## Featured Duel: Sylvio Sawatari vs. Girag

**Turn 1: Girag**

Girag draws. Girag Normal Summons "Fire Hand" (1600/1000). Since Girag controls a Pyro-Type monster, he Special Summons "Prominence Hand" (600/2000) via its own effect in Attack Position. Girag overlays "Fire Hand" and "Prominence Hand" in order to Xyz Summon "Number 106: Giant Hand" (2000/2000) in Attack Position. Girag Sets a card.

**Turn 2: Sylvio**

Sylvio draws. He then activates "Abyss Actor - Extras" ([1] 3) and "Abyss Actor - Funky Comedian" ([2] 8) in his Pendulum Zones. Sylvio Pendulum Summons "Abyss Actor - Superstar" (2500/1800) and "Abyss Actor - Sassy Rookie" (1700/1000) from his hand in Attack Position. He activates its effect, letting him adding an "Abyss Script" card from his Deck to his hand once per turn. As the effect of an opponent's Effect Monster was activated, Girag activates the second effect of "Giant Hand" to detach an Overlay Unit ("Giant Hand": 2 → 1 ORU) and negate the effect of "Superstar" as long as "Giant Hand" is face-up. Sylvio activates "Abyss Script - Opening Ceremony" to gain 500 LP for each Attack Position "Abyss Actor" monster he controls (Sylvio: 4000 → 5000 LP). "Superstar" attacks "Giant Hand", but the last effect of "Giant Hand" activates, destroying "Utopia" and inflicting damage to Yuma equal to the destroyed monster's ATK (as it was a monster whose effects had previously been negated by the effect of "Giant Hand") (Sylvio 5000 → 2500).

**Turn 3: Girag**

Girag draws. "Giant Hand" attacks "Sassy Rookie", but the effect of "Sassy Rookie" prevents its destruction by battle once per turn (Sylvio 2500 → 2200).

**Turn 4: Sylvio**

Sylvio draws. Sylvio Pendulum Summons "Superstar" (2500/1800) from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. Sylvio activates the Continuous Spell Card "Abyss Actors' Costume Chest", which lets him equip a monster with an "Abyss Costume" card from his Deck once per turn. He activates the effect now, equipping "Superstar" with "Abyss Costume - Hero's Sword", increasing its ATK by 300 ("Superstar" 2500 → 2800). Sylvio activates the Pendulum Effect of "Funky Comedian", letting him add an "Abyss Actor" Pendulum Monster he controls to the Extra Deck once per turn, then target a monster he controls and increase its ATK by the ATK of the monster added until the end of the turn. He adds "Sassy Rookie" and targets "Superstar" ("Superstar" 2800 → 4500). Sylvio activates "Abyss Stage Prop - Wild Wagon". Once per Battle Phase, he can prevent an "Abyss Actor" monster from being destroyed by battle and being affected by card effects. "Superstar" attacks "Giant Hand" (Girag 4000 → 1500), but "Giant Hand" isn't destroyed as "Superstar" isn't a "Number" monster.

**Turn 5: Girag**

Girag draws "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" and subsequently activates it to Rank-Up "Giant Hand" via Chaos Xyz Evolution in order to Xyz Summon "Chaos Number 106: Giant Red Hand" ([3]5/2600/2000, ORU: 1) in Attack Position. Girag activates the effect of "Giant Red Hand" to detach "Giant Hand" ("Giant Red Hand": 1 → 0 ORU) and negate the effects of all other face-up cards on the field ("Superstar" 2800 → 2500). He then Normal Summons "Magic Hand" ([4]4/800/1600) in Attack Position. "Giant Red Hand" attacks and destroys "Superstar" (Sylvio 2200 → 2100). "Magic Hand" attacks directly (Sylvio 2100 → 1300). Girag Sets two cards and activates "Erosion Hand Forest", which will inflict 1000 damage to all players during his Standby Phase.

**Turn 6: Sylvio**

Sylvio draws. Girag activates his face-down "Damaging Hand" (as Sylvio controls no monsters) to inflict 300 damage to Sylvio for every card in his hand (Sylvio 1300 → 1000). Sylvio Pendulum Summons "Abyss Actor - Superstar" (2500/1800) and "Abyss Actor - Sassy Rookie" (1700/1000) from his Extra Deck and "Abyss Actor - Wild Hope" (1600/1200) from his hand in Attack Position. He activates the effect of "Superstar", letting him adding an "Abyss Script" card from his Deck to his hand once per turn. He adds "Abyss Script - Rise of the Abyss King". As a Spell Card was added from Sylvio's Deck to her hand, Girag activates the effect of "Magic Hand" to destroy the added card and inflict 800 damage to his opponent (Sylvio 1000 → 200). "Superstar" attacks "Magic Hand", but Girag activates his face-down "Hand Vice" to negate the attack and inflict damage to Sylvio equal to the ATK of "Superstar" (as Girag controls a "Hand" monster) (Sylvio 200 → 0).
