Seeker vs. Jaden (1)

Previously...

“There you are,” said Jaden. It’s time to duel me again for my Shining Flare Wingman back, so get your game on!

“I already have your rarest card,” said Seeker. Therefore, dueling you again means nothing to me.

“That’s not gonna keep me from gettin’ ya to duel me again,” said Jaden.

“Fine I accept,” said Seeker. You need to be taught a lesson about Exodia!

“I’ll get things going with Elemental Hero Bubbleman (800) in Attack Mode,” said Jaden. Next, thanks to his super power, I get to draw 2 cards since he’s the only card out on my side of the field. Then, I play Polymerization, tributing Bubbleman on my field as well as Avian and Sparkman in my hand to summon Elemental Hero Tempest (2800) in Attack Mode. That’ll end my turn. (4)

”I set 1 Monster in Defense Mode,” said Seeker. Then, I activate Pot of Greed, letting me draw 2 cards. Exodia’s Right Arm and Exodia’s Head, perfect. Only 3 more pieces left! That ends my turn. (6)

“I summon Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (1200) in Attack Mode!” said Jaden. Burstinatrix, destroy his face down card! The face down “Skelengel” (400) is destroyed.

“You’ve just triggered my Monster’s special ability,” said Seeker. Now I draw 1 card.

“Elemental Hero Tempest, attack his LPs directly!” said Jaden. Seeker’s LPs drop to 5200. I throw down 2 face downs and end my turn. (3)

“I use Shallow Grave,” said Seeker. This allows both of us to select 1 Monster in our Graveyards and set it in Defense Mode. Next, I Flip-Summon my, Skelengel to draw another card from my deck. Finally, I tribute my Monster to summon Total Defense Shogun (2500) in Defense Mode. Shogun, attack his Burstinatrix!

“What, how can your Monster attack while it’s in Defense Mode?” asked Jaden.

“That’s my Monster’s special ability,” said Seeker. His ATK is applied for damage. Shogun, destroy his Burstinatrix! Burstinatrix is destroyed and Jaden’s LPs drop to 7650.

“Ya just activated my Trap Card, Hero Signal!” said Jaden. Since 1 of my Monsters were destroyed in battle, I get to summon a level 4 or less Monster that has Elemental Hero in its name from my hand or deck and I choose Elemental Hero Clayman (2000) in Defense Mode!

“Fine,” said Seeker. I end my turn. (6)

“I summon Elemental Hero Avian (1000) in Attack Mode,” said Jaden. Then, I play Fusion Recovery, allowing me to return Polymerization and a Fusion Material Monster used for Fusion Summon back to my hand from my Graveyard. Next, I play the Spell Card Monster Reborn. It allows me to return a Monster from my Graveyard to my side of the field and I choose Burstinatrix! Then, I tribute Avian and Burstinatrix, using Polymerization, to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (2100) in Attack Mode! Finally, I play

Mirage of Nightmare! This lets me draw until I my hand contains 4 cards during your Standby Phase but in return, I have to discard the same number of cards that I drew to the Graveyard. That ends my turn. (1)

“My move now,” said Seeker.

“Now the effect of Mirage of Nightmare activates,” said Jaden. I draw 3 cards, but I also activate Emergency Provisions! Thanks to this card, for each Spell or Trap Card I send to the Graveyard, I gain 1000 LPs. I send Mirage of Nightmare to the Graveyard!

Dimitri’s Yugi Deck (3)

Previously...

“I tribute my remaining Magnet Warriors for Dark Magician (2500) in Attack Mode,” said Dimitri. Next, I play

Dedication through Light and Darkness. This card lets me tribute my Dark Magician to Special Summon Dark Magician of Chaos from my hand, deck or Graveyard. I tribute my Dark Magician for Dark Magician of Chaos (2800) in Attack Mode!

“Impressive, but my Dark Paladin still has more ATK points than him,” said Yami.

