“I sacrifice my Shadow Tamer, my Makyura and my Dai Grepher to summon Obelisk the Tormentor (4000/4000) in Attack Mode,” said Gurimo. Obelisk’s ATK climbs to 4500 by the Oreichalkos.

“It’s just like the last time I faced him,” said Yami to himself.

“Obelisk, destroy his Summoned Skull!” said Gurimo.

“I activate Negate Attack!” said Yami This card puts an end to any of your attacks this turn.

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

“I switch my Summoned Skull and Gamma the Magnet Warrior to Defense Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn.

“I summon Marauding Captain (1200/400) in Attack Mode,” said Gurimo. Since I summoned him successfully, I get to summon another four-star monsters to the field. I summon Blindly Loyal Goblin (1800/1500) in Attack Mode. Marauding Captain’s ATK rises to 1700 and Blindly Loyal Goblin’s ATK rise to 2300. Once my God Card attacks, your soul is mine! Obelisk the Tormentor, destroy his Magnet Warrior! Gamma is destroyed. Marauding Captain, destroy Summoned Skull! Summoned Skull is destroyed. That’s enough for now.

“I’ve got to protect my lifepoints,” said Yami to himself. Heart of the Cards, guide me. Big Shield Gardna, great! I summon Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) in Defense Mode. Then I set one card face down to end my turn.

“That monster won’t even last this turn,” said Gurimo. I sacrifice my Marauding Captain and Blindly Loyal Goblin to activate my monster’s special ability.

“Not that!” said Yami.

“Obelisk, absorb my offered monster’s ATK’s! Obelisk’s ATK rises to 8500. Now every monster on your side of the field is destroyed. Big Shield Gardna is destroyed. Finally, you lose 4000 lifepoints.

“I don’t think so,” said Yami. I discard Kuriboh to activate its special ability, which negates any damage to my lifepoints this turn.

“I end my turn,” said Gurimo. Obelisk’s ATK returns to 4500.

“I summon Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight (2300/2100) in Attack Mode,” said Yami.

“Pharaoh, it appears you’ve broken the rules,” said Gurimo.

“What do you mean by that?” asked Yami.

“That monster requires two sacrifices,” said Gurimo.

“Not if it’s the only card in my hand,” said Yami.

“What?” asked Gurimo.

“Its special ability allows me to summon it to the field if it’s the only card in my hand,” said Yami. Next, I activate three Axes of Despairs, which together add 3000 ATK points to the monster that I choose. So Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight gets the ATK bonus. Swift Gaia’s ATK rises to 5300. Swift Gaia, destroy Obelisk now! Obelisk is destroyed and Gurimo’s lifepoints drop to 3000. Then I set one card face down and end my turn.
