Kaiba’s Newest Monsters (Part 3)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh...

“I summon this creature, Alpha the Magnet Warrior (1400/1700) in Attack Mode,” said Yami.

“It can’t be! You have all 3 cards?” asked Kaiba.

“Indeed,” said Yami. And, I offer my 3 Magnet Warriors as a tribute to summon the all-powerful Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (3500/3850) in Attack Mode. Valkyrion has appeared! I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (0)

“My turn,” said Kaiba. I activate my Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards from my deck. Next, I set 1 card face down and summon Vorse Raider (1900/1200) in Attack Mode. Your move, Yugi! (0)

What’s he up to? Vorse Raider is weaker than my Magna Warrior... unless he has a way to weaken Valkyrion’s ATK points! My Move. Valkyrion, destroy his Vorse Raider and end this duel!

“Not so fast!” said Kaiba. I activate Shadow Spell! This card lowers your monsters ATK strength by 700 and prevents it from attacking or from changing its Battle Position. Valkyrion’s ATK drops to 2800. Now, there is no way you can defeat me, Yugi! Kaiba laughs. Make your move!

“I activate Heavy Storm, destroying all Spell and Trap Cards on the field,” said Yami. Shadow Spell is destroyed and Valkyrion’s ATK returns to 3500. Valkyrion, destroy his Vorse Raider! This duel is over, Kaiba! Vorse Raider is destroyed and Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 0. Weevil and Rex spot Yugi and the gang and dash over.

“Oh Wheeler, come out, come out where ever you are,” said Rex.

“Who said that?” asked Joey.

“Ah, Wheeler, I want a rematch with you!” said Rex.

“And I want a rematch with you, Yugi,” said Weevil. Ishizu and Odeon see this and run over, while Marik stays behind.

“Marik, aren’t you coming?” asked Ishizu.

“Of course,” said Marik. Why wouldn’t I?

“Yugi, it’s time to duel!” said Weevil.

“All right, let’s duel!” said Yugi, activating the Millennium Puzzle and transforming into Yami.

“I’ll start off with Jirai Gumo (2200/100) in Attack Mode,” said Weevil. Then, I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (4)

“I summon Obnoxious Celtic Guard (1400/1200) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. Next, I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (3)

“I set 1 monster in Defense Mode,” said Weevil. Then, I reveal my face down card, DNA Surgery, allowing me to change all monsters to Insect Monsters.  Next, I play my Insect Barrier, blocking all of your insect attacks. I’ve just created the ultimate defense against your attacks. Weevil laughs. That ends my turn. (3)

“I sacrifice my Celtic Guard to summon Archfiend of Gilfer (2200/2500) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Then, I reveal my face down card, Dust Tornado, which destroys 1 Spell or Trap Card on the field. Say goodbye to your DNA Surgery! DNA is destroyed. Next, I shall activate Swords of Revealing Light, preventing you from attacking me or my monsters for the next 3 turns. That ends my turn. (1)

“I activate  Forest, boosting the ATK and DEF of all Insect, Plant, Beast and Beast-Warrior Monsters by 200 points. Jirai Gumo’s stats become (2500/400) Jirai Gumo, destroy his monster!

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh...

“VW, finish him off!” said Kaiba.

“I activate Mirror Force!” said Yami. Say goodbye to your Catapult Cannon!

“I don’t think so, Yugi,” said Kaiba. I activate Seven Tools of the Bandit! For the price of 1000 lifepoints, your Mirror Force is negated. Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 1300 and Mirror Force is negated. VW-Dragon Catapult Cannon, destroy his Jack’s Knight!

“I activate Raigeki Break!” said Yami. I must discard 1 card from my hand, but, in exchange, your Cannon is destroyed. VWXYZ is destroyed.

“You’ve triggered my Call of the Haunted, allowing me to revive 1 monster from my Graveyard in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. I choose X-Head Cannon. Finally, I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (0)

“My move,” said Yami. I activate Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw twice. Next, I summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior (1500/1800) in Defense Mode. Jack’s Knight, destroy his X-Head Cannon! X-Head Cannon and Call of the Haunted are destroyed and Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 2200. Attack his lifepoints, King’s Knight! Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 600. Finally, that ends my turn.

“I summon Blade Knight (1600/1000) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Blade Knight’s ATK rises to 2000 by its effect.

“How did your monster’s ATK points increase?” asked Yami.

