Breakdown of a duel: Pendulum Magician Vs Zoodiac Tri-Brigade

Submitted by Smoke2Jointz

This series is to highlight some of things I would have done if I was playing to fully utilize the cards in hand, if anyone feels there's better way to do it or if there's a reason why a certain play is done, do feel free to share in the comments section below! Let's help each other learn!

What could have been done better??
Turn 2:
- Opponent should not have bounce back scale, it doesn't do anything, could have save that for other cards
- When Pend summon, prioritize the important effect (Harmonizing or Pend Sor) as C1 to use the other as Chain block to prevent any negation. In this case I feel Harmonizing effect is more important this time thus should have went with C1 Harmonizing C2 Pend Sor.
- But then I'm not sure why the opponent didn't negate any of it, should have just negate everything since he has 3 negations
- Odd Eyes Vortex should have attempt to bounce back Ancient warrior instead, since opponent will definitely activate apollousa effect soon and you can negate it and destroy it while bouncing back ancient warrior, to make his field empty.
- Should have Synchro to Ignister with Luster Pendulum just in case you want to synchro again. As Luster Pendulum can only Synchro into a Ignister synch monster but nothing else, so you can't use it to synchro to other monsters if needed (Might not be that applicable in this case but something to take note)
- And Not sure why Opponent's Shuarig did not banish any card, else could have lasted to turn 2. (Found out its because Celestial has actuvated its effect thus Shuarig is unable to banish any card)

These might not be the best way but it's some ways I thought might better help utilize resources or improve the board. Do feel free to comment below if you identify better ways or some of my comments don't make sense!

hi denki here to share my thought proccess.1 i do really want to resolve pend sorc over the harmo in this scenario cuz vortex can bait 2 interactions ( dragon lord and apollousa) my plan was my opp negate harmo efect with apo so she goes to 16k then make vortex play target lord to bounce to force apollousa again and chain vortex to negate apo to get rid of 2 disruptions with only vortex but my opp missplays on dragon lord. 2 my main goal was keep 2 tunners on field to countering revolt + follow up since apo + dragon L. is pretty easy to out so i make ignister first to see if my opp is smart enought to catch what im going to do since he didnt activate nothing on ignister summon i have priority to activate one efect first so here is when celstial use azathot effect shut down all his monster efect since i control a sync monster there is why i want 2 tunners on board just in case so he cant activate shuraig and his GY efects cuz those efect are activate in a new chain. and the rest is simple, spam EX deck to OTK. definelly i could make better plays. i never summon electrum if revolt is live. harmo isnt importan to me as pend sorc since he give me a negate + tuner + 1 SS in my combos. sorry about my english.

it's weird that he didn't use pendulum call in his deck... his starting hand was very good in my opinion but in my case i would use duelist alliance to add pendululm call them discard wisdom eye to add double iris and harmo so that we can have harmo without using star pendulumgraph's effect