“Since I Special Summoned my Monster, I get 1 Spell Card from my Graveyard back to my hand and the one I choose is the key to my victory! I choose Premature Burial! Next, I end my turn. (1)

“Dark Paladin, destroy his Monster!” said Yami. Dark Magician of Chaos disappears from the field and Dimitri’s LPs drop to 6900. When your Monster is destroyed, it is removed from play. That ends my turn. (1)

“I use Premature Burial to revive Dark Magician in Attack Mode,” said Dimitri. Dimitri’s LPs drop to 6100. Then, I activate

Thousand Knives, allowing me to destroy 1 Monster on the field since I control a Dark Magician on my side of the field. Dark Paladin is destroyed!

“Don’t count on that,” said Yami smiling.

“What do you mean?” asked Dimitri.

“By discarding 1 card from my hand, I can negate your Spell Card,” said Yami. Thousand Knives is negated.

“I end my turn,” said Dimitri. (0)

“I activate Pot of Greed to draw twice,” said Yami. Next, I tribute Dark Magician for Summoned Skull (2500) in Attack Mode.

“You tributed your favorite card for a Monster with equal ATK strength?” asked Dimitri. That was a foolish move!

“Was it?” asked Yami. Next, Summoned Skull, attack his LPs directly! Dimitri’s LPs drop to 3600. Dark Paladin, direct attack! Dimitri’s LPs drop to 600. That ends my turn. (0)

“It’s my turn now,” said Dimitri. Obnoxious Celtic Guard will do. I summon Obnoxious Celtic Guard (1200) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

“I summon Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts (1500) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Gazelle, destroy his Celtic Guard! Celtic Guard is destroyed. Now you’re wide open, so, Dark Paladin, wipe out the rest of his LPs! Dimitri’s LPs drop to 0. Elsewhere in Battle City...

“Alright, now that it’s finally morning, it’s time I take that Hunter down!” said Jaden.

“Wait up, Jaden!” said Syrus.

“Please don’t tell me we’re running again!” said Chumley. An hour later...

“There you are,” said Jaden. It’s time to duel me again for my Shining Flare Wingman back, so get your game on!

“I already have your rarest card,” said Seeker. Therefore, dueling you again means nothing to me.

“That’s not gonna keep me from gettin’ ya to duel me again,” said Jaden.

“Fine I accept,” said Seeker. You need to be taught a lesson about Exodia!

To be continued...

Dimitri’s Yugi Deck (2)

Previously...

“I summon Queen’s Knight (1500) in Attack Mode,” said Yami.

“I activate Trap Hole!” said Dimitri. Your Monster is destroyed since it has over 1000 ATK points!

“That may be but first the effect of King’s Knight activates,” said Yami. Since he and Queen’s Knight are both in play, I get to summon this Monster. Say hello to Jack’s Knight (1900) in Attack Mode! Queen’s Knight is now destroyed by Trap Hole’s effect. Jack’s Knight, destroy his Beta the Magnet Warrior!

“Sorry, but you’ve activated another one of my traps,” said Dimitri. It’s over! Behold, Magic Cylinder! You now take damage equal to your Monster’s ATK strength!

“I don’t think so,” said Yami. I activate Seven Tools of the Bandit! It may cost me 1000 LPs but that’s a price I’m willing to pay. Yami’s LPs drop to 7000 and Magic Cylinder is destroyed. Jack’s Knight, attack! Your Magnet Warrior Beta is destroyed! Beta is destroyed and Dimitri’s LPs drop to 7800. That ends my turn. (4)

“I play Premature Burial, and I use it to revive Beta the Magnet Warrior in Attack Mode,” said Dimitri. It’ll cost me 800 LPs, but it’s worth it. Dimitri’s LPs drop to 7000. Next, I summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior (1400) in Attack Mode. Now, I tribute my Warriors for the ultimate Monster, Valkyrion, the Magna Warrior (3500) in Attack Mode! Premature Burial is destroyed by its effect. Valkyrion, destroy his Jack’s Knight! Jack’s Knight is destroyed but Yami’s LPs remain unchanged. Your LPs should have dropped! Why didn’t they?

“Because I discarded Kuriboh,” said Yami. Thanks to his effect, I don’t take any damage this turn.

“Maybe not now, but next turn you will,” said Dimitri. I end my turn. (0)

“I activate Fusion Sage,” said Yami. This card lets me add Polymerization from my deck to my hand. Next, I activate Polymerization, tributing my Dark Magician and Buster Blader to summon Dark Paladin (2900) in Attack Mode! For each Monster on the field AND in either player’s Graveyards, he gains 500 ATK points!

