"'''"Nature of the Draw"'''", known as "''''"Draw! Draw! Draw!"''' " in the Japanese version, is the seventeenth episode of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime. It first aired in Japan on January 26, 2005 and in the United States on November 16, 2005.

[[Jaden Yuki]] and [[Syrus Truesdale]] rush to [[Ms. Dorothy]]'s card shop, with Jaden eager to acquire a [[Golden Eggwich]]. Dorothy makes sandwiches for the students each day, and one of them contains an egg sandwich made with a golden egg from one of [[Duel Academy]]'s hens. Since it only lays one egg a day, only one such sandwich is made. The students use the sandwiches to practice their [[Draw a card|card drawing]], with each hoping to unwrap the sandwich to find the one made with the golden egg. Jaden "draws" one of the sandwiches, unwraps it, and bites into it, but he's not found the Golden Eggwich. Syrus states it's been weeks since Jaden has gotten it, but prior to that, he nearly always managed to obtain it. [[AlexisRhodes]] arrives, holding 2 sandwiches causing Jaden to assume she took the Golden Eggwich so they could have lunch together. This causes her to blush, replying she was practicing her draws. Ms. Dorothy arrives and confirms Alexis' claim and explains that not only has Jaden not been getting the Golden Eggwich, ''no one'' has, which means that the sandwich is being stolen. If this is true, then the thief must have very high luck in drawing. Jaden vows to catch the thief.

Jaden plans to stake-out the card shop to catch the thief that night. Syrus and [[Chumley Huffington]] accompany him. Alexis is also present, and Jaden questions why. She thinks to herself that the thief could be related to the disappearance of the students at the [[Abandoned Dorm]], including [[Atticus Rhodes|her brother]]. Later, the thief finally shows himself, and carefully selects one sandwich from the cart. The lights are flipped on, and he's revealed as a shirtless, muscular young man, who gives a yell like [[Wikipedia:Tarzan|Tarzan]] before escaping. They give chase, and track him to the middle of the forest, where he attempts to scale a waterfall. Ms. Dorothy recognizes him as [[Damon]], and calls his name. He falls from the waterfall, landing in the water below. Ms. Dorothy explains he that Damon used to an [[Obelisk Blue]] student, and would always be frustrated that he couldn't draw the right sandwich. Damon explains that he used to always get the top score on written exams, but was not skilled in actual Dueling, due to his bad drawing luck. A flashback is shown, with his opponent having "[[Jinzo (later anime)|Jinzo]]" on the field, and Damon with "[[Doron (anime)|Doron]]". He draws "[[Fake Trap (anime)|Fake Trap]]", which would is useless to him due to the [[Trap Cards|Trap]]-[[Negate|negation]] effect of "Jinzo". He confined himself to the mountains, and honed his drawing skills through nature. He would let his cards flow down the waterfall, and through practice, always be able to pick out the most powerful ones. As a final test, he began trying to get the Golden Eggwich, and was able to draw it every day.

