Now we’re at table 1 in Round 3 of the ARG Metro Series Montreal, looks like we’ve got a Dragon Ruler mirror match upon us!
Matthew wins the die roll and starts the duel with the following hand: Debris x2, Tempest x2, Maxx C, Trap Stun. He starts by discarding two Tempests to add a Redox to his hand. He sets one card to his backrow and passes his turn. Marc banishes Tidal for Sacred Sword, draws two and uses Tidal’s effect to search itself. He discards Tempest and Debris Dragon and adds a Blaster to his hand. With Blaster, he discards Trigon and itself to pop Mathew’s set trap stun. He then summons a Fossil Dyna and sets one backrow. Matthew draws a card, sets a Debris Dragon and passes turn to Marc. Marc attack the set Debris with Fossil Dyna, taking 800 life points and passes turn. Matthew draws Bottomless Trap hole and passes turn.
Marc draws a card, sets a backrow and sends his turn back to Matt. Both players draw and set cards until finally Marc banishes his second Tidal for Sacred Sword, drawing two and searching for another Tidal once again. Marc then discards Corsesca and Tempest to add a Blaster, which he discards with a Flamvell Guard to pop Matt’s Debris, before attacking directly. Matt draws a card and sets his other Debris, which Marc attacks into next turn. When we get back to Matt’s turn, he draws and activates a Sacred Sword of Seven Stars, banishing Redox, drawing two, searching a Redox and setting a card before ending. Marc has another passive turn and Matt uses another Sacred Sword on another Redox, not using its search effect this time. Marc draws and activates his Upstart Goblin, drawing another card and giving Matt another 1000 life points. His Dyna then attacks into Matt’s set Flamvell Guard, reducing his own life points by another 800.
Back on Matt’s turn, he activates Dragon Ravine, with which he discards Tidal to add a Dragunity Corsesca to his hand. Matt then discards two Blasters to finally destroy Marc’s Fossil Dyna. He then summons Tidal by banishing Debris and Tempest and searches for another Tempest. At this point life is 6600 to 5600 in favor of Matt, who then synchro summons for a Stardust Dragon using Guard and Tidal. Since Redox was the only Dragon Ruler still unused this turn, Matt discards it and Kidmodo Dragon to summon Blaster from the grave, not activating Kidmodo’s effect and having Maxx C chained to the effect to summon. Matt then uses Debris and Blaster to make a Star Eater. PWWB was activated upon ending main phase to target Star Eater but Trap Stun was used in response. Marc responds with another PWWB, this time targeting Stardust Dragon and successfully returning it to extra deck. Matt attacks directly for 3200 with Star Eater and ends his turn.
Marc draws and activates Dragon Ravine, before looking at his graveyard to decide what to do. He decided not to use Ravine for anything before banishing Dyna and Debris to summon Redox in defense position and setting one to the backrow, Matt responds with a Raigeki Break to destroy it.
Matt starts his turn by banishing Kidmodo and Debris for Blaster’s summon and then Maxx C and Guard for Redox’s summon. He normal summons a Corsesca and uses it and Redox for the synchro summon of Stardust Dragon. He then banishes Corsesca and Blaster from grave for Tempest’s summon before overlaying it with Blaster for a Dracossack, when Marc says “yup..” and scoops it up.
