Tag Duel Dinner Deathmatch: Moros and Alexander VS Keio and Xaiver
Turn 1: Alexander
Alexander and Moros - 8000 LP, 5 cards, 5 cards
Keio and Xavier - 8000 LP, 5 cards, 5 cards
"Guess I'll go first," Alexander said. "I Summon 'Magical Exemplar' in ATK mode!" The green robed woman then appeared on the field.
Magical Exemplar - Level 4, ATK 1700
"I'll place one card face down, and end my turn," Alexander finished.
Turn 2: Xavier
Alexander and Moros - 8000 LP, (3 cards -> 1 monster, 1 spell/trap), 5 cards
Keio and Xavier - 8000 LP, 5 cards, 5 cards
"Okay! My turn," Xavier said with excitement, "I Summon my 'Spellsword's Apprentice' in ATK mode, allowing me to banish all spell cards from my deck at the cost of 1000 LP!"
Keio and Xavier - 8000 LP -> 7000 LP
Spellsword's Apprentice - Level 4, ATK 1500
"Now I'll end," he said, completing his turn.
Turn 3: Moros
Alexander and Moros - 8000 LP, (3 cards -> 1 monster, 1 spell/trap), 5 cards
Keio and Xavier - 7000 LP, (4 cards -> 1 monster), 5 cards
"Alright guess that makes it my turn." Moros said as he pursued his hand. Looked like nothing big this turn, but he could set up some stuff. Since Alexander used Spell Counters, that meant that he should play any spell cards he had as quickly as possible.
"Well I guess I'll open up with the Spell card 'Graceful Charity'. I get to draw 3 cards then discard 2 of them, and that puts two Spell Counters on 'Magical Exemplar'." He drew and carefully considered, "I'll discard two 'Mezukis', set one monster and one face down, and end my turn."
Turn 4: Keio
Alexander and Moros - 8000 LP, (3 cards, 4 cards -> 2 monsters, 2 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 7000 LP, (5 cards, 4 cards, 1 monster)
"Okay, finally my turn then," Keio said as he scanned the cards in his hand. "I'll Summon my 'Necro Gardna' in Defense Position," he said as a black warrior with blood red-colored shoulder pads appeared and took a defensive crouch.
Necro Gardna - Level 3, DEF 1300
"Then I'll set one card face down, and end my turn." Keio said looking a bit bored.
Turn 5: Alexander
Alexander and Moros - 8000 LP, (4 cards, 4 cards -> 2 monsters, 2 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 7000 LP, (4 cards, 4 cards -> 2 monsters, 1 spell/trap)
"Draw," Alexander said, drawing a card. He examined the cards he had in his hand, debating which ones to play first. Picking out a card, Alexander said, "I'll summon 'Breaker, the Magical Warrior' in ATK mode!" The red-armored swordsman appeared on the field next to 'Magical Exemplar', ready to do battle. "When 'Breaker' is successfully Normal Summoned, he gains one Spell Counter, and 300 ATK from that Spell Counter!"
Breaker, the Magical Warrior - Level 4, ATK 1600 -> 1900
"Now I activate his effect!" Alexander declared. "By removing one Spell Counter from 'Breaker', I can destroy one Spell or Trap card on the field!" 'Breaker's' blade suddenly turned black, and shot out a bolt of black lightning, heading directly for the face down on Keio and Xavier's side of the field and destroying it.
Breaker, the Magical Warrior - ATK 1900 -> 1600
"Now I move on to the Battle Phase! 'Breaker', destroy 'Spellsword's Apprentice'!" Alexander declared, and 'Breaker' charged, thrusting his sword into 'Spellsword's Apprentice' and destroying it.
Keio and Xavier - 7000 LP -> 6900 LP
"'Magical Exemplar', attack 'Necro Gardna'!" Alexander continued, 'Magical Exemplar' firing a bolt of green energy from her hands at 'Necro Gardna', destroying that monster as well. "Turn end," Alexander finished.
Turn 6: Xavier
Alexander and Moros - 8000 LP, (4 cards, 4 cards -> 3 monsters, 2 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (3 cards, 5 cards)
"Draw," Xavier said, clearly amused by his hand, "I Summon my 'Spellsword of the Light'!" The swordsman in a white robe appeared.
Spellsword of the Light - Level 4, ATK 1700, Phase A
"When 'Spellsword of the Light' is Summoned, I can shuffle my Banished Pile and draw one card from it for each monster my opponent controls," Xavier stated, drawing 3 cards from his Banished Pile. "Now I activate 'Spellsword's Greed', allowing me to reshuffle my banished pile and draw one more card from it. Then I'll activate the Field Spell: 'Spellsword Training Grounds', making all my 'Spellsword' monsters gain 100 ATK and DEF. In addition to that, each time a 'Spellsword' monster is Summoned, I place one Mana Counter on my Training Grounds. Then I'll Set one card and enter my Battle Phase."
Meanwhile, 'Magical Exemplar' gained another 4 Spell Counters, resulting in a total of 6 Spell Counters.
Spellsword of the Light - ATK 1700 -> 1800
"'Spellsword of Light' attack 'Breaker'!" Xavier shouted as the swordsman's sword began to glow a bright white. It jumped forward and stabbed the warrior before it, destroying it. "Now I'll end."
Alexander and Moros - 8000 LP -> 7800 LP
Turn 7: Moros
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP, (4 cards, 5 cards -> 2 monsters, 2 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (3 cards, 5 cards -> 1 monster, 1 spell/trap)
Moros drew his card, muttering the obligatory "Draw," while pondering what to do. He could wait until they really needed it, but it would probably be best to buy time now to set up the field. He knew that Alexander's 'Arcanite Magician' was super powerful if he got it out, and Moros himself favored waiting until later in the duel as well.
"Alright I think I'll activate the Spell card: 'Swords of Revealing Light', that means your monsters can't attack for 3 of your turns, and 'Magical Exemplar' gains another 2 Spell Counters" Imposing swords of light slammed down all around Keio and Xavier. "See how your 'Swordsman of the Light' likes that." Moros said confidently, "I'll set one more card and end my turn."
Turn 8: Keio
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP, (4 cards, 3 cards -> 2 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (4 cards, 5 cards -> 1 monster, 1 spell/trap)
"Okay, then it is my draw," Keio said, looking at his cards. "There does not seem like much I can do except bring out this guy. I Summon my 'Quilbolt Hedgehog' in defense mode."
Quilbolt Hedgehog -> Level: 2 DEF: 800
Then an orange color hedgehog appeared and took a defensive stance. "With that I'll end my turn." Keio stated.
Turn 1: Alexander
Alexander and Moros - 8000 LP, 5 cards, 5 cards
Keio and Xavier - 8000 LP, 5 cards, 5 cards
"Guess I'll go first," Alexander said. "I Summon 'Magical Exemplar' in ATK mode!" The green robed woman then appeared on the field.
