[Turn 3 - Drake LP:2100 Hand:4, Yuma LP:4000 Hand:2]


    Two monsters stood facing each other on the field, one a black clothed samurai, the other a great white dragon. Drake has one card set in his magic/trap zone, while Yuma has two. It was Drakes turn.


    "I Draw. I summon in attack mode."


    [Spear Dragon – Lv4 ATK:1900/DEF:0]


    "Here I come Yuma, I attack Gagaga Samurai with Blue-Eyes White Dragon! White Lightning attack!"


    A white beam blasted out from Drakes dragon towards Yuma''s monster.


    "Not so fast Drake! I activate the effect of my Gagaga Samurai, and change it to defence mode. Now my life points are safe."


    "Watch out Yuma!" warned Astral.


    "Urgh.. not yet! I activate my face down . This trap prevents one of my monsters from being destroyed by battle this turn and halves all damage I take from battles involving that monster."


    "But you will still take damage."


    [BEWD ATK:3000 > GS DEF:1600 – Yuma LP > 3300 (1400/2=700)]


    "Then I attack with Spear Dragon."


    A hurricane of wind blasted from the Spear Dragons pointed beak.


    [SP ATK:1900 > GS DEF:1600 – Yuma LP > 3150 (300/2=150)]


    "After attacking my Spear Dragon switches to defence mode. I then set a card face down and my turns over."


    Yuma was confused. Why attack with the Spear Dragon? It couldn''t destroy his monster and it hardly did any damage. It was now a sitting duck with 0 DEF. Was it a trap? A bluff?


    [Turn 4 - Yuma LP:3150 Hand:2, Drake LP:2100 Hand:3]


    "Alright Drake, he comes one of my favourite monsters, I summon in attack mode."


    [Gagaga Magician – Lv4 ATK:1500/DEF:1000]


    The Magician was as Drake remembered it, masked with black robes emblazoned with a flame pattern along the bottom, and a shoulder piece reminiscent of the famous Dark Magician.


    "And when I summon a level 4 monster, I can special summon from my hand."


    [Kagetokage – Lv4 ATK:1100/DEF:1500]


    A shadowy lizard like creature scuttled onto the field from Gagaga Magicians shadow.


    "With my level 4 Gagaga Magician and Kagetokage I build the overlay network. I XYZ summon, rank 4 ."


    [Gagaga Cowboy – Rank 4 ATK:1500/DEF:2400 OU:2]


    Drake was amused. Yuma had summoned his monster in attack position, was his plan…


    [Gagaga Samurai - OU:1 > 0]


    *Slash* Its final overlay unit disappeared.


    "Now I''m gonna Jet! I attack Blue-Eyes White Dragon with Gagaga Cowboy!"


    So Drake was right. Not a particularly good move in his eyes, but not bad either...


    "I activate Gagaga Cowboys special effect. By sending one Overlay unit to the Graveyard, when Gagaga Cowboy attacks a monster it gains 1000 ATK and my opponents monster loses 500 ATK.


    [Gagaga Cowboy - OU:2 > 1]


    An overlay unit flew into Gagaga Cowboys pistol before being fire out towards the Blue-Eyes dragon.


    "That means your Blue-Eyes and my Cowboy both now have 2500 ATK. Since both our monsters attack points are equal then they are both destroyed."


    [BEWD ATK: 3000 > 2500 = GC ATK: 1500 > 2500]


    "Now I attack Spear Dragon with Gagaga Samurai."


    The samurai charged in for the kill, but the defending dragon was suddenly engulfed in a pillar of flames.


    "I activate my trap card
