KAIBA: You’re finished this time, Yugi! With my Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Pole Position on the field, your Spell Cards are useless! Even if you Summon your Dark Magician, you can’t equip it with enough Equip Spell Cards to make it strong enough to take down my Dragon, because if you do, your Spell Cards will have no effect!
YUGI: Oh no! How can I defeat his Blue-Eyes without the help of my Equip Spell Cards?
KAIBA: Now, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack his Giant Rat!
<Boom!>
KAIBA: You get to Special Summon a weak monster from your Deck now, Yugi, so go ahead, because there’s nothing in your Deck that can help you now.
YUGI: Are you sure about that? I Special Summon… Enraged Muka Muka!
KAIBA: Even with the 3 cards in your hand, your Enraged Muka Muka only has 2400 Attack Points. Not strong enough to defeat my Blue-Eyes.
YUGI: It’s my turn now, Kaiba! I draw, raising my Enraged Muka Muka to 2800 attack points. Then I place one card face-down, and then I activate this card: United We Stand! With 2 cards still left in my hand, this Equip Spell Card again raises my Enraged Muka Muka’s attack points to 2800!
KAIBA: You’re a good Duelist, Yugi. Your United We Stand even compensates for that face-down card, but that’s still not strong enough to overcome my mighty Dragon! Blue-Eyes, destroy his Enraged Muka Muka!
YUGI: Not so fast, Kaiba! At the start of your turn, I activate my face-down
card: Threatening Roar! This card prevents you from attacking. Sorry Kaiba, but your Blue-Eyes will just have to wait. And this Duel is now over.
KAIBA: What are you talking about? This is only a temporary reprieve, Yugi. I’ll still destroy you on my next turn. And your United We Stand still won’t help you. As long as Pole Position is on the field, no monster can become the strongest monster on the field because of Spell Cards.
YUGI: Guess again, Kaiba! For now… I draw!
<the ground begins to shake>
KAIBA: What… what’s happening?
YUGI: As I draw, my Enraged Muka Muka’s attack power increases to 3200, making it the strongest monster on the field. When that happens, your Pole Position makes the United We Stand cease to have any effect, dropping my monster’s attack strength to 2400. Since it’s no longer the strongest monster, United We Stand activates again, but then stops again. An infinite loop, Kaiba!
KAIBA: You can’t cause an infinite loop!
YUGI: I’m not causing it, Kaiba! Drawing a card is a basic game rule. The rules are causing it.
KAIBA: What’s your point Yugi? It looks like my Pole Position is going to crush you after all, then.
YUGI: Better look closer, Kaiba!
<Kaiba stares in horror as his Pole Position card begins to smolder… then crack… then shatter!>
YUGI: Your Pole Position couldn’t handle the strain, Kaiba! Now it’s destroyed, and my Enraged Muka Muka still has 3200 attack points! That means I win!
