"Yeah, I kind of figured out how small of a margin for error I had the hard way," Brent chuckled. "Although, to cut her a break, 'Reeze' did bring her the victory and she said she just got the Deck yesterday."

After some thought, Brent spoke up again. "I may have figured out another strategy, but I don't think I have both of the cards, and there's never a guarantee it would work, but a good Defense-negation strategy would be to use 'Light of Intervention' combined with 'Final Attack Orders', but then, it might just be easier to play some Special Summon-negation cards, instead," Brent considered. He liked coming up with hypothetical situations in Duels. The challenge was always fun. Maybe if he got some free time before his rematch, he would run some simulation Duels on his computer at home. That would give him the ability to study "Gusto" strategy in-depth.

"So do you think Professor Marco's completely sane giving us that essay? I mean, 3,000 words on the strengths and weaknesses of Fusion Summoning when compared to other forms of Summoning? I think he's gone a bit loopy since the incident last year. Y'know, the whole 'Soul Prison' card ordeal?"
