## Featured Duel: Soarin vs. Heath Burns

**Turn 1: Heath**

Heath draws. He then Normal Summons "Solar Flare Dragon" (1500/1000) in Attack Position. He then Sets three cards. On Heath's End Phase, the effect of "Solar Flare Dragon" activates, inflicting 500 damage to Soarin (Soarin 4000 → 3500).

**Turn 2: Soarin**

Soarin draws. He then Normal Summons "Techno Force Jet Jammer" (1800/1000) in Attack Position. He then activates "Frontline Base". Now once per turn, he can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Union monster from his hand. He then uses the effect of "Frontline Base" to Special Summon "Heavy Mech Support Cannon" (500/500) from his hand in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to equip itself to "Jet Jammer". "Jet Jammer" attacks "Solar Flare Dragon", but Heath activates his face-down "Dimensional Prison" to negate the attack and remove "Jet Jammer", but Soarin activates the second effect of "Heavy Mech Support Cannon" to negate the activation of "Dimensional Prison" and destroy it. "Jet Jammer" then destroys "Solar Flare Dragon" (Heath 4000 → 3700). He then Sets a card.

**Turn 3: Heath**

Heath draws. He then activates his two face-down "Flaming Soldier of Hellfire" to Special Summon them as Trap Monsters (1600/1100) in Attack Position. He then activates "Infernal Blaze" to double the ATK of all FIRE monsters he controls until the End Phase, at which point they will be destroyed (Both "Flaming Soldiers of Hellfire": 1600 → 3200/1100). One "Flaming Soldier of Hellfire" attacks "Jet Jammer", but Soarin activates his face-down "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow" to negate the attack. The other "Flaming Soldier of Hellfire" attacks "Jet Jammer", but Soarin finds and activates the Action Card "Emperor's Tax" to reduce the ATK of the "Flaming Soldier of Hellfire" by its Level x200 ("Flaming Soldier of Hellfire": 3200 → 2400/1100). Soarin destroys "Heavy Mech Support Cannon" to negate his monster's destruction (Soarin 3500 → 2900). He then Tributes both "Flaming Soldiers of Hellfire" in order to Tribute Summon "Flaming Emperor Hellfire" (2600/2200) in Attack Position.

**Turn 4: Soarin**

Soarin draws. He then Normal Summons "Techno Force Sub Surfer" (1200/1500) in Attack Position. He then uses the effect of "Frontline Base" to Special Summon "Techno Force Armored Assault" (500/2000) from his hand in Attack Position. He then banishes "Jet Jammer", "Sub Surfer" and "Armored Assault" in order to Fusion Summon "Mega Techno Force Attack Convoy" (2800/2600) in Attack Position. Heath finds and activates the Action Card "Forced Equality" to draw two cards as the difference between both player's hands is two. He then activates the effect of "Attack Convoy" to discard "Techno Support AFV" and destroy "Hellfire". Since "Techno Support AFV" was sent to the Graveyard, its effect activates, allowing Soarin to draw two cards. "Attack Convoy" attacks directly, but Heath activates the effect of the "Pyro Caller" in his hand, discarding it to revive "Solar Flare Dragon" (1500/1000) in Defense Position and intercept the attack. "Attack Convoy" then destroys "Solar Flare Dragon". Since "Attack Convoy" destroyed a monster by battle, its effect activates, inflicting damage to Heath equal to the Level of "Solar Flare Dragon" x300. "Solar Flare Dragon" is Level 4 (Heath 3700 → 2500).

**Turn 5: Heath**

Heath draws. He then activates "Eruption Reload" to banish "Solar Flare Dragon" from his Graveyard and draw four cards. He then activates the effect of the "Hellfire" in his Graveyard, discarding one card to Special Summon it (2600/2200) in Attack Position. He then Normal Summons "Flame Ruler" (1500/1600) in Attack Position. He then activates "Double Summon" to Normal Summon twice this turn. He then Tributes "Flame Ruler" (treated as two Tributes via its effect) and "Hellfire" in order to Tribute Summon "Searing Flame Dragon Afterburner" (?/?) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Afterburner", it gains 800 ATK and DEF for every Trap Card in Heath's Graveyard. There are currently four ("Afterburner": ? → 3200/? → 3200). "Afterburner" attacks "Attack Convoy". This activates the effect of "Afterburner", allowing Heath to look at the top five cards of his Deck and send all Traps among them to the Graveyard ("Afterburner": 3200 → 4000/3200 → 4000). Soarin tries to activate his face-down "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow", but it doesn't work as since "Afterburner" was Tribute Summoned by Tributing three monsters, it is immune to Trap Cards. "Afterburner" then destroys "Attack Convoy" (Soarin 2900 → 1700).

