Flores is here to defend the title of “Ultimate Duelist”, while YCS winner Cristian Urena is here to challenge it. It’s SPYRALs against SPYRALs in this Round 4 Feature Match. Let’s Duel!
Duel One
Urena opened up with SPYRAL GEAR – Utility Wire, SPYRAL GEAR – Drone, and 3 copies of SPYRAL Super Agent.
He Normal Summoned Drone and used its effect to rearrange the top 3 cards of Flores’s Deck, placing a monster on top. He then Special Summoned a Super Agent from his hand by declaring “monster” and combined his 2 monsters to Link Summon SPYRAL Double Helix. He Special Summoned SPYRAL Master Plan from his Deck with its effect and added SPYRAL MISSION – Rescue to his hand with Master Plan’s effect. He Link Summoned Barricadeborg Blocker next and discarded Rescue to activate its effect. He added SPYRAL Resort and SPYRAL Sleeper to his hand with Master Plan’s effect after it hit the Graveyard. He activated Resort and then used its effect to add SPYRAL GEAR – Last Resort to his hand. Next, he banished 3 SPYRAL cards from his Graveyard to Special Summon SPYRAL Sleeper and equipped it with Last Resort. He Set a card to his back row. In the End Phase, SPYRAL Resort was destroyed, and Barricadeborg Blocker returned the Resort to his hand from the Graveyard.
Flores activated Pot of Extravagance, banishing 6 cards from his Extra Deck face-down to draw 2 cards. Next, he activated the effect of the Magicians’ Souls in his hand to send Master Plan from his Deck to his Graveyard and Special Summon the Souls. Urena used Sleeper’s effect to destroy the Souls. Flores activated SPYRAL MISSION – Assault and then Normal Summoned SPYRAL Tough. Urena banished Rescue from his Graveyard to Special Summon a Super Agent from his Graveyard. Then he activated SPYRAL GEAR – Utility Wire to put Tough on top of Flores’s Deck. Flores Special Summoned Super Agent from his hand by guessing that a monster was on the top of Urena’s Deck, and revealed Magicians’ Souls from the top of Urena’s Deck in the process. He destroyed Last Resort with Super Agent’s effect and drew a card with Assault. Flores used his Super Agent to attack Urena’s, and both were destroyed.
Urena drew Magicians’ Souls and Special Summoned it by sending Master Plan from his Deck to his Graveyard. He activated Resort, and Flores promptly conceded.
Cristian Urena wins the first Duel of the Match! Flores chose to go second in Duel 2!
Duel Two
Urena opened up with SPYRAL GEAR – Big Red, SPYRAL Resort, SPYRAL GEAR – Last Resort, and 2 copies of SPYRAL Master Plan. He activated the Resort and used its effect to add SPYRAL Super Agent to his hand. He activated Super Agent’s effect, guessing that a monster was on top of Flores’s Deck, and then Special Summoned it because the top card was Magicians’ Souls. He Normal Summoned Last Resort and Link Summoned Double Helix next. He used Double Helix’s effect to Special Summon SPYRAL Quik-Fix and then sent Quik-Fix to the Graveyard to Link Summon Linkuriboh. He discarded Master Plan to Special Summon Quik-Fix back from the Graveyard and used its effect to add SPYRAL GEAR – Utility Wire to his hand. He activated Big Red to Special Summon Master Plan. He used Master Plan’s effect to add SPYRAL MISSION – Assault from his Deck to his hand and then sent both of his Link Monsters to the Graveyard to Link Summon Knightmare Unicorn. He used its effect to discard Assault and return Resort to his Deck. He sent Unicorn and Master Plan to the Graveyard to Link Summon Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess, and then used Master Plan’s effect to add SPYRAL Resort and SPYRAL GEAR – Drone to his hand. He banished Assault from his Graveyard to Special Summon Drone from his hand and used its effect to rearrange the top 3 cards of Flores’s Deck. Next, he combined Quik-Fix and Drone to Xyz Summon Lyrilusc – Recital Starling and used its effect to add D.D. Crow from his Deck to his hand by detaching Quik-Fix from it. He activated SPYRAL Resort next, and used its effect to add SPYRAL Sleeper to his hand. He banished 3 SPYRAL cards from his Graveyard to Special Summon Sleeper and then Set a card to his back row before entering his End Phase. In his End Phase, he returned Last Resort from his Graveyard to his Deck with SPYRAL Resort.
Flores activated Terraforming to add Mystic Mine to his hand and activated it.
Urena Chained the effect of Sleeper to destroy SPYRAL Resort and Mystic Mine, but Flores activated another copy of Mystic Mine! Flores Normal Summoned Magicians’ Souls next and used its effect to send SPYRAL MISSION – Assault from his hand to the Graveyard and draw a card. He banished Assault from his Graveyard to Special Summon Master Plan from his hand and then used Master Plan’s effect to add SPYRAL MISSION – Rescue from his Deck to his hand. Flores Link Summoned Barricadeborg Blocker next by sending Master Plan and Souls to the Graveyard, and discarded Rescue from his hand to use its effect. He activated the effect of the Master Plan he sent to the Graveyard in order to add SPYRAL Resort and SPYRAL Sleeper to his hand. He activated Foolish Burial Goods next, sending Big Red from his Deck to his Graveyard. He banished Rescue from his Graveyard to Special Summon Master Plan and then sent Barricadeborg and Master Plan to the Graveyard to Link Summon Knightmare Phoenix co-Linked with Apollousa. He used its effect to discard Last Resort, destroy Urena’s face-down Utility Wire, and draw a card. Next, Flores Special Summoned Sleeper from his hand by banishing 3 SPYRAL cards from his Graveyard. He attacked Urena’s Sleeper with his own, and both Sleepers were destroyed. The effect of Flores’s Sleeper wiped out his field and Special Summoned a Super Agent, but Urena’s Sleeper’s effect couldn’t activate since he had more monsters on the field than Flores, and Mystic Mine was stopping his effects from activating at the time Sleeper was destroyed! Flores conceded, realizing that his own Mystic Mine ruined the play that he had planned.
