'''<u>Turn 1: Blue Angel</u>'''<br />
[[Blue Angel]] [[activate]]s the [[Field Spell]] "[[Trickstar Light Stage (anime)|Trickstar Light Stage]]", [[Add a card|adding]] a "[[Trickstar]]" [[monster]] from her [[Main Deck|Deck]] to her [[hand]]. She adds "[[Trickstar Lilybell (anime)|Trickstar Lilybell]]". As "Lilybell" was added to Blue Angel's hand except by [[Draw a card|drawing]] it, she activates its [[effect]], [[Special Summon]]ing it (800/2000) from her hand. Blue Angel [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Trickstar Candina (anime)|Trickstar Candina]]" (1800/400). As "Candina" was Normal Summoned, Blue Angel activates its effect, adding a "Trickstar" card from her Deck to her hand. She adds "Trickstar Vision". Blue Angel [[Link Material|sets]] "Lilybell" and "Candina" in the [[Link Arrow]]s to [[Link Summon]] "[[Trickstar Holly Angel (anime)|Trickstar Holly Angel]]" (2000/↙↘) to the [[Extra Monster Zone]]. Blue Angel activates the [[Spell]] "[[Trickstar Vision]]", Special Summoning a "Trickstar" monster from her hand, but its [[ATK]] becomes halved, also it has its effects [[negate]]d, then each player draws a card. She Special Summons "[[Trickstar Narkissus (anime)|Trickstar Narkissus]]" (1000 → 500/1800), then both players draw a card. Blue Angel [[Set]]s a card. Blue Angel activates the effect of "[[Trickstar Lycoris (anime)|Trickstar Lycoris]]" in her hand, [[reveal]]ing it, then [[target]]ing a different "Trickstar" monster she controls to Special Summon it, then [[return]] that monster to the hand. She targets "Narkissus", Special Summons "Lycoris" (1600/1200) to the [[zone]] the bottom-left Link Arrow of "Holly Angel" [[points to]], and returns "Narkissus" to her hand. Each time a "Trickstar" monster is Normal or Special Summoned to a zone "Holly Angel" points to, its effect inflicts 200 [[Effect damage|damage]] to [[Prototype Red-B|Red-B]] (Red-B: 4000 → 3800 [[LP]]). Each time a "Trickstar" monster Blue Angel controls inflicts [[Battle damage|battle]] or effect damage to Red-B, the effect of "Light Stage" inflicts 200 damage to him (Red-B: 3800 → 3600 LP).

As Red-B took damage by a "Trickstar" monster's effect, the effect of "Holly Angel" activates, increasing its ATK equal to the damage he took, until the end of this turn ("Holly Angel": 2200 → 2400 ATK).

He targets "Darkwhip" and Special Summons two copies of "Darkwhip" (100/500). Red-B sets three copies of "Darkwhip" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "[[Tentacluster Nautilus]]" (0/↙↓↘) to the Extra Monster Zone.

Red-B activates the effect of "Nautilus", targeting all monsters it points to and destroying them. He targets two copies of "Blastsucker". As a Link Monster's effect is activated that targets the two copies of "Blastsucker" on the field, Red-B activates their effects, destroying them, then inflicting 400 damage to Blue Angel (Blue Angel: 3600 → 3200 → 2800 LP).

She returns "Light Stage" and negates the attack of "Blastsucker".