“If I have 1 or less cards in my hand, Blade Knight gains 400 ATK points thanks to its special ability,” said Kaiba. Blade Knight, destroy his Jack’s Knight! Jack’s Knight is destroyed and Yami’s lifepoints drop to 600. That ends my turn. (0)

“Very well,” said Yami. I summon Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700/1600) in Defense Mode. Then, I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (1)

“To begin my turn, I reveal my face down card, Jar of Greed, allowing me to draw 1 card,” said Kaiba. Next, I sacrifice Blade Knight to summon Kaiser Glider (2400/2200) in Attack Mode. Kaiser, destroy his Gamma the Magnet Warrior!

“I activate Spellbinding Circle!” said Yami. As long as your Kaiser Glider is equipped to my Trap Card, it is forbidden to attack.

“All you’re doing is delaying your demise,” said Kaiba.

“That may be, but with your mind controlled by hatred, I can’t lose,” said Yami.

“You’re so naive, Yugi,” said Kaiba. I end my turn.

“I summon this creature, Alpha the Magnet Warrior (1400/1700) in Attack Mode,” said Yami.

“It can’t be! You have all 3 cards?” asked Kaiba.

“Indeed,” said Yami. And, I offer my 3 Magnet Warriors as a tribute to summon the all-powerful Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (3500/3850) in Attack Mode. Valkyrion has appeared! I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (0)

“You didn’t count on this, Magic Jammer,” said Yami. All I have to do is sacrifice 1 card from my hand and your Shrink card is negated, Kaiba.

“Figures,” said Kaiba. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (2)

Bakura’s Revenge (Part 3)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh...

Come on, Heart of the Cards, guide me... Yes! Just what I need!

“Draw whatever card you like, it doesn’t matter what you draw because after your turn, I win thanks to Destiny Board,” said Bakura.

“Not even Mystical Space Typhoon?” asked Yami. I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy you Destiny Board!

“It can’t be!” said Bakura.

“I’m afraid it can,” said Yami. Destiny Board is destroyed. And since your “I”, “N”, “A” and “L” can only be activated when Destiny Board is on the field, they are destroyed as well. Spirit Messages “I”, “N” and “A” are destroyed. Next, I summon Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) in Defense Mode. Make your move, Bakura.

            “As you wish,” said Bakura. I activate the magic of Ectoplasmer. At the end of our turns, we must offer 1 monster on our side of the field as a tribute at the end of our turns and half of the tributed monster’s ATK points are subtracted from the opposing duelist’s lifepoints. Next, I offer Headless Knight as a tribute to call forth Puppet Master (0/0) in Defense Mode. To end my turn, I offer my monster as a tribute. Soon, I’ll banish you to the Shadow Realm for all eternity!

“All right, my move,” said Yami. I summon Breaker, the Magical Warrior (1600/1000) in Attack Mode. Breaker, attack his lifepoints! Bakura’s lifepoints drop to 200. I offer my Big Shield Gardna as a tribute to end my turn. Bakura’s lifepoints drop to 150.

“It’s time for me to end this duel, Yugi,” said Bakura. I play Dark Hole, sending all monsters on the field to the Graveyard. Breaker and Headless Knight are destroyed. Next, I summon Dragon Zombie (1600/0) in Defense Mode. I end my turn by sacrificing Dragon Zombie.  Yami’s lifepoints drop to 3000. Do your worst, Yugi!

“Very well,” said Yami. I summon Gazelle, the King of Mythical Beasts (1500/1200) in Attack Mode. Gazelle, wipe him out! Bakura’s lifepoints drop to 0.

“You may have beaten me this time, but I will be back!” said Bakura. Just then, Kaiba spots Yugi.

“Humph, I should have known you geeks would be patrolling my streets,” said Kaiba.

“Enough!” said Yami.

“Where’s the rest of the dork parade?” asked Kaiba.

“Your insults have gone way out of hand!” said Yami. It’s time to duel!

“Fine,” said Kaiba. I’ll start off with V-Tiger Jet (1600/1800) in Attack Mode. (Note: any monster from the newer sets from Cybernetic Revolution onwards that is any type of monster i.e. Ritual, Fusion, etc, etc. will be highlighted in 1 color (except Yellow) and their type in another non-highlighted color. Example: Winged Kuriboh LV 10 will be written like this: Winged Kuriboh LV 10.  Effect monsters will be written exactly like Winged Kuriboh LV 10.

“I’ve never seen that monster before,” said Yami.

