He then activates "Flame Spear Dragon" (Left 3) and "Flame Banner Dracokid" (Right 7) in his Pendulum Zones. He then Pendulum Summons "Flame Sabre Dragon" (1500/1200) and "Iron Tail Dragon" (2100/1400) from his hand in Attack Position. He then Tributes his two monsters in order to Tribute Summon "Gandora-X, the Dragon of Demolition" (0/0) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to destroy all monsters his opponent controls and inflict damage to him equal to their total ATK (Spike's opponent ? → 0).

### Spike vs. Starlight Glimmer

**Turn 1: Starlight**

Starlight draws. She then Normal Summons "Celestial Spirit Cancer" (600/1600) in Defense Position. She then Sets two cards.

**Turn 2: Spike**

Spike draws. He then Normal Summons "Assault Wyvern" (1800/1000) in Attack Position. "Assault Wyvern" attacks and destroys "Cancer". Since a LIGHT monster was destroyed by battle, Starlight activates her face-down "Starburst Draw" to draw four cards (One card for every Level "Cancer" had). Since "Assault Wyvern" destroyed a monster by battle, its effect activates, Tributing itself to allow Spike to Special Summon a Dragon-Type monster from his hand. He Special Summons "Des Volstgalph" (2200/1700) in Attack Position. Starlight activates her face-down "Celestial Ursa Minor" to Special Summon four "Ursa Minor Tokens" (0/0) in Defense Position. Since a Spell Card was activated, the second effect of "Des Volstgalph" activates, increasing its ATK by 200 until the End Phase ("Des Volstgalph": 2200 → 2400/1700). "Des Volstgalph" attacks and destroys an "Ursa Minor Token". Since "Des Volstgalph" destroyed a monster by battle, its first effect activates, inflicting 500 damage to Starlight (Starlight 4000 → 3500). He then Sets a card.

**Turn 3: Starlight**

Starlight draws. She then activates "Celestial Ursa Major" to Tribute her remaining "Ursa Major Tokens" and Special Summon an "Ursa Major Token" (?/?) in Attack Position ("Des Volstgalph": 2200 → 2400/1700). Due to the effect of the "Ursa Major Token", it gains 800 ATK and DEF for every Tributed "Ursa Minor Token" ("Ursa Major Token": ? → 2400/? → 2400). She then Normal Summons "Celestial Spirit Libra" (900/900) in Attack Position. Since "Libra" is in Attack Position, its effect reduces its DEF to 0 and increases its ATK by the same amount ("Libra": 900 → 1800/900 → 0). She then finds and activates the Action Card "Skill Share" to negate the effects of "Libra" and grant them to the "Ursa Major Token" until the End Phase ("Libra": 1800 → 900/0 → 900; "Ursa Major Token": 2400 → 4800/2400 → 0; "Des Volstgalph": 2400 → 2600/1700). The "Ursa Major Token" attacks "Des Volstgalph", but Spike activates his face-down "Stepping Down for the Future Generations" to Tribute "Des Volstgalph" and Special Summon two Dragon-Type monsters from his Deck whose combined Levels equal the Level of the Tributed monster. He Special Summons "Ember Dragon" (1200/1100) and "Flame Banner Dracokid" (1100/1100) in Defense Position. A replay occurs and the "Ursa Major Token" attacks and destroys "Ember Dragon". Since "Ember Dragon" was destroyed by battle, its effect activates, Special Summoning two "Ember Tokens" (0/0) in Defense Position. "Libra" attacks and destroys an "Ember Token".

