Duel One

 

Hoang won the die roll and chose to go first.

 

Hoang

 

He opened up with Kozmo Goodwitch, Kozmotown, Emergency Teleport, Effect Veiler, and Kozmo Tincan. He activated Kozmotown and then activated its effect to shuffle Goodwitch into his Deck and draw Kozmo Strawman. He Summoned Tincan and then used its effect in his End Phase by paying 500 Life Points. He selected Kozmo Dark Eclipser, Kozmo Forerunner, and Kozmo Dark Destroyer from his Deck, and randomly added the Forerunner to his hand. He sent the Dark Eclipser and Dark Destroyer to his Graveyard and play passed to Burkett.

 

Burkett activated Kozmotown and used its effect to shuffle Kozmo Sliprider and Kozmo Forerunner from his hand into his Deck and draw 2 cards. He Summoned Kozmo Farmgirl and then attacked Tincan; but Hoang banished his Tincan to Special Summon Kozmo Forerunner from his hand! Burkett banished his Farmgirl from the field to Special Summon Kozmo Sliprider from his hand with her effect, and then used Sliprider’s effect to destroy his own Kozmotown. He used his Kozmotown’s effect to add Kozmojo from his Deck to his hand. He activated Instant Fusion in Main Phase 2, paying 1000 Life Points to Special Summon Panzer Dragon from his Extra Deck. He combined Panzer Dragon with Sliprider to Xyz Summon Cyber Dragon Nova and then used it as an Xyz Material to Xyz Summon Cyber Dragon Infinity. He Set 2 cards to his back row and then entered his End Phase. In his End Phase, he activated Emergency Teleport to Special Summon Tincan from his Deck, and activated its effect by paying 500 Life Points to select Dark Eclipser, Dark Destroyer, and Forerunner from his Deck. He randomly added the Dark Eclipser to his hand and sent the other 2 cards to his Graveyard. He banished his Tincan to Special Summon Dark Eclipser from his hand before passing his turn.

 

Hoang drew a card and then attempted to gain 1000 Life Points with Forerunner’s effect in his Standby Phase; but Burkett activated Solemn Strike to negate the effect and destroy Forerunner. Hoang banished his Forerunner from the Graveyard to Special Summon Sliprider and used Sliprider’s effect to try to destroy Burkett’s back row; but Burkett detached an Xyz Material from Cyber Dragon Infinity to negate the effect and destroy Sliprider. Hoang banished Sliprider and Special Summoned Goodwitch from his Deck. Hoang added his banished Sliprider to his hand with Kozmotown and lost 500 Life Points. Next, he paid 500 Life Points to put Cyber Dragon Infinity face-down with Goodwitch’s effect. He used Kozmotown to shuffle Strawman from his hand into his Deck and draw Goodwitch. He Normal Summoned Goodwitch and then activated Emergency Teleport, Special Summoning Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit from his Deck! He Tuned Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit with Goodwitch to Xyz Summon Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon! Burkett activated Kozmojo in his Main Phase to banish the Goodwitch and destroy his own Dark Eclipser, and then used his Dark Eclipser’s effect to add Strawman from his Deck to his hand. Odd-Eyes attacked and destroyed Burkett’s face-down Cyber Dragon Infinity. Hoang activated Emergency Teleport next, still in his Battle Phase, and Special Summoned Kozmo Farmgirl. He attacked directly with Farmgirl and then paid 500 Life Points to activate her effect and add Kozmoll Wickedwitch to his hand. He banished Farmgirl to Special Summon his Wickedwitch from his hand and then attacked directly with Wickedwitch. He banished Wickedwitch next, in order to Special Summon Sliprider from his hand, and attacked directly with Sliprider to finish Burkett off!

 

Odd Rider in Town

 

Hoang overcomes Burkett’s Cyber Dragon Infinity to take a quick victory in Duel 1 after drawing 2 copies of Emergency Teleport! Burkett will be going first in Duel 2!

 

Duel Two

 

Burkett started off Duel 1 by Summoning Kozmo Tincan.

 

Burkett

 

He entered his End Phase and activated its effect to reveal Kozmo Dark Destroyer, Kozmo Dark Eclipser, and Kozmo Forerunner from his Deck. Burkett randomly added the Dark Destroyer to his hand and sent the remaining 2 cards into his Graveyard.

