Volcanic Eruption (2)

Previously…

            “I play Monster Reborn to revive my Panther Warrior in Attack Mode,” said Joey. Panther Warrior reappears. Next I tribute it for Maximum Six (1900) in Attack Mode.

            “That monster’s far too weak to come even close to defeating my Doomfire,” said Axel.

            “Maybe but when he's summoned, his ability activates, forcin’ me to roll a die and he gains ATK equal to the die result times 200! The die lands. A six, so my monster gets 1200 more ATK! Maximum Six’s ATK rises to 3100. Maximum Six, destroy his Doomfire! Doomfire is destroyed and Axel’s LPs drop to 6800. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (0)

            “I pay for Firewall!” said Axel. His LPs drop to 5300. Then I play Fire Recovery! By discarding my Volcanic Shell, I can revive Volcanic Doomfire from my Grave in Attack Mode! Doomfire reappears. Doomfire, destroy his Marauding Captain! Marauding Captain is destroyed and Joey’s LPs drop to 3700. Maximum Six is then destroyed and Joey’s LPs drop to 2700. That ends my turn. (0)

            “My move,” said Joey. This better be a good card or I’ve got nothin’ to protect myself! I play Pot of Greed, giving me 2 cards. Then I activate Scapegoat, giving me 4 Goat Tokens (0000 x4) in Defense Mode. Next, I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (0)

            “First I pay for Firewall,” said Axel. His LPs drop to 4800. Then I summon Fire Trooper (1000) in Attack Mode. Fire Trooper disappears and Joey’s LPs drop to 1700.

            “What happened?” asked Joey. Why did I just take 1000 damage and your monster disappear?

            “When Fire Trooper’s summoned, you take 1000 damage and then it goes to my Graveyard,” said Axel. Doomfire, destroy a Goat Token!

            “I activate Compensation Mediation!” said Joey. Now you select 2 cards from your Graveyard and set them with this card face down. Then I have to pick one of the three and if I guess my Trap Card, your Battle Phase ends. Axel shuffles the cards and sets them. The far right! The card flips up. Yes, it’s my card! As a bonus, the cards you chose go on the top of your deck.

            “Lucky break,” said Axel. I end my turn. (0)

            “Alright, here goes!” said Joey. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (0)

            “You’re goin’ down!” said Axel. I pay for Firewall! His LPs drop to 4300. Doomfire, destroy one of the tokens!

            “I activate Silver Dollar!” said Joey. Thanks to this card, my token can’t be destroyed in battle and any damage I would’ve taken becomes 0.

            “I end my turn,” said Axel. (1)

            “Alright, look out!” said Joey. I summon Time Wizard (0500) in Attack Mode.

            “A mere 500 ATK?” asked Axel. My monster has 6 times his ATK.

            “I activate his ability!” said Joey. Now I flip a coin and guess which side on the coin lands up. If I’m right, all monsters you control are destroyed but if I’m wrong my monsters are destroyed and I take damage equal to half the ATK of my destroyed monsters. I call Tails! The coin lands. Tails, just what I needed! Volcanic Doomfire is destroyed. Time Wizard, direct attack!

            “I remove Volcanic Shell in my Grave from play for Firewall!” said Axel.

            “I end my turn,” said Joey. (0)

            “I summon another Volcanic Slicer in Attack Mode,” said Axel. Slicer, destroy his Time Wizard! Time Wizard is destroyed and Joey’s LPs drop to 400. That ends my turn. (0)

            “I play Monster Reborn to revive your Doomfire!” said Joey. Doomfire reappears. Doomfire, destroy his Slicer! Slicer is destroyed and Axel’s LPs drop to 3100. Since your monster was destroyed, you take 500 damage! Axel’s LPs drop to 2600. That ends my turn. (0)

            “My move and I pay for Firewall!” said Axel. His LPs drop to 2100. Then I summon Volcanic Blaster (0600) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

            “My move,” said Joey. I summon Gearfried the Iron Knight (1800) in Attack Mode. Doomfire, destroy his Blaster! Blaster is destroyed and Axel’s LPs drop to 1600.

            “When Blaster’s destroyed, I can place another Volcanic Blaster on the top of my deck,” said Axel. You’ll never defeat me in the ring of fire!