Interested in Damon's method, Jaden challenges him, and gets him to promise to stop stealing the Eggwichs should he lose. Jaden Summons "[[Elemental HERO Hero Avian(anime)|Elemental Hero HERO Avian]]" in [[Attack Position]] and [[Set]]s a card. Damon Sets a card and Summons "[[Drawler]]", whose attack [[ATK]] and defense [[DEF]] becomes equal to the number of cards Damon sends from his [[hand]] back to his [[Main Deck|Deck]]. He sends four, making it's attack its ATK and defense DEF 2000. He attacks, destroying "Avian", who is sent to the bottom of Jaden's Deck rather than the [[Graveyard]] via "Drawler's" effect, as "Avian" was in Attack Position. Jaden plays "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]", [[Fusion Material|fusing ]] "[[Elemental HERO BurstinatrixHero Clayman (anime)|Elemental Hero BurstinatrixHERO Clayman]]" and "[[Elemental HERO ClaymanHero Burstinatrix (anime)|Elemental Hero ClaymanHERO Burstinatrix]]" to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Elemental HERO Hero Rampart Blaster(anime)|Elemental Hero HERO Rampart Blaster]]", who uses her its effect to halve her attack points its ATK and [[Direct attack|attack directly]]. Damon activates his face-down "[[Miracle Draw]]", which lets him guess what he will draw before he does so. If he is correct, Jaden will take 1000 damage, but if he's wrong, he will take the damage. He calls "[[Card Loan]]" and draws. He is correct, so Jaden takes 1000 damage. He activates "Card Loan", which lets him draw a card by [[pay]]ing 1000 Life Points [[LP]] and having Jaden gain 1000. He draws, and then plays the card he drew - "[[Drawber]]". Jaden will draw a card, and Damon will guess what it is. If he's right, every card in Jaden's hand and on his [[Playing Field|Fieldfield]] will return to his Deck. He guesses "[[De-Fusion (anime)|De-Fusion]]" and is correct, so Jaden's hand and Set card is are returned to his Deck, while "Rampart Blaster" returns to the [[Extra Deck|Fusion Deck]]. Damon attacks directly with "Drawler", reducing Jaden to 1000 Life PointsLP.

Jaden Summons "[[Wroughtweiler (anime)|Wroughtweiler]]" in [[Defense Position]] and ends his turn. Damon uses the effect of "[[Miracle Draw]]", and believes he'll draw "[[Shield Crush (anime)|Shield Crush]]", which would win him the Duel. However, he is incorrect, and draws "Doron", so he loses 1000 Life PointsLP. However, he still has an advantage. He destroys "Wroughtweiler" with "Drawler", which lets Jaden add "Burstinatrix" and "Polymerization" from his Graveyard to his hand. He then attacks directly with "Doron" to end his turn, reducing Jaden to 100 Life PointsLP. Jaden tells Damon to try to enjoy the Duel instead of obsessing over drawing so much and insists that no matter what, you won't always draw what you need. Jaden draws and reveals that his draw is "Avian", who had been returned to the Deck and shuffled in by "Drawler". He plays "Polymerization", fusing him with "Avian" and "Burstinatrix" to Fusion Summon "[[Elemental HERO Hero Flame Wingman(anime)|Elemental Hero HERO Flame Wingman]]", who attacks and destroys "Drawler". Its effect then activates, dealing damage to Damon equal to his destroyed monster's attack pointsATK, winning Jaden the Duel. Jaden and Ms. Dorothy convince Damon to return to Duel Academy as a student, and to draw sandwiches. The next day, he and Jaden dodraw sandwiches, but neither are able to draw the Golden Eggwich, as Alexis beats had beaten them there and draws drawn it first.

Duel already in progress. [[Damon]] [[control]]s "[[Doron (anime)|Doron]]" in [[Attack Position]] , while his opponent controls "[[Jinzo (later anime)|Jinzo]]" in Attack Position.

Damon [[draw a card|draws]] "[[Fake Trap (anime)|Fake Trap]]".

[[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]] [[draw a card|draws]] "[[Elemental HERO Hero Avian(anime)|Elemental Hero HERO Avian]]" and subsequently [[Normal Summon]]s it (1000/1000) in [[Attack Position]]. He then [[Set]]s a card.

[[Damon ]] draws. He then Sets a card and Normal Summons "[[Drawler]]" (?/?) in Attack Position. Since "Drawler" was Normal Summoned, Damon , through the effect of "Drawler", [[shuffle]]s all the cards in his [[hand]] into his [[Main Deck|Deck]] to increase the [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] of "Drawler" by 500 for each card returned. Four cards are returned ("Dralwer": ? → 2000/? → 2000). "Drawler" [[attack]]s and [[destroy]]s "Avian" (Jaden : 4000 → 3000LP). Since "Drawler" destroyed an Attack Position monster [[Destroyed by battle|by battle]], its second [[effect activates]] [[activate]]s, sending [[send]]ing the destroyed monster to the bottom of Jaden's [[Main Deck|Deck]] instead of the [[Graveyard]].