Magical Exemplar - Level 4, ATK 1700
"I'll place one card face down, and end my turn," Alexander finished.
Turn 2: Xavier
Alexander and Moros - 8000 LP, (3 cards -> 1 monster, 1 spell/trap), 5 cards

"Okay! My turn," Xavier said with excitement, "I Summon my 'Spellsword's Apprentice' in ATK mode, allowing me to banish all spell cards from my deck at the cost of 1000 LP!"
Keio and Xavier - 8000 LP -> 7000 LP
Spellsword's Apprentice - Level 4, ATK 1500
"Now I'll end," he said, completing his turn.
Turn 3: Moros
Alexander and Moros - 8000 LP, (3 cards -> 1 monster, 1 spell/trap), 5 cards
Keio and Xavier - 7000 LP, (4 cards -> 1 monster), 5 cards
"Alright guess that makes it my turn." Moros said as he pursued his hand. Looked like nothing big this turn, but he could set up some stuff. Since Alexander used Spell Counters, that meant that he should play any spell cards he had as quickly as possible.

Turn 4: Keio
Alexander and Moros - 8000 LP, (3 cards, 4 cards -> 2 monsters, 2 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 7000 LP, (5 cards, 4 cards, 1 monster)
"Okay, finally my turn then," Keio said as he scanned the cards in his hand. "I'll Summon my 'Necro Gardna' in Defense Position," he said as a black warrior with blood red-colored shoulder pads appeared and took a defensive crouch.
Necro Gardna - Level 3, DEF 1300
"Then I'll set one card face down, and end my turn." Keio said looking a bit bored.
Turn 5: Alexander
Alexander and Moros - 8000 LP, (4 cards, 4 cards -> 2 monsters, 2 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 7000 LP, (4 cards, 4 cards -> 2 monsters, 1 spell/trap)
"Draw," Alexander said, drawing a card. He examined the cards he had in his hand, debating which ones to play first.

"Now I activate his effect!" Alexander declared. "By removing one Spell Counter from 'Breaker', I can destroy one Spell or Trap card on the field!" 'Breaker's' blade suddenly turned black, and shot out a bolt of black lightning, heading directly for the face down on Keio and Xavier's side of the field and destroying it.
Breaker, the Magical Warrior - ATK 1900 -> 1600
"Now I move on to the Battle Phase! 'Breaker', destroy 'Spellsword's Apprentice'!" Alexander declared, and 'Breaker' charged, thrusting his sword into 'Spellsword's Apprentice' and destroying it.
Keio and Xavier - 7000 LP -> 6900 LP
"'Magical Exemplar', attack 'Necro Gardna'!" Alexander continued, 'Magical Exemplar' firing a bolt of green energy from her hands at 'Necro Gardna', destroying that monster as well. "Turn end," Alexander finished.
Turn 6: Xavier
Alexander and Moros - 8000 LP, (4 cards, 4 cards -> 3 monsters, 2 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (3 cards, 5 cards)
"Draw," Xavier said, clearly amused by his hand, "I Summon my 'Spellsword of the Light'!" The swordsman in a white robe appeared.
Spellsword of the Light - Level 4, ATK 1700, Phase A
"When 'Spellsword of the Light' is Summoned, I can shuffle my Banished Pile and draw one card from it for each monster my opponent controls," Xavier stated, drawing 3 cards from his Banished Pile. "Now I activate 'Spellsword's Greed', allowing me to reshuffle my banished pile and draw one more card from it.

In addition to that, each time a 'Spellsword' monster is Summoned, I place one Mana Counter on my Training Grounds. Then I'll Set one card and enter my Battle Phase."
Meanwhile, 'Magical Exemplar' gained another 4 Spell Counters, resulting in a total of 6 Spell Counters.
Spellsword of the Light - ATK 1700 -> 1800
"'Spellsword of Light' attack 'Breaker'!" Xavier shouted as the swordsman's sword began to glow a bright white. It jumped forward and stabbed the warrior before it, destroying it. "Now I'll end."
Alexander and Moros - 8000 LP -> 7800 LP
Turn 7: Moros
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP, (4 cards, 5 cards -> 2 monsters, 2 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (3 cards, 5 cards -> 1 monster, 1 spell/trap)
Moros drew his card, muttering the obligatory "Draw," while pondering what to do. He could wait until they really needed it, but it would probably be best to buy time now to set up the field. He knew that Alexander's 'Arcanite Magician' was super powerful if he got it out, and Moros himself favored waiting until later in the duel as well.
"Alright I think I'll activate the Spell card: 'Swords of Revealing Light', that means your monsters can't attack for 3 of your turns, and 'Magical Exemplar' gains another 2 Spell Counters" Imposing swords of light slammed down all around Keio and Xavier. "See how your 'Swordsman of the Light' likes that." Moros said confidently, "I'll set one more card and end my turn."
Turn 8: Keio
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP, (4 cards, 3 cards -> 2 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (4 cards, 5 cards -> 1 monster, 1 spell/trap)
"Okay, then it is my draw," Keio said, looking at his cards. "There does not seem like much I can do except bring out this guy. I Summon my 'Quilbolt Hedgehog' in defense mode."
Quilbolt Hedgehog -> Level: 2 DEF: 800
Then an orange color hedgehog appeared and took a defensive stance. "With that I'll end my turn." Keio stated.
Turn 9: Alexander
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP, (4 cards, 3 cards -> 2 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (3 cards, 5 cards -> 2 monsters, 1 spell/trap)
"My draw," Alexander said, drawing his next card. Alexander grinned, seeing a good card come up. "I play my Field Spell: 'Magical Citadel of Endymion'!" Alexander declared, part of the field transforming into a field of trees, with a giant towering citadel behind Alexander and Moros, and 'Magical Exemplar' gained 2 more Spell Counters, a grand total of 10. "Now I Summon 'Defender, the Magical Knight' in DEF mode!" Alexander continued, the heavily armored warrior appearing on the field, crouching behind his shield.
Defender, the Magical Knight - Level 4, DEF 2000
"When 'Defender' is successfully Normal Summoned, he gains one Spell Counter," Alexander explained, the red orb in the middle of 'Defender's' shield turning black. Now Alexander had to do some thinking. None of the monsters on his field could defeat 'Spellsword of the Light' yet, so that left one option.
"Battle! 'Magical Exemplar', attack 'Quillbolt Hedgehog'!" Alexander commanded, 'Magical Exemplar' firing a green bolt of energy at the little furball, destroying it. "Turn end," Alexander ended.
