People have been abusing loops with Blue-Blooded Oni for a while, but a crafty gent down under that goes by the name of Jason Hutchinson has found a way to make them go forever, and while he’s at it, win the Duel! Here’s a FTK that is not only fun to play, but fun to watch as well.

Everyone likes a good FTK once in a while. They take a lot of cards not meant to work together and produce combos worthy of being called Art. This particular one attracted a ton of attention at the Australian Nationals and was so popular that even though he’d go into time every round, nobody was upset with him.

Let’s take a look at this FTK deck by first looking at the deck list below.

To demonstrate this deck, feel free to play along.

Lets just use an example opening hand, from a Duel I had with another Org Member, named Cheesedude.

I opened Black Garden, Armageddon Knight, Forbidden Lance, Raigeki, and Zombie Master.

The hardest part is setting it up. You can do this across multiple turns if necessary, but here is an FTK version using the hand I drew against Cheesedude.

The result is 1 Blue-Blooded Oni in Graveyard, 2 Lavalval chains with no materials, and two Blue-Blooded Oni’s on the field, one used. Armageddon knight and two summoner monks in our Graveyard.

Part 1 is only 11 steps with this hand, but it can vary, of course. We’re still missing two pieces of the puzzle to make this into an FTK though, it isn’t a sure thing yet.

My hand has 2 cards: Zombie Master and Forbidden Lance (they can be anything). The Graveyard has Zombie Master, Lavalval Chain, Diamond Dire Wolf, Number F0: Utopic Future, Blue-Blooded Oni, and hopefully a Summoner Monk.

This is known as ‘The Board’. We will be seeing this field a lot. It isn’t game yet though, we still have one more Monster to get. Our step total is 25.

Same board as before, but with a drawn card, and an Evilswarm Exciton Knight in the Graveyard. We can do this as many times as we have Rank 4s in our Extra Deck. This loop is finite and only used to add cards to the Graveyard, and draw cards. We’ve drawn twice and had our remaining opening card, so hopefully you have a monster by now. If you don’t, repeat the loop until you get one (or a way to Summon one, such as Instant Fusion). Once you have a monster, We do a variation on Loop 1:

12. Repeat step 1 but instead of Oni, Special Summon Zombie Master.
13. Discard your monster (in my case, Zombie Master) to Special Summon the third Blue-Blooded Oni.
14. Overlay the two used Blue-Blooded Oni for Lavalval Chain.
15. Activate the effect of Lavalval Chain to send Mezuki from your Deck to your Graveyard
16. Activate the effect of Blue-Blooded Oni on Lavalval Chain to Special Summon Blue-Blooded Oni from your Graveyard
17. Overlay Zombie Master and the used Blue-Blooded Oni for Daigusto Emeral.
18. Repeat step 5 through 11.

The card I drew from Daigusto Emeral was Terraforming and I used it to search for Black Garden.

With 18 more steps out of the way, we’re at a total of 43!

At this point, thanks to having Summoner Monk in the Graveyard, we have a ‘monster’ in the form of Black Garden. We can continue into Ouroboros next. If you don’t have a monster, or a way to get one; proceed to part 5.

Now your Graveyard has F0, Dire Wolf, Ouroboros, the third Oni, Exciton Knight, 2 Lavalval Chains, Mezuki, Zombie Master, and hopefully Summoner Monk, if you’ve been following along. It’s possible you have a few less generic Rank 4s like Exciton Knight and Lavalval Chain in the Graveyard at this point and that is okay. This is a repetition of loop 1, and still finite to our Rank 4 total. However this one trades a monster in hand (or way to Summon one such as Instant Fusion or Black Garden) for a card in the opponent’s hand.

13 more Steps, we’re at 56.

To make this loop truly infinite we need part 5.

From here, we can resolve Daigusto Emeral 3 times.

10. Overlay 2 Blue-Blooded Oni to Summon Emeral,
11. Activate the effect of Daigusto Emeral and return F0, Dire Wolf, and an Emeral. Draw 1 card. I drew Book of Eclipse.

We’re back at ‘The Board’. 26 steps added to our 56 so far is an 82 total. We have Zombie Master and Mezuki (and hopefully Summoner Monk) in our Graveyard, along with a third Blue-Blooded Oni, a Daigusto Emeral, an F0, and a Diamond Dire Wolf. We can do this loop again, but we’d have to put back an actual monster into our Deck. This loop recycled Ouroboros, while using and recycling Amaterasu and Mezuki. It draws 3 cards. We want to do loop 1 again to put Exciton Knight back into the Graveyard (and draw a card), and do part 5 again to draw 3 more, indefinitely. We can trade a monster in hand for one of their in-hand cards using Ouroboros instead of Exciton Knight any time we want. Let’s do the loop four more times, to get rid of Cheesedude’s entire hand.

Doing loop 1, I draw a card, and trade the Zephyros in my hand for a card in his, this time being Heraldic Beast Amphisbaena. I drew Armageddon Knight. I do Loop 2 to draw 3 more and get back to this point. I drew Armageddon Knight again, Plaguespreader Zombie, and Upstart Goblin.

Lets do the two loops again, this time Trading Plaguespreader from my hand, to make him discard Heraldic Beast Aberconway while I drew four cards – Upstart Goblin, Reinforcement of the Army, Dynatherium, and Instant Fusion.

13 cards left in Deck, so lets do it 2 more times. I’ll discard Dynatherium and Photon Thrasher, discard his last two cards, and draw 8.

I hit Heraldic Beast Leo, so he gets to add a card, darn. He added Heraldic Beast Basilisk, what a guy. I drew 2, this time Reinforcement of the Army, Terraforming, and Book of Eclipse.
Second time, I hit that Basilisk, and drew Foolish Burial, Black Garden, Forbidden Lance, and Instant Fusion.

Thanks to Leo, I’ll have to do it one more time, discarding Armageddon Knight.
I hit Rank-Up-Magic Limited Barian’s Force while drawing Upstart Goblin, Book of Eclipse, Instant Fusion, and Armageddon Knight. I have 1 card left in Deck so lets Upstart Goblin for it, why not. It’s a Terraforming.

I have 21 cards in hand, he has 9000 Life Points and no hand.

In my example, I have 19 cards in hand, so let’s get her to 20 counters. That’s 10,000 Damage! Good thing I didn’t play all 3 Upstart Goblins. However, even if I did, I played a few silly cards and hurt my hand size. We also could just not Deck ourselves out, and let him try to come back with his top Deck while we have 3 Lances set.

Able to memorize all of it? Most people can’t seem to figure this one out on their own, it’s a lot to remember! In my example, not playing Terraforming meant I could do 10,500 damage, so I’m inclined to think maybe Evilswarm Exciton Knight should be Gagaga Cowboy. Who knows, maybe there’s other changes you could make too. Let us know what you think!
