Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
A glint of shrewdness flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged, sinister man, X!
This is currently his only option to win: continue to focus all his efforts on reducing Jiang He's card count!
After all, trying to defeat Jiang He by attacking his remaining [2000LP] health points was impossible for him with the [Scrap-Iron Scarecrow] trap in place!

"That professional duelist hunter, X, seems to be somewhat suppressed by Jiang He!"
Seeing that the middle-aged, sinister-looking man X, had only summoned one monster before being forced to end his turn.
Syrus Truesdale, who was watching the battle from a distance, clenched his fist excitedly and said...
"The current situation is indeed favorable to Jiang He, but that monster that's been placed there might have some special characteristics," said the squinty-eyed Professor Banner, holding his fat cat, Pharaoh, offering a word of caution.
The others nodded in agreement, continuing to watch the duel on the arena intently! "My turn, draw a card! Then, end of turn!"
Jiang He smiled faintly as he drew a card from his Duel Disk deck, bringing his hand to three. Without even glancing at the card he'd drawn, he ended his turn!
"They haven't done anything at all!" X gritted his teeth, his face darkening slightly.
Jiang He's 830's blatant surrender and surrender strategy is a disaster for someone like him who needs his opponent to summon monsters to reduce his card count!
Most importantly, there's also the countdown of that deadly Spell Card, [Final Countdown].
Fortunately, he can make some changes this round! So, it's my turn, draw a card!
The middle-aged, sinister-looking man X, draws cards from his own Duel Disk deck.
Beneath the dense, dark purple clouds above, a sixth orange will-o'-the-wisp instantly appeared, and his life points increased by another 1000 from [4000LP] to [5000LP]. At the same time, X's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he raised his hand, signaling, "This is the moment I've been waiting for!" "Flip Summon my [Level Jar], the monster I set last turn!" Whoosh!
As soon as X finished speaking, the face-down (BAFC) card lying face down on the table in front of him flipped over!
A faint light emanated from it, and the figure of a brownish-red rock turtle-like monster appeared!
[Level Jar]
[Star Rating: 3]
[Attribute: Earth]
[Attack Power: 500]
[Defense Strength: 1800]
"It's a monster from the Pot series!" Bastion Misawa exclaimed in surprise upon seeing it, recognizing it immediately.
Whether it's the Morphing Jar or other pot-themed monsters, almost all of them have a nasty effect that can achieve the goal of reducing card value!
"However, if it's a Flip Summon, given the opponent's own Continuous Trap [Monster Counter] blocking their field, they need to send three cards from their own deck to the graveyard first!" Alexis Rhodes said immediately.
"Hmph, so what! The special effect of Monster [Level Jar] is that when it flips over, all monsters on both players' fields return to their owners' decks, and then both players draw cards equal to the Level of the monster that left the field from their decks!"
Hearing the surprised commotion from Bastion Misawa and the others nearby, the middle-aged, sinister-looking man X, chuckled smugly and said to Jiang He, "If the monster that left the field is among the cards drawn by this effect, then you can keep the drawn cards; otherwise, you must discard them all to the Graveyard!"
"And this [Trap Jammer] on your field was taken from me, young man. With the flip effect of [Level Jar], it will only return to my original owner's deck..." The middle-aged, sinister man X, smiled smugly as he looked at Jiang He, his small glasses slightly reflecting the light.
"In other words, because of this effect, after you draw four cards of the same level as [Trap Jammer] from your deck, you will definitely have to discard them all to the graveyard!" The situation seems to be getting a little bad again...!
Upon hearing this, Chazz Princeton's expression turned somewhat serious as he spoke.
At this point, Jiang He's deck had 27 cards. If four cards were cut, it would still be within an acceptable range.
After all, the opponent had already discarded three cards in order to summon this [Level Jar] and activate its effect.
At this point, there were only 18 cards left, far fewer than Jiang He.
However, this means that the key monster [Trap Jammer] that Jiang He stole from the field will return to the opponent's deck!
It was taken back.
Then, Jiang He will once again have to face the one-sided card-cutting blockade by the professional dueling hunter X!
If this is combined with a continuous trap or similar lockdown that limits monster summoning each turn.
The opponent's card-cutting speed will increase very quickly!
"As expected of the world's third-ranked professional duelist hunter, he is indeed quite resilient..." Jiang He calmly praised.
Then, very quickly, his tone changed!
"Unfortunately, your card-reduction plan only works if the [Level Jar] effect is successfully activated!"
Jiang He immediately raised his hand and gestured to the other Ambush card on the field in front of him, besides the Trap [Scrap-Iron Scarecrow]! "Activate the Ambush card, Trap [Torrential Tribute]!"
A trap with a blue torrent pattern suddenly appeared on the field in front of him!
"This effect can only be activated when a monster is successfully Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summon. Destroy all monsters on the field!" "What?!"
The middle-aged, sinister-looking man X, was immediately startled!
Completely unexpectedly, Jiang He had no other defensive traps besides the [Scrap-Iron Scarecrow].
There's even a huge pit like [Torrential Tribute] waiting for him!
This was a case of trying to take it by force and failing. Seeing that the original owner was about to reclaim the monster, they simply destroyed everything, so no one could use it! [Ding, X's Emotion Points +600!]