**Turn 4: Spike**

Spike draws. He then Normal Summons "Heat Wing Dragon" (300/200) in Attack Position. He then tunes the Level 3 "Flame Banner Dracokid" and the Level 1 "Ember Token" with the Level 1 Tuner monster "Heat Wing Dragon" in order to Synchro Summon "Flame Hunter Dragon" (2300/1300) in Attack Position. Since "Heat Wing Dragon" was used for a Synchro Summon, its effect activates, increasing the ATK of "Flame Hunter Dragon" by 500 ("Flame Hunter Dragon": 2300 → 2800/1300). "Flame Hunter Dragon" attacks "Libra", but Starlight activates her face-down "Interception" to redirect the attack to the "Ursa Major Token", destroying it instead (Starlight 3500 → 3100). Since a LIGHT monster was destroyed by battle, Starlight activates her face-down "Starlight Ride" to Special Summon two or more LIGHT monsters from her Deck whose combined Levels equal to the destroyed monster's Level. She Special Summons "Celestial Spirit Scorpio" (1800/600) and "Celestial Spirit Aries" (1400/900) in Attack Position.

**Turn 5: Starlight**

Starlight draws. She then activates the effect of "Aries" to look at the top three cards of her Deck, send all "Celestial Spirit" monsters among them and Special Summon "Wool Tokens" up to the number of monsters sent. She sends two, so she Special Summons two "Wool Tokens" (300/300 each) in Attack Position. She then activates the effect of "Scorpio" to reduce the ATK of "Flame Hunter Dragon" by 200 for every "Celestial Spirit" monster she controls ("Flame Hunter Dragon": 2300 → 1700/1300). "Scorpio" attacks and destroys "Flame Hunter Dragon" (Spike 4000 → 3900). Spike finds and activates the Action Card "Reflective Guardian" to Special Summon two "Reflection Tokens" in Attack Position with their Levels becoming equal to the Level of the destroyed monster and their ATK and DEF increased by their Levels x200 (1000/1000 each). "Libra" attacks and destroys a "Reflection Token" (Spike 3900 → 3100). "Aries" attacks and destroys the remaining "Reflection Tokens" (Spike 3100 → 2700). Both "Wool Tokens" attack directly (Spike 2700 → 2400 → 2100). She then Sets a card.

**Turn 6: Spike**

Spike draws. He then activates the effect of the "Flame Banner Dracokid" in his Extra Deck, sending it to the Graveyard to add two Dragon-Type monsters from his Deck to his hand. He adds "Flame Breaker Dragon" and "Flame Core Dragon". He then activates "Flame Breaker Dragon" (Left 1) and "Flame Core Dragon" (Right 8) in his Pendulum Zones. He then Pendulum Summons "Scorcher Dragon" (1200/700) from his hand and "Flame Hunter Dragon" (2300/1300) from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. Since "Flame Hunter Dragon" was Pendulum Summoned, its effect activates, destroying all Spells and Traps Starlight controls. Since "Gravity Well" was destroyed by a card effect, its effect activates, switching all monsters on the field to Defense Position. He then tunes the Level 5 "Flame Hunter Dragon" with the Level 3 Tuner monster "Scorcher Dragon" in order to Synchro Summon "Dragonic Blazemaster" (3000/2000) in Attack Position. Starlight finds an unknown Action Trap, which inflicts 200 damage to Starlight every time a monster she controls is destroyed by battle. "Dragonic Blazemaster" attacks and destroys "Scorpio" (Starlight 3100 → 2900). Since "Dragonic Blazemaster" destroyed a monster by battle, its effect activates, allowing it to attack again, but the Battle Damage is halved. This continues and destroys every monster Starlight controls (Starlight 2900 → 2100). He then Sets a card.

**Turn 7: Starlight**

Starlight draws. She then activates "Magical Mallet" to shuffle all cards in her hand into her Deck and draw the same amount. She then activates "Celestial Device Sextans" to revive "Celestial Spirit Pisces" (2000/500) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to halve its ATK ("Pisces": 2000 → 1000/500) and allow it to attack twice this turn. She then activates "Reverse Polarity" to swap the ATK of "Dragonic Blazemaster" and "Pisces" ("Dragonic Blazemaster": 3000 → 1000/2000; "Pisces": 1000 → 3000/500). "Pisces" attacks "Dragonic Blazemaster", but Spike finds and activates the Action Card "Evasion" to negate the attack. Spike activates his face-down "Shrink" to halve the ATK of "Pisces" ("Pisces": 3000 → 1500/500). "Pisces" attacks and destroys "Dragonic Blazemaster" (Spike 2400 → 1900).

