the combat stats are the same as the video games

for skills they're put under three stats (brawn, smarts, charm or something like that) & you roll Xd6+Y, where X is your rank in that skill and Y is your rank in that skill's stat

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
Anyone want to chat about the theological implications of being able to capture god in a small ball made by science and forcing him to fight for you?

Once per turn, you can Tribute 1 WATER monster you control (except this card) to Special Summon 1 WATER monster from your hand. The monster Special Summoned by this effect is destroyed if "Raging Eria" is removed from your side of the field.
