Roy activated Cyber Emergency to add Cyber Dragon Nachster from his Deck to his hand. He discarded Cyber Dragon Herz to Special Summon Cyber Dragon Nachster from his hand. Herz’s effect let Roy add Cyber Dragon from his Deck to his hand. (He initially tried to add Cyber Dragon Core from his Deck to his hand which is not named Cyber Dragon while in the Deck. This is an infraction, Procedural Error – Minor and was giving the penalty of a Warning. Play was rewound, corrected and resumed.) Roy Normal Summoned Cyber Dragon Core and activated its effect and Roy chained Gozen Match. Roy resolved Core’s effect, adding Cyber Repair Plant from his Deck to his hand. He passed without attacking the face-down monster.
Lewis drew Inspector Boarder. He Flip Summoned Dupe Frog. In the Battle Phase, he crashed into Roy’s Cyber Dragon Nachster sending Lewis to 7900 LP and used Dupe Frog’s Graveyard effect to add Swap Frog from his Deck to his hand. In Main Phase 2, Lewis Normal Summoned Inspector Boarder and passed.
Roy drew and activated Twin Twisters, discarding Orcust Knightmare to destroy Lewis’s Gozen Match and Set card which Lewis chained: Paleozoic Dinomischus which banished Roy’s Cyber Dragon Nachster.

With a Link Monster on the field, each player could activate 1 monster effect through Inspector Boarder’s effect. Roy activated Danger! Nessie! from hand, and Lewis hit Roy’s Cyber Dragon Core. Danger! Nessie! came down and Roy drew a card.
Lewis drew Paleozoic Canadia for turn. In the Standby Phase, Roy activated Almiraj’s effect, tributing it to protect Danger! Nessie! from card effects this turn. Lewis Set Imperial Order and passed.
Roy Tributed Danger! Nessie! to Tribute Summon Cyber Dragon. He sent it and Lewis’s Inspector Boarder to Special Summon Chimeratech Fortress Dragon. Lewis responded to that by activated Paleozoic Canadia to turn the Fusion Monster face-down. Roy chained Twin Twisters, discarding Danger! Nessie! to destroy Lewis’s Paleozoic Canadia and Set card which Lewis chained: Infinite Impermanence which negated Fortresses effect which wouldn’t do anything since Fortress was about to be turned face-down but it did let Lewis chain the Paleozoic Dinomischus in the Graveyard to Special Summon it. Danger! Nessie!’s Graveyard effect let Roy add Danger!? Tsuchinoko? from his Deck to his hand. Then Roy activated Danger!? Tsuchinoko?’s effect but Lewis hit it, so Danger!? Tsuchinoko? was discarded and then came out to the field. Roy then activated Orcust Knightmare form the Graveyard, banishing it to send Orcust Harp Horror to the Graveyard. Orcust Harp Horror was banished to Special Summon Orcust Cymbal Skeleton from the Deck.
Lewis drew Demise of the Land adding to his hand of Swap Frog. He Normal Summoned the frog and used its effect to send Ronintoadin from the Deck to the Graveyard.

Duel 3
Roy elected to go first. He Normal Summoned Cyber Dragon Core and used its effect to add Cyber Repair Plant from his Deck to his hand. He sent Core to the Graveyard to Link Summon Salamangreat Almiraj. He then activated Cyber Repair Plant to add Galaxy Soldier from his Deck to his hand. Galaxy Soldier’s effect was activated, discarding Cyber Dragon Nachster. He used the Soldier’s effect to add another Galaxy Soldier to his hand. He then discarded Cyber Dragon to Special Summon the second one. Both monsters went on top of each other to Xyz Summon Cyber Dragon Nova and that prompted Lewis to activate Nibiru, the Primal Being to Tribute Roy’s field to Special Summon itself from Lewis’s hand! Because it left the field from his opponent’s card effect, Roy activated Cyber Dragon Nova’s Graveyard effect which let Roy Special Summon Chimeratech Rampage Dragon from the Extra Deck! He activated Rampage Dragon’s effect, sending Cyber Dragon Core and Cyber Dragon Herz from his Deck to the Graveyard. He used Herz’s effect to add Cyber Dragon Nachster from his Deck to his hand. At this point, the Feature Match Judge pointed out that Cyber Dragon Nachster’s name is not Cyber Dragon in the Deck. This is a Procedural Error – Minor, which is normally a Warning, but since this was the second occurrence of this infraction, the Feature Match judge consulted with one of the admin Judges who upgraded the penalty from a Warning to a Game Loss.
An unfortunate end to the match, but Jamone Lewis moves on with a 2-0 record with Frogs.
