Dartz’s Oreichalkos Cards and Raphael’s Guardians (Part 1)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh…

“I will win, I know it,” said Yami. I will find a way to take you down, Dartz.

“We’ll see about that, Pharaoh,” said Dartz. What makes you think that with an indestructible Oreichalkos Gigas in my deck that you have a chance against me? I’d say you’re losing your mind.

“Wait until I defeat you,” said Yami.

“It is not that you’ll defeat me it is I that will defeat you,” said Dartz. There’s not a card in your deck that can stand against the overwhelming power of my deck. The power of the Oreichalkos will lead to my victory and your demise, Pharaoh.

“The same goes for you, Wheeler,” said Raphael.

“I don’t think so,” said Joey. Yugi and I are going to take you two apart!” said Joey.

“Joey is right,” said Yami. The two of you are no match for our friendship,” said Yami. Dartz laughs.

“Hey, where’s the joke, Dartz?” asked Joey.

“You two are a joke,” said Dartz. What makes you think I’m going to believe the two of you? You, Joey wouldn’t last a half an hour in a duel against Raphael. As for you, Pharaoh, the likelihood of you defeating me is like Atlantis rising from the depths of the Earth. In other words, your hopes of defeating me are very small.

“Wheeler, how do you know that you’ll defeat me?” asked Raphael.

“Because I have a belief in the Heart of the Cards,” said Joey.

“That’s right, Joey,” said Yami. Thanks to the Heart of the Cards, we will prevail. There is nothing you guys can do to break it.

“I’ll start things off by paying 500 lifepoints to summon Oreichalkos Kyutora (500/500) in Defense Mode,” said Dartz. (Note: I will be using my Dartz deck for the rest of this season and his monsters’ names will have Oreichalkos in their name.) Dartz’s lifepoints drop to 7500. That’ll do for now.

“I summon Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) in Defense Mode,” said Raphael. Then, I activate Rod of Silence-Kay’est, giving my monster 500 DEF points. Big Shield Gardna’s DEF rises to 3100. Next, I activate the Spell Card that will annihilate you, the Seal of Oreichalkos! That ends my turn. Big Shield Gardna’s ATK rises to 600 by the Seal.

“I summon King’s Knight (1600/1400) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Now, attack his Guardian Kay’est!

“I don’t think so Pharaoh,” said Raphael. You can’t select Guardian Kay’est as an attack target as long as she’s on the field.

“Fine,” said Yami. I set one card face down and end my turn.

“I summon Rocket Warrior (1500/1300) in Defense Mode and that’s all,” said Joey.

“I activate my Seal of Oreichalkos!” said Dartz. Kyutora’s ATK rises to 1000. Next, I play Oreichalkos Dudoros! I gain 500 lifepoints for every monster on my side of the field. Next, I activate the third level of darkness, Oreichalkos Tritos! This card prevents you form using your Spell or Trap cards against me. Plus, I get to offer one monster as a tribute to reflect the attack right back at your monster. Then, I summon Oreichalkos Gigas (400/1000) in Attack Mode. Oreichalkos Gigas’ ATK rises to 900 by the Seal. That ends my turn. My monster’s indestructible!

“I summon Guardian Kay’est (1000/1800) in Attack Mode,” said Raphael. Guardian Kay’est’s ATK rises to 1500 by the Seal. Next, I activate my Gravity Axe-Grarl Spell Card and I equip it to Big Shield Gardna, giving him 500 ATK points. Big Shield Gardna’s ATK rises to 1200. That ends my turn. There’s nowhere to hide, Pharaoh, and you’re going to lose this duel!

The Third Seal of Oreichalkos (Part 1)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh…

“All right,” said Yami. I activate Brain Control. This card lets me control one of your monsters for the price of 800 lifepoints. Yami’s lifepoints drop to 7200. I control your Labyrinth Wall! Next, I remove Wall of Illusion from play to summon Summoned Skull (2500/1200) in Attack Mode. Summoned Skull’s stats become (3000/800) thanks to Mystic Plasma Zone. Next, I switch Big Shield Gardna to Attack Mode. Big Shield Gardna, attack his lifepoints! Dox’s lifepoints drop to 5100. Summoned Skull, direct attack! Dox’s lifepoints drop to 2100. Finish him off, Dark Blade! Dox’s lifepoints drop to 0. We won! This duel is over!

