Featured Duel: Soulburner vs. Blue GalEdit
The Duel is conducted as a Speed Duel.
Turn 1: Blue Gal
Blue Gal activates the Spell Card "Trickstar Vision", Special Summoning a "Trickstar" monster from her hand with its effects negated and ATK halved, then letting both players draw a card. She Special Summons "Trickstar Lilybell" (800 → 400/2000). Blue Gal activates the effect of "Trickstar Lycoris" in her hand, Special Summoning it (1600/1200), then returning a "Trickstar" monster she controls to her hand. She returns "Lilybell" to her hand. As "Lilybell" was added to her hand by a method other than drawing, Blue Gal activates its effect, Special Summoning it (800/2000). Blue Gal uses "Lilybell" and "Lycoris" to Link Summon "Trickstar Divaridis" (1800/↙↓) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Divaridis" was Special Summoned, Blue Gal activates its effect, inflicting 200 damage to Soulburner (Soulburner: 4000 → 3800 LP). Blue Gal activates the Field Spell Card "Trickstar Live Stage". As "Live Stage" was activated, Blue Gal uses its effect, adding a "Trickstar" monster from her GY to her hand. She adds "Lycoris". Blue Gal activates the effect of "Live Stage", Special Summoning a "Trickstar Token" (0/0) in Defense Position to a zone a "Trickstar" Link Monster points to. She Special Summons it to a zone "Divaridis" points to. Blue Gal Tributes a "Trickstar Token" to Tribute Summon "Trickstar Birdhelm" (0/1800). As "Birdhelm" was Normal Summoned, Blue Gal activates its effect, inflicting 200 damage to Soulburner (Soulburner: 3800 → 3600 LP), then drawing a card, however Blue Gal cannot conduct her Battle Phase this turn. Blue Gal activates the effect of "Lycoris" in her hand, Special Summoning it (1600/1200), then returning a "Trickstar" monster she controls to her hand. She returns "Birdhelm" to her hand. Blue Angel activates the effect of "Birdhelm" in her hand, equipping it to a "Trickstar" Link Monster she controls.
Turn 2: Soulburner
Soulburner draws "Gate of Fire". As a card was added to Soulburner's hand, the effect of "Lycoris" inflicts 200 damage to him for each card added (Soulburner: 3600 → 3400 LP). Soulburner activates the effect of "Salamangreat Meer" in his hand, sending a "Salamangreat" monster from his hand to the GY to Special Summon it (800/600). He sends "Salamangreat Falco". As Soulburner Normal or Special Summoned a monster, the effect of "Divaridis" inflicts 200 damage to him (Soulburner: 3400 → 3200 LP). Soulburner activates the effect of "Falco" in his GY, returning a "Salamangreat" monster he controls to the hand to Special Summon it (1200/1600). He returns "Meer". The effects of "Divaridis" and "Lycoris" are applied (Soulburner: 3200 → 3000 → 2800 LP). As "Meer" was added to Soulburner's hand other than his normal draw, he activates its effect, Special Summoning it (800/600). The effect of "Divaridis" is applied (Soulburner: 2800 → 2600 LP). Soulburner Normal Summons "Salamangreat Wolvie" (1700/1000) (Soulburner: 2600 → 2400 LP). Soulburner uses "Meer", "Falco" and "Wolvie" to Link Summon "Salamangreat Heatleo" (2300/↙↑↘) to the Extra Monster Zone (Soulburner: 2400 → 2200 LP). While "Birdhelm" is equipped to a "Trickstar" monster by its effect, Soulburner cannot target cards Blue Gal controls with card effects. Soulburner Sets a card.
"Heatleo" attacks "Divaridis". During the Damage Step, as her "Trickstar" monster is battling Soulburner's monster, Blue Gal activates the effect of "Trickstar Calobane" in her hand, sending it to the GY to increase the ATK of "Divaridis" by its original ATK ("Divaridis": 1800 → 3600 ATK). As "Wolvie" was used as a Link Material for the Link Summon of a "Salamangreat" Link Monster, that Link Monster cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects this turn. The attack continues and "Heatleo" is not destroyed (Soulburner: 2200 → 900 LP).
