'''World Championship 2013 Special: Mai vs. Yugi''' was a scripted Duel that took place during the 2011 North American World Championship Qualifier on August 11, 2013. [[Erica Schroeder]] and [[Dan Green]] reprised their roles as [[Mai Valentine]] and [[Yami Yugi]], respectively. Several of the characters used cards never before seen in the series. Unlike previous scripted duels, there is an official video of the entire event as opposed to a simple video display of the playing field, and each character's name and Life Point count are displayed above their respective duel fields. Also, multiple copies of cards were used to simulate anime effects, such as "[[Magical Hats]]" and "[[Multiply]]".

Turn 1: Mai
 
  
Mai [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Harpie Channeler]]" (1400/1300). She [[activate]]s its effect, [[discard]]ing a "[[Harpie]]" card to Special Summon a "Harpie" monster from her Deck in Defense Position. Mai discards "[[Harpie's Pet Baby Dragon]]" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Harpie's Pet Dragon]]" (2000/2500). "Harpie's Pet Dragon" gains 300 ATK for each "Harpie Lady" Mai controls; because "Harpie Channeler" is treated as "Harpie Lady" while on the field or Graveyard, "Harpie's Pet Dragon" gains 300 ATK/DEF ("Harpie's Pet Dragon": 2000/2500 → 2300/2800). Mai [[Set]]s two cards.
+
Mai claims the first turn, shocking Yugi by summoning the [[Level]] 7 "[[Harpie's Pet Dragon]]". Yugi counters with his iconic [[Dark Magician (series)]], using [[Equip Card]]s. However, with her set [[Trap]]s, Mai manages to protect her Dragon and destroy "[[Dark Magician Girl]]". On his next turn, dispelling Mai's scoff of his weaker monsters, Yugi summons the [[Ritual Monster]] "[[Magician of Black Chaos]]", thanking the powers of his individual monsters needed to bring out a stronger monster. Mai counters by [[Xyz Summon]]ing "[[Harpie's Pet Phantasmal Dragon]]", a [[Direct Attack]]ing monster that cannot be [[attack]]ed itself. Yugi attempts to stall with [[Spell]]s and [[Trap]]s, but Mai destroys them with "[[Harpie's Feather Duster]]" and "[[Harpies' Hunting Ground]]". However, Yugi ultimately claims victory, being able to summon an [[Egyptian God]] supported by a heavy amount of [[Special Summon]]ed monsters, including an entire deck of "[[Kuriboh]]" thrown onto the field.
  
Turn 2: Yugi
+
Although she lost, Mai finds relief in the fact that Yugi had to resort to using an Egyptian God Card to win the duel. Mai, regretting not including "[[Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation]]" in her Deck, thanks Yugi for the duel, who complements her in return. Mai expresses her intent to expand her deck, while Yugi goes to watch the runner-up duel in the Dragon World Championship between Niels Kühnberger of Germany and Marco Ruiz Campos of Costa Rica.
  
Yugi activates "[[Dark Magic Curtain]]", paying half his Life Points (Yugi: 4000 → 2000) to Special Summon "[[Dark Magician Girl]]" (2000/1700) from his Deck in Attack Position. Yugi activates "[[Sage's Stone]]"; as he controls a "Dark Magician Girl," he Special Summons "[[Dark Magician]]" from his hand in Attack Position (2500/2100). Yugi equips "Dark Magician" with "[[Magic Formula]]", increasing its ATK by 700 ("Dark Magician": 2500 → 3200). Yugi equips "Dark Magician Girl" with [[Mage Power]], increasing its ATK/DEF by 500 for each Spell/Trap card Yugi controls ("Dark Magician Girl": 2000/1700 → 3000/2700). Yugi Sets a card and "Dark Magician Girl" gains 500 more ATK/DEF (3000/2700 → 3500/3200). Yugi attacks "Harpie Channeler" with "Dark Magician", but Mai activates her face-down "[[Mirror Wall]]" to halve the ATK of all of Yugi's monsters when they declare an attack ("Dark Magician Girl": 3200 → 1600). "Harpie Channeler" is destroyed (Mai: 4000 → 3800) and "Harpie's Pet Dragon" loses 300 ATK/DEF ("Harpie's Pet Dragon": 2300/2800 → 2000/2500). During his Main Phase 2, Yugi activates "[[Thousand Knives]]" to destroy a card on the field as he controls "Dark Magician"; he targets "Harpie's Pet Dragon", but Mai [[chain]]s "[[Fairy's Hand Mirror]]" to change the target to "Dark Magician Girl". "Dark Magician Girl" and "Mage Power" are destroyed.

