Varis vs Bohman

## Featured Duel: Varis vs. Bohman

**Turn 1: Bohman**

Bohman draws. As there are no monsters in the Main Monster Zones, Bohman Special Summons "Hydradrive Booster" (0/0) from his hand by its own effect. He then uses "Booster" to Link Summon "Burn Hydradrive" (1000/LINK-1/↓) to the Extra Monster Zone. He then Special Summons another "Booster" (0/0) from his hand by its own effect and uses it to Link Summon "Coolant Hydradrive" (1000/LINK-1/↓) to the zone "Burn Hydradrive" points to. He then uses "Burn Hydradrive" and "Coolant Hydradrive" to Link Summon "Twin Hydradrive Knight" (1800/LINK-2/←→) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Twin Hydradrive Knight" was Link Summoned, Bohman activates its effect to change its Attribute to that of the original Attributes of the Link Monsters used for its Link Summon, in this case FIRE and WATER. Bohman then uses "Twin Hydradrive Knight" to Link Summon "Burn Hydradrive" (1000/LINK-1/↓) to the Extra Monster Zone.

He then activates the Quick-Play Spell "Hydradrive Scabbard", Special Summoning a "Hydradrive Token" (0/0). He then uses the "Token" to Link Summon "Flow Hydradrive" (1000/LINK-1/↓) to the zone "Burn Hydradrive" points to. Bohman activates the Spell Card "Hydradrive Rebuild", destroying a face-up "Hydradrive" monster he controls. He destroys "Burn Hydradrive", whose effect Special Summons a "Token" (0/0) in Defense Position since it was destroyed by battle or card effect. Because the monster destroyed by its effect activated its effect in the GY, Bohman activates the other effect of "Hydradrive Rebuild" to Special Summon "Twin Hydradrive Knight" back from the GY. Bohman uses the "Hydradrive Token" to Link Summon "Alteration Hydradrive" (0/LINK-1/↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. As it was Link Summoned, Bohman activates the effect of "Alteration Hydradrive", targeting one "Hydradrive" Link Monster he controls and Special Summoning as many "Hydradrive" Link Monsters from his GY as possible with lower Link Ratings that the targeted monster to the Zones the targeted Link Monster points to with their effects negated, and then destroying the targeted monster. Bohman targets "Twin Hydradrive Knight", Special Summons "Coolant Hydradrive" and "Burn Hydradrive" to the zones "Twin Hydradrive Knight" points to, and then destroys "Twin Hydradrive Knight". Bohman Normal Summons "Hydradrive Element" (0/0), then uses "Element" to Link Summon "Grand Hydradrive" to the zone "Alteration Hydradrive" points to. As it was sent to the GY as Link Material, the effect of "Element" lets Bohman target a monster on the field and declare an Attribute, and then the targeted monster will become that Attribute until the End Phase. He targets "Alteration Hydradrive" and declares LIGHT.

Bohman uses the LIGHT "Alteration Hydradrive", EARTH "Grand Hydradrive", WATER "Coolant Hydradrive", FIRE "Burn Hydradrive" and WIND "Flow Hydradrive" to Link Summon "Chimera Hydradrive Dragrid" (4000/LINK-5/←↙↓↘→) to the Extra Monster Zone. As it was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, the effect of "Dragrid" places one Hydradrive Counter on it.

**Turn 2: Varis**

Varis draws. Varis Normal Summons "Anesthrokket Dragon" (0/2200). He then activates "Squib Draw", destroying "Anesthrokket" to draw two cards. Varis activates the Field Spell Card "Boot Sector Launch", and activates its effect; if his opponent controls more monsters than he does, then he can Special Summon "Rokket" monsters with different names from his GY in Defense Position, up to the difference. he controls no monsters and Soulburner controls 1 monster, Therefore Varis Special Summons "Anesthrokket" (0/2200) in Defense Position. The effect of "Boot Sector Launch" increases the ATK/DEF of all "Rokket" monsters on the field by 300 ("Anesthrokket": 0/2200 → 300/2500). Since he controls a "Rokket" monster, Varis Special Summons "Absorouter Dragon" (1200/2800) from his hand in Defense Position, via its own effect. Varis uses "Anesthrokket" and "Absorouter" to Link Summon "Quadborrel Dragon" (1000/LINK-2/←↓).