“I set 2 cards face down and end my turn,” said Kaiba. (3) (Note at the end of each player’s turn, I will show how many cards in his or her hand to avoid confusion.)

“I summon Celtic Guardian (1400/1200) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. That shall end my turn (5) “I summon W-Wing Catapult (1300/1500) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Now, my Catapult, destroy his Celtic Guardian! Celtic Guardian is destroyed. V-Tiger Jet, attack directly! Yami’s lifepoints drop to 2400. Let’s see what’s in your puny deck now. (3)

“I activate Swords of Revealing Light, stopping all of your attacks for 3 turns,” said Yami. Then, I summon Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700/1600) in Attack Mode. Beta, destroy his Wing Catapult!

“I activate Ring of Destruction!” said Kaiba. Say goodbye to your Magnet Warrior, Yugi!

Bakura’s Revenge (Part 2)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh...

“Apparently, you’re unaware of Dark Necrofear’s hidden ability,” said Bakura. The only way to summon this creature is to remove 3 Fiend-Type monsters from my Graveyard.

“So it is considered a Special Summon?” asked Yami.

“That is correct,” said Bakura. Dark Necrofear, destroy his Dark Magician Girl!

“You’ve activated my Magic Cylinder!” said Yami. Your monster’s ATK strength is taken out of your lifepoints. Bakura’s lifepoints drop to 1800.  

“I end my turn,” said Bakura.

“I set 1 monster in Defense Mode,” said Yami. Then, I set 1 card face down and end my turn.

“By the way, I forgot to mention that I have to pay 900 lifepoints for Shadowknight’s effect. Bakura’s lifepoints drop to 900. Next, since your turn’s done, I activate Spirit Message “N”. Then, I sacrifice my monster to summon Dark Ruler Ha Des (2450/1600) in Attack Mode.

“You’ve activated my Trap Hole!” said Yami. This Trap destroys any monster with an ATK of 1000 or more when summoned. Ha Des is destroyed.

“Dark Necrofear, destroy his Magician!” said Bakura. Dark Magician Girl is destroyed and Yami’s lifepoints drop to 3800. Once I defeat you, you will be trapped in the Dark Abyss! I set 1 card face down and end my turn.

“All right,” said Yami. I activate Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw 2 cards. Next, I activate Monster Reborn, and I use it to revive my Dark Magician (2500/2100), whom you sent to my Graveyard when Card Destruction was activated. Dark Magician, attack his lifepoints directly!

“You’ve activated my Widespread Ruin Trap Card!” said Bakura.

“What is that?” asked Yami.

“This card destroys the monster with the highest ATK strength on your side of the field. Dark Magician is destroyed.

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

“Then, I get to activate the next letter, Spirit Message “A”,” said Bakura.

Only 1 letter left! We must defeat him next turn!

“There’s no way you can defeat me, Yugi,” said Bakura. At the end of your next turn, I win. Bakura laughs. Anyway, it’s my move now. I summon Headless Knight (1450/1700) in Defense Mode. Then, I set 1 card face down and end my turn.

Come on, Heart of the Cards, guide me. Yes! Just what I need!

“Draw whatever card you like, it doesn’t matter what you draw because after your turn, I win thanks to Destiny Board,” said Bakura.

“Not even Mystical Space Typhoon?” asked Yami. I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy you Destiny Board!

“It can’t be!” said Bakura.

“I’m afraid it can,” said Yami. Destiny Board is destroyed. And since your “I”, “N”, “A” and “L” can only be activated when Destiny Board is on the field, they are destroyed as well. Spirit Messages “I”, “N” and “A” are destroyed. Next, I summon Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) in Defense Mode. Make your move, Bakura.

“As you wish,” said Bakura. I activate the magic of Ectoplasmer. At the end of our turns, we must offer 1 monster on our side of the field as a tribute and half of the tributed monster’s ATK points are subtracted from the opposing duelist’s lifepoints. Next, I offer Headless Knight as a tribute to call forth Puppet Master (0/0) in Defense Mode. To end my turn, I offer my monster as a tribute. Soon, I’ll banish you to the Shadow Realm for all eternity!

To be continued...

 

 

Bakura’s Revenge (Part 1)

“Yugi, time for me to banish you to the Shadow Realm!” said Bakura. Since we got cut off from our duel from the previous tournament, let’s start over.

“Fine,” said Yami.