Turn 10: Xavier
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP, (4 cards, 3 cards -> 3 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (3 cards, 5 cards -> 1 monster, 1 spell/trap)
"Draw," Xavier muttered, seeing that things weren't going his way, then grinning at his draw, "I Summon my 'Spellsword's Grandmaster' in ATK mode, placing one Mana Counter on Training Grounds."
Spellsword's Grandmaster -> Level 4, ATK 1800, Phase B
"I activate my Grandmaster's effect! He allows me to remove one Mana Counter from anywhere on the field and add one spell of my choice from my banished pile to my hand. I chose my 'Spellsword's Grand Blade'. Then I Phase Shift Summon my 'Spellsword of World's End' in DEF mode."
"I remove 'Spellsword of the Light' to enter Phase A. When in Phase A, he has 0 atk and 2000 def. Then I activate my face down, 'Flash Mana' placing one Mana Counter on each card on my side of the field, that's 3 mana counters. Now I activate End's effect, placing all Mana Counters on the field on him and an additional 5, for a grand total of 8. then I equip him with 'Spellsword's Grand Blade', adding 1000 to his ATK and DEF. Now I will end." Xavier said confidently.
Meanwhile, 'Magical Citadel of Endymion' gained 2 Spell Counters and 'Magical Exemplar' gained 4.
Turn 11: Moros
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP, (4 cards, 4 cards -> 3 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (3 cards, 3 cards -> 1 monster, 2 spell/traps,)
Moros drew his next card, still considering the monster that had been Summoned. It looked like it could be quite powerful, given time. Still, 'Swords of Revealing Light' was out, so they had nothing to worry about yet. He didn't see any point in making a move quite yet, so he simply said, "Keio, you're up. Try to at least act excited alright?"
Turn 12: Keio
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP, (4 cards, 5 cards -> 3 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (3 cards, 3 cards -> 1 monster, 2 spell/traps,)
"Okay then, it is my draw again." Keio said, still looking bored. "Moros, how about you play a good card if you want me to get excited. Now I'll set my 'Nitro Synchron' in DEF mode."
Nitro Synchron - Level 2, DEF 100.
Then a tiny pink gas tank appeared on the field and crouched down. "With your 'Swords' still in play, I'll end my turn." Keio said.
Turn 13: Alexander
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP, (5 cards, 5 cards -> 3 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (2 cards, 3 cards -> 2 monsters, 2 spell/traps,)
"Draw," Alexander said, drawing his next card. Alexander was surprised to see a new form of Summoning, and wondered what a Phase Shift monster could do. Looking at the card he drew, Alexander grinned, for another good card had come up. "I'll discard one card from my hand in order to Summon 'The Tricky' in ATK mode!" Alexander declared, the oddly-dressed creature appearing on the field.
The Tricky - Level 5, ATK 2000
"Next, I activate the effect of my 'Magical Exemplar'!" Alexander continued. "By removing Spell Counters from her, I can Special Summon a Spellcaster-Type monster from my Graveyard with a Level equal to the amount of Spell Counters I remove!" As two of the floating dark orbs disappeared, Alexander said, "I remove two Spell Counters to Summon my Level Two 'Arcane Apprentice!" A small brown-and-blue robed creature on the field, brandishing its staff.
Arcane Apprentice - Level 2, ATK 400, Tuner
"Time for the main event!" Alexander said. "I tune my Level 5 'Tricky' with my Level 2 'Arcane Apprentice'!" As the two monsters transformed into two green rings and five small stars, Alexander chanted, "Wielder of sealed arcane forces! Use our power and destroy all who oppose us! Synchro Summon! Appear, 'Arcanite Magician'!" The white-robed mage appeared from the rings and stars, ready for battle. "When 'Arcanite Magician' is successfully 'Synchro Summoned', I can add two Spell Counters to him, and he gains 1000 ATK for each Spell Counter on him," Alexander explained, two dark orbs appearing, floating around the head of of 'Arcanite Magician's' green staff.
Arcanite Magician - Level 7, ATK 400 -> ATK 2400
"Also, when 'Arcane Apprentice' is used as Synchro Material for a Synchro Summon, I can add one 'Assault Mode Activate' from my deck," Alexander explained, adding the ejected card to his hand. "Now I activate the effect of my 'Arcanite Magician'! By removing a Spell Counter from anywhere on my field, I can destroy one card my opponent controls!" Alexander continued. "Destroy 'Spellsword Training Ground'!" Alexander commanded, a dark orb appearing from the shield of 'Defender, the Magical Knight', which was absorbed into 'Arcanite Magician's' staff, turning it black. 'Arcanite Magician' then pointed his staff at their side of the field and fired a bolt of dark lightning, causing mass destruction to their field, gradually transforming the entire field into a clearing with trees surrounding everyone.
"I can still use 'Arcanite Magician's' effect, as long as I have Spell Counters to use," Alexander said, a dark orb floating away from 'Magical Exemplar' and into 'Arcanite Magician's' staff. "Destroy 'Nitro Synchron'!" Alexander commanded, 'Arcanite Magician' firing another dark bolt of lightning and destroying the little pink gas tank. "Now for that 'Spellsword of World's End'!" Alexander said, but a buzzing sound emerged from his Duel Disk.
"Not so fast... World's End cant be destroyed by battle or be targeted by card effect" Xavier said, confidently with a smirk on his face.
Frowning, Alexander continued, "Then I'll destroy that 'Spellsword's Grand Blade' instead." Another dark bolt of lightning was fired, destroying the blade.
"When 'Grand Blade' is destroyed, my opponent takes 300 points of damage for each monster they control!" Xavier said, crossing his arms as the shards of the blade flew at Moros and Alexander.
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP -> 6600 LP
Alexander shielded himself with one arm as the shards struck, then continued, "One last bolt to destroy that face down!" Alexander said, another bolt fired to destroy their last face down card.
"Battle! 'Arcanite Magician', attack 'Spellsword of World's End' with White Discharge!" Alexander commanded, and 'Arcanite' Magician' fired a bolt of white lightning.
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP -> 6500 LP
"I place one card face down and end my turn," Alexander ended.
Turn 14: Xavier
Alexander and Moros - 6600 LP, (3 cards, 4 cards -> 4 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6500 LP, (3 cards, 3 cards -> 1 monster)
"I draw," Xavier casually drew his next card as he spoke the words, "Now, time to show you how to Duel. I activate a Phase Shift on 'World's End' sending him into Phase B and removing his last Phase Unit. His original attack and defense become 1800, then I remove one Mana Counter to add one Spell from my Banished pile to my hand. I'll add 'Final Bond', then remove another Counter to add 'Spellsword Arena'. I then activate 'Arena', which makes all 'Spellsword' monsters gain an extra 200 ATK for each Mana Counter on them, bringing 'World's End' up to 2000. Now I activate 'Final Bond' on World's End and Arcanite, meaning If one leaves the field, the other leaves the field in the same manner. And don't think about destroying 'Final Bond' because if you do, both of them are Banished. Now I activate the second effect of 'Arena', which places a Mana Counter on it each time a Spell card is activated," Xavier stated proudly, "Now I end."
