Featured Duel: Seto Kaiba VS Dark Yugi

Turn 18: Seto Kaiba
Kaiba Special Summons 2 of his "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" (3000/2500) (3000/2500) through the effect of "The Flute of Summoning Dragon", and Yugi Summons "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" (2400/2000), while the former controls another "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" (3000/2500), and "Lord of D." (1200/1100) in Attack and Defense Position, respectively, whereas the latter controls "Dark Magician" (2500/2100) in Attack Position and "Beta the Magnet Warrior" in Defense Position (1700/1600). Kaiba attacks Yugi's "Dark Magican" with his first "Blue-Eyes", but Yugi activates his Spell Card "Magic Cylinder", to change the attack target to Kaiba's "Lord of D.". "Lord of D." is destroyed and "Dark Magician" is unscathed. Kaiba's second "Blue-Eyes" attacks Yugi's "Red-Eyes Black Dragon"; however, Yugi activates his Set "Spellbinding Circle", to decrease its ATK by 700 (Blue-Eyes: 3000→2300). Kaiba's "Blue-Eyes" is destroyed by Yugi's "Red-Eyes" (Kaiba: 2000→1900) Kaiba's third "Blue-Eyes" attacks and destroys Yugi's "Beta".