**Turn 8: Spike**

He then activates "Monster Reborn" to revive "Dragonic Blazemaster" (3000/2000) in Attack Position. Starlight finds and activates the Action Card "Draw Score" to look at the top five cards of her Deck, set all Traps and Quick-Play Spell Cards on the field and activate them while the rest are sent to the Graveyard. She Sets four cards. He then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Flame Breaker Dragon" to pay 400 Life Points (Spike 1900 → 1500), banish "Armoured Wyvern" from his hand and Special Summon "Peewee Dragon" (300/100) and "Magna Drago" (1400/600) from his Deck in Attack Position. He then tunes the Level 8 "Dragonic Blazemaster" with the Level 2 Tuner monsters "Peewee Dragon" and "Magna Drago" in order to Synchro Summon "Dragonic Blazemaster Inferno Legend" (3500/3000) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Inferno Legend", it gains 300 ATK for every Dragon-Type monster in Spike's Graveyard. There are currently nine ("Inferno Legend": 3500 → 6200/3000).

"Flame Hunter Dragon" attacks "Pisces", but Starlight activates her face-down "Starlight Veil" to negate three attacks this turn. "Inferno Legend" attacks "Pisces", but the attack is negated via "Starlight Veil". He then activates the final effect of "Inferno Legend" to banish 1 Tuner monster from his Graveyard and allow it to attack again. "Inferno Legend" attacks "Pisces", but the attack is negated via "Starlight Veil". He then activates the final effect of "Inferno Legend" to banish one Tuner monster from his Graveyard and allow it to attack again. "Inferno Legend" attacks "Pisces", but Starlight activates her face-down "Celestial Device Scutum" to negate the attack and equip it to "Pisces", switching it to Defense Position and increasing its DEF by 500 ("Pisces": 2000/500 → 1000). He then activates the effect of "Inferno Legend" to banish one Tuner monster from his Graveyard and allow it to attack again. "Inferno Legend" attacks and destroys "Pisces". He then activates the effect of "Inferno Legend" to banish one Tuner monster from his Graveyard and allow it to attack again. "Inferno Legend" attacks directly, but Starlight activates her face-down "Celestial Spirit Ophiuchus" to Special Summon itself (1700/1000) in Defense Position. A replay occurs and "Inferno Legend" attacks and destroys "Ophiuchus". Since "Ophiuchus" was destroyed by battle, its effect activates, equipping itself to "Inferno Legend". Now during each of Starlight's Standby Phase, "Inferno Legend" will lose 100 ATK for every "Celestial Spirit" monster in Starlight's Graveyard. Starlight activates her face-down "Starlight Beacon" to Special Summon "Celestial Spirit Gemini" (1000/1000) from her hand in Attack Position. Due to its effect, it can be treated as two Tributes for the Tribute Summon of a LIGHT monster.

**Turn 9: Starlight**

Starlight draws. During the Standby Phase, the effect of "Inferno Legend" activates ("Inferno Legend": 5000 → 4300/3000). She then activates "Celestial Device Circunis" to add "Celestial Spirit Leo" from her Deck to her hand. She then Tributes "Gemini" in order to Tribute Summon "Celestial Spirit Leo" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. He then equips "Leo" with "Celestial Weapon Orion's Sword", increasing its ATK by 1000 ("Leo": 2500 → 3500/2000). If the equipped monster destroys a monster by battle, Starlight can inflict 100 damage to Spike for every "Celestial Spirit" monster in her Graveyard. Due to the effect of "Leo", it gains 200 ATK for every "Celestial Spirit" monster in Starlight's Graveyard. There are currently seven ("Leo": 3500 → 4900/2000). She then activates its second effect to look at the top five cards of her Deck and send all "Celestial Spirit" monsters among them to the Graveyard. She sends two ("Leo": 4900 → 5300/2000). "Leo" attacks and destroys "Inferno Legend" (Spike 1500 → 500). The effect of "Orion's Sword" activates (Spike 500 → 0).
