Bandit Keith vs

Dartz’s Oreichalkos Deck (2)

Previously…

“It’s time to play the card that has existed for 10,000 years, the Seal of Oreichalkos!” said Dartz. As you already know, all Monsters I control gain 500 ATK points. Gigas’ ATK rises to 1400 and Kyutora’s ATK rises to 1000. Next, I play the Seal’s second level, Oreichalkos Deutoros! With this card out, I gain 500 LPs for each Monster I have out during my Standby Phases and I can negate any attack that targets my LPs by tributing a Monster. Gigas, attack Tempest! Kyutora’s DM rises to 2600. It’s your move. (2)

“I summon Elemental Hero Clayman (2000) in Defense Mode,” said Jaden. Then, I activate Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards. Finally, I throw down a face down and end my turn. (2)

“First, I gain 1000 LPs by Deutoros’ effect,” said Dartz. Dartz’s LPs rise to 8500. Then, I summon Oreichalkos Malevolence [2000] in Attack Mode. Malevolence, destroy Clayman! Clayman switches to Attack Mode. When Malevolence attacks, I get to switch your Monster’s Mode to Attack Mode!

“It doesn’t matter because I activate Hero Ring!” said Jaden. The Monster I choose cannot be attacked by 1900 or higher Monsters and I choose Clayman!

“I play Twin-Bow Centaur and end my turn,” said Dartz. (1)

“I summon Elemental Hero Wildheart (1600) in Defense Mode and that’ll do for now,” said Jaden. (2)

“To begin, my LPs get a 1500 point boost,” said Dartz. Dartz’s LPs rise to 10,000. Oreichalkos Malevolence, destroy Wildheart. Wildheart switches to Attack Mode and is destroyed, reducing Jaden’s LPs to 7500. Gigas, attack Clayman! Clayman remains on the field and Kyutora’s DM rises to 3200. That shall end my turn. (2)

“I throw down a face down and summon Wroughtweiler (1200) in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Jaden. (1)

“Then, it’s time for me to gain another 1500 LPs,” said Dartz. Dartz’s LPs rise to 11,500. Next, I summon Wolf Axweilder [2150] in Attack Mode. Malevolence, destroy Wroughtweiler! Wroughtweiler switches to Attack Position and is destroyed, reducing Jaden’s LPs to 6500.

“I activate his super power, letting me return an Elemental Hero and Polymerization back to my hand,” said Jaden. The Hero I choose is Avian!

“No matter, I end my turn,” said Dartz. (2)

“I play Polymerization, tributing in my hand Avian and Burstinatrix to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (2100) in Attack Mode,” said Jaden. Then, I play Monster Reborn to revive Elemental Hero Sparkman from the Graveyard. That ends my turn. (0)

“I gain 2000 LPs thanks to Deutoros,” said Dartz. Dartz’s LPs rise to 13,500. Next, I play the third level of the Seal of Oreichalkos, Oreichalkos Tritos! Now, you cannot use any of your Spell or Trap Cards against me! Gigas, attack his Flame Wingman! Flame Wingman remains on the field and Kyutora’s DM rises to 3900. Malevolence, attack his Flame Wingman! Flame Wingman again remains on the field and Kyutora’s DM rises to 4000. That ends my turn. (3)

“I activate Fusion Recovery,” said Jaden. Like Wrought’s effect, I get to return an Elemental Hero and Polymerization back to my hand, but the Elemental Hero I’ve selected must have been used for Fusion Summon and I return Burstinatrix back to my hand. Next, I use Polymerization, tributing Elemental Hero Sparkman and Flame Wingman on my field for Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman (2500) in Attack Mode. But that’s just the beginning, see, he gains 300 ATK points for every Elemental Hero in my Graveyard and it just so happens that there are 6. Shining Flare Wingman’s ATK rises to 4300.

“It doesn’t matter,” said Dartz. No Monster you summon can defeat me! Dartz laughs.

Dartz’s Oreichalkos Deck (1)

Previously…

“I activate Tribute to the Doomed,” said Yami. This card destroys an opponent’s Monster at a cost of discarding 1 card. Say goodbye to Silent Swordsman LV5! Silent Swordsman and Fusion Sword Murasame Blade are destroyed. Next, I summon Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts (1500) in Attack Mode. Gazelle, attack his LPs directly! Gurimo’s LPs drop to 1600. Finish him off, Dark Paladin! Gurimo’s LPs drop to 0. The Seal shrinks around him and his soul is taken.