Turn 15: Moros
Alexander and Moros - 6600 LP, (3 cards, 5 cards -> 4 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6500 LP, (3 cards, 3 cards -> 1 monster, 2 spell/traps)
Moros hmmed to himself thoughtfully as he considered his options. Seemed that there were two powerhouses on the field now, perhaps he should see if he could do the same. "Well this is nearly optimal," he said quietly then louder, "Alright, first thing I'll do is activate 'Dark World Dealings', everybody draw one and discard one." Moros drew his card and discarded Wightprince to the Graveyard, "Once 'Wightprince' goes in he drags 'Lady in Wight' and 'Skull Servant' with him," Moros annouced as he dropped two more cards into the grave. "Now I'll use the spell card 'One for One' to discard 'Wightprince' to Special Summon a Level 1 monster from my deck, 'King of Skull Servants'! Don't forget 'Wightprince' drags two more monsters to the grave with him. The purple robed Skeleton appeared standing on a pile of skeletons.
Alexander grinned, thinking the timing couldn't be better. "I'll help you out there," Alexander said. "I activate my Trap card: 'Assault Mode Activate'! I can Tribute a Synchro Monster on my field and Special Summon a stronger version of it from my deck!" As 'Arcanite Magician' rose up into the air, his white robe glowed brilliantly. "Forces of magic, be unsealed! None shall survive our combined assault! Rain down hell, 'Arcanite Magician/Assault Mode!'" Alexander chanted, and 'Arcanite Magician descended onto the field, this time revealing the red armor it had been wearing underneath his robe. "Just like the original, 'Arcanite Magician/Assault Mode' gains two Spell Counters, and 1000 ATK for each one," Alexander explained.
Arcanite Magician/Assault Mode - Level 9, ATK 900 -> ATK 2900
Also, due to your 'Final Bond', your 'Spellsword of World's End will be sent to the Graveyard," Alexander said confidently.
"Now! I activate the last effect of Spellsword Arena! When a Spellsword Extra Deck monster is sent to the graveyard by my card effect, It returns to the Extra Deck!" Xavier responded as World's End erupted into sparks. Just as the sparks began to vanish, they returned to their original shape and flew back into Xavier's Duel Disk.
Moros shrugged, where it went when it left the field was no concern of his. What was important was that the field was clear for an almost full power 'King of Skull Servants' to attack. "Battle! 'King of Skull Servants' has 6000 ATK, and he'll use them to attack directly with Revenge Blast!"
"Wait, I active my 'Necro Gardna's' effect. I can Banish him from my Graveyard to negate an attack, and I think I'll chose this attack," Keio said as his 'Necro Gardna' appeared to intercept the 'King of Skull Servants'.
"Aw," Moros said, disappointed as the blast destroyed 'Necro Gardna' instead of his opponents' LPs, "I guess I'll just set one card and end my turn."
Turn 16: Keio
Alexander and Moros - 6600 LP, (3 cards, 2 cards -> 5 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6500 LP, (3 cards, 3 cards -> 1 monster, 2 spell/traps)
"Okay I guess it's my draw." Keio said as he picked up another card from his duel disk. "Well this looks like it will work." Keio said with some thrill. " I am going to activate my 'Mystical Space Typhoon;. I'm going to take out those ;Swords of Revealing Light' that have me blocked off. " Keio said as a large typhoon destroyed the 'Swords of Revealing Light.'
Meanwhile, 'Citadel' gains another Counter, and 'Exemplar' gains two more, making a grand total of 5 and 15, respectively.
"Now that I took care of that, I am going to Summon my 'Junk Synchron' in ATK mode.
Junk Synchron - Level 3, ATK 1300, Tuner
An orange mechanical dwarf appeared right in front of Keio. "My 'Junk Synchron's' effect allows me to Special Summon a Level 2 or lower monster from my Graveyard in mode. And I am going to bring back my 'Nitro Synchron'," Keio said as his 'Nitro Synchron' appeared back on the field. "Also since I have a Tuner monster on my side of the field, I can Special Summon my 'Quillbolt Hedgehog' from my Graveyard in DEF position." Keio said as his 'Quillbolt Hedgehog' appeared in front of him. "Now, I am going to Tune my 'Hedgehog' with my 'Junk Synchron' to summon my 'Junk Warrior' to the field." Keio said as his 'Junk Synchron' turned into three green rings and modified his Hedgehog until it transformed into a purple mechanical warrior with a jetpack.
Junk Warrior - Level 5, ATK 2300
" Wait, I’m not done yet. I’m going to Synchro Summon again.” Keio said with pleasure on his face. “I am going to tune my Junk Warrior with my Nitro Synchron.” Keio said as his Nitro Synchron turned into two balls of light and tuned his Junk Warrior. Then a Green Monster soon took its place. “I bring forth my Nitro Warrior.” Keio said.
Nitro Warrior - Level 7, ATK 2800, Synchro.
“Now I’m going to activate my Magnum Shield equip spell. Oh and don’t forget to claim your counters by the way. What this equip spell does is add my monsters defense points to his attack points giving him 4600 ATK. Oh, and once per turn, during either of our turns, if a Spell card is activated, my Nitro Warrior gains an extra 1000 ATK points until his next attack. That gives him a total of 5600 ATK. Now I am going to have Nitro Warrior take down 'Arcanite Magician/Assault Mode' with your Nitro Fist.” Keio said as his creature attacked his magician.
"I activate the effect of 'Defender, the Magical Knight'!" Alexander countered. "By removing one Spell Counter from my field, I can negate the destruction of a Spellcaster-Type monster on my field!" A dark orb disappeared from 'Magical Exemplar', sending her Spell Counters down to 16, and 'Defender' leaped in front of 'Arcanite Magician', an invisible barrier blocking the Turbo Punch.
The fist hits 'Defender's' barrier, but a shock wave is sent back to Alexander and Moros.
Alexander and Moros - 6600 LP -> 3900
“Well in that case, I’ll set one card face down and end my turn.” Keio said.
Turn 17: Alexander
Alexander and Moros - 3900 LP, (4 cards, 2 cards -> 5 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6500 LP, (3 cards, 3 cards -> 1 monster, 2 spell/traps)
"Draw," Alexander said, drawing his next card. "This is the end for you guys," Alexander said, declaring his victory. "I activate 'Arcanite Magician's' effect! By removing two Spell Counters from it, I can destroy all cards my opponent controls! And, when an effect that requires Spell Counters is activated, I can use Spell Counters from 'Citadel' instead!" Two dark orbs flew away from 'Citadel' and into his staff, making it turn black and crackle with black electricity. "Dark Lightning Storm!" Alexander cried out as thick dark clouds appeared over Keio and Xavier's side of the field, which then released a barrage of dark lightning bolts, destroying everything on their side of the field.
