You Dong: "My turn, draw a card!"

Looking at the card he had drawn, You Dong thought to himself, "This is the card I put in last night!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed] from my hand and draw two cards."

"I activate the Spell Card [Angel's Charity] from my hand, draw three cards, and send two cards from my hand to the Graveyard."

"Except for [Winter Synchron] in the Graveyard, Special Summon 2 [Winter Tokens] (Defense Position)."

"I'll level up [Winter Token], [Hibernating Frog], and [Hibernating Serpent]! Synchro Summon! Level 8! [Winter Dragon]!"

"[Winter Dragon]'s effect activates, increasing ATK to 3200, and draw two cards."

"I'll level up [Still Hunting Eagle] and [Winter's Token]! Synchro Summon! Level 6! [Winter Axe Yeti] (Defense Position)!"

"[Flying Axe Yeti] effect activated, add one [Snowy Flying Axe] to your hand."

"I equipped the [Snowy Axe] to the [Axe-wielding Yeti], and the [Axe-wielding Yeti]'s attack power increased to 2600."

"Send [Snowy Axe] to the graveyard, dealing 1500 damage to you!"

"I'll cover one card."

"Advance to the combat tier!"

"I turned on the card I had face down at the beginning—[Synchronize], and [Winter Dragon]'s attack power increased to 4700!"

"[Winter Dragon] Attack [Dragon Slayer]!"

Opponent: "Attack [Dragon Slayer] with a monster with lower attack power? Are you crazy?!"

You Dong smiled: "Even lower attack power?"

"What a burden! How many more are there?!"

"I activate a Quick-Play Spell Card from my hand [instantly], and activate one face-down Trap Card this turn!"

"I'm going to activate my only face-down card on the field—[Scrap Scarecrow]!"

"Neglect [Winter Dragon]'s attack, and put this card face down on the field again."

The other party asked in confusion, "What kind of inexplicable action is this?"

You Dong slammed a card onto the duel disk and shouted, "You'll understand soon enough!"

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Double Chance], and [Winter Dragon]'s ATK increases to 9400! It can also attack once more!"

"Go! [Winter Dragon], attack [Dragon Slayer]!"

Zero Degree Strike!

Because of the increased attack power, the [Winter Dragon] has grown three times larger, and one breath of dragon fire wipes out the opponent's base points!

The referee announced the result: "Number one wins!"
