Turn 6: Yuri

Sora activates the Action Card "Bubble Wall", inflicting 300 LP damage to Yuri (400 → 100). He then obtains this turns Action Card. Yuri sets his second Pendulum Scale with "Predaplant Spider Orchid" (PS 8). As it was activated in the Pendulum Zone, Yuri activates the effect of "Spider Orchid" allowing him to destroy one card in the Pendulum Zone. He destroys "Frightfur Claw Pirate". Next, he Pendulum Summons "Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon" (2500/2000) from his hand and "Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon" (1200/600) and "Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon" (1200/2400) from his Extra Deck. He activates the effect of "Persona Dragon" to negate the effects of "Dangerous Frightfur Nightmary". However, Sora activates the effect of "Nightmary", as Yuri activated an effect, he banishes one Frightfur Unit from his Extra Deck to prevent it from being targeted by effects. He banishes "Frightfur Bone Diver". Yuri activates "Polymerization", fusing his 3 DARK monsters, "Mirage Dragon", "Persona Dragon" and "Phantom Dragon", he Fusion Summons "Starving Venemy Lethal Dose Dragon" (2800/???). Yuri proceeds to activate the effect of "Lethal Dose", negating the effects of all of Sora's monsters. However, Sora activates the effect of "Nightmary" once again, banishing "Claw Pirate" from his Extra Deck to prevent it being affected. Yuri activates Yuya's Trap Card "Sharp Pendulum Strike" allowing him to destroy one monster his opponent controls as he has no cards in his hand and only one Pendulum Monster on the field. He targets "Nightmary" for destruction. Sora responds by activating his Trap Card, "Frightfur Change of Memory" allowing him to Special Summon a Frightfur Unit Pendulum Monster from his deck, then change the target of a card effect. He Special Summons "Bone Diver" from his deck and selects it as the new target for "Sharp Pendulum Strike". As "Bone Diver" was destroyed whilst on the field, it's monster effect activates doubling Sora's LP as it is currently only 2000 (Sora LP 2000 → 4000). Yuri activates the Action Spell "Revibubble" allowing him to set 1 Trap Card from his Graveyard that had been activated this turn, as well as gaining the ability to activate said card. He sets "Sharp Pendulum Strike". Sora also activates "Revibubble", choosing to re-set "Frightfur Change of Memory" from his Graveyard. Yuri once again activates the effect of "Sharp Pendulum Strike", targeting "Nightmary". Sora then re-activates "Frightfur Change of Memory", Special Summoning a third "Bone Diver" and changing the effect target to it.

Yuri declares an attack against "Nightmary" with "Lethal Dose Dragon". As it is battling, the effect of "Nightmary" activates, increasing it's ATK by 300 for each Frightfur Unit in his Graveyard (2000 → 5900). At this point, he reveals the Pendulum effect of "Starving Venemy Dragon". Every time a card was removed from the field, "Starving Venemy" placed 1 Venemy Counter on each monster on the field. He also reveals the second effect of "Lethal Dose Dragon", who also place 1 Venemy Counter on every monster each time a card was removed from the field. As 11 cards left the field this turn, both monsters placed a total of 47 counters on the field. Due to an unknown effect, all monsters, except "Starving Venemy" monsters, lose 100 ATK for each Venemy Counter on the field (Dangerous Frightfur Nightmary 5900 → 1200). Yuri then activates the third effect of "Lethal Dose Dragon", increasing its ATK by 100 for each Venemy Counter on the field when it attacks (2800 → 7500).

Duel continues from the next Scale.