Varis activates the second effect of "Absorouter" in his GY, if it is sent to the GY, he can add 1 "Rokket" monster from his Deck to his hand. he can add Unknown "Rokket" monster. Varis activates the effect of "Quadborrel": he can discard 1 card, then target 1 face-up monster on the field and destroy it, but he cannot Special Summon Link-2 or lower monsters from his Extra Deck for the rest of the turn. He discards a card, then targets "Dragrid", but Bohman activates the effect of "Chimera Hydradrive Dragrid", removing the Hydradrive Counter from it to roll a die to return "Dragrid" to the Extra Deck and summon a "Draghead" monster, whose Attribute corresponds to the dice roll. He rolls a 2 (WATER), so he returns "Dragrid" to the Extra Deck to Special Summon "Chimera Hydradrive Draghead - Aqua" (4000/LINK-5/↙←↖↑↗). The effect of "Draghead - Aqua" activates, negating all other monster effects that are not linked to "Aqua"; the effects of "Quadborrel" are negated. At the end of the turn, the effect of "Draghead - Aqua" allows it to return to Bohman's Extra Deck and Special Summon "Chimera Hydradrive Dragrid" from the Extra Deck. As "Dragrid" was Special Summoned from Extra Deck, its effect places one Hydradrive Counter on itself. During the End Phase, "Anesthrokket" was destroyed by a card effect this turn, Varis activates its effect, allowing Varis to Special Summon one "Rokket" monster from his Deck. He Special Summons "Autorokket Dragon" (1600/1000 → 1900/1300).

**Turn 3: Bohman**

Bohman draws. Bohman activates the effect of "Dragrid", removing the Hydradrive Counter to roll a die. He rolls a 3 (FIRE), so he returns "Dragrid" to his Extra Deck to Special Summon "Chimera Hydradrive Draghead - Flame" (4000/LINK-5/↖↑↗→↘). Its effect activates, destroying all monsters that are not linked to "Draghead - Flame"; "Quadborrel" and "Autorokket" are destroyed. Since a DARK monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck was destroyed by a card effect, Varis activates the effect of the "Rokket Recharger" in his hand, discarding it to Special Summon "Anesthrokket" (0/2200 → 300/2500). "Draghead - Flame" attacks and destroys "Anesthrokket". At the end of his turn, Bohman activates the other effect of "Draghead - Flame", returning it to the Extra Deck and Special Summoning "Dragrid" from the Extra Deck, which places a Hydradrive Counter on itself by its own effect. During the End Phase, Varis activates the effects of both "Anesthrokket" and "Autorokket", as they were destroyed and sent to the GY this turn. Both effects Special Summon a "rokket" monster from the Deck. Varis Special Summons another copy of both "Autorokket" (1600/1000 → 1900/1300) and "Anesthrokket" (0/2200 → 300/2500).

**Turn 4: Varis**

Varis draws. He then uses "Autorokket" and "Anesthrokket" to Link Summon "Booster Dragon" (1900/LINK-2/↙↘). He then Normal Summons "Magnarokket Dragon" (1800/1200 → 2100/1500). He activates the effect of "Booster Dragon", targeting "Shelrokket" in an attempt to increase its ATK/DEF by 500. Bohman activates the effect of "Chimera Hydradrive Dragrid", removing the Hydradrive Counter from it to roll a die to return "Dragrid" to the Extra Deck and summon a "Draghead" monster, whose Attribute corresponds to the dice roll. He rolls a 2 (WATER), so he returns "Dragrid" to the Extra Deck to Special Summon "Chimera Hydradrive Draghead - Aqua" (4000/LINK-5/↙←↖↑↗). The effect of "Draghead - Aqua" activates, negating all other monster effects that are not linked to "Aqua"; the effects of "Booster Dragon" and "Magnarokket" are negated. He then activates the effect of "Boot Sector Launch", Special Summoning "Autorokket" (1600/1000 → 1900/1300). He then uses LINK-2 "Booster Dragon", "Magnarokket Dragon" and "Autorokket" to Link Summon "Borreload Dragon" (3000/LINK-4/←↙↘→) to the zone the top Link Point of "Draghead - Aqua" points to. "Borreload Dragon" attacks "Draghead - Aqua". As" Borreload" is attacking an opponent's monster, Varis activates its effect to take control of "Draghead - Aqua" and placing it in a zone "Borreload" points to, but "Draghead - Aqua" will be sent to the GY at the End Phase. "Draghead - Aqua" attacks directly, but Bohman banishes "Hydradrive Scabbard" from his GY, since he has WIND, WATER, FIRE, and EARTH "Hydradrive" Link Monsters in his GY. The damage from the direct attack is halved, and both players receive that damage (Bohman: 4000 → 2000 LP; Varis: 4000 → 2000 LP). He activates "Link Coin" by sending a Link Monster he controls to the GY. Varis excavates cards from the top of his deck, equal to the sent monster's Link Rating, puts a card from among them into his hand and the rest back in any order on top of his deck, and he can Special Summon the monster he sent back in his next turn. He sends "Draghead - Aqua", excavates 5 cards, and adds "Mirror Force" to his hand. Varis Sets a card.

