## Featured Duel: Flash Sentry vs. Marble Pie

**Turn 1: Marble**

Marble draws. She then Normal Summons "Gaia-Knight Beryllium" (1600/1100) in Attack Position. She then Sets a card.

**Turn 2: Flash**

Flash draws. He then Normal Summons "Magna Defender Arma" (1800/0) in Attack Position. "Arma" attacks "Beryllium", but Marble activates her face-down "Stone Blockade" to Special Summon three "Blockade Tokens" to Flash's side of the field (0/1500) in Defense Position. "Arma" then destroys "Beryllium" (Marble 4000 → 3800). Due to the effect of "Stone Blockade", the "Blockade Tokens" cannot be used for a Fusion Summon, Ritual Summon, Synchro Summon, or Xyz Summon. Also, if they're destroyed, Flash will take 300 damage for each one. He then Sets two cards.

**Turn 3: Marble**

Marble draws. She then activates "Foolish Burial" to send "Stone Statue of the Aztecs" from her Deck to the Graveyard. She then banishes "Beryllium" and "Stone Statue of the Aztecs" from her Graveyard in order to Special Summon "Gaia Knight Emerald" (1600/3600) from her hand in Defense Position via its own effect. Due to the effect of "Emerald", it gains 100 DEF for every banished Rock-Type monster ("Emerald": 1600/3600 → 3800). She then activates "Rock Wrecker". Now once per turn, she can reduce the ATK of a Rock-Type monster she controls by 500 and inflict 500 damage to Flash. She then activates its effect to reduce the ATK of "Emerald" ("Emerald": 1600 > 1100/3800; Flash 4000 → 3500).

**Turn 4: Flash**

Flash draws. He then activates "Bright Bounce Magna Bunny" (Left 2) and "Magna Caster Solaris" (Right 8) in his Pendulum Zones. He then Pendulum Summons "Flash Heart Dragon X" (2500/2000) from his hand in Attack Position. Since "Flash Heart Dragon X" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, banishing "Emerald", but Marble activates the latter's second effect to return the banished "Stone Statue of the Aztecs" to the bottom of her Deck, negate the effect of "Flash Heart Dragon X" and destroy it. He then Tributes "Arma" in order to Tribute Summon "Charge Horn Magna Bull" (2100/2200) in Attack Position. He then activates "Lighspeed" and "Multiversal Spirit". The effects activate in the correct order. First, "Lightspeed" increases the ATK of "Magna Bull" by 1000 ("Magna Bull": 2100 → 3100/2200). Second, "Multiversal Spirit" allows Flash to send "Flash Dragon Accel" from his Extra Deck and increase the ATK of "Magna Bull" by the sent monster's Level x100. "Flash Dragon Accel" is Level 8 ("Magna Bull": 3100 → 3900/2200). Marble finds the Action Trap "Every Rose has its Thorn", which inflicts 500 damage to her (Marble 3800 → 3300). "Magna Bull" attacks and destroys "Emerald".

**Turn 5: Marble**

Marble draws. She then activates "Painful Choice" to pick five cards from her Deck and force Flash to pick one among them to add to her hand while the rest are sent to the Graveyard. She picks Three unknown Pendulum monsters, "Gaia-Knight Ruby" and "Gaia-Knight Corrundum". Flash picks "Gaia-Knight Corrundum". Since there are at least three EARTH monsters in her Graveyard, she Special Summons "Gaia-Maiden Lady Marble" (3000/2500) in Attack Position via its own effect. She then Normal Summons "Corrundum" (1500/1200) in Defense Position. She then activates the effect of "Lady Marble" to banish "Ruby" from her Graveyard and reduce the ATK of "Magna Bull" by 100 times the banished monster's Level ("Magna Bull": 2100 → 1300/2200). "Lady Marble" attacks and destroys "Magna Bull" (Flash 3500 > 1800). She then activates the effect of "Rock Wrecker" to reduce the ATK of "Corrundum" ("Corrundum": 1500 > 1000/1200; Flash 1800 → 1300). She then Sets a card.

**Turn 6: Flash**

Flash draws. He then activates "Starburst Reload" to banish "Star Fang Magna Tiger" and draw cards equal to its Level. "Magna Tiger" is Level 7, so he draws seven cards. He then Pendulum Summons "Magna Bull" (2100/2200) and "Flash Heart Dragon X" (2500/2000) from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. The effect of "Flash Heart Dragon X" activates, banishing "Corrundum". He then activates "Reverse Polarity" to swap the ATK of both "Magna Bull" and "Lady Marble" ("Magna Bull": 2100 → 3000/2200; "Lady Marble": 3000 → 2100/2500). "Flash Heart Dragon X" attacks "Lady Marble", but Marble activates the effect of "Lady Marble" to banish an unknown EARTH monster from her Graveyard and negate its destruction this turn (Marble 3300 → 2900). "Magna Bull" attacks "Lady Marble" (Marble 2900 → 2000). He then Sets two cards.

**Turn 7: Marble**

Marble draws. She then equips "Lady Marble" with "Rock Crusher". Now if the equipped monster destroys a monster by battle, she can destroy every EARTH monster Flash controls. She then activates the effect of "Lady Marble" to banish "Emerald" and reduce the ATK of "Magna Bull" ("Magna Bull": 2100 → 1300/2200). "Lady Marble" attacks and destroys "Magna Bull", but Flash activates his face-down "Defense Draw" to reduce the Battle Damage to 0 and draw a card. The effect of "Rock Crusher" activates, destroying all of Flash's "Blockade Tokens". The effect of "Stone Blockade" activates (Flash 1300 → 400). She then Sets a card.

**Turn 8: Flash**

Flash draws. Marble activates her face-down "Trap Mirror" to activate the effect of "Stone Blockade" from her Graveyard, Special Summoning three "Blockade Tokens" (0/1500 each) in Defense Position. He then Normal Summons "Veil Pixie X" (100/100) in Attack Position. He then Tributes "Flash Heart Dragon X" and "Veil Pixie X" in order to Special Summon "Flash Dragon Magna Harmony" (3000/2500) in Attack Position via its own effect. He then activates its effect to banish "Flash Dragon Accel" and "Space-Warp Dragon" and grant itself their effects. "Magna Harmony" attacks "Lady Marble". Due to the granted effect of "Magna Harmony", its ATK is doubled ("Magna Harmony": 3000 → 6000/2500). Marble finds and activates the Action Card "Grass Guard" to halve the Battle Damage. Marble activates the final effect of "Lady Marble" to banish an EARTH monster and negate its destruction this turn (Marble 2000 → 500). He then activates the granted effect of "Magna Harmony" to Tribute itself and Special Summon "Flash Heart Dragon X" (2500/2000) from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. "Flash Heart Dragon X" attacks "Lady Marble". He then finds and activates the Action Card "Cloud Gazing" to pick three cards in his Graveyard and force Marble to pick one of them. If it's a monster, it is Special Summoned. If it's a Spell Card, he can activate it. If it's a Trap, Flash will take 500 damage. Marble picks one and it's revealed to be "Lightspeed", so he activates it ("Flash Heart Dragon X": 2500 → 3500/2000). The attack continues (Marble 500 → 0).