Turn 3: Mai
+
<u>'''Turn 1: Mai'''</u><br />
 
+
Mai [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Harpie Channeler]]" (1400/1300). Mai activates its effect by [[discard]]ing "[[Harpie's Pet Baby Dragon]]" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Harpie's Pet Dragon]]" (2000/2500) in [[Defense Mode|Defense Position]]. "Harpie's Pet Dragon" gains 300 ATK for each "Harpie Lady" Mai controls; because "Harpie Channeler" is treated as "Harpie Lady" while on the field or Graveyard, "Harpie's Pet Dragon" gains 300 ATK/DEF (2000/2500 → 2300/2800). Mai [[Set]]s two [[Spell]] or [[Trap]] cards.
Mai Normal Summons "[[Cyber Harpie Lady]]" (1800/1300), whose is treated as "Harpie Lady", so "Harpie's Pet Dragon" gains 300 ATK/DEF ("Harpie's Pet Dragon": 2000/2500 → 2300/2800). Mai activates "[[Card of Sanctity]]", allowing both players draw cards until they have 6 cards in their hands. Mai equips "Cyber Harpie Lady" with "[[Cyber Shield]]", increasing its ATK by 500 (2300/1300). Mai switches "Harpie's Pet Dragon" to Attack Position and attacks "Dark Magician" with "Harpie's Pet Dragon", but Yugi activates "[[Magical Hats]]", hiding Dark Magician inside one of the four hats. A [[replay]] occurs and Mai attacks the leftmost hat on her side, which turns out to be empty. Mai then attacks the middle remaining hat with "Cyber Harpie Lady", but it is empty too. Mai Sets a card.
 
  
Turn 4: Yugi
+
<u>'''Turn 2: Yami Yugi'''</u><br />
 +
Yugi activates "[[Dark Magic Curtain]]", paying half his Life Points (Yugi 4000 → 2000) to Special Summon "[[Dark Magician Girl]]" (2000/1700) from his Deck in [[Attack Mode|Attack Position]]. Yugi activates "[[Sage's Stone]]"; as he controls a "Dark Magician Girl," he Special Summons "[[Dark Magician]]" from his hand in Attack Position (2500/2100). Yugi equips "Dark Magician" with "[[Magic Formula]]", increasing its ATK by 700 (2500/2100 → 3200/2100), and  "Dark Magician Girl" with "[[Mage Power]]", increasing its ATK/DEF by 500 for each Spell/Trap card Yugi controls. Yugi Sets a card to ultimately change "Dark Magician Girl's" ATK/DEF (2000/1700 → 3500/3200). Yugi attacks "Harpie Channeler" with "Dark Magician", and Mai lowers "Dark Magician's" ATK with a set "[[Mirror Wall]]" (3200/2100 → 1600/2100). "Harpie Channeler" is destroyed (Mai 4000 → 3800) and "Harpie's Pet Dragon" loses 300 ATK/DEF (2300/2800 → 2000/2500). During his [[Main Phase 2]], Yugi activates "[[Thousand Knives]]" from his [[hand]] to target and destroy "Harpie's Pet Dragon", but Mai [[chain]]s "[[Fairy's Hand Mirror]]" to change the target to "Dark Magician Girl".
  
