## Featured Duel: Reginald "Shark" Kastle vs. Shay Obsidian

**Turn 1: Shay**

Shay Normal Summons "Raidraptor - Rudder Strix" (0/1600). As it was Normal or Special Summoned, Shay activates the effect of "Rudder Strix", inflicting 300 damage to Shark (Shark: 4000 → 3700 LP). Shay Sets a card.

**Turn 2: Shark**

Shark draws. He then Normal Summons "Friller Shark" (700/1500) in Attack Position. Shark Tributes "Friller Shark" in order to Special Summon "Sharkraken" (2400/2100) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect (as "Shocktopus" is a WATER monster). "Sharkraken" attacks "Rudder Strix", but Shay activates his face-down "Raidraptor - Risky Flight", allowing him to prevent the destruction of a Level 4 or lower "Raidraptor", halving the battle damage, and ending the Battle Phase (Shay: 4000 → 2800 LP). As it was attacked, Shay activates the effect of "Rudder Strix", allowing him to Special Summon two "Raidraptor" monsters from his hand. Shay Special Summons two other copies of "Rudder Strix", both in Attack Position (0/1600). As they were Special Summoned, their effects activate, inflicting 300 damage to Yuya for each (Shark: 3700 → 3100 LP).

**Turn 3: Shay**

Shay draws. Shay overlays his three copies of the Level 4 "Rudder Strix" to Xyz Summon "Raidraptor - Rise Falcon" (100/2000, ORU: 3) in Attack Position. Shay equips "Rise Falcon" with "Raptor's Ultimate Mace", increasing its ATK by 1000 ("Rise Falcon": 100 → 1100). Shay activates the effect of "Rise Falcon", detaching an Overlay Unit (ORU: 3 → 2) to increase its ATK by the combined ATK of all Special Summoned monsters his opponent controls until the End Phase ("Rise Falcon": 1100 → 3500). "Rise Falcon" attacks "Sharkraken", but Shark activates the effect of "Friller Shark" in his Graveyard, banishing it in order to negate the attack and decrease the ATK of "Rise Falcon" by 500 ("Rise Falcon": 3500 → 3000). Shay Sets a card.

**Turn 4: Shark**

Shark draws. He then Normal Summons "Double Fin Shark" (1000/1200) in Attack Position. This card can be treated as two monsters for the Xyz Summon of a WATER monster. As he controls a WATER monster, Shark Special Summons "Silent Angler" (800/1400) in Attack Position via its own effect. Shark then overlays "Double Fin Shark" and "Silent Angler" in order to Xyz Summon "Number 32: Shark Drake" (2800/2100, ORU: 2) in Attack Position. "Shark Drake" attacks "Rise Falcon", Shay activates his face-down "Overlay Armor", which lets him prevent his "Raidraptor" monster's destruction by battle by detaching one of its Overlay Units instead. Shay activates the effect of "Raptor's Ultimate Mace", which reduces all battle damage to the controller of the equipped monster from the battle to 0 and lets him add a "Rank-Up-Magic" Spell Card from his Deck to his hand. Shay adds "Rank-Up-Magic Revolution Force". "Sharkraken" attacks "Rise Falcon" and the same thing happens again and Shay adds "Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force". Shark Sets two cards.

**Turn 5: Shay**

Shay draws. Shay activates "Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force", Ranking Up "Rise Falcon" and performing an Rank-Up Xyz Evolution to Xyz Summon "Raidraptor - Blaze Falcon" (1000/2000) in Attack Position. Shay activates the effect of "Blaze Falcon", detaching an Overlay Unit to destroy as many of his opponent's Special Summoned monsters as possible and inflict 500 damage to his opponent for each one, but Shark activates "Cascade Barrier" to prevent "Shark Drake" from being destroyed by card effects once and reduce their ATK to 0. "Sharkraken" is destroyed (Shark: 3100 → 2600 LP). "Blaze Falcon" attacks "Shark Drake" (Shark: 2500 → 1600 LP), but it isn't destroyed as "Blaze Falcon" isn't a "Number" monster.

**Turn 6: Shark**

Shark draws. "Shark Drake" attacks "Blaze Falcon", but Shay activates his face-down "Adversity" as a monster he controls was targeted for an attack and it has less ATK than the attacking monster. That attacked monster cannot destroyed by that battle, Shay takes no battle damage from that battle and the attacked monster gains 1000 ATK ("Blaze Falcon": 1000 → 2000). Shark Sets two cards.

