It’s Just a Card Game, So a Few Hand Traps and Kaijus Are Fair, Right?

After transmigrating to the eve of Duelist Kingdom in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, You Xi finds himself a penniless working stiff who can't afford a God Card and barely owns any rare cards. In an era where wild bluffs fly fast and God Cards crush everything, what can you do if you can't afford booster packs? No problem! His past life's soul as a top-tier OCG deck builder has awakened!

"Dueling is about bringing smiles to everyone!" Wearing a warm, sunny smile, You Xi slaps down a Lava Golem to devour Seto Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragon, then sets five Trap Cards. Facing the Pharaoh's three Egyptian God Cards, he calmly activates Ring of Destruction and Poison of the Old Man. Watching the original story's prodigies get burned until they question their sanity and suffer deck destruction until their dueling spirits crumble, the entire crowd falls silent.

When the Duelist Kingdom finals arrive and Marik laughs arrogantly with the Winged Dragon of Ra in hand, You Xi quietly pulls out his carefully built Runick banish deck. What kind of hellish shock will this sunny boy, so full of smiles, bring to all of Domino City?
