Tag-Team Shadow Duel (1)

Previously…

             “Allow me to explain the rules of this double duel,” said (Bakura). Like any old duel, we all start with 8000 LPs and the first team to lose is banished to the Shadow Realm for eternity.

            “The order is as follows,” said (Marik). Bakura, Syrus, Jaden then myself.

            “Yes, and let this double duel commence!” said (Bakura). I summon Kryuel (1700) in Defense Mode. Then I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (4)

            “I summon Drillroid (1600) in Attack Mode,” said Syrus. Then, I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (3)

            “Time to throw down!” said Jaden. I summon Dark Catapulter (1500) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (5)

            “I summon Melchid the Four-Face Beast (1500) in Attack Mode,” said (Marik). Then, I set 3 cards face down and end my turn. (2)

            “I summon The Bistro Butcher (1800) in Attack Mode,” said (Bakura). Now my Butcher, destroy his Drillroid!

            “I activate Magic Cylinder, inflicting the ATK of your Monster on your LPs!” said Syrus.

            “I activate my face down card, Skill Drain,” said (Bakura). After paying 1000 LPs, my card negates the effects of all Effect Monsters on our fields. (Bakura’s) LPs drop to 7000, then to 5200 from Magic Cylinder’s effect. If you think you’re ahead, you had better reconsider! I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (3)

            “I tribute Drillroid for UFOroid (1200) in Attack Mode,” said Syrus. Next, I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Skill Drain. Skill Drain is destroyed. Finally, I activate Vehicroid Connection Zone. By sending my Fusion Material Monsters to my Graveyard that are used for a Vehicroid Fusion Monster from my Fusion Deck. I send Gyroid and Steamroid to my Graveyard to summon Steam Gyroid (2200) in Attack Mode. Steam Gyroid, destroy Bistro Butcher!

            “I activate Bark of the Dark Ruler!” said (Bakura). Since a Fiend Monster on my field is battling your Monster, I get to pay any multiple of 100 LPs to reduce your Monster’s ATK and DEF by the amount. I pay 500 LPs. (Bakura’s) LPs drop to 4800, Steam Gyroid’s ATK drops to 1700 and is destroyed, reducing Syrus’ LPs to 7900.

            “My Monster shouldn’t have been destroyed!” said Syrus.

            “Apparently you are unaware that when a Monster with less ATK attacks a Monster with more ATK points than that Monster, the opposing Monster is destroyed,” said (Bakura).

            “I set 1 card face down and end my turn,” said Syrus. (0)

            “Alright here goes somethin’,” said Jaden. I summon Elemental Hero Clayman (2000) in Defense Mode. Then I throw down a face down and end my turn. (4)

            “Now it’s my move and I summon Drillago (1600) in Attack Mode,” said (Marik). Drillago, attack little Syrus directly!

            “I activate Forbidden Entry!” said Syrus. (Note: Forbidden Entry is what I’ll call this card instead of its Japanese name.) This card lets me switch Drillago to Defense Mode and send 1 of the cards in your hand to your Graveyard.

            “Is that so?” asked (Marik). I have to disagree. Reveal face down card Staunch Defender!

            “What’s that do?” asked Syrus.

            “It allows me to redirect your Trap’s target to my Four Face Beast,” said (Marik). Now Drillago, attack Syrus directly! Syrus’ lifepoints drop to 6300. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (2)

            “The destruction shall continue,” said (Bakura). I sacrifice Bistro Butcher to summon Dark Ruler Ha Des (2450) in Attack Mode,” said (Bakura). Dark Ruler, attack Jaden’s Clayman!

            “Don’t think so!” said Jaden. I activate Hero Barrier, which negates your attack as long as an Elemental Hero exists on my field.

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

            “I activate Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards,” said Syrus. This isn’t over yet!