“I’ll start,” said Bakura. I summon Sangan (1000/600) in Defense Mode. Then, I set 1 card face down and end my turn.

Sangan is a weak defense, making it easy to destroy. (Note: To identify a person’s thoughts, I’ve decided to color code their thoughts as follows: Yami: Blue, Joey: Green, Kaiba: Bright Green, Ryou Bakura: Light Orange, Yami Marik: Red, Marik: Sky Blue, Tristan: Dark Red, Serenity: Gold, etc, etc.) I summon Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700/1600) in Attack Mode. Beta, destroy his monster!

“You’ve just triggered my Trap Card, Destiny Board!” said Bakura. At the end of your turn, Destiny Board allows me to activate the next letter of the message, and speaking of letters, the first letter is “F”. Sangan is still destroyed.

“This is the same strategy you used on me before,” said Yami.

“Yes, and this time it will lead me to victory,” said Bakura. Thanks to Sangan, I get add 1 monster with an ATK strength if 1500 or lower to my hand.

“I shall place 1 card face down and end my turn,” said Yami.

“I summon The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams (1300/1800) in Defense Mode,” said Bakura. Try to destroy this monster!

“Very well,” said Yami. I sacrifice my Magnet Warrior to summon Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700) in Attack Mode. Dark Magician Girl, destroy his monster!

“He took my bait once again.” Gross Ghost is destroyed.

“That ends my turn,” said Yami.

“My turn,” said Bakura. Before my turn begins, I play Spirit Message “I”. Only 3 letters left! I summon Shadowknight Archfiend (2000/1600) in Attack Mode. Then, I activate Card Destruction, forcing both players to throw out their hands and draw from their decks until they have the same number of cards in their hands that they discarded. Next, I remove my Earl of Demise, sent to the Graveyard by Card Destruction, Gross Ghost and Sangan from the game to call forth Dark Necrofear (2200/2800) in Attack Mode.

“Hold on, that’s 2 monsters in 1 turn! The rules state that only 1 Normal Summon per turn unless otherwise stated,” said Yami.

“Apparently, you’re unaware of Dark Necrofear’s hidden ability,” said Bakura. The only way to summon this creature is to remove 3 Fiend-Type monsters from my Graveyard.

“So it is considered a Special Summon?” asked Yami.

“That is correct,” said Bakura. Dark Necrofear, destroy his Dark Magician Girl!

“You’ve activated my Magic Cylinder!” said Yami. Your monster’s ATK strength is taken out of your lifepoints. Bakura’s lifepoints drop to 1800.  

“I end my turn,” said Bakura.

“I set 1 monster in Defense Mode,” said Yami. Then, I set 1 card face down and end my turn.

“By the way, I forgot to mention that I have to pay 900 lifepoints for Shadowknight’s effect. Bakura’s lifepoints drop to 900. Next, since your turn’s done, I activate Spirit Message “N”. Then, I sacrifice my monster to summon Dark Ruler Ha Des (2450/1600) in Attack Mode.

“You’ve activated my Trap Hole!” said Yami. This Trap destroys any monster with an ATK of 1000 or more when summoned. Ha Des is destroyed.

“Dark Necrofear, destroy his Magician!” said Bakura. Dark Magician Girl is destroyed and Yami’s lifepoints drop to 3800. Once I defeat you, you will be trapped in the Dark Abyss!

To be continued...

 

 

The Tournament Continues

“Now let’s get on with this tournament!” said Kaiba. Suddenly, the gang sees Bakura walking down the street.

“Yugi, time to make you pay for defeating me in Battle City,” said Bakura.

Flashback (begin)

Bakura: So if you want to use your Egyptian God Card, Yugi, why don’t you use it on me right now?

Yami: All right, now, go, Slifer the Sky Dragon, attack!

Bakura: Yugi’s won this round, but I’ll be back.

Flashback (end)

“Let’s get on with this duel,” said Bakura. I set 1 card in Defense Mode. That ends my turn.

“I also set 1 card in Defense Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn as well.

“I reveal my face down card, Sangan (1000/600),” said Bakura. Next, I set another card in Defense Mode and end my turn.

“I flip summon, Celtic Guardian (1400/1200) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Then, I set 1 card in Defense Mode. Celtic Guardian, destroy his Sangan! Sangan is destroyed and Bakura’s lifepoints drop to 3600.

