Featured Duel: Gavin Sogetsu vs. Romin Kassidy[]
The Duel is conducted as a Rush Duel.
Turn 1: Gavin
Gavin's hand contains "Scroll of Simultaneous Salutations", "Greater Piercing!!", "Fiendish Commander Yameruler", "Binding Chain" and "Turtle Keeper of Traditions". Gavin Normal Summons "Turtle Keeper of Traditions" (0/1400) and "Binding Chain" (1000/1100), then tributes them to Tribute Summon "Fiendish Commander Yameruler" (2500/2500). Gavin activates the effect of "Yameruler" as it was Normal Summoned this turn, letting him change its battle position to prevent both players from Tribute Summoning Level 7 or higher monsters until the end of Romin's next turn. "Yameruler" switches to Defense Position. Gavin Sets 2 cards.
Turn 2: Romin
Romin's hand contains "Elechic Ampoule", "Lullabind", "Prima Guitarna of the Colorful Light", "Elengel" and "Eleckiss". Romin Sets 2 monsters, then Sets 2 cards.
Turn 3: Gavin
Since Gavin has no cards in his hand, he draws five cards. Gavin Normal Summons "Turtle Keeper of Traditions" (0/1400) and "Enshrined Deity Modorina" (800/500). He activates the effect of "Modorina", letting him return 1 face-up Level 7 or higher Warrior monster from his field to his hand. He returns "Yameruler", then tributes "Turtle Keeper of Traditions" and "Modorina" to Tribute Summon "Yameruler" (2500/2500) again. Gavin activates the effect of "Yameruler" as it was Normal Summoned this turn, letting him change its battle position to prevent both players from Tribute Summoning Level 7 or higher monsters until the end of Romin's next turn. "Yameruler" switches to Defense Position. Gavin then Normal Summons two copies of "Battle Commander Nandes" (1200/1000). He activates the effect of "Nandes", letting him change 1 face-up Warrior monster he controls from Defense Position to Attack Position. He switches "Yameruler" to Attack Position. Gavin activates his set Spell "Greater Piercing!!", letting him send 1 card from his hand to the GY to allow 2 monsters he controls with the same Level to inflict piercing damage this turn. He sends "Mountain Hermit Yur" to the GY and targets the 2 copies of "Nandes".
Both copies of "Nandes" attack and destroy Romin's 2 Set Monsters, which are revealed to be "Eleckiss" (300/1000) and "Elengel" (500/800) (Romin: 4000 → 3800 → 3400 LP). "Yameruler" attacks directly (Romin: 3400 → 900 LP).
Turn 4: Romin
Since Romin has one card in her hand, she draws four cards. Romin Normal Summons "Romance Pick" (500/0). Since she has less LP than Gavin, Romin activates the effect of "Romance Pick", paying 500 LP (Romin: 900 → 400 LP) to send the top 3 cards of her Deck to the GY, and if one of those is a Psychic monster then she can add a Psychic monster from her GY to her hand. She sends "Blue Medicine", "2-Block" and "Eleckiss" to the GY, then adds "Eleckiss" to her hand. Romin Normal Summons "Eleckiss" (300/1000) and "Elengel" (500/800). Since she controls 2 or more face-up Psychic monsters, Romin activates her set Spell "Lullabind", letting her change 1 face-up monster Gavin controls to face-down Defense Position. She targets "Yameruler", meaning that "Yameruler"'s effect no longer applies. Romin activates her set Spell "Elechic Ampoule"; letting her choose up to 2 face-up Level 2 or lower Psychic Normal Monsters and gain LP equal to the total ATK of the chosen monsters. She targets "Eleckiss" and "Elengel" (Romin: 400 → 1200 LP).
Romin tributes "Eleckiss" and "Elengel" to Tribute Summon "Prima Guitarna of the Colorful Light" (2200/0). Romin Normal Summons another copy of Elengel (500/800), then tributes it along with "Romance Pick" to Tribute Summon "Esperaid of the Smashing Light" (2500/0). Romin activates the effect of "Prima Guitarna", paying 1000 LP (Romin: 1200 → 200 LP) to increase the ATK of her monsters by 300 for each monster Gavin controls ("Prima Guitarna": 2200 → 3100 ATK, "Esperaid" 2500 → 3400 ATK). Since her LP are 1000 or less, Romin activates the effect of "Esperaid", letting her destroy up to 2 monsters Gavin controls. She destroys "Yameruler" and a copy of "Nandes". "Prima Guitarna" attacks and destroys "Nandes" (Gavin: 4000 → 2100 LP). "Esperaid" attacks directly (Gavin: 2100 → 0 LP).