"Wait, I'm going to activate my faced-down card, 'The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh' Now I can add a Kuriboh from my deck to my hand before you wipe out my field." Keio said as the card popped out from his deck.
"I'll switch 'Defender' to ATK mode and start my Battle Phase! 'King of Skull Servants', attack them directly with Revenge Blast!," Alexander commanded, and the undead skeleton fired a ball of dark energy.
"I activate the effect of my 'Spellsword of Warding'! While he is in my hand, if my opponent declares a direct attack, I can discard him to gain life points equal to the attacking monster's attack plus 300.
Keio and Xavier - 6500 LP -> 6800 LP
"'Arcanite Magician', attack them directly with Dark Discharge!" Alexander commanded, undeterred. 'Arcanite Magician' fired a bolt of dark lightning from his staff, depleting some of their Life Points
Keio and Xavier - 6800 LP -> 3900 LP
"'Defender', 'Exemplar', continue the assault!" Alexander commanded, the two monsters performing their respective attacks.
Keio and Xavier - 3900 LP -> 600 LP
Turn 18: Xaiver
Alexander and Moros - 3900 LP, (4 cards, 2 cards -> 5 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 600 LP, (4 cards, 3 cards -> )
"Draw," Xavier muttered, unamused by the turn of events, "I summon one monster in face-down defense position, set one card face-down and end."
Turn 19: Moros
Alexander and Moros - 3900 LP, (4 cards, 3 cards -> 5 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 600 LP, (2 cards, 3 cards -> )
"Draw!" Moros stated as he exaimed his card. Well, from the looks of it, unless they had something fancy prepared, this duel was over. "I'll activate the Spell card: 'Opti-camoflauge armour', when equipped to a level 1 monster it can attack directly." The skeleton's purple robes were covered by shimmering armor that made in blur in and out of vision. "Since I don't feel like hitting your face-down monster I think I'll go for a more direct approach. 'King of Skull Servants, destroy his LPs with Revenge Blast!"
"I activate Mirror Force, destroying all of your ATK position monsters, and since all of them are in ATK mode, say goodbye to all of them." Xavier said proudly.
"I activate the effect of my 'Defender', protecting my Spellcasters from destruction!" Alexander countered, three dark orbs disappearing from 'Magical Exemplar', and 'Defender' shielding them from the reflected blast. 'King of Skull Servants', however, was not so fortunate.
"Hmph, I guess I'll have to instead use 'Magical Exemplar' to attack your face-down monster." 'Magical Exemplar' fired a bolt of green energy from her hands at the unknown monster
Spellsword of Warding -> Level 4, DEF 2000 ATK 0
Alexander and Moros 3900-> 3600
Moros was undaunted by the flicker of reflected damage, "Fine then, 'Arcanite Magician' destroy his Spellsword and 'Defender' finish off his LP!" Arcanite Magician blasted the monster with dark lightning as Defender rushed past it to deliver the final blow.
"Wait, I'll activate the effect of the 'Kuriboh' in my hand. I can discard him from my hand to the Graveyard in order to block your attack," Keio said as his tiny brown fur ball appeared on the field to block Defender's attack.
"Drat," Moros muttered, he should've gone about that better. Oh well, he had no doubt they would still obtain victory. "Well my King might not have been safe from 'Mirror Force', but you should know zombies don't stay down for long. I'll activate the effect of 'Mezuki', which lets me banish him from my graveyard to Special Summon my 1 Zombie-Type monster from my graveyard, my 'King of Skull Servants' back to the field! With that I'll end my turn."
Turn 20: Keio
Alexander and Moros - 3600 LP, (4 cards, 2 cards -> 5 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 600 LP, (2 cards, 3 cards)
"Well that means it is my draw." Keio said hoping for a good card. "Huh this could work but I'm not sure if I wanted to show just anybody this card. Well it couldn't hurt." Keio said. "First I am going to activate my 'Soul Release', now I can remove up to five cards from any players graveyard. Why don't I pick five of the ones that give your 'King' his power." Keio said as the King of the Skulls Servants power dropped from 6000 to 1000. "Now I'm going to banish my Kuriboh and the Calculator you made me discard a while back to special summon my 'Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning'." Keio said as a swordswoman with red hair and blacks armor appeared on the field.
Black Luster Solder - Envoy of the Beginning, Level 8, ATK 3000
"Now I'm going to equipped my 'Soldier' with the equip spell Junk Barrage. Now when my monster destroys a monster as a result of battle I can inflict damage equal to half of your destroyed monsters attack points. Now Black Luster Soldier destroy the 'King of the Skull Servants with your Black Luster Swing." Keio said as his monster struck down the 'King of the Skulls Servants. Then out of the 'Black Luster Soldier's Sword a pellet of junk shot at Moros.
"A monster unprotected is as good as useless," Moros proclaimed, "I activate the trap card 'Fiendish Chain', I can target one effect monster and negate its effects, and stop it form attacking." A clutser of chains raced out from the card ensaring the swordsman in weakness. "I believe that ends your turn?" Moros asked confidently.
"Well with an empty hand means it has to end." Keio stated.
Turn 21: Alexander
Alexander and Moros - 3600 LP, (5 cards, 2 cards -> 5 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 600 LP, (0 cards, 3 cards)
"Well, looks like I get the final blow," Alexander said, drawing his next card. "I'm sure you know what'll happen, so I won't bother explaining. Dark Lightning Storm!" 2 dark orbs floated away from 'Citadel' and towards 'Arcanite Magician', conjured up another group of dark clouds, which released a barrage of dark lightning bolts, wiping their entire field once more.
"Battle! 'Arcanite Magician', attack them directly! Dark Discharge!" Alexander commanded, 'Arcanite Magician' firing a dark lightning bolt from his staff, depleting the last of Keio and Xavier's Life Points.
Keio and Xavier - 600 LP -> 0 LP
Moros grinned and whispered one word to the losers with a cunning smile, "Lobster."
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP, (4 cards, 3 cards -> 2 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (3 cards, 5 cards -> 2 monsters, 1 spell/trap)
"My draw," Alexander said, drawing his next card. Alexander grinned, seeing a good card come up. "I play my Field Spell: 'Magical Citadel of Endymion'!" Alexander declared, part of the field transforming into a field of trees, with a giant towering citadel behind Alexander and Moros, and 'Magical Exemplar' gained 2 more Spell Counters, a grand total of 10. "Now I Summon 'Defender, the Magical Knight' in DEF mode!" Alexander continued, the heavily armored warrior appearing on the field, crouching behind his shield.
