“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.
