"Hmph, then I'll activate the Magic Card 'Magic Planter,'" Kaiba said coldly. "Send a Continuous Magic Card on the field to the graveyard and draw two cards from the deck." (anime effect)
Although this card is named "Magic" Planter, in the physical card version, the activation cost was changed from "Continuous Magic" to "Continuous Trap."
"I'll send the Continuous Magic 'D.D Hangar' to the graveyard and draw cards from the deck!"
The power of the XYZ Dragon Cannon was also neutralized, yet it seemed President Kaiba still hadn't given up and wasn't shaken in the slightest.
It's as if none of this could shake his confidence in his path to victory.
Continuing to draw cards, with the new two cards in hand, he seemed to have found another counterattack.
"Magic Card 'Soul Taker'!" Kaiba revealed a card directly, "Destroy one monster on the field as the cost, and then the opponent will gain 1000 Life Points!
The monster I want to destroy is, of course—
——Buster Blader!"
The monster effect isn't working, so let's directly use a clearing Magic. In this period's environment, a card like Soul Taker, which provides excellent field-clearing single card power, is still rather powerful. Sacrificing a mere 1000 Life Points could be exchanged for a powerful monster being taken down, which seems like a quite worthwhile trade.
Rolling black clouds descended from the sky, and the withered, hideous demonic hand slowly reached for the Buster Blader, like a reaper about to harvest the swordsman's soul.
But a red card popped out from the graveyard with professional commentary: "Then I'll activate the Trap Card 'Destruction Sword Flash' effect again!"
Mokuba was surprised: "Didn't this card already activate and enter the graveyard?"
But it's an effect that only has meaning after entering the graveyard!
"'Destruction Sword Flash' in the graveyard can be banished from the game when the Buster Blader on the field is targeted by a Magic, Trap, or Monster effect, negating that effect and destroying it!"
The Buster Blader swung his large sword again, cleaving with a strike that split the demonic hand into two, scattering into powder and disappearing.
"So powerful..." a passerby could not help but exclaim.
"Isn't this completely flawless?"
"The monster's ability suppression is too severe, double restraint on Dragon-Type monster effects and attack values, and even a sure-hit like 'Destruction Sword Flash'...even that Kaiba Seto can't do anything, right?"
Mokuba couldn't help but panic, tugging on Youyu's sleeve: "Brother Youyu, my brother couldn't possibly really..."
Youyu smiled, patting his head.
"Don't worry about it, what do you think your brother is? Just watch."
"Oh...okay."
Given Youyu's assurance, Mokuba wasn't worried anymore.
On the stage, Kaiba didn't know if he had heard Youyu's words, glanced sideways at him, and then let out a light snort.
"Activating the Magic Card 'Pot of Greed' from my hand, both players draw three cards from their decks."
Sure enough, as Youyu expected, the president, whose offensive strategies were once again thwarted, didn't stop his actions: "Magic Card 'Silent Doom'! Revive a Normal Monster from the graveyard!"
The symbol of resurrection emerged, data transforming into a card in Kaiba's hand.
"Revive from the graveyard, my strongest servant—
——Blue-Eyes White Dragon, summon!!!"
The Blue-Eyes White Dragon was revived from the graveyard, descending onto the field with sacred radiance, yet it was still immediately suppressed by the presence of the destruction sword, having to remain in defense position.
Though the "effect cannot be activated" restriction of the destruction sword doesn't affect the noble Blue-Eyes, since it has no effects to begin with...
[Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Defense 2500]
Mokuba remained puzzled: "Even if he summons the White Dragon under these circumstances..."
But everyone immediately knew the answer.
Kaiba suddenly raised his voice: "Maybe you think my Blue-Eyes is helpless against the 'Buster Blader's' blockade?
But such a level of blockade might be effective on ordinary dragons, but my Blue-Eyes rises above them all!"
The president repeatedly calling "my Blue-Eyes" made a certain spirit companion of the White Dragon lower her head more and more, blushing as if she were about to be steamed...
"Magic Card 'Burst Stream of Destruction'!!!" President Kaiba waved his hand grandly, "When 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' exists on the field, destroy all monsters on the opponent's field!!!"
The arena once again descended into chaos, with all the spectators expressing the same sentiment—
—President Kaiba is amazing!
"Indeed! Even if Dragon-Type monster effects can't be activated, Magic Cards still work!" Mokuba's eyes lit up.
Though "Burst Stream of Destruction" is indeed based on Blue-Eyes White Dragon's effect, it appears as a Support Card effect rather than its own effect, and thus isn't affected by the 'Buster Blader's' effect restriction.
This wave, ah, this wave is the victory of the Normal Monster.
The Blue-Eyes White Dragon proudly roared, holding its head high, seeming to want to give its best performance for its master's praise.
The storm of destruction brewed in the White Dragon's mouth, with a light bullet of the gale sweeping throughout the field. Under that destructive power, the Buster Blader and Buster Blader were shattered and completely left the field.
The audience erupted in applause!
"Amazing! As expected of big brother!" Mokuba clapped frantically, leading the cheers.
He even felt foolish for having doubted his brother's victory for a moment.
