When a card game club is pulled into the Yu-Gi-Oh! world by the system

"Tch, what's the use? A mere 1800 points of defense, I can easily destroy it."

"Then they Special Summon a Mechanical Giant from their deck and punch you in the back."

"Hmm...then I'll use the magic tube—"

"When the opponent attacks with a Mechanical Giant, they cannot activate Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step."

"Then I'll fall into the abyss when he summons me—"

"Alright, give me a break. All you're good for is talking. I can play cards in my head too, so I'll just use my forbidden artifact..."

Therefore, playing cards in your head is not advisable.

Sometimes in Yu-Gi-Oh! groups, I see people mentally playing cards without warning, seemingly able to draw whatever cards they want. I often do this too. Discussions are fine, but let's avoid mental battles, because someone will inevitably say something like "hand trap," and you'll instinctively retaliate, leading to an argument...

To reiterate, playing cards in your head is not advisable.

Upon seeing the mechanical demon appear, Fuma Taro's face showed a slight movement. As a ninja, he naturally needed to understand the information about these people first, and he was well aware of the mechanical demon card with all resistances.

"【Ancient Mechanical Demon God】Effect activated - Can only be activated during your Main Phase. Inflicts 1000 damage to the opponent. Demon God Flame Cannon!"

Armed forces were deployed, and long-range strikes began.

The six cannons roared simultaneously, striking the enemy from a great distance and sending dust billowing into the air.

Fuma Taro LP: 4000→3000

"Normal summoning of the [Golden Gear], preparing for battle—"

As the battle has begun, he only has [Golden Gear] in attack position on the field, but if this attack hits the opponent's LP, it will be in grave danger.

Why not make the [Ancient Mechanical Demon God] an attack position as well, and directly reduce the opponent's damage to 300?

He was a member of the Blue Dorm with a great track record; it would be strange if he were killed so easily.

"Activate Faceless Trap Card: Cry of the Living Dead - You can activate this card by targeting 1 monster in your Graveyard. Special Summon that monster in Attack Position. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. When that monster is destroyed, destroy this card."

"Return! [Ninja Leader Hanzo]!"

The ninja leader buried in the grave opened his cloudy eyes; he could hear a voice calling to him.

Since his lord still needs him, he must continue to fight for his lord.

With great difficulty, he picked up his burial ninja sword and slowly dug open his own grave.

At this moment, Oni Hanzo has returned from the mortal world in the form of a true demon.

"【Ninja Leader Hanzo】another effect activated—When this card is Flip Summoned or Special Summoned, you can add 1 "Ninja" monster from your Deck to your hand, except for 'Ninja Leader Hanzo.' Add 【Yellow Ninja】to your hand."

"Then let's end the battle, turn one."

Seeing this, Chang Yan simply ended his turn.

I'm 100 points behind, no matter how I fight, I can't beat them.

Tsukimori Doman (Common Saying) Hand Count: 2

Fuma Taro's hand cards: 3

"Activate the face-down card at the moment your turn ends!"

The ninja leader on the field immediately began to skillfully form hand seals, so fast that he left afterimages, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

"Continuous Trap Card [Ninja Transformation Technique] — You can activate this card by Tributing 1 face-up 'Ninja' monster you control. Special Summon 1 Beast/Winged Beast/Insect monster from your hand or Deck with a Level 3 or less equal to the Level of the Tributed Monster. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster."

"Hanzo, the Ninja Leader, is summoned from the Liberation Field, and a Level 7 Beast Ninja is Special Summoned from the Deck—"

"【Black Dragon Ninja】!"

A black dragon soul swirled around Hanzo, and as the final ninja seal was completed, a glint of light flashed in Hanzo's eyes. The black dragon quickly wrapped around him, and then a ninja dressed in completely unconventional attire, looking like he was from a comedy, ran out.

Black Dragon Ninja

Star rating: 7

Attribute: Dark

Race: Beast

Attack: 2800

Defense: 1700

Although it looks funny, its fighting power is real.

"【Black Dragon Ninja】This card can only be Special Summoned by the effect of a 'Ninja' monster or a 'Ninja Technique' card."

