Storming the Field (1)

Previously…

            “Who’s that?” asked Mokuba. Kaiba turns to see someone.

            “Who are you?” said Kaiba.

            “Adrian Geko,” said Adrian.

            “You’re in my way!” said Kaiba.

            “Maybe so but I came to duel you and I forecast a 99% chance of defeat!” said Adrian.

            “Fine, let’s duel!” said Kaiba.

            “I summon Cloudian - Poison Cloud (1000) in Defense Mode,” said Adrian. Then I play Big Summon Cloud, which at a cost of half my points lets me summon Cloudian - Eye of the Typhoon (3000) in Attack Mode. His LPs drop to 4000. The only downside is that to keep my Spell Card out, I have to discard my hand at my Standby Phase. I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (1)

            “I discard my Thunder Dragon to add two more Thunder Dragon cards to my hand,” said Kaiba. Then I use Polymerization, discarding them for Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon (2800) in Attack Mode. Thunder Dragon, destroy his Poison Cloud! Poison Cloud is destroyed and Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon is then destroyed while Kaiba’s LPs drop to 7200. What happened to my LPs and my monster?

            “My Poison Cloud’s effect simply destroyed your Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon since it was responsible for destroying my monster in battle and since he was destroyed in battle, you take 800 damage,” said Adrian.

            “I set 2 cards face down and end my turn,” said Kaiba. (2)

            “Eye of the Typhoon, attack him directly!” said Adrian.

            “Not so fast, I activate Shadow Spell!” said Kaiba. Your Cloudian monster loses 700 ATK and cannot switch modes. Typhoon’s ATK drops to 2300.

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

            “I draw,” said Kaiba. I summon Vorse Raider (1900) in Attack Mode. Then I use Shrink, which halves the ATK of your monster this turn! Typhoon’s ATK drops to 1150. Vorse Raider, remove his cloud from the atmosphere! Eye of the Typhoon is not destroyed but Adrian’s LPs drop to 3250. Why wasn’t your monster destroyed?

            “It’s pretty simple,” said Adrian. Like the actual clouds in the sky, you can’t destroy them with brute force.   

            “I end my turn,” said Kaiba. Typhoon’s ATK returns to 2300. (1)

            “Back to me,” said Adrian. I summon Cloudian - Sheep Cloud (0000) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

            “How pathetic,” said Kaiba. I activate White Dragon Ritual, tributing my Vorse Raider for Paladin of White Dragon (1900) in Attack Mode. Paladin, destroy his Sheep Cloud! Sheep Cloud is destroyed and two Sheep Cloud Tokens (0000 x2) appear.

            “When my Sheep Cloud is destroyed in battle, it summons two Sheep Cloud Tokens,” said Adrian.

            “Whatever, I use my Paladin’s effect, which lets me tribute it for Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. That ends my turn. (0)

            “I summon another Sheep Cloud in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Adrian. (0)

            “I activate Pot of Greed, so I get 2 cards,” said Kaiba. Next I activate Silent Doom, letting me summon Vorse Raider in Defense Mode. Vorse Raider appears. Then I tribute Vorse Raider for Kaiser Glider (2400) in Attack Mode. Glider, destroy his Sheep Cloud! Sheep Cloud is destroyed and two Sheep Cloud Tokens appear. Blue-Eyes, destroy a token! The token is destroyed. That ends my turn. (0)

            “I tribute my 3 tokens for Cloudian - Nimbusman (1000) in Attack Mode,” said Adrian.

            “You wasted three tributes for that?” asked Kaiba. Guess you want to lose.

            “Actually, I was planning on winning and thanks to Nimbusman’s effect, for each monster I tributed to play him, he gets a Fog Counter and for each Fog Counter on the field, he gets 500 more ATK! Nimbusman’s ATK rises to 2500. Nimbusman, destroy his Kaiser Glider! Kaiser Glider is destroyed and Kaiba’s LPs drop to 7100. That ends my turn. (0)

            “Your Nimbusman won’t defeat my Blue-Eyes,” said Kaiba. Blue-Eyes, destroy Nimbusman!
