"Dark Magician" attacks directly, but Syrus activates his face-down "Power Wall" to send the top 28 cards of his Deck to the Graveyard and negate the Battle Damage. He then Sets a card.

**Turn 3: Syrus**

Syrus draws. He then activates "Cyberdark Impact" to return "Cyberdark Horn", "Cyberdark Edge" and "Cyberdark Keel" from his Graveyard to his Deck in order to Fusion Summon "Cyberdark Dragon" (1000/1000) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Cyberdark Dragon", its ATK increases by 100 for each card in Syrus's Graveyard. There are currently 16 ("Cyberdark Dragon": 1000 → 2600/1000). Syrus then activates the first effect of "Cyberdark Dragon" to take "Dragonroid" from his Graveyard and equip it to "Cyberdark Dragon", increasing the latter's ATK by the ATK of "Cyber End Dragon" ("Cyberdark Dragon": 2600 → 5500/1000). "Cyberdark Dragon" attacks "Dark Magician Girl", but Yami Yugi activates his face-down "Magic Cylinder" to negate the attack and inflict damage to Syrus equal to the ATK of "Cyberdark Dragon", however Syrus activates his face-down "Fusion Guard" to send "Cyber End Dragon" from his Extra Deck to the Graveyard and negate the effect of "Magic Cylinder". "Cyberdark Dragon" then destroys "Dark Magician Girl" (Yami Yugi 4000 → 1000). Syrus then activates "Remove Bomb" to remove from play the top five cards of his Deck and inflict 300 damage to Yami Yugi for each monster removed this way. He banishes three (Yami Yugi 1000 → 100).

**Turn 4: Yami Yugi**

Yami Yugi draws "Pot of Greed" and subsequently activates it to draw two cards. He then activates "Thousand Knives" to destroy "Cyberdark Dragon". "Dark Magician" attacks directly, but Syrus activates the second effect of "Kiteroid" from his Graveyard to reduce the Battle Damage he would take to 0. He then Sets a card.

**Turn 5: Syrus**

Syrus draws. Syrus then activates "Spell Economics". Now Syrus does not have to pay Life Points to activate a Spell Card while "Spell Economics" is face-up. He then activates "Dimension Fusion" (Due to "Spell Economics", Syrus does not have to pay 2000 Life Points to activate it) to Special Summon "Cyberdark Keel" (800/800), "Cyberdark Horn" (800/800) and "Cyberdark Edge" (800/800) from his Removed from Play Zone in Attack Position. He then activates his face-down "Rebirth Judgment" and declares Dragon for its effect. Now, all monsters in either player's Graveyard are treated as the declared type as long as "Rebirth Judgment" is face-up. Syrus then activates "Power Bond" to fuse his three Cyberdark monsters together and Fusion Summon "Cyberdark Dragon" (1000/1000) in Attack Position. Due to the second effect of "Power Bond", "Cyberdark Dragon's" ATK is doubled ("Cyberdark Dragon": 1000 → 2000/1000). The third effect of "Cyberdark Dragon" is then applied and there are currently nine monsters in Syrus's Graveyard ("Cyberdark Dragon": 2000 → 4100/1000). Syrus then activates the first effect of "Cyberdark Dragon" to take "Cyber End Dragon" from his Graveyard and equip it to "Cyberdark Dragon", increasing the latter's ATK by the ATK of "Cyber End Dragon" ("Cyberdark Dragon": 4100 → 8100/1000). "Cyberdark Dragon" attacks "Dark Magician", but Yugi activates his face-down "The Regulation of Tribe" by declaring "Machine" for its effect. As a result, "Cyberdark Dragon" can't attack while "The Regulation of Tribe" is face-up. Also during each of Yugi's Standby Phases, he must Tribute one monster to keep "The Regulation of Tribe" on the field or else it will be destroyed. On Syrus' End Phase, the final effect of "Power Bond" activates (Syrus 2700 → 1700).

Due to the effect of "Dark Paladin", it gains 500 ATK for each Dragon-Type monster on the field and in both players' Graveyards. There are currently no Dragon-type monsters on the field and 21 in Syrus' Graveyard ("Dark Paladin": 2900 → 14400/2400). "Dark Paladin" attacks and destroys "Cyberdark Dragon" (Syrus 1700 → 0).
