Duel One

Gonzalez activated Foolish Burial Goods to send Sky Striker Mobilize – Engage! from his Deck to his Graveyard and then Summoned Sky Striker Ace – Raye.

He used it to Link Summon Sky Striker Ace – Kagari and then activated Kagari’s effect to return the Engage in his Graveyard to his hand. He activated the Engage to add Sky Striker Mecha – Widow Anchor to his hand, prompting Arroyo to send Droll & Lock Bird from his hand to his Graveyard to prevent Gonzalez from adding any other cards from his Deck to his hand during the turn. Gonzalez Set 2 cards to his back row before passing.

Arroyo drew a card and then had Terraforming, Megalosmasher X, Anti-Spell Fragrance, Souleating Oviraptor, and Paleozoic Marrella in his hand. He activated Terraforming to add Lost World to his hand and then activated Lost World. He Normal Summoned Megalosmasher X and used Lost World to give a Jurraegg Token to Gonzalez. He attacked the Token and then used Lost World to send Babycerasaurus from his Deck to his Graveyard instead of destroying it. He used his Babycerasaurus’s effect to Special Summon Oviraptor from his Deck, and added Miscellaneousaurus from his Deck to his hand with his Oviraptor’s effect. Oviraptor attacked and destroyed Kagari, and then Arroyo used the effect of the Raye in his Graveyard to Special Summon it to his field. He then used the effect of his Oviraptor to destroy Gonzalez’s Jurraegg Token and Special Summon Babycersaurus from his Graveyard. Arroyo combined his Megalosmasher X and Oviraptor to Xyz Summon Tornado Dragon, and Arroyo used Raye’s effect to Tribute it and Special Summon a monster. Arroyo Chained the effect of Tornado Dragon, targeting a face-down Widow Anchor, and then Gonzalez Chained the Widow Anchor, targeting Tornado Dragon. Arroyo Special Summoned Sky Striker Ace – Shizuku from his Extra Deck when the Chain resolved. Arroyo Set 2 cards to his back row and ended his turn. In the End Phase, Gonzalez added Sky Striker Mecha Modules – Multirole to his hand with the effect of Shizuku.

Gonzalez drew a card and Arroyo flipped Anti-Spell Fragrance to slow him down. Gonzalez flipped a Widow Anchor to negate Tornado Dragon’s effect and take control of it, and then combined Tornado Dragon with Shizuku to Link Summon Knightmare Phoenix. He used its effect by discarding Droll & Lock Bird to try to destroy Anti-Spell Fragrance, and Arroyo Chained Paleozoic Marrella to send Survival’s End from his Deck to his Graveyard. Anti-Spell Fragrance was destroyed, and Gonzalez activated Sky Striker Mecha Modules – Multirole! Arroyo banished Survival’s End from his Graveyard to destroy Multirole and his own Babycerasaurus. He used Babycerasaurus’s effect to Special Summon Oviraptor to his field and used his Oviraptor’s effect to add Ultimate Conductor Tyranno to his hand. Gonzalez continued with his turn by activating Sky Striker Maneuver – Afterburners!, destroying Oviraptor and Lost World. He attacked directly with Knightmare Phoenix before ending his turn.

Arroyo Summoned Souleating Oviraptor, and Gonzalez used Effect Veiler; but Arroyo Chained Miscellaneousaurus from his hand, protecting the Ovirpator’s effect and prompting Gonzalez to concede the Duel.
