The Announcement of Kaiba's Newest Tournament

*Kaiba announces the rules of his latest tournament*

"Fellow duelists, I introduce my latest tournament rules to you," said Kaiba. First of all, like the Monster Spell or Trap tournament, you are forbidden to see the cards in your hands. Instead of summoning the cards to the field like the second Monster Spell or Trap Tournament, you set the cards in Defense Mode. On your turn, if you control a face down card, flip it face up. If the card is a Monster Card, leave it in Attack Mode, if not, send it to the Graveyard. No lifepoints are lost. The lifepoints lost are the same in this tournament as in the first version of this tournament. Neither player can attack directly no matter what the situation. You only lose lifepoints if the Spell or Trap Card is destroyed during battle. To be exact, you lose 100 lifepoints if a Spell Card is destroyed. 200 lifepoints are deducted if your Trap Card is destroyed during battle. All cards in the Monster Card Zones count as Monsters and all cards in the Spell and Trap Card Zones are Spell and Trap Cards. Now that I have given you the rules, use them to duel! Yugi Muto, you're my first opponent!

"Fine, Kaiba," said Yugi. *Yugi transforms into Yami using the Millennium Puzzle*

"I'll go first," said Kaiba. I set 1 monster in Defense Mode. That ends my turn

"So will I," said Yami. That ends my turn.

"I reveal my face down monster, Paladin of White Dragon (1900/1200)," said Kaiba. Then, I set one card in Defense Mode. Paladin, destroy his face down card! *The face down Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) is not destroyed and Kaiba's lifepoints drop to 3300* That ends my turn.

"I set 1 card in Defense Mode," said Yami. That's all for now.

"I flip summon my face down card, Dark Hole (0/0)," said Kaiba. My card may be destroyed but my lifepoints are safe since it was not destroyed during battle. Paladin of White Dragon, destroy his face down monster! *The face down Cyber Jar (900/900) is destroyed* No, Cyber Jar!

"Yes and you know what that means, Kaiba," said Yami. Say goodbye to your monsters! *Big Shield Gardna, Yami's mystery card and Paladin of White Dragon are destroyed* We must also draw five cards from our decks and set any level-4 or lower cards that we draw since this is how the card works according to your tournament.

"I set 3 cards in Defense Mode," said Kaiba.

"I set 1 monster in Defense Mode and end my turn," said Yami.

"I also set 1 card in Defense Mode, ending my turn," said Kaiba.

"My move," said Yami. I reveal my face down card, Dark Magician (2500/2100)! Dark Magician, destroy his face down card! *The face down Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500) is not destroyed* Not Blue-Eyes! *Kaiba laughs*

"That's what you get for attacking it," said Kaiba.

"I set 1 card in Defense Mode. Finally, I discard two cards to the Graveyard to make my hand equal 6. That ends my turn," said Yami.

"I set another monster in Defense Mode," said Kaiba. Then, I switch Blue-Eyes to Attack Mode. Blue-Eyes, destroy his Dark Magician! *Dark Magician is destroyed and Yami's lifepoints drop to 3500* That ends my turn.

"I reveal my card, a second Blue-Eyes (3000/2500)," said Kaiba. Then, I set another card in Defense Mode. That ends my turn since you don't have a monster on the field.

"I reveal my face down card, Sorcerer of Dark Magic (3200/2800) in Attack Mode," said Yami. Then, I set 1 card in Defense Mode. Sorcerer, destroy his Blue-Eyes! *Blue-Eyes White Dragon is destroyed and Kaiba's lifepoints drop to 3100* That ends my turn.

"First, I flip summon the mighty Luster Dragon #2 (2400/1400) in Attack Mode," said Kaiba. That ends my turn. Give me your best shot, Yugi!