**Turn 6: Soarin**

Soarin draws. He then activates "Magical Maller" to shuffle two cards into his Deck and draw two cards. He then Normal Summons "Techno Force Rush Rotor" (1700/1400) in Attack Position. He then activates the effect of "Frontline Base" to Special Summon "Techno Force Tank Trasher" (1600/1200) from his hand in Attack Position. He then banishes "Rush Rotor" and "Tank Trasher" in order to Fusion Summon "Mega Techno Force Defence Convoy" (2100/1800) in Attack Position. He then activates "Monster Reborn" to revive "Attack Convoy" (2800/2600) in Attack Position. He then banishes "Defence Convoy" and "Attack Convoy" in order to Fusion Summon "Ultra Techno Force Grand Convoy" (3000/2800) in Attack Position. "Grand Convoy" attacks "Afterburner". This activates the effect of "Grand Convoy", reducing the ATK of "Afterburner" by 300 times its Level. "Afterburner" is Level 9 ("Afterburner": 4000 → 1300/4000). Heath finds the Action Trap "Unequal Tax", which forces him to send the top three cards of his Deck to the Graveyard, one of them being a Trap Card ("Afterburner": 1300 → 2100/4000 → 4800). "Grand Convoy" then destroys "Afterburner" (Heath 2500 → 1600).

**Turn 7: Heath**

Heath draws. He then activates the effect of the "Hellfire" in his Graveyard, discarding one card to Special Summon it (2600/2200) in Attack Position. He then Sets a card and activates "Heavy Storm" to destroy all other Spells and Traps on the field. Since "Statue of the Wicked" was destroyed, its effect activates, Special Summoning a "Wicked Token" (0/0) in Attack Position. He then Tributes the "Wicked Token" in order to Tribute Summon "Armoured Inferno" (2300/1600) in Attack Position. He then activates the effect of "Hellfire" to reduce the ATK of "Grand Convoy" by 100 for every Trap Card in Heath's Graveyard. There are eight ("Grand Convoy": 3000 → 2200/2800). "Hellfire" attacks and destroys "Grand Convoy" (Soarin 1700 → 1300). "Armoured Inferno" attacks Soarin directly, but Soarin finds and activates the Action Card "Royal Council's Interruption" to draw one card. If it's a monster, he can Special Summon it, prevent its destruction by battle and reduce its ATK by its Level x100. He draws "Techno Force Shuttle Striker", so he Special Summons it (2400 → 1700/2000) in Attack Position. The attack continues (Soarin 1300 → 600).

**Turn 8: Soarin**

Soarin draws. He then finds and activates the Action Card "Scrap Recycle" to pay half of his LP (Soarin 600 → 300) and add one card from his Deck to his hand for every banished monster. He then activates "Techno Support AFV" (Left 1) and "Techno Support M-6" (Right 9) in his Pendulum Zones. He then Pendulum Summons "Techno Support OTR-23" (2600/1500), "Techno Support WC-54" (1600/1600), "Techno Support TOS-1" (2200/1100) and "Techno Support B-2" (1000/1000) from his hand in Attack Position. He then banishes all five of his monsters in order to Fusion Summon "Ultra Techno Force Galaxy Convoy" (3500/3000) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to equip itself with the "Grand Convoy" in his Graveyard, increasing its ATK by its Level x100 ("Galaxy Convoy": 3500 → 4300/3000). "Galaxy Convoy" attacks "Hellfire", but Heath finds and activates the Action Card "Emergency Trap" to activate the "Negate Attack" in his Graveyard, negating the attack and ending the Battle Phase. He then Sets a card.

**Turn 9: Heath**

Heath draws. Since Heath has at least eight Trap Cards in his Graveyard, he Special Summons "Blazing Arms Dragon Infernity" (3000/3000) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. He then activates its effect to banish three Trap Cards from his Graveyard and destroy Soarin's face-down. He then activates its effect again to banish three more Trap Cards from his Graveyard and destroy "Galaxy Convoy". "Infernity" attacks Soarin directly (Soarin 300 → 0).
