I activate my trap card. It lets me discard three cards from my hand to stage a totally fake real contest on the blog. Identify the traps in the picture to win fabulous prizes like nice boats, giant death rays, and stock in Shinra Electric Power Company*. Huzzah**!

*All contestants must be Rickroll’d and subsequently hacked to death by Rena Ryugu or Kotonoha Katsura to be eligible. Stock in Shinra has no cash value and cannot be traded for other prizes. This contest will leave you in despair.

**There are no winners. We’re all losers when it comes to traps.

All joking aside, if you seriously want to participate, I’ll make this a “Name the characters” type of contest.