“I can’t believe you took out my Gate Guardian!” said Para.

“Next time we duel, we will win,” said Dox. In Dartz’s lair…

“Finally, our time has come to take down the Pharaoh and young Joseph Wheeler!” said Dartz.

“The Pharaoh won’t win because we have the power of the Oreichalkos,” said Raphael.

“With the power of the Oreichalkos, I shall reign supreme!” said Dartz. We can’t lose with the power of the Seal in our hands.

“Yes master,” said Raphael. Those two duelists are going down! Raphael laughs.

“It’s Dartz… and some other guy,” said Joey.

“Raphael,” said Yugi.

“Look, it’s time that we defeat you two once and for all,” said Raphael.

“Well, you won’t be beating us any time soon,” said Yami.

“I doubt that, Pharaoh,” said Raphael. In fact, I’ll destroy Wheeler while Dartz takes you out. The odds of you defeating us are slim to none. Wheeler, you won’t stand a chance against the Guardians I have in store for you.

“Just try me!” said Joey.

“Pharaoh, don’t get any hopes of defeating master Dartz,” said Raphael. He has cards beyond your wildest dreams.

“I will win, I know it,” said Yami. I will find a way to take you down, Dartz.

“Wait until I defeat you,” said Yami.

“The same goes for you, Wheeler,” said Raphael.

“I don’t think so,” said Joey. Yugi and I are going to take you two apart!” said Joey.

“Joey is right,” said Yami. The two of you are no match for our friendship,” said Yami. Dartz laughs.

“Hey, where’s the joke, Dartz?” asked Joey.

“Wheeler, how do you know that you’ll defeat me?” asked Raphael.

“Because I have a belief in the Heart of the Cards,” said Joey.

“That’s right, Joey,” said Yami. Thanks to the Heart of the Cards, we will prevail. There is nothing you guys can do to break it.

The Wrath of Para and Dox (Part 2)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh…

“I activate my Scapegoat Spell Card,” said Joey. With this card on the field I get to summon for tokens to the field (0/0 each) in Defense Mode. That ends my turn.

“I set one monster in Defense Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn.

“It is my turn,” said Dox. I remove my Giant Soldier from the game to summon Labyrinth Wall (0/3000) in Defense Mode.

“Excellent my brother, that should hold them off,” said Para.

“Indeed,” said Dox. With this on the field, their monster attacks will stop.

“There’s no way you two can win,” said Para.

“You won’t be taking out our Gate Guardian,” said Dox. That ends my turn.

“Gate Guardian, destroy his Panther Warrior!” said Para. Panther Warrior is destroyed and Joey’s lifepoints drop to 6250. That shall end my turn.

“I activate Shield & Sword, exchanging the ATK and DEF of our monsters,” said Joey. Gate Guardian’s stats become (3400/4250). Then, I remove Panther Warrior from the game to summon my Jinzo (2400/1500) in Attack Mode. Jinzo’s ATK rises to 2900 by Plasma Zone’s effect.

“That monster is too weak,” said Para.

“He will be destroyed as we speak,” said Dox.

“I’m not done yet,” said Joey. Next, I activate my Axe of Despair, giving Jinzo 1000 ATK points. Jinzo’s ATK rises to 3900. Jinzo, destroy his Gate Guardian! Gate Guardian is destroyed and Para’s lifepoints drop to 2750. Top that! I’ll end my turn.

“Nice move, Joey, well done,” said Yami. I summon Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) in Defense Mode. That ends my turn. Big Shield Gardna’s stats become (600/2200) by Plasma Zone’s effect.

“I end my turn,” said Dox.

“I end my turn,” said Para.

“I activate Change of Heart, letting me take control of one of your monsters,” said Joey. Your Moisture Creature is mine. Moisture Creature, direct attack! Para’s lifepoints drop to 0. Take him down, Yugi.

“I can’t believe you two took out my Gate Guardian!” said Para.

“Next time we duel, we will win,” said Dox. In Dartz’s lair…

“Finally, our time has come to take down the Pharaoh and young Joseph Wheeler!” said Dartz.

“The Pharaoh won’t win because we have the power of the Oreichalkos,” said Raphael.

