āGet ready for your deepest nightmare! When you are defeated, your soul will also be sacrificed, wandering in eternal darkness!ā
Marik followed by playing another card: āMy turn is not over yet! Continuous Spell Card ā Card of Safe Return!
As long as this card is face-up on the field, whenever a monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, I can draw three cards!
Then set another card, and I end my turn! ā
Marik seemed to have deliberately made a long series of speeches of unknown significance to cover up the fact that he has played the banned card again, but Yuei Vu said that it was useless, and his eyes were still completely attracted by the continuous spellā¦
ā¦ā¦WDNMD, the referee, someone blatantly violated the rules!
The effect of the real-life Card of Safe Return was āWhen a monster is Special Summoned from your Graveyard, you can draw 1 card.ā However, even if its effect has been reduced to one-third, it was still a Thousands of Years Banned Card.
In the decks of later generations that were extremely dependent on the resources of the graveyard, it was common that a dozen monsters jumped out of the GY, this card could quickly empty the decks in one turnā¦
The opponent has more than 30 cards in their hand to play with you, keeping five or ten cards in the deck to prevent the deck out. Under such a huge card difference resource, how could you win?
Yuel Vu said in his heart that if this thing in Marikās hand was not a fake, after today this card would belong to the Vu family!
Noticing Yuei Vuās strange gaze, Marik instantly froze againāyou, hey, you still have time to crave my cards when you play cards with me?
Not just the sky dragon, why do you seem to want every card?
""
I have never seen such a lowly duelist!
āSet a card, I end my turn!ā Marik said angrily, raising the volume to remind, āItās your turn!ā
Donāt be so distracted, play!
Yuei Vu shrugged indifferently: āMy turn.ā
This kid Marik was quite good at first glance, but just staring at his card and thinking about it, this guy had a hair-triggered temper, and he didnāt have the tolerance that a leader should have.
No wonder Ghouls was disbandedā¦
āBeing able to defeat Pandora in the accomplishments of a Dark Magician master, is indeed enough to prove your level.ā Marik said coldly, āLet me see your ability to control a top magician, donāt let me down.ā
Yuei Vu smiled mysteriously.
āOkay, then keep your eyes open. From my hand, Field Spell ā Fusion Gate! As long as this card remains face-up on the field, a Fusion Monster can be Special Summoned without using āPolymerizationā!
I fuse the Elemental HERO Sparkman and the Elemental HERO Clayman in the hand!
Fusion Summon! Elemental HERO Thunder Giant! ā
The figures of the two heroes appeared one after another from the hand cards, turning into golden light and rushing into the pitch-black dimensional vortex in the sky. Thunder and lightning were released from it, strong light erupted, and the huge body in golden armor slowly descended from the black cloud, with throbbing currents all over his body.
[Elemental HERO Thunder Giant, Attack Power 2400]
Marik: ā?ā
What about the Dark Magician?
Yuei Vu smiled and said: How come you havenāt seen it before? This was the latest skin of the Dark Magician, and it only required Krypton Gold VIP Member 3 or above!
Thatās right, this time Yuei Vu is playing a HERO deck. (This time itās really a pure HERO!)
Because he has already known that the opponent would use Egyptian God, which the current Dark Magician deck was not very easy to deal with.
The resistance of Egyptian Gods was too strong. Although the animation has never given a detailed text description, the effect can be roughly inferred from the actual performance in each duel.
The Egyptian Gods were basically not affected by the Trap effect (BISS was not counted).
They were only affected by the effects of DIVINE monsters or level 10 or higher monsters, but only for one turn.
Spell Cards, including Monster Reborn, was able to affect them for one turn. This was why they returned to the Graveyard at the End Phase if they were Special Summoned from there.
Moreover, they were unaffected by effects that would directly remove them from the side of the field of their controller. After all, the dignified Egyptian Gods were the apex of dueling monsters. If they could be simply solved by a Dark Hole, it would be too cheapā¦
(Dark Hole (Spell Card) ā Destroy all monsters on the field.)
""
Theoretically speaking, Egyptian Gods needed three sacrifices. It should not be so easy to summon in this era. However, looking at the animations of Yu-Gi-Oh, no matter how harsh or complicated the summoning conditions of the villainās ace monsters were, it seemed that there has never been one who couldnāt summon their ace before being beaten by the protagonistā¦
Therefore, to be cautious, Yuei Vu decided to duel on the premise that āthe other party can summon Osiris the Sky Dragonā.
Compared to the Dark Magician deck which was almost powerless against the sky dragon, it was more suitable for this duel to use the HERO deck.
Marik hummed: āBut Fusion monsters cannot attack during the turn it was summoned.ā
āI know, but such conditions do not bind the monster effect.ā Yuei Vu said, āThunder Giantās effect is activated! Discard a card from my hand and destroy 1 monster on the field with original ATK less than the ATK of this card!ā
He didnāt summon the Thunder Giant casually. Yuei Vu, who has watched the animation, knew that Marik has a Continous Trap called āJam Defenderā, which could add a taunting effect to the Revival Jam, forcing the opponent to only attack the regenerating slime.
However, the effect of Thunder Giant should be able to destroy the tokens on the field, so Marik would not be able to gather the three sacrifices to summon the gods in the next turn.
āThunder Giant!ā Yuei Vu discarded a card into the graveyard, āDestroy the Slime Token!ā
āOpen the set card!ā Marik acted quickly, āContinous Trap Card ā Jam Defender! All the opponentās attacks will be borne by the Revival Jam!ā
It was exactly as he expected!
āUseless!ā Yuei Vu said, āThis is not an attack, but the monster effect of the Thunder Giant! Destroyā¦
ā¦ā¦! ! ? ? ā
""
With a dazed look, Yuei Vu saw the Revival Jam sway and flashed onto the trajectory of the lightning released by the Thunder Giant, and was blown to ashes by the lightning.
Immediately after the effect of regenerating slime was activated, the blasted fragments were quickly attracted to each other, condensed together, and reshaped into that soft and disgusting mass.
Marik drew three cards due to the effect of the āCard of Safe Returnā.
Yuei Vu: ā???ā
No, Wait a minute, why can you block even when I activate the monster effect?
You tell me this is not a BISS?
Then he carefully looked at the words on the trap card on Marikās field. It said, āall the opponentās attacks will be borne by the Revival Jamā.
It seems a little different from the description on the actual cardā¦
In other words, effect destruction was also considered an āattackā?
I am so stupidā¦
Yuei Vu even deeply doubted whether the person who printed this card would write such an ambiguous effect on purpose just for the sake of convenience.
But after such a toss, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a similar scene in the animeā¦
ā¦Yugi: āI activate the Magic Cylinder to bounce back the attack of the Osiris the Sky Dragon, and the sky dragon will be destroyed!ā (animation effect)
Marik: āTraps are useless to God!ā
Yugi: āBut what the Magic Cylinder reflects is Godās own attack, and Godās own power is effective!ā
Marik: āOkay, then I use the effect of the Trap Card āJam Defenderā to block the attack with the Revival Jam!ā
Yugi: āWTF! The Magic Cylinder is a damaging effect, not an attack. Your slime canāt block it!ā
Marik: āHa! But you just said that the Magic Cylinder is āreflecting Godās attackā, so itās still an attack! Revival Jam, goes up to block it for me!ā
Yugi:āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
Hmmā¦ So it seemed that being Yugi was not easy.
Thinking about it this way, Yugi vs Marik couldnāt be called a duel at all. Itās a fight between godsā¦
