Snake Reign (1)
*In an alley…*
"Viper's gotta be around here somewhere," said Yugi.
"We'll find him," said Joey. *Elsewhere…*
"Viper, you owe me!" said Adrian.
"What do you mean, Mr. Geko?" asked Viper.
"We had a deal, I join your side if you give me access to the power you possess!" said Adrian.
"You misunderstand, it wasn't that we made a deal," said Viper.
"What say we duel and if you win, I agree with what you said but if I win, you agree with what I said," said Adrian.
"Fine," said Viper. This should be amusing.
"I'm starting," said Adrian. I play Summon Cloud. This allows me to play a Level 4 or less Cloudian monster from my hand so I summon Cloudian - Poison Cloud (1000) in Defense Mode. Next, I use Big Summon Cloud, letting me play Cloudian - Eye of the Typhoon (3000) in Attack Mode for half my points. *His LPs drop to 4000* I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (1)
"I play Snake Rain, which sends 4 Reptile-Type monsters from my deck to my Grave by discarding 1 card," said Viper. Next, I activate Venom Swamp! With this card in play, at every End Phase, all non-Venom monsters get a Venom Counter and lose 500 ATK for each counter they have. When their ATK hits 0, they're automatically destroyed. Next, I summon Venom Snake (1200) in Attack Mode. I use his effect, giving your Eye of the Typhoon a Venom Counter and weakening it! *Eye of the Typhoon's ATK drops to 2500* Finally , I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. Your monsters get counters! *Eye of the Typhoon's ATK drops to 2000* (0)
"He may have only 2000 ATK but he can still dish out heavy rain to you," said Adrian. First, thanks to Big Summon Cloud, my hand is discarded. Eye of the Typhoon, destroy Venom Snake! *Venom Snake is destroyed and Viper's LPs drop to 7200*
"Thanks for I activate Damage = Reptile and Snake Whistle!" said Viper. With Snake Whistle, I can play a Level 4 or less Reptile-Type monster and I choose Venom Serpent (0800) in Defense Mode. Then, thanks to Damage = Reptile, I can summon the almighty Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes (0000) in Attack Mode.
"Big deal, my monster is far stronger," said Adrian.
"He won't be for long," said Viper. Thanks to Vennominon's effect, he gets 500 ATK for every Reptile-Type monster in my Grave! *Vennominon's ATK rises to 2500*
"I end my turn," said Adrian. *Eye of the Typhoon's ATK drops to 1500* (0)
"I play Venom Shot," said Viper. I send a Reptile-Type monster from my deck to my Grave and put 2 Venom Counters on a face up monster you control and I choose your Eye of the Typhoon! Plus, with yet another Reptile-Type monster in my Grave, Vennominon gets 500 more ATK! *Vennominon's ATK rises to 3000 while Eye of the Typhoon's ATK drops to 500*Vennominon, destroy his Typhoon!
"I activate Mirage Target!" said Adrian. Your attack is cancelled and I send a Cloudian monster from my deck to my Grave and gain its ATK in my LPs! I send Nimbusman! *His LPs rise to 5000*
"It won't matter for now that my turn is over, your Typhoon gets another counter and is destroyed!" said Viper. *Typhoon's ATK drops to 0 and is destroyed* (0)
"I won't discard for Big Summon Cloud," said Adrian. *Big Summon Cloud is destroyed* Next, I play Cloudian - Sheep Cloud (0000) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)
"I tribute Venom Serpent for Venom Boa (1600) in Attack Mode," said Viper. Boa, destroy his Sheep Cloud! *Sheep Cloud is destroyed and two tokens (0000) appear*
"When Sheep Cloud is destroyed in battle, it summons two Sheep Tokens," said Adrian.
"Vennominon, destroy Poison Cloud!" said Viper. *Poison Cloud is destroyed* *Vennominon is then destroyed and Viper's LPs drop to 6400*
"They call him Poison Cloud and that's because when he's destroyed in battle, so is the monster that destroyed it and you are poisoned of 800 LPs," said Adrian. The only thing that's clear is my victory!
