Featured Duel: Aster Phoenix vs. Sartorius[]
Duel continues from the previous episode.
Aster has 900 Life Points remaining and controls no cards.
Sartorius has 3500 Life Points remaining and controls "Arcana Force XXI - The World" (3100/3100) in Attack Position. He also controls one set card.
Turn 7: Aster
Aster draws "Doctor D" and subsequently activates it to remove from play "Destiny Hero - Defender" from his Graveyard and Special Summon "Destiny Hero - Disk Commander" from his Graveyard (300/300) in Defense Position. Since "Disk Commander" was Special Summoned from Aster's Graveyard, its effect activates, allowing Aster to draw two cards (one of which "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord").
Aster then Normal Summons "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord" (600/800) in Defense Position. He then activates the effect of "Doom Lord" to remove Sartorius' "Arcana Force XXI - The World" from play for two turns at the cost of not being allowed to attack this turn.[Notes 1] Aster then activates "D - Formation". Now if a "Destiny Hero" monster on Aster's side of the field is destroyed, Aster can place a D Counter on "D - Formation". If Aster summons a monster while "D - Formation" has two or more D Counters, Aster can send "D - Formation" to the Graveyard and add two or more copies of the summoned monster from his Deck to his hand.
Turn 8: Sartorius
Sartorius draws. He then activates "Necro Sacrifice" to target the "Arcana Force XV - The Fiend" in his hand and Special Summon "Arcana Force IV - The Emperor" (1400/1400) and "Arcana Force III - The Empress" (1300/1300) to Aster's side of the field with Aster choosing to summon both monsters in Defense Position. Due to the last effect of "Necro Sacrifice", Sartorius can Normal Summon the targeted monster without Tributing this turn. Since "The Empress" and "The Emperor" were summoned, they begin to rotate. Both monsters land upside down (Coin Toss Result: Tails), so if Sartorius summons a monster, Aster has to send one card from his hand to the Graveyard (Tails effect of "The Empress") and all Arcana Force monsters on Aster's side of the field lose 500 ATK (Tails effect of "The Emperor") ("Arcana Force III - The Empress": 1300 → 800 ATK; "Arcana Force IV - The Emperor": 1400 → 900 ATK).
Sartorius then Normal Summons "Arcana Force XV - The Fiend" without Tributing (2500/2500) in Attack Position. Since "The Fiend" was summoned, it begins to rotate. It lands upright (Coin Toss Result: Heads), so when "The Fiend" attacks, one of Aster's monsters will be destroyed and Aster will take 500 damage. The Tails effect of "Arcana Force III - The Empress" then activates and Aster sends "D - Burst" from his hand to the Graveyard. "Arcana Force XV - The Fiend" attacks and destroys "Arcana Force IV - The Emperor" ("The Empress": 800 → 1300 ATK). Sartorius then activates the Heads effect of "The Fiend" to destroy "Doom Lord" (Aster: 900 → 400 LP). The effect of "D - Formation" activates, giving itself a D Counter ("D - Formation": 0 → 1 D Counter).
Turn 9: Aster
Aster draws. He then Tributes "Destiny Hero - Disk Commander" in order to Tribute Summon "Destiny Hero - Dasher" (2100/1000) in Attack Position. Aster then Tributes "Arcana Force III - The Empress" in order to activate the effect of "Dasher", increasing the latter's ATK by 1000 ("Dasher": 2100 → 3100 ATK). "Dasher" attacks and destroys "The Fiend" (Sartorius: 3500 → 2900 LP). Since "Dasher" attacked, it switches to Defense Position at the end of the Battle Phase due to its second effect. On Aster's End Phase, the effect of "Dasher" expires ("Dasher": 3100 → 2100 ATK).
Turn 10: Sartorius
Sartorius draws "Reverse Reborn" and subsequently activates it to Special Summon "Arcana Force XV - The Fiend" (2500/2500) from his Graveyard in Attack Position with its Tails effect automatically applied. Due to the Tails effect of "The Fiend", when it attacks, all monsters on the field will be destroyed. "The Fiend" attacks "Dasher". Sartorius then activates the Tails effect of "The Fiend" to destroy all monsters on the field. "D - Formation" then gains a second D Counter ("D - Formation": 1 → 2 D Counters). Sartorius then Sets a card.
Turn 11: Aster
Aster draws. On Aster's Standby Phase, "Arcana Force XXI - The World" is returned to Sartorius' side of the field (3100/3100) in Attack Position due to the effect of "Doom Lord". Aster then Normal Summons "D3" (0/0) in Attack Position. Since Aster summoned a monster. he activates the second effect of "D - Formation", sending the latter card to the Graveyard ("D - Formation": 2 → 0 D Counters) in order to add 2 copies of "D3" from his Deck to his hand. Aster then activates the effect of "D3", sending the two copies of "D3" in his hand to the Graveyard in order to treat the "D3" on the field as three Tributes for the summon of a "Destiny Hero" monster.
Aster then Tributes "D3" in order to Special Summon "Destiny Hero - Plasma" (1900/600) in Attack Position. He then activates the effect of "Destiny Hero - Plasma", equipping itself with "Arcana Force XXI - The World", increasing its ATK by half the ATK of "The World", and gaining all the effects of "The World" ("Plasma": 1900 → 3450 ATK).[Notes 2]
Aster then activates "D - Force" and places the latter face-up on the top of his Deck. Now, Aster must skip all of his Draw Phases each turn, but in exchange, all face-up Effect Monsters on Sartorius' side of the field will have their effects negated and "Destiny Hero - Plasma" is granted immunity to Sartorius' Spell and Trap Cards. "Plasma" attacks directly, but Sartorius discards "Arcana Force XIV - Temperance" from his hand via its own effect in order to take no Battle Damage from the battle. Aster then activates the effect of "D - Burst" from his Graveyard. removing it from play in order to decrease the ATK of "Destiny Hero - Plasma" by 1000 ("Plasma": 3450 → 2450 ATK) and allow it to attack twice during this Battle Phase.
