It is not the general way of wizards to relinquish their pride, but I will accept you as my equal. But what do you seek to accomplish with your wizardry? Will you use your power for good or ill?

[roll0]

I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Breaker_The_Magical_Warrior). With his summoning, he receives a Spell Counter, which I will use to activate its ability. Breaker, destroy the second face-down card!

The magical warrior appears, his sword and shield glowing with arcane power. A bolt of magical energy from his sword vaporizes one of Doliest's backrow cards.

And now, I activate the Spell Card Spell Power Grasp (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Spell_power_grasp) to refuel Breaker's power. Then I add another Spell Power Grasp to my hand for use next turn. Breaker destroys the other face-down card, and will then attack your monster. I then Set a face-down card and end my turn.

Good and Evil are just words to personify a cold and unfeeling universe, I merely seek power...oh and you attacked my Royal Magic Library (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Royal_Magical_Library)who's 2000 defense stops your attack.

[Blue Ghost]

I am sorry you feel that way. But good is not cold and unfeeling. You have mighty power in your hands; you can make the universe a better place if you so desire.
I end my turn.

[doliest]

This universe WILL be a better place soon, all too soon.

[Blue Ghost]

The two casters clash and both fall.

I do not know what you intend, but if you mean evil, I will not allow it.

[roll0]

I summon Night's End Sorcerer (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Night%27s_End_Sorcerer). Night's End Sorcerer declares his attack, upon which I activate my Magician's Circle (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Magician%27s_Circle) Trap Card. Each of us can now summon a Spellcaster-type monster with up to 2000 ATK from the Deck. I choose my Magical Marionette (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Magical_Marionette). Since another monster was summoned, my attack is called off. I shall wait to see what you summon.

[doliest]

I don't see why I should stop a good thing; I also pull magical marionette.

OOC:I'm going to have to go to dinner soon and I'll be off for about two hours; will you still be on at that point?

[Blue Ghost]

OOC: Sorry, I won't be on then. We can continue the duel tomorrow, or whenever we have time.

I shall end my Battle Phase without attacking and move into Main Phase 2. I activate my second Spell Power Grasp to give Magical Marionette two Spell Counters, which Marionette uses to destroy your Marionette. Another Spell Power Grasp is added to my hand.
Now, I tune Night's End Sorcerer and Magical Marionette to Synchro Summon Arcanite Magician (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Arcanite_Magician). I then end my turn.

No man is greater than his teacher, Doliest.

[roll0]

I activate Arcanite Magician's effect. By removing both his Spell Counters, I destroy both your monsters.

Arcanite Magician raises his staff and releases a massive wave of arcane energy, obliterating Doliest's side of the field.

Now, I Tribute my Arcanite Magician to summon Dark Red Enchanter (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Red_Enchanter).

A Spellcaster in crimson robes appears in the place of Arcanite Magician.

With his summoning, Dark Red Enchanter automatically gains two Spell Counters. I then activate my last Spell Power Grasp to give him two more, for a total of four. He gains 300 ATK for eac Spell Counter he has, for a total of 2900 ATK. Direct attack! Meteor Swarm!

Dark Red Enchanter raises his staff and unleashes a massive blast of fire at Doliest.

I now activate Dark Red Enchanter's special ability. By removing two of his Spell Counters, he will force a random discard from your hand. Enervation!
(Roll a die of size equal to the number of cards you hold to determine the discard.)
I end my turn.

Perhaps, perhaps not. But I urge you to consider for what ends you use your power.

[roll0]

I summon Defender, the Magical Knight (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Defender,_the_Magical_Knight) to the field. Dark Red Enchanter attacks your facedown monster, and if that is successful, Defender launches a direct attack. During Main Phase 2, I remove two more Spell Counters from Enchanter to force another discard. I then end my turn.

Correction; I activate Magical Cylinder on your Dark Red Enchanter. which negates your attack and you take the damage.

[Blue Ghost]

That is fine. Defender will continue the attack anyway, and my turn proceeds as normal.

[doliest]

And rams into my Blast Magician's 1700 defense (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Blast_Magician)

[Blue Ghost]

Fine. I will end my turn without using Enchanter's effect.

[doliest]

The Magical Cylinder was lucky, let's see if my luck lasts.

I play a facedown spell/trap card.

[Blue Ghost]

Is that all you can do?

[roll0]

[Blue Ghost]

I activate my Allure of Darkness (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Allure_of_Darkness) Spell Card. I draw two cards, and my Dark Red Enchanter receives another Spell Counter.

[roll0]

I will remove my second Dark Red Enchanter for the cost of Allure of Darkness.
I summon Magical Exemplar (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Magical_Exemplar). Then, I activate the Field Spell Magical Citadel of Endymion (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Magical_Citadel_of_Endymion). With the activation of a Spell Card, Enchanter receives another Spell Counter, and Exemplar receives two.
I remove the two Spell Counters from Exemplar to Special Summon my Night’s End Sorcerer (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Night%27s_End_Sorcerer) from my Graveyard. With his effect, I remove your Royal Magical Library and Magical Marionette from your Graveyard.
Dark Red Enchanter destroys your Blast Magician, and my lesser Spellcasters will attack you directly for 4600 damage, leaving you with 500 left.
Main Phase 2! I tune Night's End Sorcerer with Magical Exemplar, to Synchro Summon Tempest Magician (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Tempest_Magician)!
Tempest Magician receives a Spell Counter upon her Synchro Summoning. Then I discard the two cards from my hand to give her two more. I then activate Tempest Magician's effect: Arcane Gale! I remove four Spell Counters from Dark Red Enchanter, one from Defender, and three from Tempest Magician to inflict 4000 damage.

The whirlwind of arcane energy knocks Doliest off his feet.

You still have a long way to go, my friend.

[doliest]

You...have defeated me and have struck me down, but hear this master, I will rise again stronger than you can possibly imagine to face you in the Silver Arena.

OOC:Good duel, any suggestions on how to improve this deck after the tournament?

[Blue Ghost]

One thing that you may need is to tighten your focus some more. Unless you have many ways to reliably search your cards, it's generally better to run multiples of a few key cards than single copies of many cards.

[doliest]

Ahh, maybe i should, but I was going for versatility
