conversations:  Ross "the Fang" Simons entered the arena with a grin on his face, it was ten years since he had started making his living as an exhibition duelist, and the crowd tonight was one of the best he'd had in months.
  
   "Remember to place your bets before the duel begins ladies and gentlemen,"  he roared to the crowd,  "Because once we're under way, you'll miss the action."

conversations:  Uluthar, wielder of "Blackedge" stomped his way in through the otherside, his iron shod boots kicking up dust along the way. The undead champion could only be stirred to motion at the prospect of battle nowadays, and he relished in the sense of combat. Pulling out his famed greatsword he jammed it into the ground and said in a voice as soft as thunder  "Let the games begin, boy."

  Gripping the hilt of his sword, Ulthuar turns it and splinters the ground beneath it. Roiling nether energy pouring out of it and shaping the very arena around him, making it reminiscent of his own corpse strewn battlefields of yore (Zombie World). Releasing his grip on the sword he lays down one of his undead soldiers to lie in ambush and hide from sight (Facedown).

  The facedown is revealed to be.... Goblin Zombie!
   Bah, your shark may have destroyed my zombie, but he does not die in vain. I will use Goblin Zombies effect to add a Zombie master from my deck to my hand." 
  
  Raising his palm up, he forces it forward and releases a pulse of dark energy that tears up the ground infront of him, 3 of his long dead commanders pulling themselves free of the dirt, dragging along a single goblin zombie thief. Lurking behind them is a massive behemoth, a beast of shadow and death that seems to swirl through the very air itself. A brood mass of pure destruction and despair.
  
   "I normal summon Zombie Master, and then activate Zombie Masters effect to send Zombie Master from my hand into my graveyard, and rhen special summon the same Zombie Master. I then use the second Zombie Masters effect to send a Zombie Master from my hand to the graveyard, and then special summon that Zombie Master. I then use the Third Zombie Masters effect to send Despair From the Dark from my hand to the graveyard (Who's effect activates, since he is discarded from my hand he is thus special summoned onto the field) in order to special summon Goblin Zombie. Zombie Master attacks and destroys your Spear Shark before the other 2 Zombie Masters, Despair from the Dark, and Goblin Zombie attack directly (Goblin Zombies effect also activates, discard the top card of your deck when he inflicts battle damage to you)."  The undead general sneers beneath his iron helmet  "I'm only getting started, but that's the end of my turn...."

conversations:  Ulthuar seizes his blade, holding it up high as he accepts the glory of victory, the admiration of the crowds, the sensation of a battle won in a single crippling strike. Lowering the tip of the blase towards Ross, Ulthuar says  "You are free to try again later, if you feel like you can handle the true justice of the grave."  He bursts into manic, deep laughter as his shambling horde of zombies return to their ancient burial sites, awaiting the next time that their master would call them forth to do battle.

  Only reason it wouldn't have made a difference in this duel is due to my monster line up being a little wonky- this has now changed significantly, and with my revised deck I could likely have capitalised on "not having a 2800 attack monster staring across the field at me" and pulled out something that could at least have threatened his other monsters...