“With the power of the Oreichalkos, I shall reign supreme!” said Dartz. We can’t lose with the power of the Seal in our hands.

“Yes master,” said Raphael. Those two duelists are going down! Raphael laughs.

“It’s Dartz… and some other guy,” said Joey.

“Raphael,” said Yugi.

“Look, it’s time that we defeat you two once and for all,” said Raphael.

The Wrath of Para and Dox (Part 1)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh…

“I remove my Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl from play to summon my Sorcerer of Dark Magic (3200/2800) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Next, I activate Book of Secret Arts, giving my Sorcerer 300 ATK and DEF points. Sorcerer’s stats rise to (3500/3100). Next, I activate my Swords of Revealing Light preventing you from attacking me for three turns. It also flips all face down monsters on your side of the field face up. Dark Blade, destroy his left card! The face down Beaver Warrior (1200/1500) is destroyed. Go my Sorcerer, attack his last monster! The face down Royal Magical Library (0/2000) is destroyed. That ends my turn.

“It’s my turn, Pharaoh,” said Shadi. My own Dark Magician, that’s no good. Pharaoh, there is nothing I can do this turn so you win. You did far better than I had anticipated. Well done. We will meet again someday. Shadi disappears. Joey races up to Yami.

“Hey, Yugi,” said Joey. The Paradox Brothers appear in front of them.

“It’s time that you two duel us again,” said Para.

“For if you win, another challenge lies ahead,” said Dox.

“I’ll start,” said Joey. I summon Battle Warrior (700/1000) in Defense Mode. That’s all for now. I’ll let my partner take his turn.

“Thanks, Joey,” said Yami. I summon Wall of Illusion (1000/1850) in Defense Mode. Then, I set one card face down and end my turn.

“My turn,” said Dox. I summon Giant Soldier of Stone (1300/2000) in Defense Mode. Then, I set one card face down and end my turn. It’s my brother’s turn now.

“Indeed,” said Para. I summon Guardian of the Labyrinth (1000/1200) in Defense Mode. That ends my turn.

“I summon Panther Warrior (2000/1600) in Attack Mode,” said Joey. I offer my Battle Warrior as a tribute to let Panther attack. Destroy his Guardian of the Labyrinth! Guardian of the Labyrinth is destroyed. I place one card face down and end my turn.

“I activate my Dark Hole, eradicating all monsters on our fields,” said Yami. Wall of Illusion and Giant Soldier of Stone are destroyed. Next, I activate Mystic Plasma Zone giving Dark Monsters 500 ATK points but a deduction of 400 DEF points. Panther Warrior’s stats become (2500/1200) thanks to Plasma Zone’s effect. Then, I summon Dark Blade (1800/1500) in Attack Mode. Dark Blade’s become (2300/1100) by Mystic Plasma Zone’s effect. Attack Dox’s lifepoints, my Dark Blade! Dox’s lifepoints drop to 5700. That ends my turn.

“I play my Card Destruction Spell Card,” said Para. We must throw out our hands and draw the same number of cards we threw out from our decks. Then, I remove my Sanga of Thunder, Suijin and Kazajin from play to summon the ultimate monster. Meet the Gate Guardian (3750/3400) in Attack Mode. Gate Guardian’s stats become (4250/3000) by Plasma Zone’s effect. Gate Guardian, destroy his Panther Warrior!

“I activate Magic Cylinder!” said Joey. This card inflicts the ATK as damage to your lifepoints. Para’s lifepoints drop to 3750.

“I set one card face down and end my turn,” said Para.

“I activate my Scapegoat Spell Card,” said Joey. With this card on the field I get to summon for tokens to the field (0/0 each) in Defense Mode. That ends my turn.

“I set one monster in Defense Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn.

“It is my turn,” said Dox. I remove my Giant Soldier from the game to summon Labyrinth Wall (0/3000) in Defense Mode.

“Excellent my brother, that should hold them off,” said Para.

“Indeed,” said Dox. With this on the field, their monster attacks will stop.

“There’s no way you two can win,” said Para.

“You won’t be taking out our Gate Guardian,” said Dox.

Shadi’s Return (Part 2)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh…

“I activate Pot of Greed to draw two times,” said Yami. Next, I summon Zombyra the Dark (2100/500) in Attack Mode. That ends my turn.

