How annoying.

[she huffs and takes her cards back]

[godcards]

[ He smirks, taking his own deck back and setting it to the side. ]

Draw five cards. [ he demonstrates. ]

I'll go first, so I can't draw again... But you can draw when it's your turn.

[ ok what actually does he have in his hand-- ]

I play Vampiric Leech in Attack Mode. This monster can attack first-- So you lose 500 life points. I'll set one card face down and end my turn.

[wtfox]

[she draws!

--and oh, what the fuck, that's just rude. farewell, life points.

she makes a face as he has his monster attack, and then draws another card when it's her turn. let's see, let's see...]

I'm going to play this card face-down, in defense mode...

[down it goes!]

And I'm going to set this card.

[is it a magic card? is it a trap card? who knows!]

...your turn.

[godcards]

My turn. [ Draw! ]

I put Vampiric Leech in defense mode, and place Drillago in attack mode! Drillago attacks and I end my turn.

[ "I'm not scared of a couple of face down cards" he says, canonically. ]

[wtfox]

[she flips over... aussa the earth charmer! she also flips over the trap card, unpossessed.]

If I'm reading the effect right, you can't actually destroy this monster, right? Also, I think your Vampiric Leech is mine now?

[godcards]

[ He frowns, and actually has to get up to read the text since he doesn't use charmer cards. ]

That's right. Vampiric Leech is yours, and Aussa survives... Although you still take 100 points of damage.

[ He sits back down and slides Vampiric Leech to Lila's side of the field. ]

My turn... I draw. [ calculating... ]

I play one card face down, and Newdoria in attack mode. Turn end.

[wtfox]

...you're not attacking?

[hm! hm, that doesn't bode well. she draws a card, her brow furrowed, and immediately sets it face down with the monsters.]

I play one card face down, and... I'm changing Vampiric Leech to defense mode. End turn.

[godcards]

[ Malik draws. ]

I end my turn without attacking.

[wtfox]

[lila draws, and takes a moment to read the description of her new card. a moment later, she smiles, as britt marvels at how nice rng was with this deck shuffling.]

Okay, so first I'm going to... [she flips over the card that was in face-down defense mode! hello, old vindictive magician.] ...get rid of that [she leans over and double-checks the name] Newdoria of yours.

And then I'm... sending Aussa and the Vampiric Leech to the graveyard so that I can special summon Familiar-Possessed - Aussa! In attack mode. Can I have her attack Drillago right away? Because I'd like for her to do that.

[godcards]

Yes... You can do that. [ Except Malik really doesn't sound happy about it, and he takes both Newdoria and Drillago off the field and places them in the Graveyard. Well. This wasn't supposed to fucking happen. ]

I take 250 points damage. My turn...

[ He draws. His facial expression doesn't change, but it's apparent that he still isn't happy. He has three cards in his hand and three on the field, and none of them are monsters. ]

...I pass.

[ Now he sounds a little pissed. ]

[wtfox]

[me, looking at the unpossessed trap card's effect: don't we add 800 points onto that?

lila, who doesn't have the card's effect memorized and mainly just used it to avoid her charmer getting wiped out: ]

Let's see...

[she draws a card.]

I think I'll have Aussa and the Old Vindictive Magician attack you directly.

[godcards]

[ i can't fucking read and malik cheats anyway so thats my cover story, ]

Not so fast-- I play my quick spell card, Dark Wall of Wind! [ he flips the face down card over ] I don't take any damage from monsters this turn. Too bad...

Now it's my turn again. I draw, and I play Monster Reborn! Newdoria is back from the graveyard, and attacks your Old Vindictive Magician!

[wtfox]

...

[lila frowns.]

Quick spell card? What's the difference between that and a trap card?

[sorry, she's derailing because she's annoyed about not being able to wipe out his life points.]

[godcards]

It's a spell card. It's useful to me, instead of countering against you.

[ look he didn't make the card game he just plays it ]

[wtfox]

...how is countering against me not useful to you?

[she's judging these rules.]

[godcards]

[ TAKE IT UP WITH PEGASUS. ]

It's a different category. Spells usually enhance monsters or are to my direct benefit. Traps are usually to disrupt and counter opponents' strategies and plays. It's a subtle difference...

[wtfox]

Ugh, fine. So I take...

[she leans down to double-check the old vindictive magician's attack points, then moves it to the graveyard.]

...750 points of damage.

[she draws a card, then sets a card down in the trap/spell area; as she does, she rereads unpossessed's effect. then she rereads newdoria's effect and wrinkles her nose.]

...I end my turn.

[godcards]

[ malik draws, his lips curling into a smile. ]

I play Viser Des in attack mode, and then - [ he flips one of the two remaining face down cards ] - I activate Machine Duplication! I can summon two more Viser Des to the field.

[ so he does that. It is never explained how they are able to do this without looking at their deck and without having to reshuffle. a mystery. ]

And now... I will have Newdoria attack your Familiar-Possessed Aussa! I may have to sacrifice a couple of life points for it, but Newdoria's effect activates! Send your charmer to the graveyard! And all three of my Viser Des will attack you directly for 1500 life points!

[wtfox]

Wrong.

[she smiles sweetly and flips over the trap card she'd set last turn!]

You've activated my trap - Storming Mirror Force! All of your attack position monsters go back to your hand before you can attack me. At least, I think that's what happens? Am I reading the effect right, Malik?

[godcards]

[ well that wiped the grin right off his face. he doesn't give her the dignity of an answer and swipes up his four monsters-- but then comes the problem that he has 7 cards in his hand now, which means he'll be forced to discard one when he draws again. SO THANKS FOR THAT. ]

[wtfox]

[she will take that sour look on his face as a yes and just. smiles.

draws a card now that it's her turn... and immediately plays it.]

I play Awakening of the Possessed! My Familiar-Possessed Aussa only gets 300 extra attack points, right now, but she can't be destroyed by card effects anymore. Aaaand... she attacks you directly for 2150 points of damage. [a beat.] Wait, no, 2950 because of Unpossessed, right?

[kelsey, this charming magicians deck you found is way too op for a casual deck. im crying.]

[godcards]

[ i'm banning unpossessed sorry you're disqualified ]

That's right.

My turn. [ He is far less excited right now and just kinda mad. He places a card in the graveyard, and places a new card in the spell/trap zone. ]

I play... Newdoria. [ And he doesn't sound happy about it. ]

[wtfox]

[honestly that's fucking valid what the fuck it doesn't even have like a life point cost or something? hello??? yugioh card makers what were you thinking????

anyway, she draws a card and hums to herself, immediately placing it in face-down defense mode.]

...I end my turn.

[she could just attack but that would be too easy and frankly i feel bad that she's this close to winning.]

[godcards]

[ ボクのターン… rip he has to discard again when he draws. but he'll put another card in the spell/trap zone. ]

I sacrifice Newdoria and summon Legend Devil. I end my turn.

[wtfox]

[lila flips over a man-eater bug. im so sorry.]

Byeeee, Legend Devil.

[im leaving this tag here in case he has a trap card or something that would prevent that.]
