The Legendary Gambler (2)

Previously…

            “I play Pot of Greed for 2 cards,” said Mai. Next I play Harpie’s Hunting Ground, giving all Winged-Beast monsters 200 ATK and DEF. Then, I summon Harpie Lady 1 (1500) in Attack Mode. With Hunting Ground’s other effect, I can destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card whenever a Harpie Lady monster is summoned so say goodbye to your face down card! Pierre’s face down Fairy Box is destroyed. As a bonus, my Harpie Lady 1 is also treated as Harpie Lady and boosts the ATK of all WIND monsters by 300! Harpie Lady 1’s ATK rises to 1800. Harpie Lady, destroy Time Wizard! Time Wizard is destroyed and Pierre’s LPs drop to 6700. That ends my turn. (1)

            “First I tribute my Sasuke Samurai for Maximum Six (1900) in Attack Mode,” said Pierre. Next, the die result multiplies by 200 and adds it to his current ATK. The die lands. Bravo, a 5! Maximum Six’s ATK rises to 2900. Next I activate Dangerous Machine - Type 6! Then, you can say au revoir to 2900 of your LPs, mon cherrie as Maximum Six attacks directly!

            “Sorry hun but I activate Mirror Wall!” said Mai. As long as I pay 2000 LPs per turn, it halves your monster’s ATK! Maximum Six’s ATK drops to 1450 while Her LPs drop to 6050. You’re gambling with the wrong duelist, lover boy!

            “I end my turn,” said Pierre. (0)

            “My move,” said Mai.

            “I activate Needle Wall,” said Pierre. Now at my Standby Phases, I roll a die and bid adieu to 1 monster you control, depending on the die result. If I get 6, I roll again.

            “Doesn’t bother me right now,” said Mai. I pay for Mirror Wall. Her LPs drop to 4050. Then I summon Birdface (1800) in Attack Mode. Finally, I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (0)

            “I draw and activate both Dangerous Machine and Needle Wall!” said Pierre. First comes Needle Wall! A die flies through the air and lands. A 2 so your monster gets to stay but not for long as I use Dangerous Machine’s effect! Another die lands. A 3 so I get to draw 1 card! Next I summon Gamble Angel Bunny (1200) in Defense Mode and use its effect, which again lets me flip a coin and call it. If I’m right, you say au revoir to 1000 of your LPs. Tails! He flips a coin and it lands. Tails it is. Mai’s LPs drop to 3050. That ends my turn. (1)

            “I draw and do not pay for Mirror Wall!” said Mai. Mirror Wall is destroyed and Maximum Six’s ATK returns to 2900. Next I activate Grave Arm, which can destroy any monster on the field so say goodbye to your Maximum Six!

            “I activate Magic Drain, which negates your card effect unless you discard 1 Spell Card,” said Pierre.

            “Oh no, I don’t have any!” said Mai. Grave Arm is negated. Birdface, finish off his Gamble Angel Bunny! Gamble Angel Bunny is destroyed. That ends my turn. (0)

            “I activate my cards’ effects!” said Pierre. First is Dangerous Machine! A die rolls and stops. A 2 so you lose 1 card from your hand but luckily, you don’t have any. Next I use Needle Wall! Another die drops and lands. A 1, just what I needed to win! Birdface is destroyed. Gamble Angel Bunny and Maximum Six, end this duel!

            “I don’t think so,” said Mai. I activate Gravity Bind, which prevents any monster above Level 3 from attacking.

            “Magnefique,” said Pierre. Yet I still have 1 move left as I use Gamble Angel Bunny’s effect! He flips a coin. Tails! The coin lands. Heads?! No matter I use Second Coin Toss’ effect! The coin re-flips. Tails! The coin lands. Tails again! Mai’s LPs drop to 3050. That ends my turn. (0)

            “My move, then,” said Mai. I play Pot of Greed for 2 cards. Next I summon Harpie Lady 3 (1600) in Defense Mode. Then with Harpie’s Hunting Ground, Needle Wall is destroyed! Needle Wall is destroyed. Then I use Elegant Egotist to bring out Harpie Lady Sisters (2350) in Defense Mode. Next, with Harpie’s Hunting Ground, I destroy Dangerous Machine! Dangerous Machine is destroyed. That ends my turn. (0)

            “I draw,” said Pierre. I play Sand Gambler (0300) in Attack Mode. Next I use his effect, which if I get 3 heads, you bid your monsters adieu but if all tails, I bid my monsters au revoir. He flips 3 coins and they land. Tails?! His monsters are destroyed. That ends my turn. (0)

            “I tribute my monsters for Simorgh, Bird of Divinity (2900) in Attack Mode!” said Mai. It’s over!