“Now I get to add a card with an ATK of 1500 or less, that includes Spell and Trap Cards, since thy have 0 ATK points even though they are normally not considered monsters,” said Bakura. Before I can choose my card, I must remove all monsters in my deck with over 1500 ATK points. The cards are returned to the deck once the card has been chosen, without looking, that is and the deck is shuffled afterwards. All right, I’ve chosen my monster and my deck is shuffled. Now, finish your turn!

“I end my turn,” said Yami.

“I reveal my face down card, Dark Necrofear (2200/2800) in Attack Mode,” said Bakura. Next, I set 1 monster in Defense Mode. Dark Necrofear, destroy his Celtic Guardian! Celtic Guardian is destroyed and Yami’s lifepoints drop to 3200. That ends my turn.

“I reveal my face down card, Man-Eater Bug (450/600),” said Yami. First, I set 1 monster in Defense Mode. Next, using the effect of Man-Eater Bug, I destroy your Necrofear! Dark Necrofear is destroyed. That ends my turn. 

“Your pitiful bug is about to be squashed by my face down card, Dark Ruler Ha Des (2450/1600) in Attack Mode. Next, I set 1 monster in Defense Mode. Dark Ruler, destroy his Man-Eater! Man-Eater is destroyed and Yami’s lifepoints drop to 1200. That ends my turn.

“I reveal my face down monster, the Sorcerer of Dark Magic (3200/2800),” said Yami. Next, I set 1 monster in Defense Mode. Now my Sorcerer, destroy his Ha Des! Ha Des is destroyed and Bakura’s lifepoints drop to 2850. That ends my turn.

“I reveal my face down card, The Earl of Demise (2000/700),” said Bakura. Next, I set another monster in Defense Mode. Earl of Demise, destroy his face down card! The face down Giant Soldier of Stone (1300/2000) is not destroyed. That ends my turn.

“I set 1 card in Defense Mode,” said Yami. Sorcerer, destroy his Earl of Demise! Earl of Demise is destroyed and Bakura’s lifepoints drop to 1650. That shall end my turn.

“I reveal my card...started Bakura. Suddenly, Kaiba makes an unexpected appearance.

“Fellow duelists, due to how dull and boring this tournament has become, I’ve decided to cancel the remains of this tournament and start a new one,” said Kaiba.  The new tournament is...Normal! That means that this is a regular Duel Monsters Tournament. Now, get out there and duel! Meanwhile, Bakura is lurking around.

“It’s time that I defeat Yugi Muto once and for all!” said Bakura. I’ll make sure I am the victor and he is the loser. Bakura laughs. Elsewhere in Battle City...

“Well, time to go find someone to duel with!” said Yugi.

 

 

 

The Wrath of Noah and the Big Five (Part 10)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh...

“I summon Mirage Dragon (1600/600) in Defense Mode,” said Lector. Then, I set 2 cards face down and end my turn.

“I activate Call of the Haunted to revive Dark Magician in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Next, I activate Magical Scientists’ effect again. Yami’s lifepoints drop to 200. I summon the Flame Swordsman (1800/1600) to the field in Attack Mode. Next, I fuse my 2 monsters together using Polymerization to form Dark Flare Knight (2200/800) in Defense Mode.  That ends my turn.

“I switch Mirage Dragon to Attack Mode,” said Lector. Mirage Dragon, destroy his Dark Flare Knight! Flare Knight is destroyed. That ends my turn

“Thanks for destroying Dark Flare Knight,” said Yami. That’s exactly what I hoped you’d do. Thanks to Dark Flare Knight’s ability, I get to summon Mirage Knight to the field in his place. Say hello to Mirage Knight (2800/2000)! Mirage Knight, destroy his Mirage Dragon! Mirage Knight’s ATK rises to 4400 by its effect.

“How did your monster’s ATK strength increase, Mr. Muto?” asked Lector.

“When my monster attacks one of your monsters, his ATK gets increased by the attacked monsters’ original ATK points. Mirage Dragon is destroyed and Lector’s lifepoints drop to 700 but then rise to 1500 by his Deck Master’s effect. That ends my turn. Mirage Knight vanishes. At the end of my turn that my monster declared an attack, it is removed from the game.

“You made a fine effort, but, that effort wasn’t good enough to defeat me,” said Lector. I activate Cost Down, reducing the level of my monsters on my hand by 2. Now, I summon Jinzo (2400/1500) in Attack Mode. Let’s see you get out of this!  

