A replay occurs , and Atem uses " Dark Magician " to attack Yugi ' s " Silent Magician LV0 " , but Yugi activates his face - down " Spell Textbook " to discard his entire hand and draw a card . If it ' s a Spell Card , Yugi can activate its effect immediately ( Yugi skips the Maintenance Cost as his hand is currently empty ) . Yugi draws " Card of Sanctity " and subsequently activates it , forcing both players to draw until they have six cards in their hand ( Yugi draws six cards , while Atem draws five cards ) . The effect of Yugi ' s " Silent Magician LV0 " then activates , which increases its LV by one and its ATK by 500 for each card Atem draws ( " Silent Magician LV0 " → " Silent Magician LV5 " : 1000 → 3500 / 1000 ) .

Since Atem has four cards in his hand , the ATK and DEF of " Slifer " both become 4000 ( " Slifer the Sky Dragon " : X000 → 4000 / X000 → 4000 ) . Atem intends to attack Yugi ' s " Silent Magician LV5 " with " Slifer the Sky Dragon " right now , but the effect of Yugi ' s " Gold Sarcophagus " then activates , revealing the face - down card Yugi selected to Atem . The card is revealed to be " Monster Reborn " . Because Atem activated the same card Yugi removed via " Gold Sarcophagus " , Atem ' s " Monster Reborn " is negated ; " Slifer the Sky Dragon " goes back to the Graveyard .
