Featured Duels

Playmaker vs. Prototype Ai-A

Duel continues from the previous episode.

Turn 2: Playmaker
Playmaker activates the effect of "Dual Assembloom" in his GY, banishing "Linkslayer" and "Dot Scaper" in his GY to Special Summon with its ATK halved (2800 → 1400/1000). As "Dot Scaper" was banished, Playmaker activates its effect to Special Summon it (0/2100). Playmaker then activates the effect of "Cynet Defrag" in his GY, paying half his LP to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster in his GY in Defense Position and equipping "Cynet Defrag" to that monster (Playmaker: 4000 → 2000 LP). He Special Summons "Flick Clown". As Playmaker has no cards in his hand, he activates the effect of "Flick Clown", paying 1000 LP to draw a card (Playmaker: 2000 → 1000 LP).

At this point, Playmaker enters the Data Storm. Playmaker activates his Skill "Storm Access", which allows him to randomly access a card from a Data Storm when his LP is 1000 or less. Playmaker obtains "Vector Skull Demon" and adds it to his Extra Deck.

Playmaker uses "Dual Assembloom", "Dot Scaper" and "Flick Clown" to Link Summon "Vector Skull Demon" (2400/LINK-3/↙↑→) to the Extra Monster Zone. Playmaker then Normal Summons "Cyberse Wizard" (1800/800) to the bottom-left Link Point of "Vector Skull Demon".

"Cyberse Wizard" attacks and destroys "Tentacluster Drillworm" (600/1200). "Vector Skull Demon" attacks and destroys "Tentacluster Nautilus" (0/LINK-3/↙↓↘) (Ai-A: 3500 → 1100 LP). Playmaker activates the effect of "Vector Skull Demon", Tributing "Cyberse Wizard" to Special Summon "Nautilus" to the top Link Point of "Vector Skull Demon", then allowing "Vector Skull Demon" to attack again. "Vector Skull Demon" attacks and destroys "Nautilus" (Ai-A: 1100 → 0 LP).

Blue Angel vs. Prototype Ai-B

The Duel is conducted as a Speed Duel.

Turn 1: Blue Angel
Blue Angel activates the Field Spell "Trickstar Light Stage". As it was activated, Blue Angel activates the effect of "Light Stage" to add 1 "Trickstar" monster from her deck to her hand. She adds "Trickstar Lilybell" to her hand. As "Lilybell" was added to her hand by a method other than drawing, Blue Angel activates its effect to Special Summon it.
