“I activate the spell card Monster Reborn to revive Guardian Grarl (2500/1000) in Attack Mode,” said Raphael. Guardian Grarl’s ATK increases to 3000 by the Oreichalkos. Guardian Grarl, destroy his Big Shield Gardna!

            “You’ve activated my Dust Tornado trap card,” said Yami. This card destroys one spell or trap card on the field. I will use it to destroy your Seal of Oreichalkos. Raphael laughs. The Seal remains on the field.

            “What?” asked Yami. It didn’t work?

            “The Seal can’t be destroyed by spell or trap cards,” said Raphael. Now Guardian Grarl, destroy Big Shield Gardna! Big Shield Gardna is destroyed. That ends my turn.

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

            “I activate Raigeki, which destroys every monster on your side of the field,” said Raphael. Slifer’s ATK drops to 5500.

            “You’ve triggered my trap, Anti-Raigeki, which destroys all of your monsters instead of mine,” said Yami.

            “You mean every monster except Slifer,” said Raphael. Guardian Grarl is destroyed. I set one card face down and end my turn. Slifer’s ATK drops to 4500. Although you believe in the Heart of the Cards, you sacrifice monsters when you draw a better one.

           “That is not true, Raphael!” said Yami. I care about every one of my cards.

           “Not the way I do,” said Raphael.

           “What do you mean?” asked Yami.

           “I resurrect my monsters whenever possible. I’d do any thing to keep my monsters safe. Even giving up lifepoints,” said Raphael.

           “I activate Swords of Revealing Light!” said Yami. These Swords protect me for three turns.

           “You’re just delaying your demise,” said Raphael.

           “That ends my turn,” said Yami.

           “I set one monster in Defense Mode,” said Raphael. Then I activate Spell Reproduction to send two spell cards from my hand to the Graveyard to add a spell card from the Graveyard to my hand. Then I use Call of the Haunted to bring back Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) in Attack Mode. Then I activate this card, look familiar?

           “Rod of Silence Kay’est,” said Yami.

           “That’s right,” said Raphael. Then I use Monster Reincarnation to bring back Guardian Kay’est to my hand by discarding one card from my hand. Slifer’s ATK drops to 3500. Next, I summon Guardian Kay’est in Attack Mode. Slifer’s ATK plummets to 2500.  Guardian Kay’est’s ATK rises to 1500 by the Oreichalkos. See what I mean by doing anything to protect my monsters? That ends my turn.

           “What am I going to do? His Slifer will automatically attack any monster I summon,” said Yami to himself. I end my turn.

           “I set two cards face down and end my turn,” said Raphael. Slifer’s ATK drops down to 1000. Swords of Revealing Light is destroyed since the turns are up.