Yugi removes the two remaining hats to return Dark Magician (1600/2100) to his field in Attack Position. Yugi activates "[[Pot of Greed]]" and draws two cards, one of which is "[[Watapon]]" (200/300), who is Special Summoned to Yugi's field in Attack Position as it was added to Yugi's hand by a card effect. Yugi activates "[[Black Magic Ritual]]", Tributing "Dark Magician" and "Watapon" to [[Ritual Summon]] "[[Magician of Black Chaos]]" (2800/2600) in Attack Position. Because "Magic Formula" was sent to the Graveyard, Yugi gains 1000 Life Points (Yugi: 2000 → 3000). Yugi activates "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" to destroy "Mirror Wall". Yugi attacks and destroys "Harpie's Pet Dragon" with "Magican of Black Chaos" (Mai: 3800 → 3300). Yugi Sets a card.
+
<u>'''Turn 3: Mai'''</u><br />
 +
Mai Normal Summons "[[Cyber Harpie Lady]]" (1800/1300), giving "Harpie's Pet Dragon" 300 ATK/DEF (2000/2500 → 2300/2800). Mai activates "[[Card of Sanctity]]", allowing both players draw cards until they have 6 cards in their hands. Mai equips "Cyber Harpie Lady" with "[[Cyber Shield]]" (1800/1300 → 2300/1300). Mai switches "Harpie's Pet Dragon" to [[Attack Position|Attack Mode]] to attack "Dark Magician", but Yugi activates "[[Magical Hats]]". Mai fails to destroy "Dark Magician" with "Harpie's Pet Dragon" and "Cyber Harpie Lady", so she Sets a card.
  
Turn 5: Mai
+
<u>'''Turn 4: Yami Yugi'''</u><br />
 +
After re-summoning "Dark Magician" (still at 1600 ATK) in Attack Mode, Yugi activates "[[Pot of Greed]]", also allowing "[[Watapon]]" (200/300) to be summoned in Attack Mode by its own effect. Yugi activates "[[Black Magic Ritual]]", Tributing "Dark Magician" and "Watapon" to [[Ritual Summon]] "[[Magician of Black Chaos]]" (2800/2600) in Attack Mode. Because "Magic Formula" was sent to the Graveyard, Yugi gains 1000 Life Points (Yugi 2000 → 3000). Yugi activates "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" to destroy "Mirror Wall". Yugi attacks and destroys "Harpie's Pet Dragon" with "Magician of Black Chaos" (Mai 3800 → 3300). Yugi Sets a card.
  
Mai activates "[[Hysteric Sign]]", adding "[[Elegant Egoist]]" from her Deck to her hand. Mai activates "Elegant Egotist"; as she controls a "Harpie Lady", she Special Summons two more copies of "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800/1300) in Attack Position. Mai overlays her three "Cyber Harpie Ladies" to [[Xyz Summon]] "[[Harpie's Pet Phantasmal Dragon]] (2000/2500) in Attack Position. Because "Phantasmal Dragon" has an Xyz Material attached, it can attack Yugi directly and prevent "Harpie" monsters from being targeted by attacks or effects. "Phantasmal Dragon" attacks directly, but Yugi activates "[[Mirror Force]]" in an attempt to destroy "Phantasmal Dragon", but Mai chains "[[Trap Jammer]]", negating Mirror Force and destroying it. The attack goes through (Yugi 3000 → 1000). During her End Phase, Mai detaches an Xyz Material from "Phantasmal Dragon".

Turn 8: Yugi
+

Yugi activates "[[Premature Burial]]" (Yugi 900 → 100) to Special Summon "Kuriboh" (300/200). Yugi activates "[[Multiply]]", [[Special Summon]]ing a large number of [[Kuriboh Token]]s (300/200). Yugi Tributes "Queen's Knight","King's Knight" and "Jack's Knight" to Normal Summon "[[Obelisk the Tormentor]]" (4000/4000). Yugi activates its effect, Tributing two Kuriboh Tokens to destroy all monsters Mai controls and to make the ATK of "Obelisk" infinite until the [[End Phase]] (4000 → ∞). "Obelisk" attacks Mai directly (Mai: 3300 → 0).
Yugi Sets a card and activates "Card of Sanctity", once again allowing players draw until they have 6 cards in their hand. Yugi activates "[[Graceful Charity]]", drawing three cards and discarding two cards ("[[Feral Imp]]" and "[[Queen's Knight]]"). Yugi activates "[[Monster Reborn]]", Special Summoning "Queen's Knight" (1500/1600) from his Graveyard in Attack Position. Yugi Normal Summons "[[King's Knight]]" (1600/1400). Because Yugi controlled "Queen's Knight" when he Normal Summoned "King's Knight", he can Special Summon "[[Jack's Knight]]" (1900/1000) from his Deck in Attack Position.
 