“I activate Axe of Despair to give Chimera 1000 ATK points,” said Shadi. Chimera’s ATK rises to 3100. Chimera, destroy his Dark Magician! Dark Magician is destroyed and Yami’s lifepoints drop to 3400. Gamma, attack his lifepoints directly! Yami’s lifepoints drop to 1900. That ends my turn.

“I summon Sangan (1000/600) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn.

“Chimera, destroy his Sangan!” said Shadi. Sangan is destroyed.

“No, Sangan!” said Yami. Since you’ve destroyed Sangan, I get to add one monster whose ATK is 1500 or less to my hand from my deck.

“That ends my turn,” said Shadi.

“I remove Sangan from the game to summon Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Then, I set two cards face down and end my turn.

“I summon Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700/1600) in Attack Mode,” said Shadi. Chimera, destroy his Dark Magician Girl!

“I activate Mirror Force!” said Yami. All monsters on your side of the field in Attack Mode are destroyed. Gamma, Beta and Chimera are destroyed.

“That ends my turn,” said Shadi.

“I set one monster in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Shadi.

“Every monster on the field is now destroyed thanks to Cyber Jar’s effect,” said Shadi. Dark Magician Girl, Queen’s Knight and King’s Knight are destroyed. We must now pick up five cards from our decks and any 4-star or lower monsters drawn are to be summoned to the field in face up Attack Mode or face down Defense Mode. I set three monsters in Defense Mode.

“I summon Dark Blade (1800/1500) in Attack Mode and two monsters in Defense Mode,” said Yami. Dark Blade, destroy his middle face down card! The face down Celtic Guardian (1400/1200) is destroyed. That ends my turn.

“My move,” said Shadi. What’s this? There are no monsters in my hand? How can that be? I end my turn.

“Hey, Yugi,” said Joey. The Paradox Brothers appear in front of them.

“It’s time that you two duel us again,” said Para.

“For if you win, another challenge lies ahead,” said Dox.

To be continued…

Shadi’s Return (Part 1)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh…

“Yugi, it has been quite some time since we last met eye to eye,” said Shadi. I want to see if you’re capable of defeating me in a duel.

“Let’s find out,” said Yami.

“I’ll go first,” said Shadi. I summon Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1 (1400/1200) in Attack Mode. Then, I set two cards face down and end my turn.

“I summon Obnoxious Celtic Guard (1400/1200) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. Then, I activate Harpie’s Feather Duster, destroying all Spell and Trap Cards on the field. Shadi’s face down cards are destroyed. That ends my turn.

“I summon Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts (1500/1200) in Attack Mode,” said Shadi. Winged Dragon, destroy his Celtic Guard! Obnoxious Celtic Guard is destroyed. Gazelle, direct attack! Yami’s lifepoints drop to 6500. Can you do any better?

“In fact, I can,” said Yami. I remove Celtic Guard from the game to call forth Summoned Skull (2500/1200) in Attack Mode. Summoned Skull, destroy his Gazelle! Gazelle is destroyed and Shadi’s lifepoints drop to 7000. That’ll do for now.

“I summon Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) in Defense Mode,” said Shadi. Then, I switch my Winged Dragon to Defense Mode. Finally, I set one card face down and end my turn.

“Summoned Skull, destroy his Winged Dragon!” said Yami.

“Reveal face down card, Magic Cylinder!” said Shadi. Your monster’s ATK is subtracted from your lifepoints. Yami’s lifepoints drop to 4000.

“I set one card face down and end my turn,” said Yami.

“I summon Giant Soldier of Stone (1300/2000) in Defense Mode,” said Shadi. That ends my turn.

“I activate Raigeki, destroying all of your monsters on the field,” said Yami. Big Shield Gardna and Giant Soldier of Stone are destroyed. Then, I summon Watapon (200/300) in Defense Mode. Summoned Skull, attack his lifepoints directly! Shadi’s lifepoints drop to 4500. That’s enough for now.

“I activate Dark Hole, destroying all monsters on the field,” said Shadi. Watapon and Summoned Skull are destroyed. Next, I remove my Giant Soldier of Stone from play to summon Berformet (1400/1800) in Defense Mode. That ends my turn.

