Duel One

Powell won the die roll and chose to go first.

He opened up with Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Galaxy Knight, Galaxy Expedition, Pot of Desires, and Trade-In. He activated Trade-In and discarded Galaxy Knight to draw Photon Orbital and Called by the Grave. Next, he used Pot of Desires to banish the top 10 cards of his Deck face-down and draw Galaxy Wizard and Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon. He Summoned the Wizard and then used the effect of the Photon Orbital in his hand to equip it to Galaxy Wizard. Then, he used the effect of his Orbital to send it to the Graveyard and add a Galaxy Soldier from his Deck to his hand. He discarded Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon from his hand to Special Summon Galaxy Soldier and used the Soldier’s effect to add Galaxy Knight from his Deck to his hand. Next, he activated the effect of Galaxy Wizard to increase its Level by 4. He activated Galaxy Expedition next, allowing him to Special Summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon from his Deck in Defense Position. He then combined Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and Galaxy Wizard to Xyz Summon Number 90: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord in Defense Position! He Set Called by the Grave before passing his turn.

Sarver activated Prank-Kids Place and tried to use its effect to search for a Prank-Kids monster, but Powell discarded Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring to negate the effect.

He activated Prank-Kids Place next, and used its effect to add Prank-Kids Dropsies from his Deck to his hand. He Normal Summoned Prank-Kids Rocksies and combined his 2 monsters to Link Summon Prank-Kids Dodo-Doodle-Doo. He banished Prank-Kids Fansies from his hand with the effect of Rocksies in order to draw a card and Special Summon Prank-Kids Lampies.

Powell opened up Duel 2 with Reinforcement of the Army, Photon Sanctuary, Galaxy Wizard, Galaxy Knight, and Photon Vanisher. He drew another Photon Sanctuary for his turn, and then Sarver used Bow-Wow-Bark’s effect to Tribute it, add Rocksies and Fansies from his Graveyard to his hand, and protect all of his Prank-Kids monsters from destruction by card effects. Powell activated Photon Sanctuary to Special Summon 2 Photon Tokens to his field. He activated Reinforcement of the Army next, adding Photon Thrasher to his hand. Then, he Special Summoned Photon Vanisher and used its effect to add Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon from his Deck to his hand. He Tributed his two Photon Tokens to Summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon. In his Main Phase, Sarver activated Prank-Kids Pandemonium to fuse his 3 Prank-Kids together and Summon Prank-Kids Battle Butler, and used the effects of his 3 Prank-Kids that he fused together. After a couple of Life Points changes and after 3 Prank-Kids were Special Summoned from the Deck, Sarver Tributed Battle Butler to destroy all monsters on Powell’s field! Powell then Special Summoned Photon Thrasher. He activated Photon Sanctuary, but lost it to Toadally Awesome’s effect. Then, Powell Normal Summoned Galaxy Knight and used its effect to Special Summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon; but that prompted Sarver to flip Dimensional Barrier to prevent all Xyz Summons! Powell Link Summoned Galaxy-Eyes Solflare Dragon instead and passed his turn.

Sarver Link Summoned Prank-Kids Dodo-Doodle-Doo and Powell destroyed it with Solflare Dragon’s effect. After a flurry of plays, Powell had Link Summoned Prank-Kids Rip-Roarin-Roaster.

He used Orbital’s effect to send it to the Graveyard and add Photon Vanisher from his Deck to his hand. He activated Photon Sanctuary to Special Summon 2 Photon Tokens to his field and then used both Tokens to Link Summon Galaxy-Eyes Solflare Dragon. He used its effect to return Photon Orbital from his Graveyard to his hand.
