Heroic Spirit Deck in Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 249 - 249

[Seto Kaiba VS Yugi Muto VS Chiyuki Hoshino VS Marik Ishtar]

[Duel Start!]

"I'll take the first move! Draw!" Kaiba declared as the duel began. Following clockwise order, Yugi was next, then Hoshino, with Marik going last.

"I summon [Kaiser Sea Horse] in Attack Position. Then, I set two cards face-down. Turn end."

[Kaiser Sea Horse★★★★ (Level 4)][LIGHT][Sea Serpent/Effect][ATK 1700/DEF 1650]

For Kaiba, this was a conservative opening—quite uncharacteristic given his usual preference for summoning powerful monsters like Blue-Eyes White Dragon right out of the gate.

"My turn! Draw!" Yugi declared. "I activate the Spell Card [Dark Magic Curtain] from my hand!"

[Dark Magic Curtain – Spell Card Effect: Pay half your LP; Special Summon 1 [Dark Magician] from your Deck. You cannot Summon other monsters the turn you activate this card.]

With a flash of black light, the iconic Dark Magician emerged from the ominous curtain.

[Dark Magician★★★★★★★ (Level 7)][DARK][Spellcaster][ATK 2500/DEF 2100]

"I'll set two cards face-down and end my turn," Yugi announced.

Since this was a free-for-all duel, no player could enter their Battle Phase during their first turn.

"My turn! Draw!"

When Hoshino's turn arrived, she drew her card and carefully considered her strategy. If she wanted to ensure Marik would be her opponent in the semifinals, she had two options:

1. Defeat both Kaiba and Yugi, leaving Marik as the other survivor.

2. Reduce Marik's Life Points to zero, then allow herself to be eliminated.

The second option was far easier to execute. Simultaneously defeating both Kaiba and Yugi in this kind of duel was nearly impossible. Prioritizing Marik was the more viable approach.

"I summon [Fairy Tales of the Lilies] in Attack Position!"

[Fairy Tales of the Lilies★ (Level 1)][LIGHT][Spellcaster/Effect][ATK 100/DEF 400]

"Now, I activate its effect! I tribute Fairy Tales of the Lilies to Special Summon a Lily monster from my Deck!"

After

"Altera the San(ta) has arrived! Ho ho ho, my soft and fluffy Master and children, your long-awaited Santa Claus is here!"