“I summon my Dark Magician by removing my Watapon and Summoned Skull from the game,” said Yami. Come forth, Dark Magician (2500/2100) in Attack Mode! Dark Magician, destroy his Berformet! Berformet is destroyed. Let’s see what you’ve got, Shadi.

“Very well,” said Shadi. Using Polymerization, I remove my Berformet and Gazelle from the game forming Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast (2100/1800) in Attack Mode. Then, I play Swords of Revealing Light to stop your attacks for three turns. That ends my move.

“I summon Queen’s Knight (1500/1600) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn.

“I summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior (1500/1800) in Defense Mode,” said Shadi. That ends my turn.

Valon’s Deck of Deadly Armor Cards (Part 4)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh…

“Time for me to end this duel!” said Valon. I remove Armed Dragon LV3 and Freezing Beast from play to summon Buster Blader (2600/2300) in Attack Mode. Buster Blader’s ATK rises to 3100 by the Oreichalkos. For every Dragon monster on the field and in me Graveyard, my monster gains 500 ATK points. Buster Blader, destroy his Swift Gaia and end this duel!

“I activate Spellbinding Circle!” said Yami. Now your Blader can’t attack as long as he is equipped to it.

“Not bad, mate,” said Valon. That ends my turn.

“I summon Dark Blade (1800/1500) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn.

“This duel’s over, mate,” said Valon. I summon Burning Knuckle (0/0) in Attack Mode. Burning Knuckle’s ATK rises to 500 by the Oreichalkos. As you know, my monster gains 200 ATK points for every Armor monster on my side of the field. Burning Knuckle’s ATK rises to 1700. Burning Knuckle, destroy his Swift Gaia!

“I activate Mirror Force, destroying all monsters on your side of the field in Attack Position. Your Armor Monsters are destroyed!

“I have to disagree,” said Valon. My Armor Monsters are immune to all Trap Cards as long as Overboost exists on the field. Mirror Force is negated. Now for the fun part, after damage calculation is over, my Burning Knuckle reduces your monster’s ATK to equal mine. Swift Gaia’s ATK drops to 1700. Make your last move.

“I end my turn,” said Yami.

“Great,” said Valon. Buster Blader, destroy his Swift Gaia!

“You’ve activated my Magic Cylinder!” said Yami. This card inflicts the ATK of your monster at our lifepoints. Valon’s lifepoints drop to 0.

“Impressive duelin’, mate,” said Valon. You’ve beaten me in a duel. Valon collapses as the Seal of Oreichalkos shrinks around him and takes his soul. Back in Dartz’s lair…

“Young Valon did well, but not as well as we had anticipated,” said Dartz.

“The Pharaoh won’t win this time,” said Raphael. We can make sure of that. You hear me, Pharaoh, we’ll defeat you once and for all!

“The battle or Atlantis is about to begin!” said Dartz. Back at the duel, Yami and Yugi walk away from the duel and discuss it.

“I’m glad that’s over,” said Yugi.

“Yes, but I fear that something much worse is in store for us,” said Yami.

“That was the first time we have ever dueled someone with Armor Cards,” said Yugi. Most if not all of the cards Valon contained I’ve never seen before.

“Neither have I,” said Yami. Shadi mysteriously appears before them.

“Yugi, it has been quite some time since we last met eye to eye,” said Shadi. I want to see if you’re capable of defeating me in a duel.

“Let’s find out,” said Yami.

“I’ll go first,” said Shadi. I summon Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1 (1400/1200) in Attack Mode. Then, I set two cards face down and end my turn.

“In fact, I can,” said Yami. I remove Celtic Guard from the game to call forth Summoned Skull (2500/1200) in Attack Mode. Summoned Skull, destroy his Gazelle!

“I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior (1600/1000) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. Then, I activate Raigeki, obliterating every monster on your side of the field, Valon.

“I don’t think so, mate,” said Valon. I activate Anti-Rageki, eradicating all monsters on your side of the field instead of me own. Breaker and Dark Magician are destroyed.

“I set three cards face down and end my turn,” said Yami.

“I summon Humanoid Slime (800/2000) in Defense Mode,” said Valon.

“That’s not an Armor monster!” said Yami.

