Bestower of Countdown

Hey there! Have you wondered how to win without stalling as Final Countdown? Well, it's how you can do as Tethys.

Gameplan

1) Bring forth Tethys by replacing Capricious/Aces/Corobane and draw your whole deck...

• Whenever you draw a Fairy, reveal it to draw another card with Tethys. You can keep it going until you can't draw anymore.
• If you hit non-Fairy, you stop movement. So, continue with Ixchel and alike to trigger Tethys again. Note that "Extra-Foolish Burial" can also let you draw by sending Garura to GY, as long as you don't Set any Spell/Trap by accident.
• Always use "Arcana Force XV" in-hand to fetch what would be otherwise brick by Tethys, which is "Light Barrier".
• Know that card draw has to be caused by an effect, not as cost, in order to draw a card with Tethys. For example, using "Upstart Goblin", seen in Side Deck, won't do any help for Tethys but "Into the Void" will. Remember this rule well.

2) Place Rain and Lebellman onto Pendulum Zones and Pendulum Summon 2 x Carbon + 2 x Anything. Also, activate "Final Countdown" and "Light Barrier".

3) XYZ Summon Starring Knight with 2 x Carbon as materials. Then, use Starring to Special Summon The World and pick the outcome as heads thanks to "Light Barrier" to be able to skip your opponent's turn by sending two monsters you control to GY.

4) Link Summon Pitknight with Starring + Anything but World as materials. Here, Carbon asks you to shuffle itself on top of your Main Deck. Activate it to not deck-out for 20 turns straight.

5) Link Summon Princess with Pitknight + Anything but World as materials. There, revive Pitknight and end your turn. If you have done everything right, you should have two monsters to be delivered to GY and I'm not referring to World or Princess themselves. In 4:35 of the video, you can see what I mean.

6) With your opponent's turn skipped, Final Countdown has been advanced. When it's your time, Special Summon Pitknight with Princess and Normal Summon Carbon. Then, end your turn and don't forget to use World to skip your opponent's turn by sending Pitknight + Carbon to GY, which would trigger another Carbon to shuffle itself on top of your Main Deck.

7) Repeat what was explained in #6 until you win the duel!

If you wonder how to save up some SR and UR points, I can show you:

- "Into The Void" can be found either within "The Infinite Void" or "Life Force Control System" Secret Packs to save 90 SR!

- "Darklord Ixchel" can be found either within "The Opening Act of an Apocalypse" or "Deceitful Wings of Darkness" Secret Packs to save 90 SR!

- "Trickstar Corobane" can be found within "Essence of Flora and Ocean" Secret Pack to save 90 SR!

- "Sacred Sword of Seven Stars" can be found within "Celestial Dragon and Bear" Secret Pack to save 30 SR!

- "Final Countdown" can be found within "Legacy Pack" to save 30 UR!

- "World Soul - Carbon" can be found either within "Hope Sprouting in the Spring Breeze" or "The Ones Who Serve Ra" Secret Packs to save 60 SR!

- "Arcana Force XXI - The World" + "Light Barrier" can be found within "Hand of Fate" Secret Pack to save 30 SR and 30 UR!

So, in total, you can save up to 390 SR and 60 UR, if you are willing to spend some gems. Other SR and UR cards I didn't mention are essential.

That's all for this one. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Have fun in Master Duel!
