## Featured Duel: Rarity and Applejack vs. Marble Pie

**Turn 1: Rarity**

Rarity draws. She then activates "Graceful Charity" to draw three cards and discard two cards. She then Normal Summons "Gem-Knight Alexandrite" (1800/1200) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to Tribute itself and Special Summon "Gem-Knight Sapphire" (0/2100) from her Deck in Defense Position. She then activates "Gem-Compression" to banish "Alexandrite", "Gem-Knight Tourmaline" and "Gem-Knight Garnet" in order to Fusion Summon "Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond" (3400/2000) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to Tribute one "Gem-Knight" monster and Special Summon a "Gem-Knight" Fusion Monster from her Extra Deck. She Tributes "Sapphire" and Special Summons "Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli" (2400/1000) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to send "Gem-Knight Topaz" from her Extra Deck to the GY and inflict 500 damage to Marble for every Special Summoned monster on the field. There are currently two (Marble 8000 → 7000). She then Sets two cards.

**Turn 2: Marble**

Marble draws. She then activates "Reincarnation of Hope" to discard two cards ("Gaia-Knight Beryllium" and an unknown Rock-Type monster) and add a card from her Deck to her hand during her second Standby Phase. She then banishes the discarded monsters in order to Special Summon "Gaia Knight Emerald" (1600/3600) in Defense Position. Due to the second effect of "Emerald", it gains 100 DEF for every banished Rock-Type monster. There are currently three ("Beryllium", the unknown Rock-Type monster and "Alexandrite") ("Emerald": 1600/3600 → 3900). She then equips "Emerald" with "Crystalline Blitzer". She then activates the effect of "Crystalline Blitzer" to discard one card, destroy one monster Marble's opponent controls whose Level is less than that of "Emerald" and inflict 200 damage equal to the destroyed monster's Level. She destroys Level 5 "Lady Lapis Lazuli" (Rarity 4000 → 3000). Since "Different Dimension Salvage" was sent to the GY, its effect activates, allowing Marble to draw one card for every banished monster. There are currently five, so she draws five cards.

**Turn 3: Applejack**

Applejack draws. She then activates "Stag of Great Seedling" (Left 1) and "Apple Fairy" (Right 7) in her Pendulum Zones. She then Pendulum Summons "Apple Paladin" (1200/600), "Maiden of Vines" (1000/1000) and "Thorn Fighter" (2000/2000) from her hand in Attack Position. She then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Apple Fairy" to target one monster she controls and change the Levels of all monsters she controls to the targeted monster's Level. She targets "Apple Paladin" ("Thorn Fighter": Level 6 → 3; "Lady Brilliant Diamond": Level 10 → 3). She then overlays "Apple Paladin", "Maiden of Vines" and "Thorn Fighter" in order to Xyz Summon "Orchid Cowboy" (2100/600) in Attack Position. She then activates "Xyz Energy" to detach an Overlay Unit from "Orchid Cowboy" and destroy "Emerald". "Orchid Cowboy" attacks directly, but Marble activates her face-down "Quake Breaker" to Special Summon itself as a monster (1600/1700) in Attack Position. A replay occurs and "Orchid Cowboy" attacks and destroys "Quake Breaker" (Marble 7000 → 6500). Since "Quake Breaker" was destroyed by battle, its effect activates, switching all monsters Applejack controls to Defense Position.

**Turn 4: Marble**

Marble draws. She then activates her face-down "Stone Blockade", but Applejack activates the effect of "Orchid Cowboy" to detach an Overlay Unit, negate the activation of "Stone Blockade" and destroy it. She then activates "Painful Choice" to pick five cards from her Deck and force Applejack to choose one of them to add to Marble's hand while the rest are sent to the GY. Marble picks "Gaia Knight Curundum", "Gaia Knight Coal", "Gaia Knight Ruby", "Gaia Knight Sapphire" and "Gaia Knight Diamond". Applejack chooses "Curundum". She then discards "Curundum" in order to Special Summon "Gaia Knight's Sage" (2100/1200) in Attack Position.

Due to the effect of "Gaia Knight's Sage", it gains 300 ATK for every banished Rock-Type monster ("Gaia Knight's Sage": 2100 → 2700/1200). She then activates "Land Slide". Now whenever a Rock-Type monster Marble controls destroys a monster by battle, Applejack/Rarity will take 300 damage. "Gaia Knight's Sage" attacks "Lady Brilliant", but Rarity activates her face-down "Gem-Knight Polish" to negate her monster's destruction by battle and increase its ATK by 1000 ("Lady Brilliant Diamond": 3400 → 4400/2000).

She then activates the second effect of "Gaia Knight's Sage" to return "Beryllium" to her Deck and allow it to attack again. "Gaia Knight's Sage" attacks and destroys "Lady Brilliant Diamond". The effect of "Land Slide" activates (Applejack 4000 → 3700). She then activates the second effect of "Gaia Knight's Sage" to return the unknown Rock-Type monster to her Deck and allow it to attack again. "Gaia Knight's Sage" attacks and destroys "Orchid Cowboy". The effect of "Land Slide" activates again (Applejack 3700 → 3400).

**Turn 5: Rarity**

Rarity draws. She then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Stag of Great Seedling" to draw one card for every Pendulum Monster in her GY. There are currently two, so she draws two cards. She then Pendulum Summons "Gem-Unicorn" (1600/1400) from her hand in Attack Position. Since "Gem-Unicorn" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Rarity to look at the top five cards of her Deck and Special Summon all "Gem-Knight" monsters among them. She finds and Special Summons "Gem-Knight Lapis" (1200/100) and "Gem-Knight Lazuli" (600/100) in Attack Position. She then Tributes "Lapis" and "Lazuli" in order to Tribute Summon "Gem-Knight Crystal" (2450/1950) in Attack Position. She then activates "Gem-Knight Mirror" and targets "Land Slide" for its effect. Now "Mirror" gains the effects of "Land Slide". "Gem-Knight Crystal" attacks and destroys "Gaia Knight's Sage" (Marble 6500 → 6150). The effect and copied effect of "Land Slide" and "Mirror" activate (Rarity 3000 → 2700; Marble 6150 → 5850). "Gem-Unicorn" attacks directly (Marble 5850 → 4250). She then Sets two cards.

**Turn 6: Marble**

Marble dtaws. On Marble's Standby Phase, the effect of "Reincarnation of Hope" activates, allowing Marble to add "Gaia Maiden Lady Marble" from her Deck to her hand. She then banishes "Gaia Knight Coal" and "Gaia Knight Curundum" in order to Special Summon "Gaia Maiden Lady Marble" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. She then activates its second effect to banish a Rock-Type monsters in her GY and reduce the ATK of "Gem-Unicorn" by 100 equal to the banished monster's Level She banishes "Ruby" ("Gem-Unicorn": 1600 → 800/1400). "Lady Marble" attacks "Gem-Unicorn", but Rarity activates her face-down "Shift" to redirect the attack to "Crystal", destroying it instead (Rarity 2700 → 2150). The effect and copied effect of "Land Slide" and "Mirror" activate (Rarity 2150 → 1850; Marble 4250 → 3950).