“Way to play, Yami,” said Syrus. Suddenly, there’s a scream.

“Alexis!” said Syrus.

“Let’s go find her,” said Jaden. They find her unconscious on the pavement. What did you do to her?

“She lost to a duel with the Seal of Oreichalkos,” said Dartz. The only way I’ll free her is if you defeat me. (Note: for this duel, I’ll use my Dartz deck.)

“Then get your game on!” said Jaden. I’ll start with Elemental Hero Bubbleman (800) in Attack Mode and thanks to his effect, I draw 2 cards. Next, I throw down a face down and end my turn. (6)

“I summon Oreichalkos Gigas (400) in Attack Mode,” said Dartz. He’s indestructible! Next, I pay 500 of my LPs to summon another Monster. Meet Oreichalkos Kyutora (500) in Defense Mode! Dartz’s LPs drop to 7500. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (3)

“I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman (1600) in Attack Mode,” said Jaden. Sparkman, destroy Gigas! Gigas is destroyed, but Dartz’s LPs remain unchanged and Kyutora’s DM rises to 1200. (Note: DM is what I’ll call Kyutora’s damage meter, or the damage Kyutora absorbs.) How come your LPs didn’t drop?

“Simple,” said Dartz. As long as Oreichalkos Kyutora remains face up on my field, any Battle Damage I take becomes 0.

“I throw down a face down and end my turn,” said Jaden. (4)

“My move,” said Dartz. Gigas returns to Dartz’s field and its ATK rises to 900. By skipping my Draw Phase, I get to Special Summon Gigas back to my field with an additional 500 ATK points (and each time Gigas returns, I’ll show his new ATK). Gigas, destroy Bubbleman!

“I activate Hero Barrier!” said Jaden. This card negates an attack on an Elemental Hero, provided that I have one on the field and I do.

“I’ll end my turn,” said Dartz. (3)

“I summon Elemental Hero Avian (1000) in Attack Mode,” said Jaden. Next, using Polymerization, I tribute Avian, Bubbleman and Sparkman to summon Elemental Hero Tempest (2800) in Attack Mode! That ends my turn. (2)

“I summon Elemental Hero Clayman (2000) in Defense Mode,” said Jaden. Then, I activate Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards. Finally, I throw down a face down and end my turn. (2)

“First, I gain 1000 LPs by Deutoros’ effect,” said Dartz. Dartz’s LPs rise to 8500. Then, I summon Oreichalkos Malevolence [2000] in Attack Mode,” said Dartz. Malevolence, destroy Clayman!

Gurimo, the Warrior Duelist, Returns (1)

Previously…

“Who are you?” asked Yami.

“You don’t remember?” asked Gurimo. Perhaps a duel will refresh your memory.

“Very well,” said Yami.

“I’ll start,” said Gurimo. I summon Makyura the Destructor (1600) in Attack Mode. Then, I place 1 card face down and end my turn. (4)

“I play Polymerization, tributing Dark Magician and Buster Blader in my hand to summon Dark Paladin (2900) in Attack Mode.

“I activate my Trap Card, Hidden Soldiers!” said Gurimo. Since you’ve summoned a Monster, I now get to summon a Level-4 Monster from my hand and I choose Command Knight (1900) in Defense Mode. As long as he’s out, he cannot be attacked if another Warrior-Type Monster is on my field and all Warrior-Type Monsters gain 400 ATK points. Command Knight’s ATK rises to 1600.

“Dark Paladin, destroy Makyura!” said Yami. Makyura is destroyed and Gurimo’s LPs drop to 6700. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (2) You won’t take my soul without a fight!

“I draw,” said Gurimo. I activate the Seal of Oreichalkos!

“The… what of Oreichalkos?” asked Jaden.

“I see your new comrades haven’t a clue on the seal’s power,” said Gurimo. This card has been around for 10 millennia and with each Monster I summon, or is currently in play, that Monster gains 500 ATK points (and I will show this). There’s a downside in playing this card. No one is allowed to leave the dueling are until a winner is decided and the loser of the duel loses his or her soul.

