## Featured Duel: Quattro vs. Sora Perse

**Turn 1: Sora**

Sora Normal Summons "Fluffal Leo" (1600/1200). Sora Sets a card.

**Turn 2: Quattro**

Quattro draws "Gimmick Puppet Scarecrow" and subsequently Normal Summons it (800/2000) in Attack Position. He then activates "Level Doubler" to target "Gimmick Puppet Egg Head" and double its Level by sending "Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll" from his hand to the Graveyard ("Gimmick Puppet Scarecrow": [1] 4 → 8). He then activates "Junk Puppet" to revive "Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll" ([2]8/0/0) in Attack Position (as "Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll" is a "Gimmick Puppet" that has at most 1000 ATK). Quattro overlays "Scarecrow" and "Dreary Doll" to Xyz Summon "Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings" (3000/2000) in Attack Position. "Gimmick Puppet of Strings" attacks and destroys "Fluffal Leo" (Sora: 4000 → 2600 LP). Sora activates his face-down "Fluffal Crane", which allows him to return a "Fluffal" monster which was destroyed by battle to his hand and then draw a card. Sora returns "Fluffal Leo". Quattro Sets a card.

**Turn 3: Sora**

Sora draws. Sora Normal Summons "Fluffal Owl" (1000/1000) in Attack Position. As it was Normal Summoned, he activates the effect of "Owl", adding "Polymerization" from his Deck to his hand. He then activates "Polymerization", fusing "Fluffal Bear", "Fluffal Owl" and "Sabres" on his field to Fusion Summon "Frightfur Tiger" (1900/1200) in Attack Position. The effect of "Tiger" increases the ATK of all "Frightfur" monsters Sora controls by 300 for each "Fluffal" and "Frightfur" monster he controls (1900 → 2200). The effect of the Fusion Summoned "Tiger" activates, allowing Sora to destroy cards Quattro controls up to the number of Fusion Materials used for its Fusion Summon, but Quattro activates his face-down "Shade of Strings" to protect "Gimmick Puppet of Strings" from being destroyed by card effects. Sora Sets two cards.

**Turn 4: Quattro**

Quattro draws. Quattro activates "Attack Gimmick" to increase the ATK of "Gimmick Puppet of Strings" by 500 ("Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder": 3000 → 3500 ATK). Also, should "Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder" destroy a monster by battle, it will inflict damage to the monster's controller equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster. "Gimmick Puppet of Strings" attacks "Frightfur Tiger", but Sora activates his face-down "Frightfur Defender", preventing the destruction of a "Frightfur" monster he controls either by battle or card effect and increasing its ATK by 800 ("Tiger": 2200 → 3000) (Sora 2600 → 2100). Quattro activates the effect of "Gimmick Puppet of Strings", detaching an Overlay Unit ("Gimmick Puppet of Strings": 2 → 1 ORU) to place a String Counter on all other face-up monsters on the field. Quattro explains that during Sora's next End Phase, the third effect of "Gimmick Puppet of Strings" will destroy all monsters with String Counters and all players will take damage equal the ATK of the monsters they controlled that were destroyed.

**Turn 5: Sora**

Sora draws. Sora Normal Summons "Edge Imp Saw" (500/1000). As it was Normal Summoned this turn, he activates its effect, which allows him to send a "Fluffal" monster from his hand to the Graveyard to draw two cards. Sora sends "Fluffal Sheep". Sora activates the Continuous Spell Card "Frightfur Factory", which allows him to banish a "Polymerization" card from his Graveyard and then Fusion Summon a "Frightfur" Fusion Monster from his Extra Deck by using monsters from his hand or his side of the field as Fusion Materials once per turn. He banishes "Polymerization" to fuse the "Edge Imp Saw" on his field with the "Fluffal Leo" in his hand to Fusion Summon "Frightfur Leo" (2400/2000) in Attack Position ("Tiger": 3000 → 3300; "Frightfue Leo": 2400 → 3000). "Tiger" attacks "Gimmick Puppet of Strings" (Quattro: 4000 → 3700 LP), but "Gimmick Puppet of Strings" isn't destroyed as "Tiger" isn't a "Number" monster. Sora activates his face-down "De-Fusion" to return "Tiger" to his Extra Deck ("Leo": 3000 → 2400) and Special Summon "Owl" (1000/1000) and "Sabres" (1200/800) from his Graveyard in Defense Position.