“That may be but it has armor in the picture so it counts as one,” said Valon. Big Bang Blow, attack his lifepoints directly! Yami’s lifepoints drop to 950. Beat that, Pharaoh.

“I use Monster Reborn to resurrect my Dark Magician (2500/2100) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Dark Magician, destroy his Helping Robo! Helping Robo for Combat is destroyed.

“How did you not lose lifepoints when your monster was destroyed?” asked Yami.

“As long as Active Guard is on the field I don’t lose any lifepoints as long as it’s battle damage,” said Valon.

Next, I play Swords of Concealing Light, switching all monsters on your side of the field to face down Defense Mode. After my second turn, this card is destroyed. That ends my turn.

“I summon Armed Dragon LV3 (1200/900) in Attack Mode,” said Valon. Armed Dragon’s ATK rises to 1700 by the Seal of Oreichalkos. That ends my turn.

“Dark Magician, destroy his Armed Dragon!” said Yami. Armed Dragon LV3 is destroyed. That ends my turn.

“I summon Freezing Beast (1500/1000) in Attack Mode,” said Valon. Freezing Beast’s ATK rises to 2000 by the dark powers of the Oreichalkos. Let’s see what you’ve got! Swords of Concealing Darkness is destroyed by its effect.

“I set these two cards face down and summon Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight (2300/2100) in Attack Mode,” said Yami.

“How did ya summon that monster without makin’ a sacrifice?” asked Valon.

“Since it was the only card in my hand, I can summon him without offering a monster as a tribute,” said Yami. Swift Gaia, destroy his Freezing Beast! Freezing Beast is destroyed. That ends my turn.

“I summon Hard Armor (300/1200) in Attack Mode,” said Valon. Hard Armor’s ATK rises to 800 by the Seal. That ends my turn.

“I summon Celtic Guardian (1400/1200) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn.

“I activate Spellbinding Circle!” said Yami. Now your Blader can’t attack as long as he is equipped to it.

“Not bad, mate,” said Valon. That ends my turn.

“I summon Dark Blade (1800/1500) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn.

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh…

“I summon Psychic Armor Head (0/500) in Attack Mode,” said Valon. Psychic Armor Head’s ATK rises to 500 by the Seal of Oreichalkos. Now my Armor Head, attack his lifepoints! Yami’s lifepoints drop to 1450. Let’s see what you’ve got, kid.

“I summon Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn.

“I summon Jet Gauntlet (0/0) in Attack Mode,” said Valon. Then, I activate Morale Boost, giving us 1000 lifepoints every time we activate Spell cards, however, we lose 1000 lifepoints when those Spell Cards are destroyed. That ends my turn.

“I summon Giant Soldier of Stone (1300/2000) in Defense mode and end my turn,” said Yami.

“I summon Active Guard (0/2500) in Defense Mode,” said Valon. This duel is not over! I end my turn, Pharaoh.

“I summon Queen’s Knight (1500/1600) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn.

“I summon another Psychic Armor Head (0/500) in Attack Mode,” said Valon. That ends my turn.

“I set one monster in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Yami.

“I summon another Big Bang Blow (0/0) in Attack Mode,” said Valon. Try and get me, mate.

“I flip summon Cyber Jar (900/900)!” said Yami. Now, all monsters on the field are destroyed and we each draw five cards. Any level-4 or lower monsters we draw are summoned to the field in Attack Mode or face down Defense Mode. Big Bang Blow, Psychic Armor Head, Psychic Armor Head, Active Guard, Big Shield Gardna, Jet Gauntlet, Cyber Jar and Queen’s Knight are destroyed. I summon King’s Knight, Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts and one monster in Defense Mode thanks to Cyber Jar.

“I summon Jet Gauntlet (0/0), Psychic Armor Head (0/500), Big Bang Blow (0/0), Overboost (0/1000) and Active Guard (0/2500) all in Attack Mode thanks to your Jar’s effect. Jet Gauntlet’s ATK, Psychic Armor Head’s ATK, Big Bang Blow’s ATK, Overboost’s ATK and Active Guard’s ATK’s all rise to 500. You won’t be gettin’ by this army of Armor Monsters!

“That ends my turn, Valon,” said Yami.

“I place one card face down and end my turn,” said Valon.