“This is so not licious,” said Chumley. If Yami loses, his soul is captured!

“Now, back to the duel,” said Gurimo. Command Knight gains 500 ATK points! Command Knight’s ATK rises to 1700. Next, I tribute Command Knight for Silent Swordsman LV5 [2800] in Attack Mode. Then, I play Fusion Sword Murasame Blade, giving the equipped Warrior-Type Monster 800 ATK points and as a bonus, my Spell Card can’t be destroyed by effects that destroy Spell Cards. Silent Swordsman’s ATK rises to 3600. Silent Swordsman, destroy Dark Paladin!

“I activate Magic Cylinder!” said Yami. You now take damage equal to your Monster’s ATK points. Gurimo’s LPs drop to 3100.

“I set 1 card face down and end my turn,” said Gurimo. (1)

“Way to play, Yami,” said Syrus. Suddenly, there’s a scream.

“Alexis!” said Syrus.

“Let’s go find her,” said Jaden. They find her unconscious on the pavement. What did you do to her?

“She lost to a duel with the Seal of Oreichalkos,” said Dartz. The only way I’ll free her is if you defeat me.

“Then get your game on!” said Jaden. I’ll start with Elemental Hero Bubbleman (800) in Attack Mode and thanks to his effect, I draw 2 cards. Next, I throw down a face down and end my turn. (6)

“I summon Oreichalkos Gigas (400) in Attack Mode,” said Dartz. He’s indestructible!

To be continued…

Jaden vs. Yami and Chazz vs. Kaiba (5)

Previously…

“I tribute my Ojama Green and Yellow for Despair from the Dark (2800) in Attack Mode,” said Chazz. Despair from the Dark, destroy Luster Dragon! Luster Dragon is destroyed and Kaiba’s LPs drop to 2600. That ends my turn. (0)

“I set 1 Monster in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Kaiba. (0)

“Despair from the Dark, destroy the face down Monster!” said Chazz. The face down Magician of Faith (400) is destroyed. Your move! (1)

“Thanks to her ability, I can return any Spell Card in my Graveyard back to my hand,” said Kaiba. I choose Pot of Greed. Next, I activate Graceful Charity for 3 cards at a cost of discarding 2 from my hand and I set 1 card and end my turn. (1) Go! It’s your move!

“I summon Chaos Necromancer (0000) in Attack Mode,” said Chazz. His ATK is 300 times the number of cards in my Graveyard and there happen to be 19. Chaos Necromancer’s ATK rises to 5700. Despair from the Dark, end this duel!

“I activate Shrink!” said Kaiba. Your Monster loses half its strength! Despair’s ATK drops to 1400 and Kaiba’s LPs drop to 1200.

“Chaos Necromancer, wipe out his LPs!” said Chazz. Kaiba’s LPs drop to 0.

“Well done, Jaden and Chazz, you both get to stay at the academy,” said Chancellor. Meanwhile, after having their souls spared from the Seal of Oreichalkos…

“Looks like we have a counterpart of the Pharaoh,” said Dartz. (Note: When Dartz says counterpart, he means that the player is similar to Yami in that he’s the greatest duelist.)

“Yes master, and there’s a Joey counterpart as well,” said Raphael.

“Let’s go show them the power of the Seal of Oreichalkos,” said Alistair.

“Looks like Kaiba has a counterpart as well,” said Valon.

“Let’s go show these amateur duelists what the Oreichalkos is made of!” said Dartz. Everyone scatters in different directions. Outside the Duel Academy, Jaden and Yami are discussing their duel.

“I’m impressed with your skills, Jaden,” said Yami. You dueled honorably and beat me fair and square. Suddenly, a figure appears in front of them.

“Pharaoh, it’s been ages since our last encounter,” said Gurimo. (Note: This is Bearded Man’s Japanese name and I will use it as his first name since he has no English name. Bearded Man is his suggested English name.)

“Who are you?” asked Yami.

“You don’t remember?” asked Gurimo. Perhaps a duel will refresh your memory.

“Very well,” said Yami.

“I’ll start,” said Gurimo. I summon Makyura the Destructor (1600) in Attack Mode. Then, I place 1 card face down and end my turn. (4)

“I play Polymerization, tributing Dark Magician and Buster Blader in my hand to summon Dark Paladin (2900) in Attack Mode.