**Turn 6:****Quattro**

Quattro draws. He then activates "Xyz Colosseum". Now, while this card is face-up, only Xyz Monsters can attack, and all Xyz Monsters gain 200 ATK ("Gimmick Puppet of Strings": 3000 → 3200/2000). "Gimmick Puppet of Strings" attacks and destroys "Leo" (Sora: 2100 → 1300 LP). Quattro activates the effect of "Gimmick Puppet of Strings", detaching an Overlay Unit ("Gimmick Puppet of Strings": 1 → 0 ORU) to place a String Counter on all other face-up monsters on the field.

**Turn 7: Sora**

Sora draws. He then activates "Fusion Conscription", which allows him to reveal a Fusion Monster from his Extra Deck and add one of the Fusion Materials listed on that card from his Deck or Graveyard to his hand, but that monster cannot be Normal or Special Summoned. He then activates the second effect of "Owl" to pay 500 LP (Sora: 1300 → 800) and fuse "Fluffal Owl" and "Sabres" on his field to Fusion Summon "Frightfur Tiger" (1900/1200) in Attack Position. He activates the effect of "Frightfur Factory", banishing "Fusion Conscription" from his Graveyard to fuse the unknown "Edge Imp" monster in his hand with "Frightfur Tiger" to Fusion Summon "Frightfur Sabre-Tooth" (2400/2000) in Attack Position. The effect of "Sabre-Tooth" increases the ATK of all "Frightfur" monsters Sora controls by 400 for each "Frightfur" and "Fluffal" monster he controls ("Sabre-Tooth": 2400 → 2800). The effect of "Sabre-Tooth" activates as it was Special Summoned, allowing Sora to Special Summon a "Frightfur" monster from his Graveyard, ignoring its Summoning conditions. He Special Summons "Tiger" in Attack Position ("Sabre-Tooth": 2800 → 3200 → 3800; "Tiger": 1900 → 2700 → 3300). Sora activates "Frightur Fusion", which allows him to Fusion Summon a "Frightfur" Fusion Monster from his Extra Deck by banishing monsters on his side of the field or Graveyard as Fusion Materials. He banishes "Edge Imp Saw" and "Fluffal Sheep" to Fusion Summon "Frightfur Sheep" (2000 → 4100/2000) in Attack Position ("Sabre-Tooth": 3800 → 4200 → 4500; "Tiger": 3300 → 3700 → 4000). "Sheep", "Sabre-Tooth" and "Tiger" attacks "Gimmick Puppet of Strings" (Quattro: 3700 → 2700 → 1200 → 100), but "Gimmick Puppet of Strings" isn't destroyed as all three of them aren't "Number" monsters.

**Turn 8: Quattro**

Quattro draws. He then Tributes "Gimmick Puppet of Strings" to Special Summon "Gimmick Puppet Nightmare" (1000/2000) in Attack Position via its effect. As "Gimmick Puppet Nightmare" was Special Summoned through its own effect, it can be treated as two monsters for an Xyz Summon. Quattro overlays "Gimmick Puppet Nightmare" to Xyz Summon "Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder" (1500/2500) in Attack Position. Quattro activates "Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force" to Rank-Up "Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder" via Chaos Xyz Evolution in order to Xyz Summon "Chaos Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Hunter" ([3]9/2500/1500, ORU: 1) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to detach an Overlay Unit to destroy all monsters Sora controls Special Summoned from the Extra Deck and inflict damage to Sora equal to their current ATK (Sora 800 → 0).