“That’s too bad because you don’t have any in your Graveyard,” said Dimitri.

“That doesn’t matter because I have 1 final card,” said Yami. I activate Tribute to the Doomed! By discarding 1 card, I get to destroy 1 Monster on your side of the field. Valkyrion the Magna Warrior, be gone!

“I activate Valkyrion’s special ability,” said Dimitri. By tributing him, I get to Special Summon the 3 Magnet Warriors in my Graveyard back to my side of the field. So, I tribute Valkyrion to Special Summon Alpha, Beta and Gamma the Magnet Warriors in Defense Mode.

“Very well, then by Tribute to the Doomed’s effect, I destroy Gamma the Magnet Warrior!” said Yami. Gamma is destroyed. Dark Paladin, destroy Beta! Beta the Magnet Warrior is destroyed. That ends my turn. (0)

“I tribute my remaining Magnet Warriors for Dark Magician (2500) in Attack Mode,” said Dimitri. Next, I play

“Impressive, but my Dark Paladin still has more ATK points than him,” said Yami.

“Since I Special Summoned my Monster, I get 1 Spell Card from my Graveyard back to my hand and the one I choose is the key to my victory!

To be continued...

Dimitri’s Yugi Deck (1)

Previously...

“Thanks to Sangan’s effect, any Monster I choose with 1500 ATK points or less is added to my hand and I choose this one!” said Seeker. Now this duel is automatically over thanks to my Exodia cards.

“Exodia cards?” asked Jaden.

“These are the only cards that require them to be in your hand to win the duel,” said Seeker. I hold the following Exodia cards: Exodia’s Right Arm, Exodia’s Right Leg, Exodia’s Head, Exodia’s Right Arm and Right Leg, therefore, you lose! (Note: The names stated above are what I’ll use instead of their real names since they’re so long and if the card’s name is stated like how Seeker did, the card(s) set identification will not be shown.) Jaden’s LPs drop to 0 since it was an instant win.

“Jaden!” said Syrus.

“No, he lost!” said Chumley. He lost the duel AND his best card!

“Next time we meet, I’m gonna beatcha!” said Jaden. Elsewhere in Battle City...

“Now that I have an exact copy of the King of Games’ Deck, I am now the king!” said Dimitri. (Note: Dimitri is one of the later characters on the show who copies a duelist’s deck.) Yugi and the gang are discussing Duel Academy when a strange figure appears.

“Who are you?” asked Yugi. Show yourself!

“I’m the King of Games,” said Dimitri.

“What are you talking about?” asked Yugi. Yami’s the King of Games.

“Is that so?” asked Dimitri. Prove it by defeating me in a duel!

“Very well, then let’s duel!” said Yugi. Yugi activates the Millennium Puzzle and transforms into Yami.

“I’ll begin with Gamma the Magnet Warrior (1800) in Defense Mode,” said Dimitri. Then, I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (4)

“Alright,” said Yami. I play King’s Knight (1600) in Attack Mode. Then, I activate Axe of Despair, giving him 1000 ATK points! King’s Knight’s ATK rises to 2600. King’s Knight, destroy his Monster!

“Not so fast,” said Dimitri. I activate Mirror Force! Now, every Monster you control in Attack Mode is destroyed. King’s Knight and Axe of Despair are destroyed.

“I play Monster Reborn to revive King’s Knight in Attack Mode and end my turn,” said Yami. (4)

“I summon Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700) in Attack Mode,” said Dimitri. Then, I play Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards. Next, I set 2 cards face down. Beta, destroy King’s Knight!

“I activate Spellbinding Circle!” said Yami. Your Monster cannot attack.

“You’re just stalling for time,” said Dimitri. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (1)

“I summon Queen’s Knight (1500) in Attack Mode,” said Yami.

“I activate Trap Hole!” said Dimitri. Your Monster is destroyed since it has over 1000 ATK points!

To be continued...

Elemental Heroes vs. Exodia the Forbidden One (3)

Previously...

