Featured Duel: Alexis Rhodes vs. Yuri


Turn 1: Alexis Rhodes

Alexis activates "Machine Angel Absolute Ritual", letting her Tribute "Cyber" monsters from her hand or field or return "Cyber" monsters from her Graveyard to her Deck to Ritual Summon a "Cyber Angel" Ritual Monster. She Tributes "Cyber Tutubon" from her hand to Ritual Summon "Cyber Angel Nasateiya" (1000/1000) in Defense Position. As "Cyber Tutubon" was sent to the Graveyard for a ritual Summon, its effect activates, letting her add a Ritual Spell Card fro her Graveyard to her hand. She adds "Absolute Ritual" and activates it, returning "Tutubon" to her Deck to Ritual Summon a second copy of "Nasateiya" (1000/1000) in Defense Position. Alexis activates the effects of both copies of "Nasateiya", letting her target a monster she controls and gain Life Points equal to half its ATK. She targets the other copy of "Nasateiya" both times (Alexis: 4000 5000).

Turn 2: Yuri

Yuri activates the Continuous Spell Card, "Ancient Gear Fortress", preventing "Ancient Gear" monsters he controls from being targeted by or destroyed by his opponent's card effects during the turn they are Normal or Special Summoned. It will also prevent the opponent from activating any cards or effects in response to the activation of any "Ancient Gear" card. As he controls no monsters, Yuri activates "Ancient Gear catapult", letting him target and destroy a face-up card he controls and Special Summon an "Ancient Gear" monster from his Deck, ignoring the Summoning conditions. He destroys "Fortress" and Special Summons "Ancient Gear Gadget" (500/2000). As "Fortress" was destroyed, its effect activates, letting Yuri Special Summon an "Ancient Gear" monster from his hand or Gravyeard, but he may not Special Summon any monsters for the rest of this turn except "Ancient Gear" monsters. He Special Summons "Ancient Gear Wyvern" from his hand in Attack Position (1700/1200). As it was Normal or Special Summoned its effect activates, letting Yuri add an "Ancient Gear" monsters from his Deck to his hand. He adds "Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon". Yuri activates the effect of "Ancient Gear Gadget", letting declare the name of another "Gadget" monster and change the anime of "Ancient Gear Gadget" to that card's name until the End Phase. He declares "Red Gadget". Yuri Tributes "Wyvern" and "Gadget" to Tribute Summon "Reactor Dragon" (3000/3000) in Attack Position. "Reactor Dragon" attacks "Nasateiya". As another "Cyber" monster she controls is being attacked, Alexis activates the effect of the other "Nasateiya", which would negate the attack, but the effect of "Reactor Dragon" prevents the opponent from activating Spell or Trap Cards or the effects of monsters, until the end of the Damage Step. The attack continues and "Nasateiya" is destroyed, with the effect of "Reactor Dragon" inflicting piercing battle damage as it was Tribute Summoned by Tributing an "Ancient Gear" monster (Alexis 5000 3000). As "Reactor Dragon" was Tribute Summoned by Tributing a "Gadget" monster, it may attack twice per Battle Phase. "Reactor Dragon" attacks and destroys the second "Nasateiya", inflicting piercing damage (Alexis: 3000 1000). Yuri Sets a card.