Defender, the Magical Knight - Level 4, DEF 2000
"When 'Defender' is successfully Normal Summoned, he gains one Spell Counter," Alexander explained, the red orb in the middle of 'Defender's' shield turning black. Now Alexander had to do some thinking. None of the monsters on his field could defeat 'Spellsword of the Light' yet, so that left one option.
"Battle! 'Magical Exemplar', attack 'Quillbolt Hedgehog'!" Alexander commanded, 'Magical Exemplar' firing a green bolt of energy at the little furball, destroying it. "Turn end," Alexander ended.
Turn 10: Xavier
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP, (4 cards, 3 cards -> 3 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (3 cards, 5 cards -> 1 monster, 1 spell/trap)
"Draw," Xavier muttered, seeing that things weren't going his way, then grinning at his draw, "I Summon my 'Spellsword's Grandmaster' in ATK mode, placing one Mana Counter on Training Grounds."
Spellsword's Grandmaster -> Level 4, ATK 1800, Phase B
"I activate my Grandmaster's effect! He allows me to remove one Mana Counter from anywhere on the field and add one spell of my choice from my banished pile to my hand. I chose my 'Spellsword's Grand Blade'. Then I Phase Shift Summon my 'Spellsword of World's End' in DEF mode."
[Spellcaster/Phase Shift/Effect]
Phase a/b monsters who's levels equal 8
When this card is Summoned, remove one Phase Unit and enter the corresponding phase.
Phase A (CHARGING PHASE):
Atk: 0
Def: 2000
This monster cannot be targeted by card effects or destroyed by battle. During any battles involving this defense position monster and a monster with greater atk than this card's defense, inflict the difference as piercing damage. Once per turn: you can place 5 Mana Counters on this card and move all Mana Counters on the field to this card.
Phase B (DESTRUCTION PHASE):
ATK: ?
DEF: ?
This card's attack and defense become equal to the number of Mana Counters on it x300. Once per turn: remove any number of Mana Counters from this monster; Add Spell Cards from your banished pile equal to the number of Mana Counters you removed, then recalculate the ATK of this card.

"I remove 'Spellsword of the Light' to enter Phase A. When in Phase A, he has 0 atk and 2000 def. Then I activate my face down, 'Flash Mana' placing one Mana Counter on each card on my side of the field, that's 3 mana counters. Now I activate End's effect, placing all Mana Counters on the field on him and an additional 5, for a grand total of 8. then I equip him with 'Spellsword's Grand Blade', adding 1000 to his ATK and DEF. Now I will end." Xavier said confidently.
Meanwhile, 'Magical Citadel of Endymion' gained 2 Spell Counters and 'Magical Exemplar' gained 4.
Turn 11: Moros
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP, (4 cards, 4 cards -> 3 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (3 cards, 3 cards -> 1 monster, 2 spell/traps,)
Moros drew his next card, still considering the monster that had been Summoned. It looked like it could be quite powerful, given time. Still, 'Swords of Revealing Light' was out, so they had nothing to worry about yet. He didn't see any point in making a move quite yet, so he simply said, "Keio, you're up. Try to at least act excited alright?"
Turn 12: Keio
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP, (4 cards, 5 cards -> 3 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (3 cards, 3 cards -> 1 monster, 2 spell/traps,)
"Okay then, it is my draw again." Keio said, still looking bored. "Moros, how about you play a good card if you want me to get excited. Now I'll set my 'Nitro Synchron' in DEF mode."
Nitro Synchron - Level 2, DEF 100.
Then a tiny pink gas tank appeared on the field and crouched down. "With your 'Swords' still in play, I'll end my turn." Keio said.
Turn 13: Alexander
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP, (5 cards, 5 cards -> 3 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP, (2 cards, 3 cards -> 2 monsters, 2 spell/traps,)
"Draw," Alexander said, drawing his next card. Alexander was surprised to see a new form of Summoning, and wondered what a Phase Shift monster could do. Looking at the card he drew, Alexander grinned, for another good card had come up. "I'll discard one card from my hand in order to Summon 'The Tricky' in ATK mode!" Alexander declared, the oddly-dressed creature appearing on the field.
The Tricky - Level 5, ATK 2000
"Next, I activate the effect of my 'Magical Exemplar'!" Alexander continued. "By removing Spell Counters from her, I can Special Summon a Spellcaster-Type monster from my Graveyard with a Level equal to the amount of Spell Counters I remove!" As two of the floating dark orbs disappeared, Alexander said, "I remove two Spell Counters to Summon my Level Two 'Arcane Apprentice!" A small brown-and-blue robed creature on the field, brandishing its staff.
Arcane Apprentice - Level 2, ATK 400, Tuner
"Time for the main event!" Alexander said. "I tune my Level 5 'Tricky' with my Level 2 'Arcane Apprentice'!" As the two monsters transformed into two green rings and five small stars, Alexander chanted, "Wielder of sealed arcane forces! Use our power and destroy all who oppose us! Synchro Summon! Appear, 'Arcanite Magician'!" The white-robed mage appeared from the rings and stars, ready for battle. "When 'Arcanite Magician' is successfully 'Synchro Summoned', I can add two Spell Counters to him, and he gains 1000 ATK for each Spell Counter on him," Alexander explained, two dark orbs appearing, floating around the head of of 'Arcanite Magician's' green staff.
Arcanite Magician - Level 7, ATK 400 -> ATK 2400
"Also, when 'Arcane Apprentice' is used as Synchro Material for a Synchro Summon, I can add one 'Assault Mode Activate' from my deck," Alexander explained, adding the ejected card to his hand. "Now I activate the effect of my 'Arcanite Magician'! By removing a Spell Counter from anywhere on my field, I can destroy one card my opponent controls!" Alexander continued. "Destroy 'Spellsword Training Ground'!" Alexander commanded, a dark orb appearing from the shield of 'Defender, the Magical Knight', which was absorbed into 'Arcanite Magician's' staff, turning it black. 'Arcanite Magician' then pointed his staff at their side of the field and fired a bolt of dark lightning, causing mass destruction to their field, gradually transforming the entire field into a clearing with trees surrounding everyone.
"I can still use 'Arcanite Magician's' effect, as long as I have Spell Counters to use," Alexander said, a dark orb floating away from 'Magical Exemplar' and into 'Arcanite Magician's' staff. "Destroy 'Nitro Synchron'!" Alexander commanded, 'Arcanite Magician' firing another dark bolt of lightning and destroying the little pink gas tank. "Now for that 'Spellsword of World's End'!" Alexander said, but a buzzing sound emerged from his Duel Disk.
"Not so fast... World's End cant be destroyed by battle or be targeted by card effect" Xavier said, confidently with a smirk on his face.
Frowning, Alexander continued, "Then I'll destroy that 'Spellsword's Grand Blade' instead." Another dark bolt of lightning was fired, destroying the blade.
