Description
Yugi Muto was a quiet, game-loving high school student leading an ordinary life... until he solved the Millennium Puzzle. Now destiny has opened the path to an unimaginable journey! His signature card is the mighty "Gandora the Dragon of Destruction" that has the power to wipe out everyone.

When dueling against Level 40 Yugi Muto, these are the only cards that can drop; at lower levels, cards from the standard pool for Legendary Duelists may also drop.
Until the end of your turn, the ATK of all face-up monsters on your field increases by the number of monsters on your field times 100. This skill can only be used once per turn.
