Mistakes

 * When Declan uses "D/D Night Howling's" effect to Special Summon "D/D Baphomet", the latter card is shown to be in his hand. However, in the following instant, "D/D Baphomet" is shown coming out from his Graveyard.
 * When Declan adds "D/D Magical Astronomer Kepler" to his hand, he is shown to be holding four cards (including "Kepler") when he should be holding three (to see how his hand would progress to this stage, check the Featured Duel.)
 * Whether or not "D/D/D Caesar the Wave Overlord" has its OCG effect to add a "Covenant" card to his hand upon destruction (which would explain the extra card) is not stated.
