Featured Duel: Playmaker vs. Bohman

The Duel is conducted as a Speed Duel.

Turn 1: Playmaker
Playmaker activates the Spell Card "Cynet Mining", sending a card from his hand to the GY to add a Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster from his Deck to his hand, but Playmaker cannot Link Summon Link-3 or higher Link Monsters for the rest of this turn. He sends "Dotscaper" to add the Level 4 "Cyberse Gadget" and subsequently Normal Summon it (1400/300). As "Cyberse Gadget" was Normal Summoned, Playmaker activates its effect, targeting a Level 2 or lower monster in his GY and Special Summoning it in Defense Position, but its effects are negated. He targets and Special Summons the Level 1 "Dotscaper" (0/2100). Playmaker sets "Dotscaper" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Linkuriboh" (300/↓) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Dotscaper" was sent to the GY, Playmaker activates its effect, Special Summoning it (0/2100). Playmaker sets "Cyberse Gadget" and "Linkuriboh" to Link Summon "Cyberse Witch" (800/↙↓) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Cyberse Gadget" was sent from the field to the GY, Playmaker activates its effect, Special Summoning a "Gadget Token". He Special Summons it (0/0) in Defense Position to a zone "Cyberse Witch" points to. As a monster was Special Summoned to a zone "Cyberse Witch" points to, Playmaker activates its effect, banishing a Spell Card from his GY to add a Cyberse Ritual Monster and "Cynet Ritual" from his Deck to his hand. He banishes "Cynet Mining" to add "Cyberse Magician" and "Cynet Ritual". During the Main Phase, as the first effect of "Cyberse Witch" was activated this turn, Playmaker activates its second effect, targeting a Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster in his GY and Special Summoning it. He targets and Special Summons "Cyberse Gadget" (1400/300).

Playmaker activates the Ritual Spell Card "Cynet Ritual", Ritual Summoning a Cyberse Ritual Monster by Tributing monsters from his hand or field whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of that Ritual Monster. He Tributes the Level 2 "Gadget Token", the Level 4 "Cyberse Gadget", and the Level 1 "Dotscaper" to Ritual Summon "Cyberse Magician" (2500/2000). Playmaker activates the Equip Spell Card "Grid Rod", equipping it to "Cyberse Magician". The effects of "Grid Rod" increase the ATK of the equipped "Cyberse Magician" by 300, also it is unaffected by Bohman's card effects, and prevent it from being destroyed by battle or card effects once per turn ("Cyberse Magician": 2500 → 2800 ATK).

Turn 2: Bohman
Bohman Normal Summons "Hydradrive Booster". Bohman sets "Hydradrive Booster" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Flow Hydradrive" (1000/↓) to the Extra Monster Zone. Bohman activates the Spell Card "Hydradrive Rebuild", targeting a "Hydradrive" monster he controls and destroying it, then if the "Hydradrive" monster that was destroyed by this effect activates its effect in his GY this turn, Bohman Special Summons a "Hydradrive" monster from his GY, but it cannot attack, its effects are negated, also it is destroyed during the End Phase. He targets and destroys "Flow Hydradrive". As "Flow Hydradrive" was destroyed by battle or card effect, Bohman activates its effect, Special Summoning a "Hydradrive Token" (0/0) in Defense Position. As "Flow Hydradrive" activated its effect from the GY, Bohman Special Summons "Flow Hydradrive" (1000/↓) to the middle Main Monster Zone. Bohman activates the Link Spell Card "Judgment Arrows" (↖↑↗) at the Spell & Trap Zone the bottom-center Link Arrow of "Flow Hydradrive" points to. As a "Hydradrive" Link Monster Bohman controls was destroyed by a card effect this turn, Bohman activates the Quick-Play Spell Card "Hydradrive Defragment", targeting a Spell/Trap Card Playmaker controls and destroying it. He targets and destroys "Grid Rod" ("Cyberse Magician": 2800 → 2500 ATK). As "Grid Rod" was sent to the GY while equipped to a monster, Playmaker activates its effect, making that monster unable to be destroyed battle or card effects this turn.

