* WhosLaughingNow: When Turner manages to beat Bernard with a Super Beast, she spurs on the other kids to laugh at him for not knowing about them. However when Bernard returns with a neck deck of cards including Super Beasts, he crushes Turner in a rematch, and proceeds to crush all the other kids so completely that they're all sent running out of the Creek screaming in terror.

* BribingYourWayToVictory: Because he has a job and income, Bernard is able to easily buy new cards to make his deck outclass those of the other kids of the Creek. He gets booed for boasting about it.


Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: Turner and Bring Out Your Beast was already used to reference Yu-Gi-Oh. When Bernard catches up to the new mechanics, he uses his [[BribingYourWayToVictory income from his job to buy superior cards to everyone]], becoming a pastiche of Seto Kaiba.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Turner is a relatively weak Bring out Your Beast player and Bernard has far more skill and experience than her. But Bernard hasn't played in years and doesn't know [[PowerCreep about the newer mechanics of the game]] allowing Turner to defeat Bernard with a type of beast he's not familiar with. Conversely though, after Bernard learns about the new mechanics and returns with a new deck of cards, [[CurbStompBattle Turner doesn't even last one turn against him.]]
