## Featured Duel: Shining Armor vs. Midnight Sparkle

**Turn 1: Shining**

Shining draws. He then activates "Royal Paladin Grace Bringer" (Left 2) and "Royal Paladin Tactician" (Right 7) in his Penduum Zones. He then Pendulum Summons "Royal Paladin of Virtuous Blades" (2100/1000) from his hand in Attack Position. He then Sets a card.

**Turn 2: Midnight**

Midnight draws. She then activates "Disharmony Summons" to add "Disharmian Midnight Archangel" from her Deck to her hand. She then activates "Disharmian of Deceit" (Left 2) and "Disharmian of Greed" (Right 9) in her Pendulum Zones. She then Pendulum Summons "Disharmian Midnight Archangel" (3000/2500) from her hand in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to discard a monster and add "Zenith Dragon of Chaotic Darkness Granebris" from her Deck to her hand. She then Sets two cards. "Midnight Archangel" attacks and destroys 'Virtuous Blades" (Shining 4000 → 3100). On Midnight's End Phase, the effect of "Disharmony Summons" activates, inflicting 1000 damage to Midnight (Midnight 4000 → 3000).

**Turn 3: Shining**

Shining draws. He then Normal Summons "Royal Paladin Regal Mage Apprentice" (500/300) in Attack Position. He then Pendulum Summons "Virtuous Blades" (2100/1000) from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. He then tunes the Level 2 Tuner monster "Regal Mage Apprentice" with the Level 5 "Virtuous Blades" in order to Synchro Summon "Royal Paladin Commander" (2500/2100) in Attack Position. Since "Regal Mage Apprentice" was used for a Synchro Summon, its effect activates, allowing Shining to add a Spell Card from his Deck to his hand. He adds "Dimensional Spear". He then equips "Commander" with "Dimensional Spear", increasing its ATK by 700 ("Commander": 2500 → 3200/2100). "Commander" attacks and destroys "Midnight Archangel" (Midnight 3000 → 2800). Since "Commander" destroyed a monster in battle, the effect of "Dimensional Spear" activates, banishing "Midnight Archangel". Midnight activates her face-down "Parallel Counterpart" to add another copy of "Midnight Archangel" from her Deck to her hand.

**Turn 4: Midnight**

Midnight draws. She then Pendulum Summons "Midnight Archangel" (3000/2500) from her hand in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to discard "Granebris" and add "Zenith Dragon of Bottomless Oceans Fabulaqua" from her Deck to her hand. She then activates "Dark Nullifier" to negate the effects of "Dimensional Spear" ("Commander": 3200 → 2500/2100). "Midnight Archangel" attacks and destroys "Commander" (Shining 3100 → 2600).

**Turn 5: Shining**

Shining draws. He then Pendulum Summons "Virtuous Blades" (2100/1000) from his Extra Deck in Defense Position. Midnight activates her face-down "Coward's Punishment". Now all monsters are switched to Attack Position and must attack or be destroyed during the End Phase. He then activates "Intense Light" to increase the ATK of all LIGHT monsters on the field by 500 until the End Phase ("Virtuous Blades": 2100 → 2600/1000) and reduce the ATK of all DARK monsters on the field by 500 ("Midnight Archangel": 3000 → 2500/2500). "Virtuous Blades" attacks and destroys "Midnight Archangel" (Midnight 2800 → 2700).

**Turn 6: Midnight**

Midnight draws. She then Pendulum Summons "Midnight Archangel" (3000/2500) from her Extra Deck in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to discard "Fabulaqua" and add "Zenith Dragon of Unbreakable Continents Greaterra" from her Deck to her hand. "Midnight Archangel" attacks and destroys "Virtuous Blades" (Shining 2600 → 1700). She then Sets a card.

**Turn 7: Shining**

Shining draws. He then Normal Summons "Royal Paladin of Future Potential Llew" (100/100) in Attack Position. He then activates the effect of the "Virtuous Blades" in his GY, sending it to the GY to revive "Regal Mage Apprentice" (500/300) in Attack Position. He then tunes the Level 1 "Future Potential Llew" with the Level 2 Tuner monster "Regal Mage Apprentice" in order to Synchro Summon "Royal Palaidn Glorious Mage" (1200/700) in Attack Position. The effect of "Regal Mage Apprentice" activates, allowing Shining to add "Monster Reborn". He then activates "Monster Reborn" to revive "Commander" (2500/2100) in Attack Position. He then tunes the Level 3 Synchro Tuner monster "Glorious Mage" with the Level 7 Synchro Monster "Commander" in order to Accel Synchro Summon "Royal Paladin Grand Emperor" (3500/2500) in Attack Position.

Due to the effect of "Grand Emperor", it can attack up to a number of times equal to the number of Tuner monsters in Shining's GY. There are currently two, so it can attack twice. "Grand Emperor" attacks and destroys "Midnight Archangel" (Midnight 2700 → 2200). "Grand Emperor" attacks directly, but Midnight activates her face-down "Damage Diet" to halve the Battle Damage (Midnight 2200 → 450).

**Turn 8: Midnight**

Midnight draws. She then Pendulum Summons "Midnight Archangel" (3000/2500) from her Extra Deck in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to discard "Greaterra" and add "Omega Deity of Destruction Zeronull" from her Deck to her hand. She then banishes "Granebris", "Fabulaqua" and "Greaterra" from her GY in order to Special Summon "Zeronull" (0/0) in Attack Position.
