Featured Duels

Playmaker vs. Varis

Duel continues from the previous episode.

Turn 3: Varis
As a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, was activated that would inflict damage to Playmaker, he activates his face-down Counter Trap Card "Link Restart", negating the activation. The activation of the effect of "Topologic Bomber Dragon" is negated. Playmaker activates the effect of "Link Restart" in his GY, banishing it, then targeting a Link Monster in his GY to Special Summon it. He targets and Special Summons "Decode Talker" (2300/↙↑↘). During the End Phase, Playmaker Special Summons a "Dragonoid Token" (300/300) to his field in Attack Position.

Turn 4: Playmaker
At this point, Playmaker enters the Data Storm. As Playmaker's LP is 1000 or less, he activates his Skill "Storm Access", accessing a Cyberse Link Monster at random from a nearby Data Storm and adding it to his Extra Deck. He obtains "Firewall Dragon" and adds it to his Extra Deck.

Varis activates his face-down Trap Card "Remote Rebirth", targeting a monster in Playmaker's GY and Special Summoning it to Playmaker's Main Monster Zone Varis's Link Monster points to. He targets and Special Summons "Capacitor Stalker" (2000/1000) to the zone the top-center Link Arrow of "Topologic Bomber Dragon" points to. As another monster was Special Summoned to a zone a Link Monster points to, while "Topologic Bomber Dragon" is on the field, its effect activates, destroying all monsters in the Main Monster Zones, also Varis's other monsters cannot attack for the rest of this turn. A "Dragonoid Token", "Decode Talker", and "Capacitor Stalker" are destroyed. As "Capacitor Stalker" in the Monster Zone is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the GY, its effect activates, inflicting 800 damage to each player (Playmaker: 300 → 0 LP, Varis: 100 → 0 LP).

Varis vs. Playmaker

The Duel is conducted as a Master Duel.

Turn 1: Varis
Varis activates the Field Spell Card "Fire Prison". The effects of "Fire Prison" prevent it from being destroyed by other cards' effects, prevent either player from Link Summoning a monster with a lower Link Rating than the monster on the field with the highest Link Rating, and prevent monsters from attacking, except Link Monsters. Varis Normal Summons "Sniffer Dragon" (800/400). The effect of "Fire Prison" increases the DEF of all Dragon monsters Varis controls by 300 ("Sniffer Dragon": 400 → 700 DEF). As "Sniffer Dragon" was Normal or Special Summoned, Varis activates its effect, adding a "Sniffer Dragon" from his Deck to his hand. Varis activates the Quick-Play Spell Card "Quick Launch", Special Summoning a "Rokket" monster from his Deck, but it cannot attack, also it is destroyed during the End Phase. He Special Summons "Magnarokket Dragon" (1800/1200 → 1500). Varis sets "Sniffer Dragon" and "Magnarokket" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Twin Triangle Dragon" (1200/↓→) to the Extra Monster Zone. As a Dragon Link Monster is Special Summoned to Varis's field, Varis activates the effect of "Linkbelt Wall Dragon" in his hand, Special Summoning it. He Special Summons it in Defense Position (0/2100 → 2400). As "Linkbelt Wall Dragon" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, placing two Wall Counters on it ("Linkbelt Wall Dragon": 0 → 2 Wall Counters). The effects of "Linkbelt Wall Dragon" prevent monsters from being Link Summoned unless "Linkbelt Wall Dragon" has at least as many Wall Counters as that monster's Link Rating, and prevent monsters from attacking, except Link Monsters.

Turn 2: Playmaker
During the Standby Phase, the effect of "Linkbelt Wall Dragon" activates, placing a Wall Counter on it, up to a maximum of four ("Linkbelt Wall Dragon": 2 → 3 Wall Counters). As Playmaker controls no monsters, he Special Summons "Linkslayer" (2000/600) from his hand by its own effect. As Playmaker controls a Cyberse monster, he Special Summons "Backup Secretary" (1200/800) from his hand by its own effect. Playmaker Normal Summons "Stack Reviver" (100/600). Playmaker sets "Backup Secretary", "Linkslayer", and "Stack Reviver" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Encode Talker" (2300/↑↓↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Stack Reviver" was used as material for a Link Summon, Playmaker activates its effect, targeting one other Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster in his GY that was used as material for that Link Summon and Special Summoning it in Defense Position. He targets and Special Summons the Level 3 "Backup Secretary" (1200/800) to the zone the bottom-right Link Arrow of "Encode Talker" points to.

