Turn 2: Yugi
Yugi activates the Normal Spell "Pot of Greed", allowing him to draw 2 cards. Yugi activates the effect of "Watapon" in his hand: if it is added from his Deck to his hand by a card effect, he can Special Summon it (200/300), which he does so in Attack Position. Yugi Tributes "Watapon" to Tribute Summon "Dark Magician Girl" (2000/1700) in Attack Position. Yugi activates the Normal Spell "Sage's Stone": if he controls a face-up "Dark Magician Girl", he can Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician" from his hand or Deck, which he does so from his Deck in Attack Position (2500/2100). Yugi Sets 1 card in his Spell & Trap Zone. Yugi activates "Dark Burning Magic": if he controls monsters whose original names are "Dark Magician" and "Dark Magician Girl", then he destroys all cards his opponent controls. Kaiba's 3 "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" and his Set "Last Turn" are destroyed.

"Dark Magician" attacks Kaiba directly. In response, Kaiba activates the effect of "Goddess of Sweet Revenge" in his hand: when an opponent's monster declares an attack, while he controls no cards and "Goddess of Sweet Revenge" is the only card in his hand, then he can discard it, in order to destroy as many cards as possible his opponent controls, then Kaiba can Special Summon 1 monster from his Deck. He discards "Goddess of Sweet Revenge", destroys Yugi's "Dark Magician", "Dark Magician Girl", and his Set "Chaos Scepter Blast", and then Special Summons "Deep-Eyes White Dragon" (0/0) from his Deck in Attack Position. Kaiba activates the second effect of "Deep-Eyes White Dragon": if it is Normal or Special Summoned, he targets 1 Dragon monster in his GY, and makes this card's ATK becomes equal to that target's. He targets the 3000 ATK "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" in his GY ("Deep-Eyes White Dragon": 0 → 3000 ATK). Yugi activates the second effect of "Chaos Scepter Blast": if this card in its owner's Spell & Trap Zone is destroyed by an opponent's card effect, Yugi can Special Summon 1 "Magician of Black Chaos" or " Dark Magician of Chaos" from his Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions.

Turn 3: Kaiba
Kaiba activates the Normal Spell "Card of Demise", allowing him to draw until he has 5 cards in his hand, however, during his 5th Standby Phase after activation, he must send all cards in his hand to his GY. He draws 5 cards. Kaiba activates the second effect of "The White Stone of Ancients" in his GY: he can banish it from his GY, then target 1 "Blue-Eyes" monster in his GY, and add it to his hand. He banish "The White Stone of Ancients" from his GY, in order to target and add "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from his GY to his hand. Kaiba reveals it to Special Summon "Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon" (3000/2500) in Attack Position via its own effect. Kaiba activates the second effect of "Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon", allowing him to target 1 monster his opponent controls, and destroy it. However, it cannot attack the turn this effect is activated. He targets "Dark Magician of Chaos". In response, Yugi activates the first effect of "Palladium Oracle Mana" in his hand: during either player's turn, when his opponent activates a card or effect that targets 1 Spellcaster monster he controls (and no other cards), while "Palladium Oracle Mana" is in his hand or GY, he can Special Summon it, which he does so in Attack Position (2000/1700). Due to the second effect of "Palladium Oracle Mana", Level 7 or higher Spellcaster monsters Yugi controls cannot be destroyed by card effects, therefore "Dark Magician of Chaos" is not destroyed by the second effect of "Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon". Kaiba Normal Summons "The King of D." (1200/1100), and activates its second effect: when this card is Normal Summoned, Kaiba can discard 1 Spell/Trap, in order to add 1 "The Flute of Summoning Dragon", "The Melody of Awakening Dragon", or "Dragon Revival Rhapsody" from his Deck to his hand. He discard the Spell "Return of the Dragon Lords", and adds "Dragon Revival Rhapsody" from his Deck to his hand. Kaiba activates the Normal Spell "Dragon Revival Rhapsody": if he controls a Spellcaster monster, he can target up to 2 Dragon monsters in his GY, including at least 1 Normal Monster, and Special Summon them. However, his opponent takes no damage this turn. As he controls the Spellcaster "The King of D.", Kaiba targets and Special Summons 2 "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" from his Graveyard in Attack Position.