 
 
Turn 9: Mai
 
 
 
Mai activates "[[Harpies' Hunting Ground]]", which increases the ATK/DEF of all [[Winged Beast]]-[[Type]] monsters she controls by 200 ("Harpie Queen": 2900/1200 → 3100/1400). Mai Normal Summons another "Harpie Channeler" (1400/1300 → 1600/1500). As Mai Normal Summoned a "Harpie Lady", the effect of "Harpies' Hunting Ground" activates; she must destroy a Spell/Trap card on the field; she destroys her "Hysteric Sign". Mai activates "Monster Reborn", Special Summoning "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800/1300 → 2000/1500) from her Graveyard in Attack Position. Because Mai Special Summoned a "Harpie Lady", "Harpies' Hunting Ground" allows her to destroy another Spell/Trap on the field; she targets Yugi's Set card, but Yugi chains his Set "[[Zero Gravity]]", switching the battle positions of all monsters on the field. As all the monsters on the field are currently in Attack Position, they are switched to Defense Position. Because they were not Summoned that turn and their battle positions were changed by a card effect, Mai switches "Harpie Queen" and "Phantasmal Dragon" back to Attack Position. "Phantasmal Dragon" attacks directly, but Yugi discards "[[Kuriboh]]" from his hand to the Graveyard to reduce the battle damage from the direct attack to 0. Mai attacks and destroys "Jack's Knight" with "Harpie Queen". Mai Sets a card. During her End Phase, because "Hysteric Sign" was destroyed, Mai can add three different "Harpie"" cards from her Deck to her hand; she adds "Harpie Channeler", "Harpie Queen" and "Harpie's Pet Baby Dragon". She detaches the last Xyz Material from "Phantasmal Dragon".
 
 
 
Turn 10:
 
 
 
Yugi activates "[[The Shallow Grave]]", allowing both players to Special Summon a monster from their Graveyards in Defense Position. He [[Special Summon]]s "Jack's Knight" (1900/1000), while Mai Special Summons "Harpie's Pet Dragon" (2000/2500 → 2600/3100). Yugi activates "[[Premature Burial]]", paying 800 Life Points (Yugi 900 → 100) to Special Summon "Kuriboh" (300/200) from his Graveyard in Attack Position. Yugi activates "[[Multiply]]", [[Special Summon]]ing a large number of [[Kuriboh Token]]s (300/200 each). Yugi Tributes "Queen's Knight","King's Knight" and "Jack's Knight" to Normal Summon "[[Obelisk the Tormentor]]" (4000/4000) in Attack Position. Yugi activates its effect, Tributing two Kuriboh Tokens to destroy all monsters Mai controls and to make the ATK of "Obelisk" infinite until the [[End Phase]] (4000 → ∞). "Obelisk" attacks Mai directly (Mai: 3300 → 0).

Revision as of 23:32, 17 November 2013

World Championship 2013 Special: Mai vs. Yugi was a scripted Duel that took place during the 2011 North American World Championship Qualifier on August 11, 2013. Erica Schroeder and Dan Green reprised their roles as Mai Valentine and Yami Yugi, respectively. Several of the characters used cards never before seen in the series. Unlike previous scripted duels, there is an official video of the entire event as opposed to a simple video display of the playing field, and each character's name and Life Point count are displayed above their respective duel fields. Also, multiple copies of cards were used to simulate anime effects, such as "Magical Hats" and "Multiply".

Synopsis

Mai greets Yugi Muto, expressing their appreciation of the Las Vegas environment and the skills of the duelists. Mai reveals she included additions into her deck, and proceeds to challenge Yugi. Yugi allows Yami Yugi to take control with the related sound clip from the Second series anime dub.

Mai claims the first turn, shocking Yugi by summoning the Level 7 "Harpie's Pet Dragon". Yugi counters with his iconic Dark Magician (series), using Equip Cards. However, with her set Traps, Mai manages to protect her Dragon and destroy "Dark Magician Girl". On his next turn, dispelling Mai's scoff of his weaker monsters, Yugi summons the Ritual Monster "Magician of Black Chaos", thanking the powers of his individual monsters needed to bring out a stronger monster. Mai counters by Xyz Summoning "Harpie's Pet Phantasmal Dragon", a Direct Attacking monster that cannot be attacked itself. Yugi attempts to stall with Spells and Traps, but Mai destroys them with "Harpie's Feather Duster" and "Harpies' Hunting Ground". However, Yugi ultimately claims victory, being able to summon an Egyptian God supported by a heavy amount of Special Summoned monsters, including an entire deck of "Kuriboh" thrown onto the field.