**Turn 7: Shay**

Shay draws. "Blaze Falcon" attacks directly via its own effect, but Shark activates his face-down "Bubble Bringer" to negate the attack. Shay Sets two cards.

**Turn 8: Shark**

Shark draws. "Shark Drake" attacks "Blaze Falcon", but Shay activates his face-down "Raidraptor - Readiness" to reduce the Battle Damage to 0, however Shark activates his face-down "Sea King's Verdict" to negate the activation of "Readiness" and destroy it since it was activated during the Battle Phase. "Shark Drake" destroys "Blaze Falcon" (Shay: 2800 → 2000 LP). Shark activates the effect of "Shark Drake", detaching an Overlay Unit  in order to Special Summon "Blaze Falcon" from Trey's Graveyard to his side of the field in Attack Position with 1000 less ATK (1000 → 0) and allow "Shark Drake" to attack that monster again. "Shark Drake" attacks and destroys "Blaze Falcon", but Shay activates the effect of the "Readiness" in his Graveyard, banishing it to reduce all damage he takes this turn to 0. Shark Sets a card. Shay activates his face-down "Rank-Up-Magic Raptor's Force", which allows him to Special Summon an Xyz Monster that was destroyed by battle this turn from the Graveyard, then Xyz Summon a "Raidraptor" Xyz Monster that is 1 Rank higher than that monster he controls, by using it as the Overlay Unit. He Special Summons "Blaze Falcon" and performs a Rank-Up Xyz Evolution to Xyz Summon "Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon" (2000/3000) in Attack Position. Since a "Raidraptor" monster was used as an Overlay Unit for its Summon, its effect activates, which allows Shay to destroy a Special Summoned monster Shark controls, and then inflict damage to him equal to half the destroyed monster's ATK. "Shark Drake" is destroyed (Shark: 1600 → 200 LP). Shark activates his face-down "Torrential Reborn" (as a WATER monster he controlled was destroyed by battle) to revive "Shark Drake" (2800 → 1800/2100) in Attack Position and inflict 500 damage to Shay, but that effect damage is reduced to 0 via "Readiness".

**Turn 9: Shay**

Shay draws. "Revolution Falcon" attacks "Shark Drake", but Shark activates his face-down "Hide and Shark" (as he has 2000 or fewer Life Points) to pay half his Life Points (Shark: 200 → 100 LP), banish "Shark Drake", and end the Battle Phase. After that's done, "Hide and Shark" returns "Shark Drake" from the Banished Zone in Attack Position and increases its ATK equal to the amount of Life Points paid to activate "Hide and Shark" (2800 → 2900).

**Turn 10: Shark**

Shark draws. Shark switches "Shark Drake" to Defense Position. Shark Sets a monster.

**Turn 11: Shay**

Shay draws. "Revolution Falcon" attacks and destroys Shark's Set monster, "Big Jaws" (1800/300). Shay Sets two cards.

**Turn 12: Shark**

Shark draws. He then activates the second effect of "Bubble Bringer" to send it to the Graveyard and revive "Big Jaws" (1800/300) in Attack Position as well as treat "Big Jaws" as two monsters for an Xyz Summon. Shark overlays his Level 3 "Big Jaws" to Xyz Summon "Black Ray Lancer" (2100/600, ORU: 1) in Attack Position. Shay activates his Continuous Trap Cards, "Raidraptor - Chain Lock" and "Raidraptor - Reactor". The former will change the battle position of a newly Special Summoned monster his opponent controls if its ATK is higher than the total ATK of all "Raidraptor" monsters Shay controls and the latter will destroy a Special Summoned monster his opponent controls that changes its battle position if it has more ATK than the total ATK of all "Raidraptor" monsters and inflict its ATK as damage to Shark. Shark activates "Shark Spark" to negate and destroy "Reactor". Shark activates the effect of "Black Ray Lancer" to detach an Overlay Unit and negate the effects of "Revolution Falcon" until the End Phase. Shark then overlays "Shark Drake" with itself via Chaos Xyz Evolution in order to Xyz Summon "Chaos Number 32: Shark Drake Veiss" ([1]4/2800/2100, ORU: 1) in Attack Position. Shark activates the effect of "Shark Drake Veiss" to detach an Overlay Unit ("Shark Drake Veiss": 1 → 0) and banish "Shark Drake" (who is a "Shark" monster) from his Graveyard in order to reduce the ATK of "Revolution Falcon" by the ATK of the banished monster ("Revolution Falcon": 2000 → 0). "Shark Drake Veiss" attacks and destroys "Revolution Falcon" (Shay: 2000 → 0 LP).
