{{Duelprev|Featured Duel: Playmaker vs. Earth}}

'''<u>Turn 4: Earth</u>'''<br />
Earth activates the effect of "[[G Golem Crystal Heart]]", Special Summoning an EARTH Link Monster from his GY to his field so it is co-linked to "Crystal Heart", then placing a [[G Golem Counter]] on "Crystal Heart". He Special Summons "[[G Golem Invalid Dolmen]]" (2800/←↑→) to the zone the bottom-center Link Arrow of "Crystal Heart" points to ("Crystal Heart": 0 → 1 G Golem Counter). The effect of "Crystal Heart" increases the ATK of all EARTH monsters it points to by 600 for each G Golem Counter on it ("Invalid Dolmen": 2800 → 3400 ATK). "Invalid Dolmen" attacks and destroys "[[Zombie Prosaber]]" (Playmaker: 3400 → 1600 LP).

'''<u>Turn 5: Playmaker</u>'''<br />
Playmaker Normal Summons "[[Clock Wyvern (anime)|Clock Wyvern]]" (1800/1000). As "Clock Wyvern" was Normal or Special Summoned, Playmaker activates its effect, halving its ATK and Special Summoning a "[[Clock Token (anime)|Clock Token]]" (0/0). Playmaker uses the "Clock Token" to Link Summon "[[Linkuriboh (anime)|Linkuriboh]]" (300/↓) to the [[Extra Monster Zone]]. Playmaker activates the Spell Card "[[Link Back]]", moving a Link Monster in the Extra Monster Zone to a Main Monster Zone it points to, then sending a card from his Deck to the GY equal to the Link Rating of that monster. He moves "Linkuriboh" to the zone its bottom-center Link Arrow pointed to, then sends "[[Flick Clown (anime)|Flick Clown]]". Playmaker activates the Spell Card "[[Cynet Fusion (anime)|Cynet Fusion]]", Fusion Summoning a Cyberse Fusion monster from his Extra Deck, using monsters from his hand or field as Fusion Material. As Playmaker controls no monsters in the Extra Monster Zone, he can banish a Cyberse Link Monster from his GY as Fusion Material. He fuses "Clock Wyvern" and "Linkuriboh" from his field and banishes "Zombie Prosaber" from his GY to Fusion Summon "[[Cyberse Clock Dragon (anime)|Cyberse Clock Dragon]]" (2500/2000) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Cyberse Clock Dragon" was Fusion Summoned, Playmaker activates its effect, sending cards from the top of his Deck equal to the combined Link Ratings of the materials used for its Fusion Summon,  and until the end of the next turn, it gains 1000 ATK for each card sent to the GY by this effect but Playmaker's other monsters cannot attack. The combined Link Ratings of the Link-1 "Linkuriboh" and Link-1 "Zombie Prosaber" are two, so Playmaker sends the top two cards of his deck ("[[Cyberse Wizard (anime)|Cyberse Wizard]]" and an unknown card) to the GY ("Cyberse Clock Dragon": 2500 → 4500 ATK).

"Cyberse Clock Dragon" attacks "Crystal Heart". While "Invalid Dolmen" is on the field, it effect prevents other monsters Earth controls from being targeted for attacks, so "Cyberse Clock Dragon" attacks and destroys "Invalid Dolmen" (Earth: 4000 → 2900 LP). As "Invalid Dolmen" was destroyed, Earth activates its effect, negating the effects of all face-up cards Playmaker controls. The effects of "Cyberse Clock Dragon" are negated ("Cyberse Clock Dragon": 4500 → 2500 ATK).

'''<u>Turn 6: Earth</u>'''<br />
Earth activates the effect of "Crystal Heart", Special Summoning "Invalid Dolmen" (2800/←↑→) from his GY to the zone its bottom-center Link Arrow points to, then placing a G Golem Counter on "Crystal Heart" ("Crystal Heart": 1 → 2 G Golem Counters) ("Invalid Dolmen": 2800 → 4000 ATK). "Invalid Dolmen" attacks and destroys "Cyberse Clock Dragon" (Playmaker: 1600 → 100 LP). As "Crystal Heart" has two or more G Golem Counters, its effect allows monsters co-linked to it to attack twice during each Battle Phase this turn. "Invalid Dolmen" attacks Playmaker directly. As Earth's monster attacked directly while Playmaker has three or more Cyberse monsters in his GY, he activates his face-down Quick-Play Spell Card "[[Spool Code (anime)|Spool Code]]", negating the attack and Special Summoning up to three "[[Spool Token (anime)|Spool Tokens]]" (0/0) in Defense Position, but they cannot be Tributed for a Tribute Summon. Earth Sets two cards.
