## Featured Duel: Zack Pies vs. Framer

**Turn 1: Zack**

Zack draws. He then Sets a monster. He then Sets a card.

**Turn 2: Framer**

Framer draws. He then activates "Final Countdown" by paying 2000 LP (Framer 4000 -> 2000), but Zack activates his face-down "Dark Bribe" to negate and destroy "Final Countdown" and allow Framer to draw a card. He then activates "Wave-Motion Cannon". Now any turn, he can send this card to the Graveyard and inflict 1000 damage for every turn after activation. He then Normal Summons "Gene-Warped Warwolf" (2000/100) in Attack Position. "Gene-Warped Warwolf" attacks and destroys Zack's Set monster, "Cyber Jar" (900/900). The Flip effect of "Cyber Jar" activates, destroying every monster on the field. After that happens, the Flip Effect of "Cyber Jar" lets both players excavate the top five cards from their respective decks and Special Summon any Level 4 or lower monsters them drew in Attack Position or face-down Defense Position before adding the remaining cards to their respective hand. Zack Special Summons two copies of "Witch's Apprentice" (550/500) in Attack Position while Framer Special Summons "Luster Dragon" (1900/1600) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Witch's Apprentice", all DARK monsters on the field gain 500 ATK (Both "Witch's Apprentices": 550 → 1550/500). He then Sets two cards.

**Turn 3: Zack**

Zack draws. He then activates "Mystic Plasma Zone". Now all DARK monsters gain 500 ATK and lose 400 DEF (Both "Witch's Apprentices": 1550 → 2050/500 → 100). He then Normal Summons "Emissary of the Afterlife" (1600 → 3100/600 → 200) in Attack Position. "Emissary of the Afterlife" attacks "Luster Dragon", but Framer activates his face-down "Negate Attack" to negate the attack and end the Battle Phase. He then Sets a card.

**Turn 4: Framer**

Framer draws. He then Sets two cards.

**Turn 5: Zack**

Zack draws. He then Tributes "Emissary of the Afterlife" in order to Tribute Summon "Swordstalker" (2000 → 3500/1600 → 1200) in Attack Position. Since "Emissary of the Afterlife" was sent from the field to the Graveyard, its effect activates, letting both players select a Level 3 or lower Normal Monster from their Decks and add it to their hand. Zack adds "Ancient (Don't know)" while Framer adds "Giant Soldier of Stone". Framer activates his face-down "Gravity Bind". Now all Level 4 or higher monsters can't attack. "Witch's Apprentice" attacks "Luster Dragon", but Framer activates his face-down "Negate Attack" to negate the attack and end the Battle Phase.

**Turn 6: Framer**

Framer draws. He then Tributes "Luster Dragon" in order to Tribute Summon "Trance the Magic Swordsman" (2600/200) in Attack Position. He then equips "Trance" with "Axe of Despair", increasing its ATK by 1000 ("Trance": 2600 → 3600/200).

**Turn 7: Zack**

Zack draws. He then Normal Summons "Feral Imp" (1300 → 2800/1400 → 1000) in Attack Position.

**Turn 8: Framer**

**Turn 9: Zack**

Zack draws. He then Tributes "Feral Imp" in order to Tribute Summon "King of Yamimakai" (2000 → 3500/1530 → 1130) in Attack Position.

**Turn 10: Framer**

Framer draws. He then activates the effect of "Wave-Motion Cannon" to send it to the Graveyard and inflict 4000 damage to Zack, but Zack activates his face-down "Rainbow Life" to discard one card and change all damage he takes this turn into LP (Zack 4000 → 8000). He then activates "Lightning Vortex" to discard one card to destroy all monsters Zack controls. He then activates "Mystical Space Typhoon" to destroy "Gravity Bind". He then activates "Monster Reborn" to revive "Grinder Golem" (3000 → 3500/300 → 0) in Attack Position. "Trance" and "Grinder Golem" attack Zack directly (Zack 8000 → 4500 → 900).