**Turn 5: Bohman**

Bohman draws. As there are no monsters in the Main Monster Zones, Bohman Special Summons "Hydradrive Booster" (0/0) from his hand via its own effect. He tributes "Booster" to Tribute Summon "Hydradrive Agent" (0/???). The effect of "Agent" activates as it was Tribute Summoned, letting Bohman Special Summon 1 "Hydradrive" monster from his GY. Bohman Special Summons "Twin Hydradrive Knight", and as the summoned monster was a Link Monster, the effect of "Agent" lets him draw a card. Bohman uses "Agent" and "Twin Hydradrive Knight" to Link Summon "Paradox Hydradrive Atlas" (0/LINK-3/←↑↓). As it was Link Summoned, the effect of "Atlas" makes Bohman roll a six-sided die, which will change "Atlas"'s Attribute depending on the result. He gets a 2, so the Attribute of "Paradox Hydradrive Atlas" becomes WATER ("Paradox Hydradrive Atlas": EARTH → WATER). Bohman activates the second effect of "Paradox Hydradrive Atlas" to roll a die and Special Summon 1 "Hydradrive" Link Monster from his Extra Deck with the same Link Rating as the result to his zone "Atlas" points" to. He rolls a 4, so he Special Summons "Rousing Hydradrive Monarch" (3000/LINK-4/←↓↑→) to the bottom Link Arrow of "Atlas". Since "Rousing Hydradrive Monarch" was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, Bohman activates its effect, placing 4 Hydradrive counters on itself. While "Rousing Hydradrive Monarch" is on the field, it is an EARTH, WATER, FIRE and WIND Attribute. Due to the third effect of "Atlas", all monsters it points to become the same Attribute as "Atlas".

He activates "Judgment Arrows" (↖↑↗) at the Spell & Trap Zone. Bohman then activates the second effect of "Rousing Hydradrive Monarch" to remove 1 Hydradrive Counter from itself and roll a die. Each number represents an Attribute: 1: EARTH 2: WATER 3: FIRE 4: WIND 5: LIGHT 6: DARK. Depending on the result, he can send all monsters of that Attribute on Varis's side of the field to the GY and inflict 500 damage to Varis for each one sent. He rolled a six, so all DARK Attribute monsters Varis controls are sent to the GY (Varis: 2000 → 1500 LP).

He then uses "Atlas" and "Monarch" to Link Summon "Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon" (0/LINK-5/←↙↓↘→) to the Extra Monster Zone. As it was summoned, its effect places 5 Hydradrive Counters on itself and it gains 1000 ATK for each Hydradrive Counter on it ("Perfectron": 0 → 5000 ATK). "Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon" attacks directly. Varis activates his face-down "Link Short" to negate the effects of "Dragon" and prevent it from attacking ("Dragon": 5000 → 0 ATK). Bohman uses "Dragon" to Link Summon another copy of "Dragon" (0/LINK-5/←↙↓↘→) to the Extra Monster Zone. As it was summoned, its effect places 5 Hydradrive Counters on itself and it gains 1000 ATK for each Hydradrive Counter on it ("Perfectron": 0 → 5000 ATK).