Jaden draws "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]" and subsequently activates it to [[Fusion Material|fuse ]] "[[Elemental HERO BurstinatrixHero Clayman (anime)|Elemental Hero BurstinatrixHERO Clayman]]" with and "[[Elemental HERO ClaymanHero Burstinatrix (anime)|Elemental Hero ClaymanHERO Burstinatrix]]" in order to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Elemental HERO Hero Rampart Blaster(anime)|Elemental Hero HERO Rampart Blaster]]" (2000/2500) in [[Defense Position]]. Since "Rampart Blaster" is in [[face-up ]] Defense Position, Jaden uses the effect of "Rampart Blaster" to let it attack [[Direct attack|directly]]. However, however its ATK is halved during [[damage calculation]] ("Rampart Blaster": 2000 → 1000/2500ATK). The attacks hits Damon (Damon : 4000 → 3000LP). After damage calculation, the ATK of "Rampart Blaster" returns to its original value ("Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster": 1000 → 2000/2500ATK).

During Jaden's [[End Phase]], Damon activates his [[face-down ]] "[[Miracle Draw]]". Now, during each of Damon's [[Draw Phase]]s, he must [[declare]] a card name before he conducts his [[normal draw]]. After he draws, he must [[reveal]] the card he drew. If Damon guessed correctly, Jaden will take 1000 [[effect damage|damage]]. If Damon guessed wrong, he will take 1000 damage.

Damon declares he will draw "[[Card Loan]]". He does so (Jaden : 3000 → 2000LP). Damon activates "Card Loan" to pay 1000 Life Points [[LP]] (Damon : 3000 → 2000LP), increase Jaden's Life LP by 1000 (Jaden : 2000 → 3000LP) , and draw a card. On Damon's End Phase, he must place the drawn card at the bottom of his Deck.

Damon activates draws "[[Drawber]]" and declares subsequently activates it to declare "[[De-Fusion (anime)|De-Fusion]]" as the next card Jaden will draw, while also forcing Jaden to draw a card. Jaden draws "De-Fusion". Since Damon was right, all cards on Jaden's side of the [[field ]] and in his hand return to his Deck. "Drawler" attacks directly (Jaden : 3000 → 1000LP). At the End Phase, Damon places the card he drew via "Card Loan" at the bottom of his Deck.

Jaden draws "[[Wroughtweiler (anime)|Wroughtweiler]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it (800/1200) in Defense Position.

Damon declares he will draw "[[Shield Crush (anime)|Shield Crush]]". He draws "[[Doron (anime)|Doron]]" (Damon : 2000 → 1000LP). Damon Normal Summons "Doron" (900/500) in Attack Position. "Drawler" attacks and destroys "Wroughtweiler". Since "Wroughtweiler" was destroyed, its effect activates, allowing Jaden to [[Add a card|add ]] "PolymerizationBurstinatrix" and "[[Elemental HERO Burstinatrix|Burstinatrix]]Polymerization" from his [[Graveyard]] to his hand. "Doron" then attacks directly (Jaden : 1000 → 100LP).

Jaden draws "Elemental Hero Avian". He then activates "Polymerization" to fuse "BurstinatrixAvian" with and "AvianBurstinatrix" in order to Fusion Summon "[[Elemental HERO Hero Flame Wingman(anime)|Elemental Hero HERO Flame Wingman]]" (2100/1200) in Attack Position. "Flame Wingman" attacks and destroys "Drawler". (Damon : 1000 → 900LP). Since "Flame Wingman" destroyed a monster [[by battle]] and sent it to the Graveyard, its effect activates, inflicting damage to Damon equal to his destroyed monster's ATK (Damon : 900 → 0LP).

* In the Japanese version, [[Alexis Rhodes|Asuka]] arrives at the shop, and when asks asked if she likes the Golden Eggwich, denies it. In the dub, Jaden asks her if she took the sandwich so they could have lunch together.
