Next, he flipped the Resort and activated its effect to add SPYRAL Gear – Drone to his hand. He activated its effect to rearrange the top 3 cards of Short’s Deck and then Special Summoned SPYRAL Super Agent from his hand by choosing “Spell” and revealing Terraforming on the top of Short’s Deck. He combined his 2 monsters to Link Summon SPYRAL Double Helix and then used its effect to Special Summon SPYRAL Master Plan to his field. He used Master Plan’s effect to add SPYRAL MISSION – Rescue to his hand and then combined Master Plan with Double Helix to Link Summon Decode Talker. He used Master Plan’s effect to add SPYRAL Resort and SPYRAL Sleeper to his hand and then Special Summoned Sleeper linked to Decode Talker by banishing Double Helix, Master Plan, and Drone from his Graveyard. He Set a card to his back row and then sent Super Agent from his Graveyard back to his Deck with the effect of his Resort.

 

Short opened up with Machine Duplication, SPYRAL GEAR – Big Red, SPYRAL Master Plan, and 2 copies of SPYRAL Quik-Fix. He drew Terraforming and then Normal Summoned Quik-Fix, activating its effect to add SPYRAL GEAR – Last Resort to his hand. He tried equipping it to his Quik-Fix, but Levine Chained Rescue and activated Sleeper’s effect to destroy the Rescue and Short’s Last Resort. Next, Levine used Machine Duplication to Special Summon a Quik-Fix and added a Drone to his hand. Next, he Link Summoned Double Helix and then discarded his Drone to Special Summon Quik-Fix from the Graveyard, using its effect to add another Drone to his hand. He discarded Master Plan to Special Summon another Quik-Fix from his Graveyard and then used its effect to add a Drone from his Deck to his hand. He activated SPYRAL GEAR – Big Red to Special Summon Drone from his Graveyard and used Drone’s effect to rearrange the top 3 cards of Levine’s Deck. He activated Double Helix’s effect calling “Monster” next, revealing PSY-Framegear Gamma on top of Levine’s Deck and adding a Sleeper to his hand. He combined 2 Quik-Fixes to Xyz Summon Lyrilusc – Recital Starling and increase the ATK of Double Helix. Next, he detached an Xyz Material from it to add D.D. Crow to his hand and discarded a Quik-Fix to Special Summon another one from his Graveyard. He discarded another Drone to Special Summon another Quik-Fix, and then used its effect to add SPYRAL GEAR – Utility Wire to his hand. He banished 3 SPYRALs from his Graveyard to Special Summon SPYRAL Sleeper to his field and then attacked Decode Talker with Lyrilusc, dropping both Duelists down to 4700 Life Points. Next, Double Helix attacked Levine’s Double Helix, and Short used the effect of his Drone to increase his Double Helix’s ATK by 1500. Levine’s Helix was destroyed, and Levine dropped to 4000 Life Points. Short destroyed his own Quik-Fix to destroy Levine’s Resort, and then discarded a Drone to Special Summon a Quik-Fix from his Graveyard in Main Phase 2. He combined his 2 Quik-Fixes to Xyz Summon Sylvan Princessprite to his field and then activated Terraforming to add SPYRAL Resort to his hand. He used Princessprite’s effect to excavate One for One from the top of his Deck and add it to his hand. He Set Utility Wire and then ended his turn.

 

Levine used his Sleeper’s effect to destroy his own Sleeper along with Short’s Sleeper and Oracle of Zefra. Short’s Sleeper wiped his field, and he Special Summoned Double Helix to his Main Monster Zone with its effect. Next, Levine activated SPYRAL Resort and used its effect to add Super Agent to his hand.  He activated its effect to try to Special Summon it by declaring “Monster”, but revealed Dragon Ravine from the top of Short’s Deck, failing to Special Summon it. He Normal Summoned the Agent instead, and attacked Double Helix, destroying both monsters. Next, he banished SPYRAL MISSION – Rescue from his Graveyard to Special Summon Super Agent from his Graveyard and attacked directly with it.

 

Short drew Dragon Ravine and activated SPYRAL Resort. He used its effect to add a Super Agent to his hand and then used its effect declaring “Monster”. He revealed Quik-Fix from the top of Levine’s Deck, and after Short Special Summoned the Super Agent, Levine immediately conceded.

Duel Two

 

Levine activated One for One, sending a Super Agent to the Graveyard to try to Special Summon from his Deck, but Short stopped it by discarding Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring from his hand! Next, Levine Normal Summoned Quik-Fix and used its effect to add Big Red to his hand. He activated Set Rotation to Set Resort on his own field and Oracle of Zefra on Short’s field, and then flipped his Resort and used its effect to add Super Agent to his hand. He tried to Special Summon it by declaring “Monster”, but revealed Terraforming on Short’s Deck. He used Big Red to Special Summon Super Agent from the Graveyard next, and then combined his monsters to Link Summon SPYRAL Double Helix. He used his Double Helix’s effect to declare “Spells” and reveal Terraforming from the top of Short’s Deck, and then Short conceded, unable to use his Evenly Matched or Field Spells due to Levine’s first-turn Set Rotation.
