Turn 2: Playmaker
Playmaker activates the effect of "Dual Assembwurm" in his GY, banishing two other Cyberse monsters from his GY to Special Summon it, but its ATK becomes halved. He banishes "Dotscaper" and "Linkslayer", and Special Summons "Dual Assembwurm" (2800 → 1400/1000). As "Dotscaper" was banished, Playmaker activates its effect, Special Summoning it (0/2100). Playmaker activates the Equip Spell "Cynet Defrag", paying half his LP to activate it from the GY (Playmaker: 4000 → 2000 LP), targeting a Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster in his GY and Special Summoning it in Defense Position, then equipping "Cynet Defrag" to it.

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. 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 "Vector Scare Archfiend" and adds it to his Extra Deck.

Playmaker sets "Dotscaper", "Dual Assembwurm", and "Flick Clown" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Vector Scare Archfiend" (2400/↙↑→) to the Extra Monster Zone.

As "Vector Scare Archfiend" destroyed Green-A's monster by battle, Playmaker activates its effect, Tributing a monster to Special Summon the destroyed monster to Green-A's zone "Vector Scare Archfiend" points to, then "Vector Scare Archfiend" can attack again in a row, on that monster. He Tributes "Cyberse Wizard", then Special Summons "Nautilus" to the zone the top-center Link Arrow of "Vector Scare Archfiend" points to. "Vector Scare Archfiend" attacks and destroys "Nautilus" (Green-A: 1100 → 0 LP).