"When 'Grand Blade' is destroyed, my opponent takes 300 points of damage for each monster they control!" Xavier said, crossing his arms as the shards of the blade flew at Moros and Alexander.
Alexander and Moros - 7800 LP -> 6600 LP
Alexander shielded himself with one arm as the shards struck, then continued, "One last bolt to destroy that face down!" Alexander said, another bolt fired to destroy their last face down card.
"Battle! 'Arcanite Magician', attack 'Spellsword of World's End' with White Discharge!" Alexander commanded, and 'Arcanite' Magician' fired a bolt of white lightning.
Keio and Xavier - 6900 LP -> 6500 LP
"I place one card face down and end my turn," Alexander ended.
Turn 14: Xavier
Alexander and Moros - 6600 LP, (3 cards, 4 cards -> 4 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6500 LP, (3 cards, 3 cards -> 1 monster)
"I draw," Xavier casually drew his next card as he spoke the words, "Now, time to show you how to Duel. I activate a Phase Shift on 'World's End' sending him into Phase B and removing his last Phase Unit. His original attack and defense become 1800, then I remove one Mana Counter to add one Spell from my Banished pile to my hand. I'll add 'Final Bond', then remove another Counter to add 'Spellsword Arena'. I then activate 'Arena', which makes all 'Spellsword' monsters gain an extra 200 ATK for each Mana Counter on them, bringing 'World's End' up to 2000. Now I activate 'Final Bond' on World's End and Arcanite, meaning If one leaves the field, the other leaves the field in the same manner. And don't think about destroying 'Final Bond' because if you do, both of them are Banished. Now I activate the second effect of 'Arena', which places a Mana Counter on it each time a Spell card is activated," Xavier stated proudly, "Now I end."
Turn 15: Moros
Alexander and Moros - 6600 LP, (3 cards, 5 cards -> 4 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6500 LP, (3 cards, 3 cards -> 1 monster, 2 spell/traps)
Moros hmmed to himself thoughtfully as he considered his options. Seemed that there were two powerhouses on the field now, perhaps he should see if he could do the same. "Well this is nearly optimal," he said quietly then louder, "Alright, first thing I'll do is activate 'Dark World Dealings', everybody draw one and discard one." Moros drew his card and discarded Wightprince to the Graveyard, "Once 'Wightprince' goes in he drags 'Lady in Wight' and 'Skull Servant' with him," Moros annouced as he dropped two more cards into the grave. "Now I'll use the spell card 'One for One' to discard 'Wightprince' to Special Summon a Level 1 monster from my deck, 'King of Skull Servants'! Don't forget 'Wightprince' drags two more monsters to the grave with him. The purple robed Skeleton appeared standing on a pile of skeletons.
Alexander grinned, thinking the timing couldn't be better. "I'll help you out there," Alexander said. "I activate my Trap card: 'Assault Mode Activate'! I can Tribute a Synchro Monster on my field and Special Summon a stronger version of it from my deck!" As 'Arcanite Magician' rose up into the air, his white robe glowed brilliantly. "Forces of magic, be unsealed! None shall survive our combined assault! Rain down hell, 'Arcanite Magician/Assault Mode!'" Alexander chanted, and 'Arcanite Magician descended onto the field, this time revealing the red armor it had been wearing underneath his robe. "Just like the original, 'Arcanite Magician/Assault Mode' gains two Spell Counters, and 1000 ATK for each one," Alexander explained.
Arcanite Magician/Assault Mode - Level 9, ATK 900 -> ATK 2900
Also, due to your 'Final Bond', your 'Spellsword of World's End will be sent to the Graveyard," Alexander said confidently.
"Now! I activate the last effect of Spellsword Arena! When a Spellsword Extra Deck monster is sent to the graveyard by my card effect, It returns to the Extra Deck!" Xavier responded as World's End erupted into sparks. Just as the sparks began to vanish, they returned to their original shape and flew back into Xavier's Duel Disk.
Moros shrugged, where it went when it left the field was no concern of his. What was important was that the field was clear for an almost full power 'King of Skull Servants' to attack. "Battle! 'King of Skull Servants' has 6000 ATK, and he'll use them to attack directly with Revenge Blast!"
"Wait, I active my 'Necro Gardna's' effect. I can Banish him from my Graveyard to negate an attack, and I think I'll chose this attack," Keio said as his 'Necro Gardna' appeared to intercept the 'King of Skull Servants'.
"Aw," Moros said, disappointed as the blast destroyed 'Necro Gardna' instead of his opponents' LPs, "I guess I'll just set one card and end my turn."
Turn 16: Keio
Alexander and Moros - 6600 LP, (3 cards, 2 cards -> 5 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6500 LP, (3 cards, 3 cards -> 1 monster, 2 spell/traps)
"Okay I guess it's my draw." Keio said as he picked up another card from his duel disk. "Well this looks like it will work." Keio said with some thrill. " I am going to activate my 'Mystical Space Typhoon;. I'm going to take out those ;Swords of Revealing Light' that have me blocked off. " Keio said as a large typhoon destroyed the 'Swords of Revealing Light.'
Meanwhile, 'Citadel' gains another Counter, and 'Exemplar' gains two more, making a grand total of 5 and 15, respectively.
"Now that I took care of that, I am going to Summon my 'Junk Synchron' in ATK mode.
Junk Synchron - Level 3, ATK 1300, Tuner
An orange mechanical dwarf appeared right in front of Keio. "My 'Junk Synchron's' effect allows me to Special Summon a Level 2 or lower monster from my Graveyard in mode. And I am going to bring back my 'Nitro Synchron'," Keio said as his 'Nitro Synchron' appeared back on the field. "Also since I have a Tuner monster on my side of the field, I can Special Summon my 'Quillbolt Hedgehog' from my Graveyard in DEF position." Keio said as his 'Quillbolt Hedgehog' appeared in front of him. "Now, I am going to Tune my 'Hedgehog' with my 'Junk Synchron' to summon my 'Junk Warrior' to the field." Keio said as his 'Junk Synchron' turned into three green rings and modified his Hedgehog until it transformed into a purple mechanical warrior with a jetpack.
Junk Warrior - Level 5, ATK 2300
" Wait, I’m not done yet. I’m going to Synchro Summon again.” Keio said with pleasure on his face. “I am going to tune my Junk Warrior with my Nitro Synchron.” Keio said as his Nitro Synchron turned into two balls of light and tuned his Junk Warrior. Then a Green Monster soon took its place. “I bring forth my Nitro Warrior.” Keio said.
Nitro Warrior - Level 7, ATK 2800, Synchro.