“Dark Paladin, destroy Makyura!” said Yami. Makyura is destroyed and Gurimo’s LPs drop to 6700. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (2) You won’t take my soul without a fight!

To be continued…

Jaden vs. Yami and Chazz vs. Kaiba (4)

Previously…

“I play Frontline Base, letting me summon a Union-Type Monster from my hand once per turn during my Main Phase. I summon V-Tiger Jet (1600) in Attack Mode by normal conditions. Then, by my card’s effect, I summon W-Wing Catapult (1300) in Attack Mode as well. Next, I remove them from play to summon VW-Tiger Catapult (2000) in Attack Mode. Next, I use my VW Tiger Catapult’s ability, letting me change your Monster’s mode by discarding 1 card and I choose Defense Mode. VW-Tiger Catapult, destroy Luster Dragon #2! Luster Dragon #2 is destroyed. Let’s see you get your way out of this jam, I end my turn. (0)

“I draw,” said Kaiba. I set 1 Monster in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0) Your move!

“I set 1 card face down,” said Chazz. Then I’ll have my Monster destroy yours. VW-Tiger Catapult, destroy his face down Monster! The face down Man-Eater Bug (600) is destroyed.

“Thank you for triggering my Monster’s effect,” said Kaiba. Now I get to destroy 1 Monster on the field and I choose VW-Tiger Catapult! VW-Tiger Catapult is destroyed.

“I activate my face down card, Call of the Haunted,” said Chazz. This lets me return a Monster from my Graveyard back to my field in Attack Mode and I choose VW-Tiger Catapult! I end my turn. (0)

“I set 1 card face down and end my turn,” said Kaiba. (0)

“Time to finish you off!” said Chazz drawing his card. I set 1 card face down. VW-Tiger Catapult, end this duel!

“I don’t think so!” said Kaiba. I activate Call of the Haunted and I use it to bring back Blue-Eyes White Dragon in Attack Mode! Chazz’s LPs drop to 4400.

“I end my turn,” said Chazz. (0)

“I summon Lord of D. (1200) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Blue-Eyes, destroy VW-Tiger Catapult!

“I end my turn,” said Kaiba. (0)

“I play Pot of Greed for 2 cards,” said Chazz. Then, I play Ojamandala. Thanks to this card, I get to bring back Ojama Black, Green and Yellow from my Graveyard at a cost of 1000 LPs. Chazz’s LPs drop to 2400. Welcome back, Ojama Black (1000), Green (1000) and Yellow (1000)! Next, I play Ojama Delta Hurricane!!. Since all 3 Ojamas exist on my field, all cards on your field are destroyed! Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Lord of D., and Call of the Haunted are destroyed. That ends my turn. (0)

“I play Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw 2 cards,” said Kaiba. Then, I play Reload. This card lets me return my hand to my deck and shuffle it.

“I summon Obnoxious Celtic Guard (1400) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Celtic Guard, destroy Winged Kuriboh! Winged Kuriboh is destroyed. Buster Blader, attack his LPs directly!

“That won’t do ya any good,” said Jaden. See, when Winged Kuriboh is destroyed, any damage I take is reduced to 0.

“I’ll end my turn,” said Yami. (1)

“I play Pot of Greed, letting me draw twice,” said Jaden. Get your game on! Next, I use Monster Reborn to revive Winged Kuriboh in Defense Mode. That’s it. (2)

Say hello to Winged Kuriboh LV10 (200) in Defense Mode. Next, I activate his super power.

Chazz picks up the cards. Ojama Black, Green and Yellow, just what I need! I play Polymerization, sending Ojama Black, Green and Yellow to my Graveyard to summon the king of Ojamas, Ojama King (3000) in Defense Mode!

To be continued…

Jaden vs. Yami and Chazz vs. Kaiba (1)

Previously…

“Jaden, Chazz, it appears you two were dueling near the abandoned dorm, which is against the rules,” said Chancellor. I’m afraid I have no choice but to have you two expelled.

“What, Chazz Princeton doesn’t get expelled!” said Chazz.

“Sorry, Chazz, there’s nothing I can do,” said Chancellor.

“What if we dueled someone?” asked Jaden.

“Yeah right, like I’d ever duel along your side,” said Chazz.

