and real scenes rushed towards him at the same time. It was simply a disaster movie in the plant world.
The audience was also extremely shocked. The visual effect of Tang Muzhou's pool-exploding style of play was really terrifying - all the plants attacked at the same time, and it was like seeing a spectacular scene of an interstellar war in a science fiction movie.
Xie Mingzhe was dazzled by the simultaneous attack of 40 plant cards in his field of vision, and he didn't know how to react for a while.
The result was that Fenghua's large-scale group attack instantly destroyed Nirvana's cards on the field.
Immediately afterwards, Zhen Man released the snake cards. The flexible snakes moved quickly in an S shape and cleared the field quickly. Five Nirvana bloody cards were killed instantly, including the core cards Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Xun You.
Because Fenghua had the card that killed Nirvana, he was able to disarm the magic mirror first and see Nirvana's actions clearly.
At this time, Nirvana still saw the illusion of the magic mirror, while Fenghua could see everything clearly, which made things worse for Nirvana. When Nirvana finally killed Fenghua's card and removed the magic mirror, the card count had become 19:11.
The difference is 8 cards, and it is Fenghua’s home map, it is too difficult to catch up.
***
In the first game, Nirvana lost without a doubt, and the great players watching the game in the backstage were also quite shocked - let alone Xie Mingzhe, even if it was experienced commanders like Nie Yuandao and Zheng Feng, they would also feel dizzy when suddenly encountering a reverse mirror map like "Mirror Forest".
What's more, Tang Muzhou specially created a "VIP Luxury Surprise Gift Pack" for his junior fellow student. Not only is the new map particularly difficult to play, but he also directly used a rare "pool explosion method" - 20 cards were summoned at the same time, 40 real and virtual illusions, which dazzled the opponent while defeating the opponent at an extremely fast speed, causing Nirvana to fall into an increasingly difficult situation from a small group annihilation.
Commentator Wu Yue was stunned for a long time before she exclaimed, "The standard of today's regular season finale was too high. Tang Shen has put together a tactical plan that can be used in the finals! This is the first time that super-powerful auxiliary cards such as Plant Expert and Gardener have appeared this season!"
Liu Chen said: "Nirvana was beaten badly in the first game, but Xie Mingzhe cannot be blamed. Which commander can immediately react and deal with such a complex map? I think even seniors such as Nie Shen, Lao Zheng, and Ling Shen would not dare to guarantee that they can win against Fenghua in Mirror Forest. The new map will indeed give them a huge home advantage."
Wu Yue said: "I wonder if Feng Hua will continue to use this map in the second game. If so, can Xie Mingzhe think of a solution?"
It is common to be defeated at home by a new map. The key lies in whether you can think of a solution.
Fenghua had already brought out many maps in this regular season. Leaving such a complex map to Nirvana was already a big deal for Nirvana. Based on Xie Mingzhe's understanding of his senior, he would not have reserved two maps for the last game against Nirvana. That would have been too much of a disrespect for other teams. Therefore, the probability of "Mirror Forest" appearing in the second game was over 80%, the probability of other maps that had already been used appearing was 20%, and the probability of a completely new map appearing was almost zero.
If there is another game of Mirror Forest, how should we solve it?
Xie Mingzhe quickly calmed down and thought carefully about how to play this new map.
He also carefully analyzed the skills of the hidden cards that his senior brother just played after the game. Plant Expert can ensure that plant cards are immune to control, and can also increase group attack and defense, making it a very strong buff auxiliary card; the fusion of the gardener's plant grafting skills can double the combat power of two output cards; in addition, there is the gain status transfer of Grafting, which is also very difficult to deal with.
Not only is the deck difficult to beat, the map is even more difficult!
The most terrifying thing about the Mirror Forest is that the moment the mirror appears, the opponent suddenly summons a large number of cards, completely disrupting your vision and causing your previous memories to become distorted.
For example, in the first game, Tang Muzhou's pool suddenly exploded the moment the magic mirror appeared, and he summoned 20 cards in one breath, creating 40 real and virtual illusions in front of Xie Mingzhe. No matter how smart a person is, it would be impossible to immediately distinguish between real cards and phantoms when seeing so many cards suddenly appear. However, Tang Muzhou was very familiar with this map and of course knew where Nirvana's real cards were, so he was able to command Zhen Man to quickly kill Nirvana's low-blood cards, establish an advantage, and form a snowball effect.
When playing this game, the key is to quickly kill one of your opponent's cards and remove the magic mirror effect.
The key to instantly defeating your opponent's card is to confirm the location of the real card as quickly as possible without being affected by the virtual image in the mirror.
Xie Mingzhe discovered a little trick through the first game:
Looking at the other side through the magic mirror will indeed make people's vision distorted. However, your own cards are immobile! So why not use your own cards as a reference?
For example, Guo Jia's position was aimed at the gorgeous wisteria flowers. Keeping this in mind, after the magic mirror appeared, even if dozens of virtual and real phantoms suddenly appeared in his field of vision, Guo Jia was still aiming at the gorgeous wisteria flowers.
Selecting a reference object is something my teacher often mentioned when I was studying physics.
On the highway, cars traveling at the same speed may seem motionless to the other car, but if the reference object becomes a tree on the roadside, you will know how far you have traveled. In the mirror map of the Magic Mirror Forest, choosing the right reference object is also crucial. You are not affected by the mirror, but use the reference object to remember the position of the other card. Only in this way, when the mirror appears, your thinking will not be confused.
In the first game, he was stunned by his senior's pool explosion and didn't expect this. But after calming down and thinking carefully, he realized that this map was not without a solution, but it was just more risky.
Xie Mingzhe took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and called his teammates together, saying, "Although our wood deck is very powerful, the magic forest map we encountered today is too difficult to play. I want to try the special play method I mentioned before. I wonder if everyone is willing to take the risk?"
Chen Xiao patted his shoulder cheerfully: "Why are you being so polite to us? This match does not affect our qualification, so winning or losing does not matter. Since you are the commander, no matter what lineup you want, everyone will cooperate with you!"
Yu Ke said excitedly: "Tell me, what is this strange formation?"
Xie Mingzhe took a deep breath and said with a smile, "The lineup of all the character cards."
Everyone: “…”
The full character lineup was actually practiced when Nirvana first completed the card pool. At that time, in order to let everyone get familiar with the team's deck as soon as possible, Chen Qianlin shuffled all the cards and asked the four people to practice one by one every day, remembering the skills and usage techniques of each card. Therefore, Yu Ke, Chen Xiao and Qin Xuan are actually very familiar with Xie Mingzhe's character cards and can control them.
In the last match, Qin Xuan had controlled Zhuge Liang and Xie Mingzhe to cooperate well. However, the entire lineup had never been used in a formal match.
Today, in the last match of the regular season, on the super complex map of "Mirror Forest", Tang Muzhou used the pool-exploding strategy to defeat Nirvana in one wave, so Xie Mingzhe decided to give it a try.
So what if he took a risk? He just wanted to let his senior know that he was a man who never gave up.