“I remove my Queen’s Knight and Big Shield Gardna from play to summon Dark Magician (2500/2100) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn.

“What’s the matter, mate, don’t have the courage to face my Armor monsters head on?” asked Valon. I activate Mass Driver, allowing me to offer one monster on my side of the field to drop your lifepoints by 400. Then, I summon Helping Robo for Combat (1600/0) in Attack Mode. Helping Robo’s ATK rises to 2100 by the Oreichalkos. When my monster destroys one of your monsters in battle, I draw one card. Then, I select one card and place it on the bottom of me duelin’ deck. That ends my turn.

“I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior (1600/1000) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. Then, I activate Raigeki, obliterating every monster on your side of the field, Valon.

“I don’t think so, mate,” said Valon. I activate Anti-Rageki, eradicating all monsters on your side of the field instead of me own. Breaker and Dark Magician are destroyed.

“I set three cards face down and end my turn,” said Yami.

“I summon Humanoid Slime (800/2000) in Defense Mode,” said Valon.

“That’s not an Armor monster!” said Yami.

“That may be but it has armor in the picture so it counts as one,” said Valon. Big Bang Blow, attack his lifepoints directly!

“I summon Buster Pile (0/0) in Attack Mode,” said Valon. That ends my turn.

“I summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior (1500/1800) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Gamma, destroy Buster Pile! Buster Pile is destroyed and Valon’s lifepoints drop to 5200. That ends my turn.

“I remove my Buster Pile from the game to summon Double Cloth Armor (0/0) in Attack Mode,” said Valon. I end my turn since my monster can’t attack the turn it is summoned.

“Gamma, destroy Double Cloth Armor!” said Yami. Gamma is destroyed and Yami’s lifepoints drop to 5850 by Double Cloth Armor’s effect. Valon’s lifepoints drop to 3700 and Double Cloth Armor is destroyed by its effect. This can’t be, my monster was destroyed? How?

“Why it’s simple,” said Valon. Your Magnet Warrior attacked my Double Cloth Armor, activating its special ability, destroying your Magnet Warrior and deducting half of its ATK at your lifepoints. After damage calculation is complete, my Double Cloth Armor is destroyed.

“I set one card face down and end my turn,” said Yami.

“I activate the Spell Card Monster Reborn to revive my Big Bang Blow (0/0) in Attack Mode,” said Valon. Then, I summon Burning Knuckle (0/0) in Attack Mode. Burning Knuckle’s ATK rises to 400 by its effect. My monster gains 200 ATK points for every Armor Monster on my side of the field. Then, I activate the Seal of Oreichalkos! Burning Knuckle’s ATK rises to 900 and Big Bang Blow’s ATK rises to 500. Big Bang Blow, attack his lifepoints directly! Yami’s lifepoints drop to 5350. Burning Knuckle, damage his lifepoints! Yami’s lifepoints drop to 4450. That ends my turn.

“I remove Gamma from the game to summon Summoned Skull (2500/1200) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn. I can’t attack his Big Bang Blow.

“I summon Black Hole Shield (0/0) in Attack Mode,” said Valon. Black Hole Shield’s ATK rises to 500 by the Oreichalkos. Then, I switch my Big Bang Blow to Defense Mode. That ends my turn.

“Summoned Skull, destroy his Black Hole Shield!” said Yami. Big Bang Blow is destroyed instead by Black Hole Shield’s effect. I didn’t attack your Blow card, so how was it destroyed?

“My Armor monsters have a special ability,” said Valon. When one of them is attacked, I get to change your attack to another Armor monster on my side of the field. Thanks to Big Bang Blow’s special ability, you’ll see why they call him Big Bang Blow. When Big Bang goes to the Graveyard, every monster on the field goes to the Graveyard and the ATK of the monsters destroyed gets subtracted from their owner’s lifepoints. Summoned Skull, Black Hole Shield and Burning Knuckle are destroyed and Yami’s lifepoints drop to 1950 while Valon’s lifepoints drop to 2300.

“With that, I end my turn,” said Yami.

“I summon Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn.

“I summon Giant Soldier of Stone (1300/2000) in Defense mode and end my turn,” said Yami.

“I summon Active Guard (0/2500) in Defense Mode,” said Valon. This duel is not over!