Although she lost, Mai finds relief in the fact that Yugi had to resort to using an Egyptian God Card to win the duel. Mai, regretting not including "Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation" in her Deck, thanks Yugi for the duel, who complements her in return. Mai expresses her intent to expand her deck, while Yugi goes to watch the runner-up duel in the Dragon World Championship between Niels Kühnberger of Germany and Marco Ruiz Campos of Costa Rica.

Featured Duel: Yami Yugi vs. Mai Valentine

Turn 1: Mai
Mai Normal Summons "Harpie Channeler" (1400/1300). Mai activates its effect by discarding "Harpie's Pet Baby Dragon" to Special Summon "Harpie's Pet Dragon" (2000/2500) in Defense Position. "Harpie's Pet Dragon" gains 300 ATK for each "Harpie Lady" Mai controls; because "Harpie Channeler" is treated as "Harpie Lady" while on the field or Graveyard, "Harpie's Pet Dragon" gains 300 ATK/DEF (2000/2500 → 2300/2800). Mai Sets two Spell or Trap cards.

Turn 2: Yami Yugi
Yugi activates "Dark Magic Curtain", paying half his Life Points (Yugi 4000 → 2000) to Special Summon "Dark Magician Girl" (2000/1700) from his Deck in Attack Position. Yugi activates "Sage's Stone"; as he controls a "Dark Magician Girl," he Special Summons "Dark Magician" from his hand in Attack Position (2500/2100). Yugi equips "Dark Magician" with "Magic Formula", increasing its ATK by 700 (2500/2100 → 3200/2100), and "Dark Magician Girl" with "Mage Power", increasing its ATK/DEF by 500 for each Spell/Trap card Yugi controls. Yugi Sets a card to ultimately change "Dark Magician Girl's" ATK/DEF (2000/1700 → 3500/3200). Yugi attacks "Harpie Channeler" with "Dark Magician", and Mai lowers "Dark Magician's" ATK with a set "Mirror Wall" (3200/2100 → 1600/2100). "Harpie Channeler" is destroyed (Mai 4000 → 3800) and "Harpie's Pet Dragon" loses 300 ATK/DEF (2300/2800 → 2000/2500). During his Main Phase 2, Yugi activates "Thousand Knives" from his hand to target and destroy "Harpie's Pet Dragon", but Mai chains "Fairy's Hand Mirror" to change the target to "Dark Magician Girl".

Turn 3: Mai
Mai Normal Summons "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800/1300), giving "Harpie's Pet Dragon" 300 ATK/DEF (2000/2500 → 2300/2800). Mai activates "Card of Sanctity", allowing both players draw cards until they have 6 cards in their hands. Mai equips "Cyber Harpie Lady" with "Cyber Shield" (1800/1300 → 2300/1300). Mai switches "Harpie's Pet Dragon" to Attack Mode to attack "Dark Magician", but Yugi activates "Magical Hats". Mai fails to destroy "Dark Magician" with "Harpie's Pet Dragon" and "Cyber Harpie Lady", so she Sets a card.

Turn 4: Yami Yugi
After re-summoning "Dark Magician" (still at 1600 ATK) in Attack Mode, Yugi activates "Pot of Greed", also allowing "Watapon" (200/300) to be summoned in Attack Mode by its own effect. Yugi activates "Black Magic Ritual", Tributing "Dark Magician" and "Watapon" to Ritual Summon "Magician of Black Chaos" (2800/2600) in Attack Mode. Because "Magic Formula" was sent to the Graveyard, Yugi gains 1000 Life Points (Yugi 2000 → 3000). Yugi activates "Mystical Space Typhoon" to destroy "Mirror Wall". Yugi attacks and destroys "Harpie's Pet Dragon" with "Magician of Black Chaos" (Mai 3800 → 3300). Yugi Sets a card.