“Then, why don’t you Chazz face Seto Kaiba and you Jaden face Yugi Muto. If you two both defeat your opponents, you get to stay at the Academy,” said Chancellor. You two are going to have to find your opponents and bring them to the Academy. Jaden, bring Yugi to Ra Yellow and Chazz, bring Kaiba to Obelisk Blue.

“Sweet, I get to fight the one and only Yugi Muto!” said Jaden. I’m on it! Both duelists walk away. Both opponents are found hours later and everyone activates their duel disks.

“Let’s duel!” the duelists said. At the Ra Yellow Dorm…

“I’ll begin,” said Yugi. Yugi activates the Millennium Puzzle and becomes Yami. I summon Royal Magical Library (2000) in Defense Mode. Then, I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (4)

“Alright, get your game on,” said Jaden. I’m gonna summon Elemental Hero Sparkman (1600) in Attack Mode. Next, I play Spark Blaster, a Spell Card that can only be equipped to Sparkman.

“You’ve triggered Magical Library’s special ability, now he gets a counter and I can only have 3 counters on him at a time and if I remove all 3 I get to draw 1 card,” said Yami.

“Using Spark Blaster’s effect, I’ll switch your Monster to Attack Mode,” said Jaden. Your Monster switches to Attack Mode and it don’t look good for your Monster with no ATK points. Sparkman, destroy his Magical Library!

“I activate Spellbinding Circle!” said Yami. As long as it stays active, your Monster is forbidden to attack.

“Alright then, I throw down a face down and end my turn. (3)

“I summon Skilled Dark Magician (1900) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Then, I switch Magical Library back to Defense Mode. Next, Skilled Magician, destroy Sparkman! Sparkman, Spellbinding Circle and Spark Blaster are destroyed, reducing Jaden’s LPs to 7700.

“I activate A Hero Emerges!” said Jaden. Now, you pick a card in my hand and if it’s a Monster, I get to summon it, so take your pick.

“The right card,” said Yami.

“Sweet, now I summon Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (800) in Defense Mode,” said Jaden.

“I set 1 card face down and end my turn,” said Yami. (3)

“I activate Magic Cylinder, making you take damage equal to your Monster’s ATK strength,” said Yami. Jaden’s LPs drop to 5900.

“I throw down a face down and end my turn,” said Jaden. (2)

“My move,” said Yami. I tribute my 2 Monsters for Buster Blader (2600) in Attack Mode!

To be continued…

Bandit Keith vs. Maximillion Pegasus (3)

Previously…

“I summon Toon Masked Sorcerer (900) in Attack Mode,” said Pegasus. That ends my turn. (1)

“I set 1 Monster in Defense Mode,” said Keith. Then, I reveal my face down card, Metalmorph, giving Machiner’s Force 300 ATK points and when he attacks an opponent’s Monster, half of that Monster’s strength goes to my Monster and remains until my turn’s end. Machiner’s ATK rises to 4900. That ends my turn. (0) Wait’ till he attacks my face down Blast Sphere.

“I tribute Toon Masked Sorcerer for Toon Dark Magician Girl (2000) in Attack Mode,” said Pegasus. Thousand-Eyes Restrict, destroy his face down card! The face down Blast Sphere (1400) is destroyed.

“Now Blast Sphere is equipped to your Monster face down and on your next turn, your Monster is destroyed and you take damage equal to its ATK points,” said Keith. Face it, it’s over! Thousand-Eyes Restrict, Mechanicalchaser and 7 Completed are destroyed.

“All Toon Monsters cost me 500 LPs to attack so, I pay 500 LPs to have Toon Dark Magician Girl attack you directly,” said Pegasus. Pegasus’ LPs drop to 5850 while Keith’s LPs drop to 6000. Now, I pay another 500 points so that Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon can attack directly. Pegasus’ LPs drop to 5350 while Keith’s LPs drop to 3000. That ends my turn. (2)

“To start my turn, I’ll have Machiner’s Force attack your Toon Dragon,” said Keith. My Monster costs me 1000 LPs to attack, but that’s a small price to pay. Machiner’s Force, destroy Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon! Keith’s LPs drop to 2000, Machiner’s Force’s ATK rises to 6750 by Metalmorph’s effect and Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon is destroyed, reducing Pegasus’ LPs to 1600. That ends my turn. (1) Machiner’s Force’s ATK returns to 4600.