"Next turn, draw a card!"

"Summon the [Yellow-Clad Ninja]."

A ninja dressed in yellow ninja attire, surrounded by blue ghosts, rode the wind and appeared to be very strong.

Yellow-clad ninja

Star rating: 4

Attribute: Wind

Race: Warrior

Attack: 1900

Defense: 1800

With 4 stars, such high attack and defense, and being a warrior, even a basic version could fetch a high price here.

"Activate the effect of [Yellow Ninja] - This effect can only be activated if this card is Normal Summoned or Flip-Up. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower 'Ninja' monster from your hand, face-up Attack Position or face-down Defense Position."

"However, after this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck that are not 'Ninja' monsters until the end of this turn."

At this point, there were absolutely no side effects, so I don't know why he said it.

I'm not telling you yet, because I'm afraid you'll excitedly build your decks only to find out you can't tell the story and come back beating me up.

Special Summon [Gold Ninja] from your hand in face-up Attack Position.

A portly rich man, determined to be a ninja, makes a grand entrance with his pure gold arm armor, ninja sword, and headband. "I may be a little fat, but I'm rich!"

Attribute: Light

Race: Warrior

Attack: 500

Defense: 1800

"The effect of [Golden Ninja] is activated, sending the Continuous Trap Card [Ninja Art: Demon Transformation Technique] from the hand to the Graveyard, and Special Summoning [Face-Covered Ninja Ebisu] from the Deck."

Ebisu is the god of wealth in Japanese mythology, but this card refers to Ebisu-maru, Goemon's partner in the KONAMI game series "Great Thief Goemon".

But it's surprising that KONAMI and his games are here too...

Masked Ninja Ebisu

Star rating: 4

Attribute: Wind

Race: Warrior

Attack: 1200

Defense: 1800

"During the battle phase, the [Yellow-Clad Ninja] attacks the [Ancient Mechanical Demon God]! Ninja Kill!"

The ninja nodded silently upon receiving the instruction, then formed hand seals, and all the blue ghosts around him condensed into missiles that shot towards the mechanical demon god.

"puff--"

Surprisingly, these ghost bullets had no effect on the mechanical demon, not even leaving a scratch.

Taking advantage of the Ghost Bullet drawing the Mechanical Demon God's attention, the yellow shadow suddenly darted out from his blind spot, severing the steel shell with terrifying resistance along with its core with a sharp slash.

"BOOOOM————!"

"[Ancient Gear Demon] effect activated - If this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 'Ancient Gear' monster from your Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions."

"Come forth, [Ancient Mechanical Giant]!"

The colossal giant awoke amidst a sparse layer of dust, its crimson probes scanning the strangely dressed figures beneath its feet.

Combat power level: Can kill with one punch

"Activate the effect of the Continuous Trap [Ninja Art: Shadow Stitching Technique], liberate the [Golden Ninja] on the field, and banish your [Ancient Mechanical Giant]!"

Ebisu has a special effect: he can attack directly. He might bring Fuma Taro an unexpected victory.

Moreover, this card is a limited edition, and he only has one.

This time, the pot-bellied ninja began to form hand seals. Don't let his size fool you; his hand speed is actually quite fast.

The figures of the Azure Dragon and the White Dragon reappeared, and this time the two dragons completely sank a mechanical giant into the abyss and sealed it away.

"Then, [Black Dragon Ninja] attacks [Golden Gear], Dragon Soul Devour!"

Hehe, it seems my arrangements have finally paid off.

Seeing the black dragon's phantom, baring its fangs and claws, about to devour the golden gear-man, Chang Yan revealed a smile.

Since the duel began, the second effect of his gears hasn't been triggered yet...

That's something the Gears can be proud of—a super defensive formation.

Tsukishiro Doman (often said) LP: 4000→2900

"【Golden Gear】Another effect activated————!"

What? This gear-like man, dressed entirely in the colors of a nouveau riche, is actually effective!

Besides Special Summoning a Level 4 Machine-Type monster from your hand, what other effects does it have...?

But it's only one 4-star monster, so the effect probably won't be much stronger...