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon" attacks "Dark Magician of Chaos". In response, Yugi activates his Set Normal Trap "Mirror Force": when an opponent's monster declares an attack, Yugi destroys all his opponent's Attack Position monsters. Kaiba uses the second effect of "Return of the Dragon Lords" in his GY: if a Dragon monster(s) he controls would be destroyed by battle or card effect, he can banish "Return of the Dragon Lords" instead, which he does so to prevent the destruction of his 2 "Blue-Eyes White Dragons", "Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon", and "Deep-Eyes White Dragon", however "The King of D." is still destroyed.

"Deep-Eyes White Dragon" attacks and destroys "Dark Magician of Chaos" (due to its third effect effect, if it leaves the field, it banishes itself).

The first copy of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" attacks and destroys "Palladium Oracle Mana". Yugi activates the third effect of "Palladium Oracle Mana": if it is destroyed by battle or card effect, he can Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician Girl" from your hand, Deck, or GY. He Special Summons "Dark Magician Girl" from his GY in Defense Position.

He Special Summons "Dark Magician" from his GY in Attack Position. Yugi activates the Normal Spell "Bond Between Teacher and Student": if he controls "Dark Magician", he can Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician Girl" from your hand, Deck, or GY, then, he can Set 1 "Dark Magic Attack", "Dark Burning Attack", "Dark Burning Magic", or "Dark Magic Twin Burst" directly from his Deck. He Special Summons "Dark Magician Girl" from his GY in Attack Position, then he Sets "Dark Burning Attack" from his Deck to his Spell & Trap Zone. Yugi activates his Set "Dark Burning Attack": if he controls a "Dark Magician Girl" monster, he destroys all face-up monsters his opponent controls. Kaiba's 2 "Blue-Eyes White Dragons", "Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon", and "Deep-Eyes White Dragon". Kaiba activates the third effect of "Deep-Eyes White Dragon": if it is destroyed by a card effect while on the field, he destroys all monsters his opponent controls. Yugi's "Dark Magician" and "Dark Magician Girl" are destroyed. Yugi activates the Normal Spell "Card of Sanctity", allowing both players to draw until they have 6 cards in their respective hands. Yugi draw 6 cards and Kaiba 5 cards. Yugi activates the first effect of "Palladium Oracle Mahad": when he draws this card, he can reveal it, in order to Special Summon it from his hand, which he does so in Attack Position (2500/2100). Yugi activates the Ritual Spell "Chaos Form", allowing him to to Ritual Summon any "Chaos" or "Black Luster Soldier" Ritual Monster, by Tributing monsters from his hand or field and/or banishing "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" or "Dark Magician" from his GY, whose total Levels exactly equal the Level of the "Chaos" or "Black Luster Soldier" Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon.

He targets 1 of Kaiba's Set cards in his Spell & Trap Zone. In response, Kaiba activates that targeted Set Normal Trap "Ring of Destruction", allowing him to target 1 face-up monster on the field and destroy it, and if he does, he inflicts damage to both players equal to that target's ATK. He targets "Magician of Chaos". Yugi chains the first effect of "Palladium Oracle Mana" in his GY again, Special Summoning it from his GY in Attack Position. Due to its second effect, Level 7 or higher Spellcaster-Type monsters that Yugi controls cannot be destroyed by card effects, therefore "Magician of Chaos" isn't destroyed by the effect of "Ring of Destruction", therefore it resolves without effect. The effect of "Magician of Chaos" resolves and "Ring of Destruction" is destroyed. The effect of "Upstart Goblin" resolves, with Kaiba gaining 1000 LP (Kaiba: 4000 → 5000 LP) and Yugi draws 1 card.