“Now I’m going to activate my Magnum Shield equip spell. Oh and don’t forget to claim your counters by the way. What this equip spell does is add my monsters defense points to his attack points giving him 4600 ATK. Oh, and once per turn, during either of our turns, if a Spell card is activated, my Nitro Warrior gains an extra 1000 ATK points until his next attack. That gives him a total of 5600 ATK. Now I am going to have Nitro Warrior take down 'Arcanite Magician/Assault Mode' with your Nitro Fist.” Keio said as his creature attacked his magician.
"I activate the effect of 'Defender, the Magical Knight'!" Alexander countered. "By removing one Spell Counter from my field, I can negate the destruction of a Spellcaster-Type monster on my field!" A dark orb disappeared from 'Magical Exemplar', sending her Spell Counters down to 16, and 'Defender' leaped in front of 'Arcanite Magician', an invisible barrier blocking the Turbo Punch.
The fist hits 'Defender's' barrier, but a shock wave is sent back to Alexander and Moros.
Alexander and Moros - 6600 LP -> 3900
“Well in that case, I’ll set one card face down and end my turn.” Keio said.
Turn 17: Alexander
Alexander and Moros - 3900 LP, (4 cards, 2 cards -> 5 monsters, 4 spell/traps)
Keio and Xavier - 6500 LP, (3 cards, 3 cards -> 1 monster, 2 spell/traps)
"Draw," Alexander said, drawing his next card. "This is the end for you guys," Alexander said, declaring his victory. "I activate 'Arcanite Magician's' effect! By removing two Spell Counters from it, I can destroy all cards my opponent controls! And, when an effect that requires Spell Counters is activated, I can use Spell Counters from 'Citadel' instead!" Two dark orbs flew away from 'Citadel' and into his staff, making it turn black and crackle with black electricity. "Dark Lightning Storm!" Alexander cried out as thick dark clouds appeared over Keio and Xavier's side of the field, which then released a barrage of dark lightning bolts, destroying everything on their side of the field.
"Wait, I'm going to activate my faced-down card, 'The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh' Now I can add a Kuriboh from my deck to my hand before you wipe out my field." Keio said as the card popped out from his deck.
"I'll switch 'Defender' to ATK mode and start my Battle Phase! 'King of Skull Servants', attack them directly with Revenge Blast!," Alexander commanded, and the undead skeleton fired a ball of dark energy.
"I activate the effect of my 'Spellsword of Warding'! While he is in my hand, if my opponent declares a direct attack, I can discard him to gain life points equal to the attacking monster's attack plus 300.
Keio and Xavier - 6500 LP -> 6800 LP
"'Arcanite Magician', attack them directly with Dark Discharge!" Alexander commanded, undeterred. 'Arcanite Magician' fired a bolt of dark lightning from his staff, depleting some of their Life Points
Keio and Xavier - 6800 LP -> 3900 LP
"'Defender', 'Exemplar', continue the assault!" Alexander commanded, the two monsters performing their respective attacks.
Keio and Xavier - 3900 LP -> 600 LP

"I'll activate the Spell card: 'Opti-camoflauge armour', when equipped to a level 1 monster it can attack directly." The skeleton's purple robes were covered by shimmering armor that made in blur in and out of vision. "Since I don't feel like hitting your face-down monster I think I'll go for a more direct approach. 'King of Skull Servants, destroy his LPs with Revenge Blast!"
"I activate Mirror Force, destroying all of your ATK position monsters, and since all of them are in ATK mode, say goodbye to all of them." Xavier said proudly.
"I activate the effect of my 'Defender', protecting my Spellcasters from destruction!" Alexander countered, three dark orbs disappearing from 'Magical Exemplar', and 'Defender' shielding them from the reflected blast. 'King of Skull Servants', however, was not so fortunate.
"Hmph, I guess I'll have to instead use 'Magical Exemplar' to attack your face-down monster." 'Magical Exemplar' fired a bolt of green energy from her hands at the unknown monster
Spellsword of Warding -> Level 4, DEF 2000 ATK 0
Alexander and Moros 3900-> 3600
Moros was undaunted by the flicker of reflected damage, "Fine then, 'Arcanite Magician' destroy his Spellsword and 'Defender' finish off his LP!" Arcanite Magician blasted the monster with dark lightning as Defender rushed past it to deliver the final blow.
"Wait, I'll activate the effect of the 'Kuriboh' in my hand. I can discard him from my hand to the Graveyard in order to block your attack," Keio said as his tiny brown fur ball appeared on the field to block Defender's attack.
"Drat," Moros muttered, he should've gone about that better. Oh well, he had no doubt they would still obtain victory. "Well my King might not have been safe from 'Mirror Force', but you should know zombies don't stay down for long. I'll activate the effect of 'Mezuki', which lets me banish him from my graveyard to Special Summon my 1 Zombie-Type monster from my graveyard, my 'King of Skull Servants' back to the field! With that I'll end my turn."
Turn 20: Keio
Alexander and Moros - 3600 LP, (4 cards, 2 cards -> 5 monsters, 4 spell/traps)

"First I am going to activate my 'Soul Release', now I can remove up to five cards from any players graveyard. Why don't I pick five of the ones that give your 'King' his power." Keio said as the King of the Skulls Servants power dropped from 6000 to 1000. "Now I'm going to banish my Kuriboh and the Calculator you made me discard a while back to special summon my 'Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning'." Keio said as a swordswoman with red hair and blacks armor appeared on the field.
Black Luster Solder - Envoy of the Beginning, Level 8, ATK 3000
"Now I'm going to equipped my 'Soldier' with the equip spell Junk Barrage. Now when my monster destroys a monster as a result of battle I can inflict damage equal to half of your destroyed monsters attack points. Now Black Luster Soldier destroy the 'King of the Skull Servants with your Black Luster Swing." Keio said as his monster struck down the 'King of the Skulls Servants. Then out of the 'Black Luster Soldier's Sword a pellet of junk shot at Moros.
"A monster unprotected is as good as useless," Moros proclaimed, "I activate the trap card 'Fiendish Chain', I can target one effect monster and negate its effects, and stop it form attacking." A clutser of chains raced out from the card ensaring the swordsman in weakness. "I believe that ends your turn?" Moros asked confidently.
"Well with an empty hand means it has to end." Keio stated.
Turn 21: Alexander
Alexander and Moros - 3600 LP, (5 cards, 2 cards -> 5 monsters, 4 spell/traps)

Dark Lightning Storm!" 2 dark orbs floated away from 'Citadel' and towards 'Arcanite Magician', conjured up another group of dark clouds, which released a barrage of dark lightning bolts, wiping their entire field once more.
"Battle! 'Arcanite Magician', attack them directly! Dark Discharge!" Alexander commanded, 'Arcanite Magician' firing a dark lightning bolt from his staff, depleting the last of Keio and Xavier's Life Points.
Keio and Xavier - 600 LP -> 0 LP
Moros grinned and whispered one word to the losers with a cunning smile, "Lobster."