Turn 3: Blue Gal
As there is a Set card in Soulburner's Spell & Trap Zone, Blue Gal activates the effect of "Live Stage", Special Summoning a "Trickstar Token" (0/0). While "Birdhelm" is equipped to a "Trickstar" monster by its effect, the equipped monster gains an effect that inflicts 200 damage to Soulburner each time a "Trickstar" monster is Special Summoned. As a card or effect that would inflict damage to Soulburner is activated, he activates his face-down Continuous Trap Card "Gate of Fire", preventing either player from taking 300 or less effect damage. Blue Gal activates her Skill "Trickstar Gig", sending cards from the top of her Deck to the GY equal to the number of "Trickstar" monsters she controls, then adding a "Trickstar" card from her GY to her hand. She adds "Trickstar Fusion". Blue Gal uses a "Trickstar Token" and "Lycoris" to Link Summon "Trickstar Holly Angel" (2000/↙↘) to a zone "Divaridis" points to. Blue Gal activates the effect of "Live Stage", Special Summoning a "Trickstar Token" (0/0) in Defense Position to a zone "Divaridis" points to.
Blue Gal activates the Spell Card "Trickstar Fusion", Fusion Summoning a "Trickstar" Fusion Monster from her Extra Deck using monsters from her hand or field as Fusion Materials. She fuses "Holly Angel" and a "Trickstar Token" to Fusion Summon "Trickstar Band Sweet Guitar" (2200/1200) to a zone "Divaridis" points to. As "Sweet Guitar" was Special Summoned, the effect of "Divaridis" that was granted by "Birdhelm" inflicts 200 damage to Soulburner, but all effect damage from the effect of a "Trickstar" monster that points to "Sweet Guitar" is doubled (Soulburner: 900 → 500 LP). As Soulburner took damage from the effect of a "Trickstar" monster, the effect of "Sweet Guitar" activates, increasing its ATK equal to the damage taken until the End Phase ("Sweet Guitar": 2200 → 2600 ATK). Blue Gal activates the effect of "Trickstar Fusion" in her GY, banishing it to add a "Trickstar" monster from her GY to her hand, however Blue Gal cannot Normal or Special Summon monsters with that name for the rest of this turn. She adds "Calobane" to her hand.
"Sweet Guitar" attacks "Heatleo". As Blue Gal's monster attacked his monster, Soulburner activates the effect of "Salamangreat Raccoon" in his hand, sending it to the GY to gain LP equal to the ATK of Blue Gal's attacking monster, prevent his monster from being destroyed, and prevent Blue Gal from activating card effects until the end of the Damage Step (Soulburner: 500 → 3100 LP). The attack continues and "Heatleo" is not destroyed (Soulburner: 3100 → 2800 LP). "Divaridis" attacks "Heatleo". Blue Gal activates the effect of "Calobane" in her hand ("Divaridis": 1800 → 3600 ATK). The attack continues and "Heatleo" is not destroyed (Soulburner: 2800 → 1500 LP). During the End Phase, as "Sweet Guitar" attacked this turn, Blue Gal activates its effect, returning the ATK gained by its effect to 0 ("Sweet Guitar": 2600 → 2200 ATK), then adding a "Trickstar" monster from her GY to her hand. She adds "Calobane".
Turn 4: Soulburner
Soulburner activates his Skill "Burning Draw", lowering his LP to 100 to draw a card for every 1000 LP lost (Soulburner: 1500 → 100 LP), in this case one. He draws and subsequently activates the Spell Card "Fusion of Fire", Fusion Summoning a "Salamangreat" Fusion Monster from his Extra Deck using monsters from his hand or either side of the field as Fusion Materials. He fuses "Heatleo" and "Divaridis" to Fusion Summon "Salamangreat Violet Chimera" (2800/2000) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Violet Chimera" was Fusion Summoned, Soulburner activates its effect, increasing its ATK by an amount equal to the half the total ATK of the Fusion Material Monsters used for its Fusion Summon ("Violet Chimera": 2800 → 4850 ATK).
"Violet Chimera" attacks "Sweet Guitar". Blue Gal activates the effect of "Calobane" in her hand ("Sweet Guitar": 2200 → 4400 ATK). As "Violet Chimera" is battling a monster whose current ATK is different from its original ATK, Soulburner activates its effect, doubling its ATK during damage calculation ("Violet Chimera": 4850 → 9700 ATK). The attack continues and "Sweet Guitar" is destroyed (Blue Gal: 4000 → 0 LP).