**Turn 6: Varis**

Varis draws. Since his LP are less than Bohman's LP while his opponent controls a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, he activates "Final Offguard" to draw two cards. He then activates the second effect of "Boot Sector Launch" to revive "Magnarokket" (1800/1200 → 2100/1500) in Attack Position (as the difference between the number of monsters on either side of the field is one). Varis then activates the effect of "Noctovision Dragon" from his hand. When DARK Dragon-Type monster(s) have been summoned, it can Special Summon itself in Defense Position (0/2800 → 300/3100). He then uses "Noctovision" and "Magnrokket" to Link Summon "Quadborrel Dragon" (1000/LINK-2/←↓). Since "Noctovision" was used for a LInk Summon, Varis activates its effect, allowing himself to draw one card.

Varis activates the Normal Spell "Borrel Half Replace", allowing him to target 1 "Borrel" Link Monster in his GY, and Special Summon 1 "Borrel" Link Monster from his Extra Deck with the same Link Rating as that target but a different name, and if he does, its ATK becomes halved, and its effects are negated, also it is destroyed during the End Phase. He targets the Link-4 "Borreload Dragon" in his GY and Special Summons "Borrelsword Dragon" (3000 → 1500 ATK/LINK-4/↑←↙↓) from his Extra Deck to the Main Monster Zone the bottom-center Link Arrow of "Quadborrel" points to. Varis activates the Normal Spell "Link Burst", allowing him to target 1 Link Monster he controls and 1 monster his opponent controls, and destroy them, then he draws 1 card. He targets "Borrelsword Dragon" and "Dragon", but Bohman activates the effect of "Dragon" to remove a Hydradrive Counter ("Dragon": 5000 → 4000 ATK) and negate its destruction. Varis activates the second effect of "Half Replace" in his GY: he can banish it and 2 "Rokket" monsters from his GY, in order to Special Summon 1 Link-2 DARK Link Monster from his Extra Deck to his zone a "Borrel" Link Monster points to (treat as a Link Summon). He banishes "Half Replace", "Magnarokket" and "Anesthrokket" to Special Summon "Dillingerous Dragon" (1600/LINK-2/↑↓) to the zone the bottom Link Point of "Quadborrel Dragon" points to. Varis activates the effect of "Quadborrel": he can discard 1 card, then target 1 face-up monster on the field and destroy it, but he cannot Special Summon Link-2 or lower monsters from his Extra Deck for the rest of the turn. He discards a card, then targets "Dragon", but Bohman activates the effect of "Dragon" ("Dragon": 4000 → 3000 ATK) and negate its destruction.

Varis then uses LINK-2 "Quadborrel Dragon" and "Dillingerous Dragon" to Link Summon "Topologic Bomber Dragon" (3000/LINK-4/↑↙↓↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. Varis activates the effect of "Defrag Dragon" in his GY, banishing three other monsters with the same name from his GY to Special Summon it. He banishes three copies of "Sniffer Dragon" and Special Summons "Defrag Dragon" in Defense Position (1000/600) to the bottom-left Link Point of "Bomber Dragon". As a monster was Special Summoned to a zone a Link Monster points to, the effect of "Bomber Dragon" activates, destroying all monsters in the Main Monster Zones. Bohman activates the effect of "Dragon" ("Dragon": 3000 → 2000 ATK) and negate its destruction. Varis activates the Equip Spell "Borrel Regenerator", allowing him to target 1 "Rokket" monster in his GY, and Special Summon it and equip it with this card, but it is banished when "Borrel Regenerator" leaves the field. He Special Summons "Anesthrokket" (0/2200 → 300/2500). The effect of "Bomber Dragon" activates, destroying all monsters in the Main Monster Zones. Bohman activates the effect of "Dragon" ("Dragon": 2000 → 1000 ATK) to negate its destruction. Since Bohman controls a Link Monster, Varis Special Summons "Gateway Dragon" (1600/1400) from his hand in Attack Position via its own effect. The effect of "Bomber Dragon" activates, destroying all monsters in the Main Monster Zones. Bohman activaes the effect of "Dragon" ("Dragon": 1000 → 0 ATK). "Bomber Dragon" attacks and destroys "Dragon" (Bohman: 2000 → 0 LP).