“I summon Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700/1600) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Next, I activate the special ability of my Deck Master, by discarding 1 card to the Graveyard, Beta can attack you directly. Go, my Magnet Warrior, direct attack!

“I activate Emergency Provisions,” said Lector. By sending 1 or more of my Spell or Trap Cards to the Graveyard, my lifepoints increase by 1000 per Spell or Trap Card destroyed. I destroy both of my face down cards, giving me 2000 more lifepoints. Lector’s lifepoints rise to 3500, then drop to 1800.

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

“Jinzo, destroy his Magnet Warrior and wipe out his lifepoints!” said Lector.

“I activate Offerings to the Doomed!” said Yami. This card destroys 1 monster on the field at a cost of skipping my next Draw Phase. Goodbye to your Jinzo! Jinzo is destroyed. Lector’s lifepoints rise to 3000 by his Deck Master’s effect.

“I set 1 card face down and end my turn,” said Lector.

“I activate Mystical Space Typhoon!” said Yami This card destroys 1 Spell or Trap Card on the field. Say goodbye to your face down card!

“I activate Magic Jammer!” said Lector. This card negates your Typhoon at a cost of 1 card from my hand to the Graveyard. Mystical Space Typhoon is negated.

“I summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior (1500/1800) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Beta, attack his lifepoints! Lector’s lifepoints drop to 1300. Gamma, finish him off! Lector’s lifepoints drop to 0.

“To make up for this fool’s loss, I will now step in,” said Nesbitt.

“I don’t think so!” said Noah. I have had it with the 5 of you! You expect me to believe you’ll defeat Joseph Wheeler, Nesbitt? Not a chance! The five of you are now to be trapped here for the rest of eternity! Be gone! The Big 5 dissipate from the Virtual World.

“You 5 haven’t seen the last of me!” said Noah. Noah disappears and the gang is returned to the Real World.

“All right, now that that nonsense is over with, let the tournament continue!” said Kaiba.

“I sacrifice my Big Shield Gardna and my Queen’s Knight to summon Dark Magician (2500/2100) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Next, I offer my Magicians as a tribute to summon Sorcerer of Dark Magic (3200/2800) in Attack Mode.

“You’re down to 3500 lifepoints thanks to Ultimate Offering,” said Lector.

“I don’t think so,” said Yami. My Sorcerer is a Special Summon; therefore, I can summon him without paying. Sorcerer, destroy his Spear Dragon! Spear Dragon is destroyed and Lector’s lifepoints drop to 2550 then rise to 3500 by his Deck Master’s effect. That ends my turn.

“I activate Call of the Haunted to revive my Spear Dragon,” said Lector. Next, I activate my Polymerization Spell Card. By offering my Dragon monsters, I can summon the ultimate monster.

“Not Mythic Dragon!” wailed Yami.

“Oh yes,” said Lector. I offer my Dragons as a tribute to summon the almighty Mythic Dragon (5000/5000) in Attack Mode. Mythic Dragon, destroy his Sorcerer of Dark Magic! It’s all over Mr. Muto. My Mythic Dragon is the last monster you will ever see and it is the very monster that will wipe out your lifepoints! Sorcerer of Dark Magic is destroyed and Yami’s lifepoints drop to 2200. Give me your best shot!

“All right,” said Yami. I will! I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Dark Magician in Defense Mode. Then, I summon Magical Scientist (300/300) in Defense Mode. That ends my turn.

“Mythic Dragon, destroy his Dark Magician!” said Lector.

“I still have one card left,” said Yami. I activate Mirror Force! This card destroys all monsters on your side of the field in Attack Position. Mythic Dragon is destroyed.

“I guarantee that you’ll pay for crushing my Mythic Dragon, Mr. Muto,” said Lector. I end my turn.

“I activate Graceful Charity, allowing me to draw 3 cards and then discard 2 afterwards,” said Yami. Excellent, this is just what I need! I activate Card of Sanctity, allowing us to draw from our decks until we have 6 cards in our hands. (Note: there were 2 different versions of this card; one has the exact effect as on the show, which is both players draw until they each have 6 cards in both player’s hands, and the other, now available in The Lost Millennium, has this effect or something similar: Remove all cards from your side of the field and hand from play. Draw from your deck until you have 2 cards in your hand.) Then, I activate the effect of Magical Scientist, allowing me to summon a level-6 or lower Fusion Monster from my Fusion Deck to the field for a cost of 1000 lifepoints. Yami’s lifepoints drop to 1200. Meet Dark Flare Knight in Attack Mode! Then, I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. Dark Flare Knight disappears from the field. My monster returns to the Fusion Deck at the end of my turn by Scientist’s effect.

