## Featured Duel: Twilight Sparkle vs. Adagio Dazzle

The duel continues from the last episode...

**Turn 7: Twilight**

She then Normal Summons "Shadow Charmer" (1200/700) in Attack Position. Since both players control the same number of monsters, she Special Summons "Illusionary Magician" (1400/1300) from her hand in Attack Position via its own effect. She then activates the effect of "Shadow Charmer" to discard one card and revive "Magician's Valkyria" (1600/1800) in Defense Position. She then tunes the Level 4 "Illusionary Magician" with the Level 3 Tuner monster "Shadow Charmer" in order to Synchro Summon "Twilight Sorcerer" (2100/2800) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Twilight Sorcerer", it gains 100 ATK for every "Spellbook" card in Twilight's Graveyard ("Twilight Sorcerer": 2100 → 2300/2800). She then activates "Spellbook of Power" to increase the ATK of "Twilight Sorcerer" by 1000 ("Twilight Sorcerer": 2300 → 3300 → 3400/2800). "Twilight Sorcerer" attacks "Dark Siren", but Adagio activates the second effect of "Dark Siren" to send "Tempest Conjurer" to the Graveyard ("Dark Siren": 3200 → 1000/2400 → 1000) and negate the attack. On Twilight's End Phase, the effect of "Spellbook of Power" expires ("Twilight Sorcerer": 3400 → 2400/2800).

**Turn 8: Adagio**

Adagio draws. She then activates "Alluring Melody" to send "Alluring Siren" from her Deck to the Graveyard and switch "Magician's Valkyria" to Attack Position. She then activates the effect of "Dark Siren" to equip itself with "Twilight Sorcerer", increasing its ATK and DEF by the ATK and DEF of "Twilight Sorcerer" respectively ("Dark Sieen": 1000 → 3100/1000 → 3800). "Dark Siren" attacks and destroys "Magician's Valkyria" (Twilight 2400 → 900). Twilight finds and activates the Action Card "Bringing the House Down" to inflict damage to Adagio equal to the ATK of "Magician's Valkyria" (Adagio 2750 → 1150) and draw one card for every 400 damage Adagio took. Adagio took 1600 damage, so she draws four cards.

**Turn 9: Twilight**

Twilight draws. She then activates "Magi-Beast Midnight Owl" (Left 2) and "Magi-Beast Mystic Dracokid" (Right 6) in her Pendulum Zones. She then Pendulum Summons "Magi-Beast Twilight Unicorn" (1800/1300) from her hand in Attack Position. She then finds and activates the Action Card "Understudy Spotlight" to banish "Illusionary Magician" from her Graveyard and Special Summon "Mystic Mage" (400/600) and "Star Charmer" (300/300) from her hand in Attack Position. She then tunes the Level 4 "Twilight Unicorn" and the Level 2 "Mystic Mage" with the Level 1 Tuner monster "Star Charmer" in order to Synchro Summon "Twilight Alicorn" (2600/1900) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to banish one "Spellbook" Spell Card, and increase its own ATK by 1000 ("Twilight Alicorn": 2600 → 3600/1900). "Twilight Alicorn" attacks "Dark Siren", but Adagio activates the second effect of "Dark Siren" to send "Tempest Conjurer" to the Graveyard ("Dark Siren": 3100 → 1000/3800 → 1000) and negate the attack. On Twilight's End Phase, the effect of "Twilight Alicorn" expires ("Twilight Alicorn": 3600 → 2600/1900).

**Turn 10: Adagio**

Adagio draws. She then activates the effect of "Dark Siren" to equip itself with "Twilight Alicorn", increasing its ATK and DEF by the ATK and DEF of "Twilight Alicorn" respectively ("Dark Siren": 1000 → 3600/1000 → 2900). "Dark Siren" attacks Twilight directly, but Twilight activates the effect of the "Soul Guard" in her Graveyard, banishing it to negate the attack. She then Sets a card.

**Turn 11: Twilight**

Twilight draws. She then Pendulum Summons "Magi-Beast Twilight Unicorn" (1800/1300) from her Extra Deck in Attack Position. Adagio activates "Siren's Song Guard", which places three Song Counters on itself. Now whenever a monster Twilight controls attacks, she can remove a Song Counter from this card and from play one "Alluring Siren" from her Graveyard to negate the attack. She then activates "Spellbook of Sacrifice" to Tribute "Twilight Unicorn" and revive "Mystic Mage" (400/600) and "Star Charmer" (300/300) in Attack Position. She then tunes the Level 2 "Mystic Mage" with the Level 1 Tuner monster "Star Charmer" in order to Synchro Summon "Celestial Charmer" (1200/600) in Attack Position.

Since "Celestial Charmer" was Synchro Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Twilight to draw a card. If it's a Spell Card, then she can reduce the ATK of "Dark Siren" by 500. She draws "Spellbook of Rebirth" ("Dark Siren": 3600 → 3100/1900). She then activates "Spellbook of Rebirth" to revive "Twilight Sorcerer" (2100/2800) in Attack Position. She then tunes the Level 7 Synchro Monster "Twilight Sorcerer" with the Level 3 Synchro Tuner monster "Celestial Charmer" in order to Accel Synchro Summon "Celestial Body Magician" (3500/3000) in Attack Position.

She then activates its effect to look at the top five cards of her Deck. If she finds any "Spellbook" Spell Cards, then "Celestial Body Magician" can attack that many times. All she needs is five "Spellbooks" because of the effects of "Dark Siren" and "Siren's Song Guard". She finds "Spellbook of Fate", "Spellbook of Eternity", "Spellbook of Organisation", "Spellbook of Wisdom" and "Spellbook of Secrets", so "Celestial Body Magician" can attack five times. "Celestial Body Magician" attacks "Dark Siren", but Adagio activates the effect of "Dark Siren" to send "Twilight Alicorn" to the Graveyard ("Dark Siren": 3100 → 500/2900 → 1000) and negate the attack. "Celestial Body Magician" attacks "Dark Siren" a second time, but Adagio activates the effect of "Siren's Song Guard" to remove a Song Counter and from play one "Alluring Siren" from her Graveyard and negate the attack. "Celestial Body Magician" attacks "Dark Siren" a third time, but Adagio activates the effect of "Siren's Song Guard" to remove a Song Counter and from play one "Alluring Siren" from her Graveyard and negate the attack. "Celestial Body Magician" attacks "Dark Siren" a fourth time, but Adagio activates the effect of "Siren's Song Guard" to remove a Song Counter and from play one "Alluring Siren" from her Graveyard and negate the attack. "Celestial Body Magician" attacks and destroys "Dark Siren" (Adagio 1150 → 0).