“My move,” said Jaden. What’s with this guy? He just keeps defending. Well, that’s NOT the way to win a duel! Since Dark Catapulter has been on the field for a turn, he gets a counter. For every card in my Graveyard that I remove, I get to destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card on the field and all counters on my Monster are removed afterwards. I remove my Warrior Returning Alive from play to destroy Level Limit Area-B! Level Limit Area-B is destroyed. Next, I switch Elemental Hero Flame Wingman and Tempest to Attack Mode. Tempest’s DEF returns to 2800 and Flame Wingman’s DEF returns to 1200. That ends my turn. (1)

“You’ll have to do better than that to defeat me,” said Seeker drawing his card. Magician of Faith will do. I set 1 Monster in Defense Mode and end my turn. (6) Soon, I will defeat you with the ultimate Monster!

“I activate Dark Catapulter’s special effect again by removing Pot of Greed from play to destroy Gravity Bind!” said Jaden. Gravity Bind is destroyed. Next, I activate Monster Reborn to revive Sparkman from my Graveyard in Attack Mode. Next, I activate Polymerization to send my Elemental Hero Sparkman and Elemental Hero Flame Wingman to my Graveyard to summon Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman (2500) in Attack Mode! He gains an additional 300 ATK points for each Monster I have with Elemental Hero in its name in my Graveyard. I have 5, thus, giving my monster 1500 ATK points! Shining Flare Wingman’s ATK rises to 4000. Better yet, when he destroys a Monster in battle, that Monster’ s ATK comes out of that player’s LPs. Shining Flare Wingman destroy his Total Defense Shogun! Shogun is destroyed and Seeker’s LPs drop to 6150. That ends my turn. (1)

“I summon Sangan (1400) in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Seeker. (6)

“Alright, Shining Flare Wingman, destroy his Labyrinth Wall!” said Jaden. Labyrinth Wall is destroyed and Seeker’s LPs drop to 5850. Tempest, destroy his Sangan! Sangan is destroyed. Seeker laughs. What are you laughing about?

“Exodia cards?” asked Jaden.

“Jaden!” said Syrus.

“No, he lost!” said Chumley. He lost the duel AND his best card!

“Next time we meet, I’m gonna beatcha!” said Jaden. Elsewhere in Battle City...

“Who are you?” asked Yugi. Show yourself!

“I’m the King of Games,” said Dimitri.

“What are you talking about?” asked Yugi. Yami’s the King of Games.

“Is that so?” asked Dimitri. Prove it by defeating me in a duel!

To be continued...

Elemental Heroes vs. Exodia the Forbidden One (2)

Previously...

“I tribute Gear Golem for Total Defense Shogun [3000] in Defense Mode,” said Seeker. Then, when Shogun is summoned, he usually switches to Defense Mode, but instead he switches to Attack Mode since he was summoned in Defense Mode by another card effect. Shogun’s DEF returns to 2500. That ends my turn. (3)

“I summon Elemental Hero Burstinatrix [1300] in Defense Mode,” said Jaden. That ends my turn. (0)

“I summon Stone Statue of the Aztecs [2500] in Defense Mode,” said Seeker. That ends my turn. (3)

“I play The Warrior Returning Alive,” said Jaden. It allows me to return a Warrior-Type Monster from my Graveyard to my hand and I choose Avian! Next, I tribute Avian in my hand and Burstinatrix on the field for Elemental Hero Flame Wingman [1700] in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

“It’s hopeless,” said Seeker drawing his card. Left Leg of the Forbidden One! One more for instant victory! I end my turn. (4)

“I play Mirage of Nightmare!” said Jaden. During your Standby Phase I draw until

my hand contains 4 cards, but during my own stand-by Phase, I discard the same number of cards I drew to the Graveyard.
”Then I get to draw 8 cards by Appropriate’s effect,” said Seeker. What’s this? How is it possible that I DIDN’T draw the final piece of Exodia?

“That ends my turn,” said Jaden. (0)

“My move,” said Seeker.

“Now I draw 4 cards since I’m fresh out,” said Jaden.