“I summon Mirage Dragon (1600/600) in Defense Mode,” said Lector. Then, I set 2 cards face down and end my turn.

“I activate Call of the Haunted to revive Dark Magician in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Next, I activate Magical Scientist’s effect again. Yami’s lifepoints drop to 200. I summon the Flame Swordsman (1800/1600) to the field in Attack Mode. Next, I fuse my 2 monsters together using Polymerization to form Dark Flare Knight (2200/800) in Defense Mode.  That ends my turn.

“I switch Mirage Dragon to Attack Mode,” said Lector. Mirage Dragon, destroy his Dark Flare Knight! Flare Knight is destroyed. That ends my turn.

“Thanks for destroying Dark Flare Knight,” said Yami. That’s exactly what I hoped you’d do. Thanks to Dark Flare Knight’s ability, I get to summon Mirage Knight to the field in his place. Mirage Knight, destroy his Mirage Dragon!

“I’ll start this duel,” said Yami. I summon Giant Soldier of Stone (1300/2000) in Defense Mode. Then, I set 2 cards face down and end my turn.

“I summon Luster Dragon (1900/1200) in Attack Mode,” said Lector. Then, I set 1 card face down and end my turn.

“I sacrifice my Soldier to summon Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700) in Attack Mode,” said Yami.

“You’ve just triggered my Solemn Wishes Trap Card,” said Lector. I gain 500 lifepoints whenever I draw 1 or more cards.

“Dark Magician Girl, destroy his Luster Dragon!” said Yami. Luster Dragon is destroyed and Lector’s lifepoints drop to 3900 but then rise to 4850 by his Deck Master’s effect. Next, I reveal my face down card, Raigeki Break! This card destroys 1 card on the field at a cost of 1 card from my hand to the Graveyard. Your Solemn Wishes is gone! Solemn Wishes is destroyed. Next, I activate Swords of Revealing Light!

“Let me guess, my monsters can’t attack for 3 of my turns?” asked Lector.

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

“I set 1 card face down and summon Komori Dragon (1500/1200) in Defense Mode,” said Lector. That ends my turn.

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

“I activate Ultimate Offering,” said Lector. This card allows us to summon or set additional monsters. For each monster we summon or set, it costs us 500 lifepoints. I summon another Luster Dragon (1900/1600) in Attack Mode. Then, I summon Spear Dragon (1900/0) in Attack Mode by my card’s effect. Lector’s lifepoints drop to 4350. Next, I play Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards. Then, I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. Swords of Revealing Light is destroyed by its effect.

“I activate Pot of Greed, letting me draw 2 cards from my deck,” said Yami. Next, I summon Queen’s Knight (1500/1600) in Defense Mode. Then, I set 1 card face down and end my turn.

“I summon Spirit Ryou (1000/1000) in Defense Mode,” said Lector. Next, I use the effect of Ultimate Offering to summon Pitch-Dark Dragon (900/600) in Defense Mode. Lector’s lifepoints drop to 3850. Make your move!

“I sacrifice my Big Shield Gardna and my Queen’s Knight to summon Dark Magician (2500/2100) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Next, I offer my Magicians as a tribute to summon Sorcerer of Dark Magic (3200/2800) in Attack Mode.

“You’re down to 3500 lifepoints thanks to Ultimate Offering,” said Lector.

“I don’t think so,” said Yami. My Sorcerer is a Special Summon; therefore, I can summon him without paying. Sorcerer, destroy his Spear Dragon! Spear Dragon is destroyed and Lector’s lifepoints drop to 2550 then rise to 3500 by his Deck Master’s effect. That ends my turn.

“I activate Call of the Haunted to revive my Spear Dragon,” said Lector. Next, I activate my Polymerization Spell Card. By offering my Dragon monsters, I can summon the ultimate monster.

“Not Mythic Dragon!” wailed Yami.

“Oh yes,” said Lector. I offer my Dragons as a tribute to summon the almighty Mythic Dragon (5000/5000) in Attack Mode. Mythic Dragon, destroy his Sorcerer of Dark Magic! It’s all over Mr. Muto. My Mythic Dragon is the last monster you will ever see and it is the very monster that will wipe out your lifepoints!