 

Hoang opened up Duel 2 with Kozmo Tincan, Call of the Haunted, Kozmoll Wickedwitch, Kozmotown, Kozmo Strawman, and Artifact Sanctum. He activated Kozmotown and used its effect to shuffle a Strawman and a Wickedwitch from his hand into his Deck, drawing Kozmo Forerunner and Bottomless Trap Hole. He Summoned Tincan and then Set all 3 of his Trap Cards to his back row. Burkett discarded Effect Veiler to negate Hoang’s Tincan’s effect when Hoang entered Main Phase 2, and in his End Phase, Burkett used his own Tincan’s effect to randomly add another Dark Destroyer to his hand. He banished his Tincan to Special Summon Sliprider, and used Sliprider’s effect to destroy Hoang’s face-down Bottomless Trap Hole.

 

Burkett Normal Summoned Kozmoll Wickedwitch and then attacked Tincan with Sliprider. Hoang banished his Tincan to Special Summon Kozmo Forerunner from his hand. Next, Burkett banished his Wickedwitch to Special Summon Dark Destroyer from his hand. Dark Destroyer attacked and destroyed Forerunner, and Hoang banished Forerunner from his Graveyard to Special Summon Tincan from his Deck in Defense Position. Burkett activated Emergency Teleport next, Special Summoning Kozmo Farmgirl from his Deck. Farmgirl attacked Tincan, and Hoang activated Artifact Sanctum! He Special Summoned Artifact Moralltach from his Deck and activated its effect, and Burkett Chained Farmgirl’s effect to Special Summon Dark Destroyer from his hand! Moralltach’s effect destroyed Burkett’s Dark Destroyer, and then Dark Destroyer’s effect destroyed Burkett’s own Sliprider. Burkett Special Summoned Kozmo Farmgirl and Kozmo Strawman from his Deck with the effects of his Dark Destroyer and his Sliprider. Next, Farmgirl attacked Tincan, destroying it in battle. In Main Phase 2, Hoang paid 500 Life Points to activate Strawman’s effect and Special Summon Dark Destroyer. It was destroyed in the End Phase, and Burkett activated its effect to banish it and Special Summon Kozmoll Wickedwitch from his Deck in Defense Position. Hoang also activated Call of the Haunted in the End Phase, Special Summoning Tincan from his Deck. He activated Tincan’s effect and paid 500 Life Points, revealing Kozmo Dark Destroyer, Kozmo Sliprider, and Kozmo Strawman from his Deck. He randomly added Dark Destroyer to his hand and sent the remaining 2 cards to his Graveyard. Next, Hoang banished his Tincan to Special Summon Dark Destroyer from his hand, and used its effect to destroy Burkett’s Farmgirl.

 

Hoang added Tincan to his hand in Main Phase 1 with Kozmotown’s effect by giving up 100 Life Points, and then activated the effect of his Kozmotown to shuffle it into his Deck and draw 1 card. He drew Cyber Dragon! Dark Destroyer attacked Wickedwitch next, and Burkett gave up 1000 Life Points to keep his Wickedwitch on the field. In Main Phase 2, Hoang Tributed his Moralltach to Summon Cyber Dragon and fused his Cyber Dragon with Burkett’s Dark Destroyer to Summon Chimeratech Fortress Dragon with 2000 ATK!

 

Burkett drew a card and passed his turn.

 

Hoang drew Emergency Teleport! He gave up 100 Life Points to add Kozmo Tincan from his Banished Zone to his hand with the effect of Kozmotown and then shuffled it back into his Deck to draw Call of the Haunted. Next, he activated Emergency Teleport to Special Summon Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit from his Deck. He attacked with Chimeratech Fortress Dragon to destroy Kozmollwitch, and Burkett wisely chose not to activate his Kozmollwitch’s effect to attempt to keep it on the field, since Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit was on the field, ready to destroy it. Next, Hoang attacked directly with Dark Destroyer to drop Burkett down to 2500 Life Points.

 

Burkett drew a card on his next turn and conceded, unable to make a play.

Tony Hoang takes a 2-0 victory in the Kozmo Mirror-Match to advance with a 2-0 record!