“I tribute Stone Statue of the Aztecs for Labyrinth Wall [3800] in Defense Mode,” said Seeker. Next, I activate Yellow Luster Shield, boosting the ATK and DEF of all Monsters on my side of the field by 300. Labyrinth Wall’s stats rise to (300/3800) and Total Defense Shogun’s stats rise to (1850/3300). Finally, I end my turn by discarding 1 card since I have over 6 cards in my hand. (6)

“I discard my hand by Mirage’s effect,” said Jaden. That ends my turn. (0)

“I summon Giant Soldier of Stone [2800] in Defense Mode,” said Seeker. That ends my turn. (6)

“Alright, it’s my move,” said Jaden. I summon Dark Catapulter [2000] in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

“My draw,” said Seeker. Still no Right Leg, how can that be? It must be at the bottom of my deck. I summon Mystical Elf [2800] in Defense Mode and end my turn. (6)

To be continued...

Elemental Heroes vs. Exodia the Forbidden One (1)

Previously...

“Who are you?” asked Jaden.

“Someone who wants to duel you,” said Seeker. (Note: Seeker is the Rare Hunter’s Japanese name and since I only use part of their name I will use Seeker as the Rare Hunter’s name seeing as how neither Rare nor Hunter seems good to use for his name.)

“Alright then get your game on!” said Jaden.

“I’ll start,” said Seeker. I activate Level Limit Area-B, switching all summoned Monsters to Defense Position. (Note: Cards from AST (Ancient Sanctuary) are written like Level Limit Area-B.) Then, I activate Chorus of Sanctuary, boosting the DEF of all Monsters in Defense Mode by 500 (and I will indicate that). Then, I summon Big Shield Gardna (3100) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (3)

“To begin, I’m gonna summon Elemental Hero Sparkman [1900] in Defense Mode,” said Jaden. (Note: If a card’s ATK/DEF, depending on the mode the monster’s in, has brackets like this “[ ]” around the Monster’s ATK/ DEF, it means that the Monster’s ATK/DEF was increased.) Then, I throw down a face down and call it a turn. (4)

“My move,” said Seeker. Exodia’s Head, perfect! All I need is Exodia’s Right Arm and Leg to gain an automatic victory! I activate

Pot of Greed, letting me draw 2 cards. Then, I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (3)

“I summon Elemental Hero Clayman [2500] in Defense Mode,” said Jaden. Then, I play Polymerization to tribute my heroes for a better one. I summon Elemental Hero Thunder Giant [2000] in Defense Mode! Next, I activate his super power. By discarding 1 card from my hand, I get to destroy 1 Monster on the field whose original ATK is less than his and Big Shield Gardna is toast! Big Shield Gardna is destroyed. That’ll do for now. (2)

“I summon Gear Golem, the Moving Fortress [2700] in Defense Mode,” said Seeker. Then, I play Graceful Charity, to draw 3 cards and discard 2 from my hand. Next, I activate my face down cards, Appropriate and Gravity Bind. Now when you draw 1 card from your deck that isn’t for your Draw Phase, I draw 2 cards and thanks to Gravity Bind, any Level 4 Monsters or more cannot attack. That ends my turn. (3)

“I play De-Fusion, returning Thunder Giant back to my Fusion Deck and Clayman and Sparkman to my side of the field if they exist in my Graveyard, and it just so happens that they do. Next, I activate Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards. Next, I play my second Polymerization to tribute Sparkman on my field and Bubbleman and Avian in my hand for Elemental Hero Tempest [3300] in Defense Mode. Finally, I summon Wroughtweiler [1700] in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

“I summon Elemental Hero Burstinatrix [1300] in Defense Mode,” said Jaden. That ends my turn. (0)

“I summon Stone Statue of the Aztecs [2500] in Defense Mode,” said Seeker. That ends my turn. (3)

“I play The Warrior Returning Alive,” said Jaden. It allows me to return a Warrior-Type Monster from my Graveyard to my hand and I choose Avian!

To be continued...

Strings, the Quiet One, Returns (4)

Previously...

“Your Lightforce Sword expires on my next turn,” said Strings drawing his card. Even so, that doesn’t keep my God Card’s strength from increasing. Slifer’s stats rise to 7000. Slifer, destroy his Sorcerer of Dark Magic!

“I activate Waboku!” said Yami. (Note: Starter Deck Cards have an underline like Waboku.) During this turn, any damage I take is reduced to 0.