“I’m afraid you’ve already lost the duel, Keith,” said Pegasus.

“Say what?” said Keith. This duel’s not done!

“It will be,” said Pegasus. I attack your LPs directly with Toon Dark Magician Girl! Pegasus’ LPs drop to 1100 while Keith’s LPs drop to 0.

“I won’t accept defeat!” said Keith. You must have cheated!

“You just don’t get it, do you Keith?” said Pegasus. You lost fair and square to me.

“Well, if I can’t be you, I’ll find someone I can beat!” said Keith. Joey Wheeler and I have a score to settle. Keith walks out the door. Elsewhere, in Chancellor, the Duel Academy Counselor’s office…

“Jaden, Chazz, it appears you two were dueling near the abandoned dorm, which is against the rules,” said Chancellor. I’m afraid I have no choice but to have you two expelled.

“What, Chazz Princeton doesn’t get expelled!” said Chazz.

“Sorry, Chazz, there’s nothing I can do,” said Chancellor.

“What if we dueled someone?” asked Jaden.

“Yeah right, like I’d ever duel along your side,” said Chazz.

“Sweet, I get to fight the one and only Yugi Muto!” said Jaden. I’m on it! Both duelists walk away. Both opponents are found hours later and everyone activates their duel disks.

Bandit Keith vs. Maximillion Pegasus (2)

Previously…

“I summon Battle Footballer (2100) in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Keith. (3)

“I summon Toon Cannon Soldier (1400) in Attack Mode,” said Pegasus. Thousand-Eyes Restrict, destroy Battle Footballer! Battle Footballer is destroyed. Your move. (1)

“I activate my face down card, Time Machine, allowing me to return my Battle Footballer back to my field in Defense Mode. Next, I play 2 more 7 Completed cards and equip them to Battle Footballer and I choose DEF this time. Battle Footballer’s DEF rises to 3600. That ends my turn. (1)

“I tribute Cannon Soldier for Toon Summoned Skull (2500) in Attack Mode,” said Pegasus. That ends my turn. (1)

“I summon General Commander Convinton (600) in Defense Mode,” said Keith. Then I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (0)

“I summon Toon Goblin Attack Force (2300) in Attack Mode,” said Pegasus. That ends my turn. (1)

“I summon Machiner’s Soldier (1500) in Defense Mode,” said Keith. That ends my turn. (0)

“No matter what Monster you summon, it cannot attack,” said Pegasus. I tribute Toon Goblin Attack Force and Toon Summoned Skull for Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon (3000) in Attack Mode. That ends my turn. (1)

“I summon Machiner’s Sniper (800) in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Keith. (0)

“I play Dark Rabbit (1500) in Defense Mode,” said Pegasus. That ends my turn. (1)

“I summon Machiner’s Defender (1800) in Defense Mode,” said Keith. That ends my turn. Once I draw Machiner’s Force, that lunatic Pegasus won’t have anywhere to run. (0)

“I summon Mystic Tomato (1100) in Defense Mode,” said Pegasus. That ends my turn. (1)

“My move, Pegasus,” said Keith. Keith laughs. I activate General Commander Convinton’s ability. By sending Machiner’s Defender, Sniper and Soldier to my Graveyard, I now summon the ultimate Machine Monster. Rise, Machiner’s Force (4600) in Attack Mode! Keith laughs again. You got nowhere else to run, so why don’t you just quit makin’ a fool of yourself and run home?

“Impressive Monster, Keith, but only 1 problem, he cannot attack,” said Pegasus.

“So what,” said Keith. He’s got more fire power than yours. I end my turn. (0)

“I play Shine Castle, raising the ATK of an equipped Light attribute Monster by 700 and I choose Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon. Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon’s ATK rises to 3700.

“That still aint enough to destroy my Machiner’s Force,” said Keith.

“It doesn’t need to be,” said Pegasus. I end my turn. (1)

“I set 1 card face down and end my turn,” said Keith. (0)

“I summon Toon Masked Sorcerer (900) in Attack Mode,” said Pegasus. That ends my turn. (1)

“Now Blast Sphere is equipped to your Monster face down and on your next turn, your Monster is destroyed and you take damage equal to its ATK points,” said Keith. Face it, it’s over!
