Emiko Hatsuyo

## **General Info**

Emiko Hatsuyo is a female Black Void Plant Duelist with what is possibly the most powerful deck ever to be in that server. However, her feats are not quite shown due to her own socially awkward personality and traits that makes her not duel very often. However, one can say for sure that when she manages to go out, it will almost become impossible to win.

## **Personality**

Emiko is a shy, klutz person that relies on her own deck to solve the issues. In fact, she was never suited to any kinds of dramas and choices that she’d rather resolve in a duel, “Let the card do the talking”. She is exceptionally good at dueling, so sometimes it just ends up being good for her.

## **Backstory**

As a child, she always remembered that there was a garden in her family’s backyard. It was something that her mother has been taking care of, and is her own pride. As a daughter, she can’t help but wondered why such a person is attentively caring for a garden, her mother would always reply,

“Plants need caring because they have a life, like us.”

Being a klutz girl, she didn’t understand what her mother was saying, but in her mind, if it’s a good thing, then it’s a good thing regardless. In that case, she started to also tend to the garden with her mother. As Emiko continued to tend to it, she started to learn a lot of things about those variants of plants there, and she started to enjoy it. While she didn’t understand what her mother said, Emiko found it very fun to do so.

But things never go as planned.

Being a city girl, she unfortunately has to see all kinds of bad things in Japan, with all the people who greedily demand money. Thus, citizens were forced to obey, or they will have to face the power of such gangs in a duel to keep up, since if they lose, the gangs can just barge in like it’s none of their business, destroy your home, and destroy everything that is in their path… Her family was unable to pay, lost, and they acted on it, destroying everything right, left, up, and down. Then, the garden. They absolutely swatted, spitted, and ruined everything beautiful about this garden.

## **Deck**

Emiko plays a very unique take on her build - Plants. This deck did not use overly archetypal specific to unify their strategy. Instead, it was Plants Good Stuffs, or cards that supports Plant Type in general, and with the powerful combination of generics and some archetypal engines, leading this deck into a massive powerful force of nature. How her deck works exactly is that she has multiple gears working in coordination to others. She has 9 starters, which all makes two bodies at the cost of a Normal Summon, 12 extenders that can play through an interruption or two, allowing you to always end on a board that will at least interrupt your opponent, and 3 Power Links that will give her massive advantage if resolved.

The 9 starters are 3 copies of *Lonefire Blossom*, *Evil Thorn*, *Predaplant Orphys Scorpio*. The 12 extenders are 3 copies of *Rose Princess*, *Rose Lover*, 3 *Aromage Laurel*, and 3 *Therions' "Lily" Borea*. Finally, the 3 Power Links, which composed of *Aromaseraphy Jasmine*, *Pione, the Sylvan Dancer*, and *Crystron Halqifibrax*.

Also, *Therions' "Lily" Borea* is a very powerful extender that provides an omni negation later on so she plays more consistency in order to play through interruptions, and it is a big body at 2400 ATK. In fact, it might be one of the most critical point of her deck's creation.

Although her Extra Deck is not very Plant-oriented, she still have some Plant monsters that serves as an End Board monster, so that way, her deck doesn't end up being nonsensical. For the most part, the Extra Deck are all utilities in terms of interruptions.
