Featured Duel: Blue Angel vs. Baira
The Duel is conducted as a Speed Duel.
Turn 1: Blue Angel
Blue Angel activates the Field Spell Card "Trickstar Light Stage". Upon activation, she can add a "Trickstar" monster from her Deck to her hand. Blue Angel adds "Trickstar Lilybell". As "Lilybell" was added to Blue Angel's hand using a method other than drawing, Blue Angel activates its effect, Special Summoning it (800/2000). Blue Angel Normal Summons "Trickstar Nightshade" (100/0). Blue Angel uses "Lilybell" and "Nightshade" to Link Summon "Trickstar Holly Angel" (2000/LINK-2/↙↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Nightshade" was used as a Link Material for the Link Summon of a "Trickstar" monster, Blue Angel activates its effect, Special Summoning it from the Graveyard. She Special Summons it to the bottom-left Link Point of "Holly Angel". As a "Trickstar" monster was Normal or Special Summoned to a zone "Holly Angel" points to, it inflicts 200 damage to Baira (Baira: 4000 → 3800 LP). As a "Trickstar" monster inflicted battle or effect damage, "Light Stage" inflicts an additional 200 damage to Baira (Baira: 3800 → 3600 LP). Blue Angel sets a card.
Turn 2: Baira
As there is a Field Spell Card present on the field, Baira activates the effect of "Dark Mummy Probe" in her hand, Special Summoning it (700/0), then destroying a Field Spell Card. She destroys "Light Stage". Baira then Normal Summons another "Probe" (700/0). Baira sets a card. She then activates the Continuous Spell Card "Temple of the Kings", which allows her to activate a Trap Card the turn it was set. Baira activates her face-down Trap Card "Current Corruption Virus", Tributing a DARK monster with 0 DEF to negate the effects of all monsters Blue Angel controls with 2000 or less DEF and reduce their ATK to 0 for the next three turns. She Tributes "Zombie" ("Nightshade": 100 → 0 ATK). Link Monsters do not have DEF, hence "Holly Angel" is unaffected by the effect of "Current Corruption Virus". Baira activates the Quick-Play Spell Card "Monster Restitch", Tributing a "Dark Mummy" monster she controls to Special Summon 3 "Dark Mummy Tokens". She Tributes "Probe". Baira uses the 3 "Dark Mummy Tokens" to Link Summon "Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps" (2400/LINK-3/↙↑→) to the Extra Monster Zone.
"Surgical Forceps" attacks "Holly Angel", but Blue Angel activates the Continuous Trap Card "Trickstar Perennial" and subsequently activates its effect, sending a "Trickstar" monster to the Graveyard to prevent the destruction of a "Trickstar" monster by battle until the end of this turn. She sends "Nightshade" to the Graveyard to prevent "Holly Angel" from being destroyed by battle. The attack continues, with the effect of "Perennial" preventing the destruction of "Holly Angel" (Blue Angel: 4000 → 3600 LP).
Duel continues in the next episode.
