While drawing such cards might often feel like a dead draw, once one mastered the art of the god-draw, these very cards could ingeniously resolve boards that generic counters could not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third category was purely useless, valuable only for their price, much like many cards in his original body's deck when he first transmigrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, he had sold those high-priced yet useless normal monsters from his original deck immediately upon arriving; before the Moonlight Cup tournament, combined with the dojo subsidy, they had become his startup capital, fetching a decent price. Now, he naturally adhered to this same strategy: without seeing any cards he specifically needed, he simply packed the most expensive ones to sell, using the proceeds to buy what he actually required later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, this trip yielded a rather abundant harvest; among the cards that immediately struck him as awesome, the most representative were these few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Blood Compensation, Continuous Trap Card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Effect: Pay 500 Life Points to Normal Summon one monster. This effect can be activated during your Main Phase or during your opponent's Battle Phase.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Needless to say, this was a perennial banned card. As everyone knew in the Yu-Gi-Oh! sphere, any card capable of serving a life sentence in prison was essentially receiving a medal of honor; every card that consistently resided in the little black room possessed unique skills, with none being ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this card was officially imprisoned only in 2014; during the GX era, it wasn't banned in the real-card format. It was a typical example of an ancient banned card whose simple and brutal effect appeared increasingly broken as the meta evolved in later stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Executioner - Majushura, Level 4, ATK 1600\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Effect: During the turn this card is sent to the Graveyard, its owner can activate Trap Cards from their hand.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally another ultimate banned card serving a life sentence, its effect was later nerfed in reality years afterward, allowing it to be released. Its power needs no elaboration; the length of its sentence in the little black room was its most glorious resume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Volcanic Golem, Level 8, ATK 3000\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Effect: Cannot be Normal Summoned, but can be Special Summoned to your opponent's field by tributing two monsters on their field. You cannot Normal Summon during the turn you use this effect. Furthermore, this card's controller takes 1000 damage during each of their Standby Phases.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Needless to say, ever since its debut in the ancient anime in the hands of six-year-old Ma Like, it became the founding ancestor of the tribute style. Although it lacked the glorious little black room resume of the two big brothers mentioned earlier, it could still occasionally be seen in the modern Yu-Gi-Oh! environment even today, devouring even gods without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when the opponent spent three minutes talking through their plays, barely managing to summon two big brothers maxed out with resistances, only for Volcanic Golem to eat them up on your turn, the opponent's expression could often bring a dark player kimoji (pleasure) for an entire week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a monster capable of bringing great joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harvesting the joy of a bountiful yield, You Xuan carried the box out contentedly. However, just before leaving, Katsuya's expression became somewhat strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it my imagination, or do you seem to really like Ma Like's cards?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan fell into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't noticed it himself, but with Katsuya's reminder, it seemed indeed true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should he put it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of the sunny boy Ma Like, his awareness was ahead of its time—or rather, including his sister and his servant Rishid, every member of that Tombkeeper trio was no ordinary character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A whole pile of ancient dark tricks all originated from their family; one could say it was a matter of profound family heritage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This suddenly sparked a new thought in You Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mr. Ma family successfully completed their familial mission of sending the Pharaoh back to the netherworld at the end of DM, subsequently retiring from the world and never appearing again. But if they hadn't given up dueling over these years, after eight years, who knew what the dark trio had become.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were a chance in the future to pay them a visit, exchange the most advanced dark techniques, or even acquire some out-of-print brick cards, that would be even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, for now, this was merely a thought. The Tombkeeper clan had vanished without a trace; heaven knows where they had gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, You Xuan was very interested in the new style Duel Disk the President had revealed today and casually asked Katsuya if he had one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, it seemed to be a non-saleable item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, it had been classified as a \"weapon system,\" so it couldn't be casually distributed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan thought this made perfect sense. If everyone could buy Duel Disks that directly summoned solid monsters for physical attacks, traditional firearms would instantly appear utterly weak by comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, the latest model Duel Disk is no problem; it's also an unreleased version,\" Katsuya smiled. \"Of course, it won't have the weapon system.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, You Xuan happily acquired another new-style Duel Disk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning fully loaded, You Xuan planned to go home tonight to carefully count his harvest, listing the items for sale on the academy's trading platform first. He also intended to review the insights gained over these past days and adjust his deck incorporating the new cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through reviewing his duels over these past days, You Xuan had begun to notice something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he wasn't sure whether it was due to his innate talent as a transmigrated card gamer or simply because he had obtained the elf's bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan felt he had already acquired a certain degree of \"Destiny Power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing was invisible and intangible; it was merely something he had summarized through actual combat and multiple practice tests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he felt he couldn't match the anime protagonists who effortlessly one-shot several nobodies right from their opening hand, and he didn't yet dare to stuff several unrelated systems into one deck like the protagonists did, he should still be capable of achieving god-draws at a most basic level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on his own not-necessarily-accurate speculation, he was perhaps roughly on par with an ordinary first-rate expert in the jianghu, which equated to the level of an average bystander in the Duel Academy arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might sound ordinary, but for an average card gamer, this was already sufficient to allow him to make some bolder adjustments to his deck strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the most basic point was that he felt he could now try to break a habit formed over many years—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—expanding his deck to over forty cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night fell over the city coastline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A helicopter slowly descended, like a giant steel eagle gently touching the ground, its rotors spinning under the night sky with a buzzing roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blonde man, a cigarette dangling from his mouth and wearing sunglasses, jumped calmly out of the cabin with his hands in his pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out his phone, dialed a number, and leisurely exhaled two rings of smoke while waiting for the connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call connected quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's me,\" the man said lazily. \"I've landed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Our people have already scout out some basic intelligence on the ruins from the perimeter; we'll send it to you before tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde man took another deep drag of his cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice on the other end spoke coldly: \"Be careful. I just received a report that 'Blood Moon' has been dealt with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde man paused, startled: \"Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"'Blood Moon,' a dark dueler group under our organization.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, so they were just cannon fodder. You don't think those noobs can compare to yours truly, do you?\" the blonde man chuckled with a snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The report says Kaiba Seto personally went there to resolve it,\" the voice said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's smile vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kaiba is in the city?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems so. That's why I'm telling you to be careful; don't get caught.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch, if I get caught, I get caught. Besides, I've long wanted to test how I compare to that Kaiba nowadays.\" The blonde man snorted heavily. \"I'm a completely different person now compared to back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mission first,\" the voice said indifferently. \"Don't die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, I got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde man cursed a couple of times, hung up the phone, and crushed out his cigarette butt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kaiba Seto. Tch, what a hassle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1552,"2026-06-19T08:58:34.393Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a5e1d6feeb4e7bbb9f80479bfdd310de8f635ecbc676ef93af92710cdd7b56b7","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-49","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-47",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwho-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-cover.jpg"]