“You may have saved yourself for the moment, but next, turn, I will make SURE your lifepoints hit 0!” said Strings. I end my turn. (7)

“I play United We Stand, raising the equipped Monster’s ATK and DEF points by 800 for each Monster I control. The card goes to Sorcerer of Dark Magic. Sorcerer’s stats rise to (4800/1900). Then, I activate Mage Power! This card adds 500 ATK and DEF to its controller for each Spell or Trap Card on my side of the field, or in this case, Sorcerer of Dark Magic! Sorcerer’s stats soar to (6300/3400). Finally, I activate Malevolent Nuzzler, adding 700 ATK points to the equipped Monster and I choose Sorcerer of Dark Magic! Sorcerer’s ATK rises to 7000. Don’t forget that Mage Power adds an additional 500 ATK and DEF points for each Spell or Trap Card on my side of the field. Sorcerer’s stats rise to (7500/3900)! Sorcerer of Dark Magic, destroy Slifer the Sky Dragon! Slifer is destroyed and Strings’ LPs drop to 6500. You now have no Monsters to defend you and it’s your move. (2)

“I won’t lose to you again, Pharaoh!” said Strings. My draw! No, not Summoned Skull! I end my turn. (8)

“Sorcerer of Dark Magic, wipe him out!” said Yami. Strings’ LPs drop to 0.

“Way to go... um what’s your name?” asked Jaden.

“Call me Yami,” said Yami.

“Well then, way to go Yami!” said Jaden. Well, we got to go so see ya! A mysterious figure blocks his path.

“Who are you?” asked Jaden.

“Someone who wants your Shining Flare Wingman,” said Seeker. (Note: Seeker is the Rare Hunter’s Japanese name and since I only use part of their name I will use Seeker as the Rare Hunter’s name seeing as how neither Rare nor Hunter seems good to use for his name.)

“Alright then get your game on!” said Jaden.

“I’ll start,” said Seeker. I activate Level Limit Area-B, switching all summoned Monsters to Defense Position. (Note: Cards from AST (Ancient Sanctuary) are written like Level Limit Area-B.) Then, I activate Chorus of Sanctuary, boosting the DEF of all Monsters in Defense Mode by 500 (and I will indicate that). Then, I summon Big Shield Gardna (3100) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (3)

“My move,” said Seeker. Exodia’s Head, perfect! All I need is Exodia’s Right Arm and Leg to gain an automatic victory! I activate

Pot of Greed, letting me draw 2 cards. Then, I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (3)

“I summon Elemental Hero Clayman (2500) in Defense Mode,” said Jaden. Then, I play Polymerization to tribute my heroes for a better one. I summon Elemental Hero Thunder Giant (2000) in Defense Mode!

To be continued...

Strings, the Quiet One, Returns (3)

Previously...

“It’s my turn once again, Pharaoh,” said Strings. Slifer’s stats rise to 2000. Slifer, destroy his Dark Magician!

“I activate Lightforce Sword!” said Yami. Thanks to this card, I choose 1 card in your hand at random and that card is removed from play until your 4^th turn.

“Your puny Trap Card is just a temporary stall to keep me from destroying your Monsters,” said Strings. By the time your Lightforce Sword expires, I’ll have 5 cards in my hand and Slifer will have 5000 ATK and DEF points! Your demise awaits, Pharaoh!

“I choose the card on the right!” said Yami. The card vanishes from Strings’ hand and Slifer’s stats drop to 1000 while his LPs drop to 7000.

“You’re just delaying your inevitable defeat,” said Strings. I’ll end my turn. (1)

“I tribute my Chaos Sorcerer and Dark Magician for Sorcerer of Dark Magic (2800) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. Sorcerer’s DEF drops to 800 by Slifer’s effect.Since he was a Special Summon, a Special Summon that could only be fulfilled by tributing 2 level-6 or higher Spellcaster Monsters, I can still conduct a Normal Summon, but I’ll end my turn. (2)

“My move,” said Strings. Slifer’s stats rise to 2000. Only 3 turns left before your Sword wears off. Slifer, destroy his Sorcerer!

“I activate Magical Hats!” said Yami. Now I select 2 Spell or Trap Cards and 1 Monster on my side of the field and I choose Spellbinding Circle, Gaia Power, and my Sorcerer of Dark Magic on my side of the field. The Spell and/or Trap Cards have no ATK or DEF points and are considered Monsters. Those Monsters are shuffled and set in Defense Mode.

