## Featured Duel: Blue Angel vs. Baira

The Duel is conducted as a Speed Duel.

**Turn 1: Blue Angel**

Blue Angel activates the Field Magic Card "Trickstar Lightstage". Upon activation, she can add a "Trickstar" monster from her Deck to her hand. Blue Angel adds "Trickstar Lilybell". As "Lilybell" was added to Blue Angel's hand using a method other than drawing, Blue Angel activates its effect, Special Summoning it (800/2000).

Blue Angel Normal Summons "Trickstar Nightshade" (100/0). Blue Angel uses "Lilybell" and "Nightshade" to Link Summon "Trickstar Holly Angel" (2000/LINK-2/↙↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Nightshade" was used as a Link Material for the Link Summon of a "Trickstar" monster, Blue Angel activates its effect, Special Summoning it from the Graveyard. She Special Summons it to the bottom-left Next to the Link of "Holly Angel" (100/0). As a "Trickstar" monster was Normal or Special Summoned to a zone "Holly Angel" points to, its effect activates, inflicting 200 damage to Baira (Baira: 4000 → 3800 LP). As a "Trickstar" monster inflicted battle or effect damage, "Light Stage" inflicts an additional 200 damage to Baira (Baira: 3800 → 3600 LP). Blue Angel Sets a card.

**Turn 2: Baira**

As there is a Field Magic Card present on the field, Baira activates the effect of "Dark Mummy Sonde" in her hand, Special Summoning it (700/0), then destroying a Field Magic Card. She destroys "Light Stage". Baira then Normal Summons another "Sonde" (700/0). Baira Sets a card. She then activates the Continuous Magic Card "Temple of the Royal Family", which allows her to activate a Trap Card the turn it was Set once per turn. She can also send it and a "Holy Beast Serket" to the GY to Special Summon a monster from her hand or Deck or a Fusion Monster from her Extra Deck. Baira activates her face-down Trap Card "- Current - Hack Virus‎", Releasing a DARK monster with 0 DEF to negate the effects of all monsters Blue Angel controls with 2000 or less DEF and reduce their ATK to 0 for the next three turns. She Releases "Zombie" ("Nightshade": 100 → 0 ATK). Link Monsters do not have DEF, hence "Holly Angel" is unaffected by the effect of "- Current - Hack Virus‎". Baira activates the Instant Magic Card "Monster Restitch", Releasing a "Dark Mummy" monster she controls to Special Summon 3 "Dark Mummy Tokens". She Releases "Sonde". Baira uses the 3 "Dark Mummy Tokens" to Link Summon "Dark Mummy Surgical Cooper" (2400/LINK-3/↙↑→) to the Extra Monster Zone.

"Surgical Cooper" attacks "Holly Angel", but Blue Angel activates the Continuous Trap Card "Trickstar Perennial", sending a "Trickstar" monster to the Graveyard to prevent the destruction of a "Trickstar" monster by battle until the end of this turn. She sends "Nightshade" to the Graveyard to prevent "Holly Angel" from being destroyed by battle. The attack continues (Blue Angel: 4000 → 3600 LP).

Duel continues in the next episode.