Bohman sets a "Hydradrive Token" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Burn Hydradrive" (1000/↓) to a zone "Judgment Arrows" points to. Bohman activates the effect of "Hydradrive Defragment" in his GY, banishing it, then targeting a "Hydradrive" Spell Card in his GY to add it to his hand. He targets, adds, and subsequently activates "Hydradrive Rebuild", targeting a "Hydradrive" monster he controls and destroying it, then if the "Hydradrive" monster that was destroyed by this effect activates its effect in his GY this turn, Bohman Special Summons a "Hydradrive" monster from his GY, but it cannot attack, its effects are negated, also it is destroyed during the End Phase. He targets and destroys "Burn Hydradrive". As "Burn Hydradrive" was destroyed by battle or card effect, Bohman activates its effect, Special Summoning a "Hydradrive Token" (0/0) in Defense Position. As "Burn Hydradrive" activated its effect from the GY, Bohman Special Summons "Burn Hydradrive" (1000/↓). Bohman sets a "Hydradrive Token" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Coolant Hydradrive" (1000/↓) to a zone "Judgment Arrows" points to.

Bohman sets "Flow Hydradrive", "Burn Hydradrive" and "Coolant Hydradrive" to Link Summon "Trident Hydradrive Lord" (2300/←↓→) to a zone "Judgment Arrows" points to. As "Hydradrive Lord" was Link Summoned, Bohman activates its effect, targeting up to three "Hydradrive" Link Monsters in his GY that was used as materials for its Link Summon, and changing its Attribute on the field to become the same as those monsters'. He targets the WIND "Flow Hydradrive", the FIRE "Burn Hydradrive", and the WATER "Coolant Hydradrive". The effect of "Hydradrive Lord" negates the effects of monsters with the same Attributes as "Hydradrive Lord" while Playmaker controls them. Bohman Sets a card. "Hydradrive Lord" attacks "Cyberse Magician". If a Link Monster "Judgment Arrows" points to battles, its effect makes that monster's ATK become double its current ATK during damage calculation only ("Hydradrive Lord": 2300 → 4600 ATK). If "Cyberse Wizard" battles a Link Monster, its effect increases its ATK by 1000 during that damage calculation only ("Cyberse Magician": 2500 → 3500 ATK). The effect of "Cyberse Magician" halves any damage Playmaker takes. The attack continues and "Cyberse Magician" is not destroyed (Playmaker: 4000 → 3450 LP).

Turn 3: Playmaker
Playmaker draws "Suspend Wand". Playmaker activates the Equip Spell Card "Resume Mace", equipping it to "Cyberse Magician". The effect of "Resume Mace" decreases the ATK of the the equipped "Cyberse Magician" by 800 ("Cyberse Magician": 2500 → 1700 LP). Playmaker activates the Equip Spell Card "Suspend Wand", equipping it to "Cyberse Magician". "Cyberse Magician" attacks "Hydradrive Lord". As the equipped "Cyberse Magician" declared an attack, Playmaker activates the effect of "Suspend Wand", this turn, the equipped "Cyberse Magician" cannot be destroyed by battle, and any battle damage Playmaker takes from that battle is doubled, also the equipped "Cyberse Magician" can make a second attack during each Battle Phase. During damage calculation, the effects of "Judgment Arrows" and "Cyberse Magician" apply ("Hydradrive Lord": 2300 → 4600 ATK, "Cyberse Magician": 1700 → 2700 ATK). The effect of "Cyberse Magician" halves any damage Playmaker takes. The attack continues and "Cyberse Magician" is not destroyed (Playmaker: 3450 → 1550 LP). "Cyberse Magician" attacks "Hydradrive Lord". During damage calculation, as the equipped "Cyberse Magician" is attacking a monster with higher ATK, Playmaker activates the effect of "Resume Mace", sending it to the GY to double the original ATK of the monster it was equipped to, until the end of the Battle Phase ("Cyberse Magician": 1700 → 4200 ATK). During damage calculation, the effects of "Judgment Arrows" and "Cyberse Magician" apply ("Hydradrive Lord": 2300 → 4600 ATK, "Cyberse Magician": 4200 → 5200 ATK). As the equipped "Cyberse Magician" is attacking Bohman's monster, Playmaker activates the effect of "Suspend Wand", sending it to the GY to make the monster it was equipped to gain ATK equal to the total battle damage Playmaker took this turn from battles involving the equipped monster, until the end of Bohman's turn ("Cyberse Magician": 5200 → 6000 → 7900 ATK). The attack continues and "Hydradrive Lord" is destroyed (Bohman: 4000 → 700 LP). As Bohman took battle damage, he activates his face-down Continuous Trap Card "Property Flash", placing a Property Counter on it for every 1000 damage he took, then ending the Battle Phase. Bohman took 3300 damage, so he places 3 Property Counters on it ("Property Flash": 0 → 3 Property Counters).