“Slifer, destroy the card on the left!” said Strings. The face down Gaia Power (0/0) is destroyed. No, I missed! That ends my turn. (2)

“I forgot to mention that the Spell and or Trap Cards are destroyed at the end of the turn,” said Yami. The face down Spellbinding Circle (0/0) is destroyed. Now, to begin my turn, I activate Graceful Charity! Thanks to this card, I draw 3 and discard 2 from my hand. Card of Sanctity would help me but also him. I activate Card of Sanctity! (Note: Card of Sanctity is a special Card from the Kids WB contest, which is why it gets a different colored underline.) Now we draw until we hold 6 cards.

“You fool, now Slifer’s ATK rises even higher,” said Strings. Slifer’s ATK rises to 6000.

“That may be, but, I have a strategy to take him down!” said Yami.

“I’d like to see your so-called strategy prevail,” said Strings.

“Next, I set 2 cards face down and end my turn,” said Yami. (4)

“I activate Waboku!” said Yami. During this turn, any damage I take is reduced to 0.

“You may have saved yourself for the moment, but next, turn, I will make SURE your lifepoints hit 0!” said Strings.

To be continued...

Strings, the Quiet One, Returns (2)

Previously...

“Summoned Skull, destroy his Humanoid Worm Drake!” said Yami.

“I activate my second Jam Defender!” said Strings. Revival Jam now intercepts your attack unharmed.

“I set 2 cards face down and end my turn,” said Yami. (1)

“I summon Humanoid Slime (800) in Attack Mode,” said Strings. That ends my turn. (0)

“My move,” said Yami. Swords of Revealing Light is destroyed by its effect. Now he only needs 1 other Monster on his side of the field for his God Card to emerge. Lightforce Sword may be just what we need since he has 0 cards in his hand. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (1) This duel’s far from over, Strings!

“It may as well be,” said Strings. I activate “Nightmare’s Steel Cage”, preventing any attacks for 2 turns. That ends my turn. (0)

“I summon Queen’s Knight (1600) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn. (1)

“I tribute my 3 Monsters for Slifer the Sky Dragon ( 0 ) in Attack Mode,” said Strings. (Note: Slifer’s ATK and DEF depend on the number of cards in its controller’s hands and since Strings had no cards remaining in his hand, Slifer has 0 ATK and DEF points.) It may have 0 ATK points, Pharaoh, but with my Cage and Revival Jam out you can’t attack him anyway. It’s your move, Pharaoh! (0)

“I activate Monster Reborn to revive Big Shield Gardna in Defense Mode,” said Yami.

“Now your Gardna loses 2000 DEF points thanks to Slifer’s second mouth attack,” said Strings. Big Shield Gardna’s DEF drops to 600.

“That may be but he’s still standing,” said Yami. Next, I tribute Queen’s Knight and Big Shield Gardna for Dark Magician (2100) in Defense Mode. Dark Magician’s DEF drops to 100 by Slifer’s effect. I remove my DARK attribute Big Shield Gardna and my LIGHT attribute Queen’s Knight for Chaos Sorcerer (2300) in Attack Mode. Chaos Sorcerer’s ATK drops to 300 by Slifer’s effect. That ends my turn. (0)

“I draw,” said Strings. Nightmare’s Steel Cage is destroyed by its effect and Slifer’s stats rise to 1000. It’s your move, Pharaoh. (1)

“Very well,” said Yami. I activate Chaos Sorcerer’s special ability, allowing me to remove 1 Monster on the field from play. Revival Jam, be gone! Revival Jam disappears from the field.

“You may have eliminated my Revival Jam, but your Monsters’ ATKs pale in comparison to Slifer’s,” said Strings. Since you used Chaos Sorcerer’s effect, he cannot attack this turn, not that you would anyhow.

“Fine,” said Yami. I switch him to Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Yami. (2)

“It’s my turn once again, Pharaoh,” said Strings. Slifer’s stats rise to 2000. Slifer, destroy his Dark Magician!

“I activate Lightforce Sword!” said Yami. Thanks to this card, I choose 1 card in your hand at random and that card is removed from play until your 4^th turn.

To be continued...
