==Marik's TurnMajor events==*Summons First Duel of the [[Gil GarthBattle City]] (1800/1200) in attack positionSemi-Finals.*Sets This is a card[[Shadow Game]] with upped stakes. [[Yami Marik|Marik]] makes it so that "dark energy strings" connect Marik and [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] to each monster they summon. As a monster is destroyed or weakened, a corresponding amount of "damage" is dealt to the monster's owner. As it turns out, Joey is the only one whose physical energy is visibly affected, albeit not as badly as Marik had expected.