"Torrential Tribute!"
As Jiang He waved his hand, a torrent of blue energy surged forth from the [Torrential Tribute] trap that had been opened on the field in front of him! Like a flood, it directly swept away the [Trap Jammer] on his own field and the brown [Level Jar] monster on the field of the middle-aged, sinister-looking man, X, which was about to activate its flip effect. With two loud "bangs," they were all shattered into orange-yellow particle fragments, completely destroyed and vanished! "A brilliant response!"
Seeing this from a distance, Kaiser Zane Truesdale up and he spoke.
"Once all the monsters on the field are destroyed, the effect of [Level Jar], which has lost its target, will also be ineffective!" "That's right! This not only prevents the opponent from flipping and summoning [Level Jar] to reduce their cards, but also forces them to pay the price of sending three cards from their deck to the graveyard for nothing because of the effect of their own Continuous Trap [Monster Counter]!" Bastion Misawa immediately echoed this analysis with the same praise. "Damn it...!"
The middle-aged, sinister-looking man, X, looked even darker.
After glancing at his remaining two cards and the eighteen cards in his deck, he had no choice but to end his turn! "My turn is over!"
"Now it's my turn, draw a card!"
Compared to the grim expression on X's face in the distance, Jiang He calmly drew a card from his Duel Disk deck. He then smiled and announced to his opponent, "After my turn, [Final Countdown] has reached its seventh count!" "Whoosh!!"
Almost simultaneously, a seventh orange will-o'-the-wisp appeared in the dark purple, cloud-covered sky above! "Even without your reminder, I know! Because the remaining thirteen rounds are more than enough for me to defeat you!" The middle-aged, sinister man X, said with a forced composure, his mindset shifting slightly.
Then he immediately raised his hand, gesturing towards one of the two hidden cards on the field in front of him! "Activate the hidden card at this moment! Continuous Trap [Victory Dispute]!"
A trap depicting two mechanical iron men fighting each other was suddenly lifted!
"Hmph, this card's effect is such that as long as it's on the field, during each player's turn, if they have a Level 4 or lower monster in their hand that can be Special Summoned, they must choose one of those monsters and Special Summon to their field in Attack Position!" X said, a crooked smile creeping onto his lips once again.
Although he no longer has [Trap Jammer] on the field, which would prevent him from being affected by the trap's blocking effect.
However, as long as he doesn't have any monsters in his hand, he won't be affected by this trap's effect. And that guy on the other Jiang He, if he summons a monster because of this Continuous Trap [Victory Dispute], he'll immediately have that card removed from his deck! Hmph!
"It's a trap that forces the summoning of monsters...?! Together with that other Continuous Trap [Monster Counter], it forms a new card-cutting combo!" Alexis Rhodes's expression changed upon seeing this, and she exclaimed in surprise.
Even Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and Tyranno Hassleberry's expressions changed!
In this way, if Jiang He has a Level 4 or lower monster in his hand that meets the conditions, then he will need to have cards in his deck reduced every turn!
This made Alexis Rhodes and the others look with a hint of solemnity towards the dueling arena in the distance, in the direction of Jiang He!
As soon as the results were seen, Jiang He revealed a "heavy" expression, as if he had been outmaneuvered! (Request for flowers)
He said regretfully, "I do have a Level 4 or lower monster in my hand that meets the requirements! It seems I have to summon it!" "I Special Summon this little guy in Attack Position, [Sphere Kuriboh]!" Jiang He immediately slammed the card he had just drawn onto his Duel Disk! "Kuriboh!"
As a faint light appeared, the familiar figure of a brownish-red ball-shaped monster suddenly materialized.
It appeared in the arena in front of Jiang He with a shout!
0
[Sphere Kuriboh]
[Star Rating: 1]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Attack Power: 300]
[Defense: 200]
"..." Alexis Rhodes, Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and the others stared at this scene with utter exasperation!
Even X, who had been wearing a smug smile, immediately froze!
His eye twitched!
It's just a level 1 monster...?!
"Then why are you breathing so heavily?!" Whoosh!
Almost simultaneously, the Continuous Trap [Monster Counter] transformed into a brownish-red monster box machine, which immediately opened its mouth automatically and sprang out a long, tongue-like rope that swallowed a card from Jiang He's Duel Disk deck, turning it into particles that disappeared into the graveyard on his Duel Disk!
This brings the total number of cards in the Jiang He deck to 25!
However, upon seeing the card that had finally been successfully reduced, the expression on the face of the middle-aged, sinister man, X, turned even greener!
He always felt that his intelligence and personality as a top professional duelist had been insulted!
This mere card is worse than not even being nerfed!

"Tsk, they actually managed to remove one card from my deck. No wonder they're the world's third-ranked professional Duelist Hunter!"
Jiang He clicked his tongue in admiration as he looked at the sleazy, bespectacled man with a middle parting and a sinister appearance in the distance opposite them.
He even gave the other person a thumbs up, cheering them on in the opposite direction!
"I only have 25 cards left in my deck, I just finished!"
"..." Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, Syrus Truesdale, and the others couldn't help but be speechless.
Even Alexis Rhodes and Rei Saotome were both facepalming in unison!
As expected, even in the world of professional duelists, the infamous top-tier underworld duelist hunter is still a bit lacking compared to someone when it comes to manipulating people's mentality...!
"..." "830," and X's face darkened even more!
He felt provoked and insulted!
[Ding, X's Emotion Points +700!]
"However, now that this little guy has been forced to be summoned, ending the turn directly doesn't seem quite right."
After messing with the mentality of the opposing professional duelist hunter, X, Jiang He smiled and said with satisfaction.
He then waved to the other person.
"[Sphere Kuriboh] Launch a direct attack! Slide tackle flying kick!"
"Keri keri!"
The Sphere Kuriboh let out a cry and flew upwards. Then, with its short legs, it slid in and kicked the middle-aged, sinister-looking man X, in the distance!
