He Set Dreaming Town.
Dudley Normal Summoned Snake-Eyes Poplar, adding Divine Temple of the Snake-Eye to his hand. He played the Divine Temple, placing Snake-Eye Ash in his Spell & Trap Card Zone. He sent Ash to the Graveyard to Special Summon Diabellstar the Black Witch from his hand. Diabellstar Set WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils on the field. He used Poplar to Link Summon Linkuriboh, and Poplar’s effect let him place Poplar in his back row. He played Original Sinful Spoils – Snake-Eye, sending Poplar to the Graveyard to Special Summon Legendary Fire King Ponix. Ponix added Fire King Sanctuary to his hand. Randolph flipped Dreaming Town to Normal Summon Robina. Robina searched for Floowandereeze & Toccan, and Eglen returned to his hand. He Normal Summoned Eglen, and it was hit by another Ash Blossom! Dudley continued, using all his monsters to Link Summon Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames. Princess revived Snake-Eye Ash, which added Poplar to his hand. He Special Summoned the Poplar with its effect. He used Ash to send itself and Divine Temple to the Graveyard and Special Summon Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon from his Deck. Randolph knew this was going to lead to his demise, and saved everyone the time. He conceded this Duel.
Duel 2
Randolph began this time with Dimensional Fissure, Eglen, Robina, Harpie’s Feather Storm, and Advent. He played Dimensional Fissure, then Eglen. Dudley had Ash Blossom once more, negating Eglen. Randolph used Advent to banish Eglen, gaining 500 Life Points and adding Floowandereeze and the Magnificent Map to his hand. He played the Map, using it to banish Empen from the Deck. He Normal Summoned Robina, returning Eglen to his hand. Robina searched for Toccan. He Normal Summoned Toccan and got back Empen, then Tribute Summoned Empen. He returned Robina to his hand, and Empen searched for Dreaming Town. He Set Dreaming Town and Harpie’s Feather Storm.
Dudley Normal Summoned Droll & Lock Bird. Randolph used Map to Normal Summon Eglen, and finally, it wasn’t negated! Randolph searched for Raiza the Mega Monarch. He Normal Summoned Robina, adding Floowandereeze & Stri to his hand, and returned Toccan as well. He Tributed Robina and Eglen for Mega Raiza. It sent Dudley’s Droll to the top of the Deck, as well as Randolph’s own Advent in the Graveyard, and finally Raiza returned itself to the hand. Dudley had nothing to make a followup, especially with Raiza about to be coming down repeatedly. We’re moving swiftly to a third Duel!
Duel 3
Dudley began the final Duel with WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils in his Draw Phase, getting Diabellstar the Black Witch. He then Special Summoned Diabellstar, sending Circle of the Fire Kings to the Graveyard. Diabellstar put Original Sinful Spoils – Snake-Eye on the field. He activated it, sending Diabellstar away to Special Summon Snake-Eye Ash. Ash’s effect added Legendary Fire King Ponix to his hand. He Normal Summoned Ponix to find Fire King Sanctuary. He activated WANTED’s effect in the Graveyard, putting Original Sinful Spoils on the bottom of his Deck to draw a new card. He played Sanctuary, but did not place Fire King Island with its effect. He used Snake-Eye Ash’s effect, sending itself and Sanctuary to the Graveyard to Special Summon Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon. He played Fire King Island from his hand. He used Ponix to Link Summon Linkuriboh. Then he used Island to destroy Fire King High Avatar Kirin in his hand, searching for Sacred Fire King Garunix. Kirin revived Ponix, and Garunix was Special Summoned from the hand. Garunix destroyed Fire King Avatar Arvata from the Deck, which then revived Kirin. He used Kirin and Garunix to Link Summon Duelittle Chimera. He then used Chimera and Linkuriboh to Link Summon Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames. Princess revived Arvata. Then he used Princess and Arvata to Link Summon Salamangreat Sunlight Wolf. He Tributed Ponix to revive Linkuriboh, triggering Wolf’s effect to return Garunix to his hand.

Randolph played Map, banishing Stri from the Deck, and Normal Summoned Robina. He couldn’t use Robina’s effect but put Stri in his hand. Dudley used Flamberge to Special Summon Arvata from the back row. Randolph continued, Normal Summoing Stri to banish Ponix from the Graveyard, but Dudley had Infinite Impermanence. Randolph used Triple Tactics Thrust to Set Dreaming Town on the field. He also Set Pot of Duality. Before the Main Phase ended, Dudley activated Fire King High Avatar Kirin in his hand. He Special Summoned it by destroying Arvata. That let him use Arvata to revive Duelittle Chimera, as well as Special Summon Garunix from his hand. Garunix destroyed another Kirin from the Deck.

Dudley used Flamberge to place Robina into the Spell & Trap Card Zone. He tried moving to the Battle Phase, and Randolph flipped Dreaming Town. He Normal Summoned Robina, adding Eglen to the hand, and returning Stri. He Normal Summoned Stri and tried using the effect, but Dudley used Arvata to negate it, destroying his Kirin as well.
