Featured Duel: Yuro Dolera vs. Gressle
Turn 1: Yuro

Sets a monster and 1 Spell or Trap Card.

Turn 2: Gressle 

Activates “Warrior from the Future”, which allows him to Normal Summon 1 Level 7 or higher monster from his hand without Tribute if his opponent controls a monster and he controls no cards. Normal Summons “Tyler the Great Warrior”; when it destroys a monster in battle, the destroyed monster’s ATK is deducted from its controller’s Life Points. He attacks Yuro’s face-down monster. Yuro discards “Ascended Nin-Ken Dog” to prevent the destruction of “Ascended” monsters this turn. Her face-down monster is “Ascended Acrobatic Monkey” (1000/1800), so it is not destroyed. Gressle Sets 1 Spell or Trap Card.

Turn 3: Yuro

Activates "Ascended Ritual", sending “Ascended Soul Tiger” and “Ascended Acrobat Monkey” to the Graveyard to Ritual Summon “Highly Ascended Nightmare Horse” (2500/2000). She banishes “Ascended Ritual” from her Graveyard and targets her “Horse”; it can attack directly (Gressle 4000 → 1500). The effect of “Highly Ascended Nightmare Horse” increases Yuro’s Life Points by the amount of damage inflicted (Yuro 4000 → 6500). Normal Summons “Ascended Niwatori”. It cannot be attacked, and once per turn, by paying 500 Life Points and banishing an “Ascended” monster from her Graveyard, it can negate the attack of an opponent’s monster against an “Ascended” monster and halve its ATK.

Turn 4: Gressle 

Attacks “Highly Ascended Nightmare Horse” with “Tyler the Great Warrior”. Yuro activates the effect of “Ascended Niwatori” (Yuro 6500 → 6000), banishing “Tiger”, but Tyler chains his face-down Trap Card “Divine Judgment”, negating the effect of “Ascended Niwatori” and destroying it. “Tyler the Great Warrior” destroys “Horse” (Yuro 6000 → 5500 →3000). Sets 1 Spell or Trap Card.

Turn 5: Yuro

Activates “Ascending Fusion”, banishing “Horse” and “Niwatori” from her Graveyard to Fusion Summon “Newly Ascended Hippalectryon” (1500/2500) in Attack Position. During the turn it is removed from the field, if the opponent activates the effect of a card that inflicts effect damage to their opponent, they take the same amount of damage. “Hippalectryon” attacks “Tyler the Great Warrior”, but Gressle activates “Mirror Force”. Yuro discards another “Ascended Nin-Ken Dog” to prevent the destruction of her monster by “Mirror Force”. As a result, it “Hippalectryon” is also not destroyed by the battle (Yuro 3500 → 2000).

Turn 6: Gressle 

Activates “Power Down”, decreasing the ATK of “Tyler the Great Warrior” to 0 to draw 2 cards. Banishes "Tyler the Great Warrior" to Special Summon "Tyler the Greatest Warrior" (4500/3000); in addition to inflicting damage to the opponent equal to the destroyed monster’s ATK, it negates the effects of the monster it destroys. Gressle attacks “Hippalectryon” with “The Greatest Warrior”, but Yuro activates “D.D. De-Fusion”, targeting “Hippalectryon” to return it to the Extra Deck and Special Summon “Ascended Niwatori” and “Highly Ascended Nightmare Horse” from her Banished Zone; Gressle chains his face-down “Final Attack Orders”, forcing the monsters to be Special Summoned in Attack Position. A replay occurs, and Gressle opts to attack “Horse”. Yuro activates the effect of “Ascended Niwatori”, banishing “Monkey” from the Graveyard to negate the attack and halve the ATK of “The Greatest Warrior” (4500 → 2750). Tyler activates “Double or Nothing!”, doubling the ATK of “The Ultimate Warrior” (2750 → 4500) and allowing it to attack again. Yuro discards “Kuricat” to halve the battle damage, still taking effect damage (Yuro 2000 → 1000 → 0). Because “Hippalectryon” was removed from the field this turn, Gressle takes the same amount of effect damage (Gressle 1500 → 0). The Duel ends in a Draw.