Turn 5: Mai
Mai activates "Hysteric Sign", adding "Elegant Egoist" from her Deck to her hand and subsequently activating it, Summoning two more copies of "Cyber Harpie Lady". Mai overlays her three "Cyber Harpie Ladies" to Xyz Summon "Harpie's Pet Phantasmal Dragon" (2000/2500). "Phantasmal Dragon" attacks directly, but Yugi activates "Mirror Force" in an attempt to destroy "Phantasmal Dragon", but Mai chains "Trap Jammer", negating Mirror Force (Yugi 3000 → 1000). During her End Phase, Mai detaches an Xyz Material from "Phantasmal Dragon".

Turn 6: Yami Yugi
Yugi activates "Swords of Revealing Light" and Sets two cards.

Turn 7: Mai
Mai activates "Pot of Greed" and draws two cards. Mai Normal Summons "Harpie Queen" (1900/1200). Mai activates "Harpie's Feather Duster" to destroy all of Yugi's Spell and Trap cards, but Yugi chains "Emergency Provisions", sending "Swords of Revealing Light" and his Set "Spellbinding Circle" to the Graveyard to gain 1000 Life Points for each card sent (Yugi 1000 → 3000). Mai equips "Harpie Queen" with a second "Cyber Shield", increasing its ATK by 500 (1900/1200 → 2400/1200). Mai activates "Spell Reproduction", discarding two Spell cards to return the "Cyber Shield" from her Graveyard to her hand and equips it to "Harpie Queen" (2400/1200 → 2900/1200). "Harpie Queen" attacks and destroys "Magician of Black Chaos" (Yugi 3000 → 2900). "Phantasmal Dragon" attacks Yugi directly (Yugi 2900 → 900). During her End Phase, Mai detaches an Xyz Material from "Phantasmal Dragon".

Turn 8: Yami Yugi
Yugi Sets a card and activates "Card of Sanctity". Yugi activates "Graceful Charity", drawing three cards and discards "Feral Imp" and "Queen's Knight". Yugi activates "Monster Reborn", Special Summoning "Queen's Knight" (1500/1600) from his Graveyard in Attack Mode. Yugi Normal Summons "King's Knight" (1600/1400), whose effect Summons "Jack's Knight" (1900/1000) from his Deck in Attack Mode.

Turn 9: Mai
Mai activates "Harpies' Hunting Ground", which gives a Field Spell Card increase to "Harpie Queen" (2900/1200 → 3100/1400). Mai Normal Summons a second "Harpie Channeler" (1400/1300 → 1600/1500) and "Harpies' Hunting Ground" destroys her "Hysteric Sign". Mai activates "Monster Reborn", Special Summoning "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800/1300 → 2000/1500) from her Graveyard in Attack Position. "Harpies' Hunting Ground" targets Yugi's Set card, but chains it: "Zero Gravity". All monsters on the field are switched to Defense Mode. Mai switches "Harpie Queen" and "Phantasmal Dragon" back to Attack Mode. "Phantasmal Dragon" attacks directly, but Yugi discards "Kuriboh" from his hand to the Graveyard to reduce the damage to 0. Mai attacks and destroys "Jack's Knight" with "Harpie Queen". Mai Sets a card. During her End Phase, because "Hysteric Sign" was destroyed, Mai adds "Harpie Channeler", "Harpie Queen" and "Harpie's Pet Baby Dragon" from her Deck to her hand. She detaches the last Xyz Material from "Phantasmal Dragon".

Turn 10: Yami Yugi
Yugi activates "The Shallow Grave" to Special Summon "Jack's Knight" (1900/1000) while Mai Special Summons "Harpie's Pet Dragon" (2000/2500 → 2600/3100). Yugi activates "Premature Burial" (Yugi 900 → 100) to Special Summon "Kuriboh" (300/200). Yugi activates "Multiply", Special Summoning a large number of Kuriboh Tokens (300/200). Yugi Tributes "Queen's Knight","King's Knight" and "Jack's Knight" to Normal Summon "Obelisk the Tormentor" (4000/4000). Yugi activates its effect, Tributing two Kuriboh Tokens to destroy all monsters Mai controls and to make the ATK of "Obelisk" infinite until the End Phase (4000 → ∞). "Obelisk" attacks Mai directly (Mai: 3300 → 0).