The effect of "Linkbelt Wall Dragon" prevents Playmaker's monsters from targeting monsters for attacks, except "Linkbelt Wall Dragon". "Encode Talker" attacks "Linkbelt Wall Dragon" (Playmaker: 4000 → 3900 LP). As Playmaker took battle damage, Playmaker activates the effect of "Interrupt Resistor" in his hand, Special Summoning it, then it gains ATK equal to the damage Playmaker took. He Special Summons it in Defense Position (0 → 100/2100). As Playmaker controls a Cyberse monster whose current ATK is different from its original ATK, he activates the Spell Card "Cyberse Cache", drawing two cards. Playmaker Sets a card.

Turn 3: Varis
During the Standby Phase, the effect of "Linkbelt Wall Dragon" activates, placing a Wall Counter on it ("Linkbelt Wall Dragon": 3 → 4 Wall Counters). Varis Normal Summons "Autorokket Dragon" (1600/1000 → 1300). Varis sets "Autorokket" and the Link-2 "Twin Triangle Dragon" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Triple Burst Dragon" (2400/↑←↓) to the Extra Monster Zone. As Varis Link Summoned a Dragon monster with a lower Link Rating than the number of Wall Counters on "Linkbelt Wall Dragon", its effect activates, removing two Wall Counters from it ("Linkbelt Wall Dragon": 4 → 2 Wall Counters). "Triple Burst Dragon" attacks "Backup Secretary". Before damage calculation, as Playmaker's monster "Encode Talker" points to battled Varis's monster with higher ATK than it, Playmaker activates its effect, making that monster unable to be destroyed by that battle, also Playmaker takes no battle damage from that battle, then after that damage calculation, either "Encode Talker" or a monster it points to gains ATK equal to the ATK of Varis's monster that battled, until the end of this turn. During the Damage Step, as a card or effect was activated while "Triple Burst Dragon" or Varis's monster it points to is battling, Varis activates its effect, negating the activation. The activation of the effect of "Encode Talker" is negated. During damage calculation, as another Defense Position monster Playmaker controls is attacked by Varis's monster, Playmaker activates the effect of "Interrupt Resistor", making his attacked monster's DEF become equal to the DEF of "Interrupt Resistor" during damage calculation, also it cannot be destroyed by that battle ("Backup Secretary": 800 → 2100 DEF). If "Triple Burst Dragon" attacks a Defense Position monster, its effect allows it to inflict piercing battle damage. The attack continues and "Backup Secretary" is not destroyed (Playmaker: 3900 → 3600 LP).

Turn 4: Playmaker
During the Standby Phase, the effect of "Linkbelt Wall Dragon" activates, placing a Wall Counter on it ("Linkbelt Wall Dragon": 2 → 3 Wall Counters). Playmaker Normal Summons "Balancer Lord" (1700/1200). Playmaker sets "Balancer Lord", "Interrupt Resistor", and "Backup Secretary" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Decode Talker" (2300/↙↑↘) to the zone the bottom-center Link Arrow of "Encode Talker" points to. The effect of "Decode Talker" increases its ATK by 500 for each monster it points to. It points to "Encode Talker" ("Decode Talker": 2300 → 2800 ATK). As there are two or more Cyberse Link Monsters on the field, Varis activates the effect of "Fire Prison". While "Fire Prison" is face-up on the field, the effects of all Cyberse monsters while they are in the hand, field, or GY are negated, they cannot attack, they cannot be targeted for attacks, but does not prevent a player from attacking directly, also neither player can target them with card effects. The effects of "Decode Talker" and "Encode Talker" are negated ("Decode Talker": 2800 → 2300 ATK).

Duel continues in the next episode.

Mistakes

• In the dub, when Ai tells Playmaker to attack with "Linkslayer", Playmaker says the effect of "Linkbelt Wall Dragon" prevents him from doing so, when it is actually the effect of "Fire Prison".
