## Featured Duel: Jack Atlas (ARC-V) vs. Enemy

**Turn 1: Enemy**

Enemy draws "Archfiend Interceptor" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1400/1600) in Attack Position. Enemy Sets three cards.

**Turn 2: Jack**

Jack draws. As Jack controls no monsters, he Special Summons "Red Gargoyle" (1200/1400) from his hand via its own effect. He Normal Summons "Red Resonator" (600/200). Jack activates the effect of "Gargoyle", allowing him to double the Level of a monster he controls. He doubles the Level of "Resonator". Jack tunes the Level 4 "Gargoyle" with the Level 4 Tuner monster "Red Resonator" to Synchro Summon "Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend" (3000/2000) in Attack Position. "Scarlight" attacks "Archfiend Interceptor". This activates the effect of "Archfiend Interceptor", inflicting 500 damage to Jack (Jack 4000 → 3500). Enemy activates his face-down "Spacegate". Now for each of Jack's monsters that attacked during Jack's Battle Phase, Jack can place one Gate Counter on "Spacegate". During Enemy's Main Phase, he can send "Spacegate" to the Graveyard and Special Summon one monster from his hand whose Level is equal to or lower than the number of Gate Counters on "Spacegate". "Scarlight" then destroys "Archfiend Interceptor" (Enemy: 4000 → 2400 LP).

**Turn 3: Enemy**

Enemy draws. Since Jack controls monsters, but Enemy doesn't, he Special Summons "Vice Dragon" from his hand in Attack Position by halving its original ATK and DEF (2000 → 1000/2400 → 1200). Enemy then Normal Summons "Flare Resonator" (300/1300) in Attack Position. He then tunes "Vice Dragon" with "Flare Resonator" in order to Synchro Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend" in Attack Position. Since "Flare Resonator" was used as a Synchro Material Monster for the Synchro Summon of Enemy's "Red Dragon Archfiend", it gains 300 ATK (Enemy's "Red Dragon Archfiend": 3000 → 3300/2000).

"Red Dragon Archfiend" attacks "Scarlight", Jack activates his face-down "King Scarlet", preventing the destruction of "Scarlight" and Special Summoning "King Scarlet" (0/0) as a monster in Defense Position (Jack: 3500 → 3200 LP).

**Turn 4: Jack**

Jack draws. "Scarlight" attacks "Red Dragon Archfiend". Jack activates the effect of "Brutal Red" in his hand, sending it to the Graveyard as a "Red" monster would be destroyed. This turn, it cannot be destroyed and it gains 1000 ATK. Jack targets "Scarlight" (3000 → 4000). "Scarlight" then destroys "Red Dragon Archfiend" (Enemy: 2400 → 1700 LP).

**Turn 5: Enemy**

Enemy draws.

* Note that Enemy calls this turn "The King's Ultimate Divine Play".

Enemy draws. During the Standby Phase, the effect of "Speed World 2" activates (Enemy's SPC: 3 → 4; Jack's SPC: 3 → 4). Since Jack controls monsters, but Enemy doesn't, he Normal Summons "Big Piece Golem" (2100/0) in Attack Position. He then activates "Speed Spell - Angel Baton" to draw two cards and send "Small Piece Golem" from his hand to the Graveyard. Enemy then activates his face-down "Powerful Rebirth" in order to revive "Small Piece Golem" in Attack Position with its ATK and DEF increased by 100 and its Level increased by one (1100 → 1200/0 → 100).

Since Enemy summoned "Small Piece Golem" while he controlled "Big Piece Golem", he activates the effect of "Small Piece Golem" in order to Special Summon "Medium Piece Golem" (1600/0) from his Deck in Attack Position with its effects negated.

Enemy sends "Spacegate to the Graveyard in order to Special Summon "Dark Tinker" (1000/1300) in Attack Position. Enemy then tunes "Big Piece Golem" with "Synchro Magnet" in order to Synchro Summon another "Red Dragon Archfiend" (3000/2000) in Attack Position. Jack then activates "Red Dragon Vase" to draw two cards. Enemy sends Jack's "King Scarlet" to the Graveyard in order to Special Summon "Trap Eater" ([1]4/1900/1600) in Attack Position. Since Enemy successfully performed a Synchro Summon, he Special Summons "Synchro Magnet" (1000/600) from his hand in Attack Position. Enemy tunes "Small Piece Golem" with "Trap Eater" in order to Synchro Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend" (3000/2000) in Attack Position.

Enemy then activates his face-down "Reincarnation Ring" to Tribute his "Medium Piece Golem" and revive "Red Dragon Archfiend" (3000/2000) in Attack Position (as its Level is twice the Level of "Medium Piece Golem").

Enemy activates "Speed Spell - Half Seize" to halve the ATK of "Scarlight" until the End Phase ("Scarlight": 3000 → 1500/2000) and increase his LP by the same amount (Enemy: 1700 → 3200 LP). One of his "Red Dragon Archfiends" attacks "Scarlight". As his opponent declared an attack, Jack activates the effect of the "Red Mirror" in his hand, sending it to the Graveyard to add a "Red" monster from his Graveyard to his hand. He adds "Red Warg". Jack activates the effect of "Brutal Red" in his hand, sending it to the Graveyard as a "Red" monster would be destroyed. This turn, it cannot be destroyed and it gains 1000 ATK. Jack targets "Scarlight" (1500 → 2500). The attack continues (Jack: 3200 → 2700 LP). The other "Red Dragon Archfiends" attack "Scarlight" (Jack: 2700 → 2200 → 1700).

**Turn 6: Jack**

Jack draws. Jack activates "Red Reborn", allowing him to Special Summon a "Red" monster from his Graveyard. Jack Special Summons "Red Mirror" (0/0). Jack Normal Summons "Double Resonator" (0/0). As it was Special Summoned, Jack activates its effect, allowing him to treat a monster he controls as a Tuner monster this turn. He targets "Brutal Red". Jack Double Tunes the Level 1 "Double Resonator" and "Red Mirror" with the Level 8 "Scarlight" to Synchro Summon "Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend" (3500/3000) in Attack Position. Jack activates its effect, destroying all other cards on the field. He destroys all three "Red Dragon Archfiend", "Reincarnation Ring" and "Power Rebirth". "Tyrant" attacks directly (Enemy: 3200 → 0 LP).
