Featured Duel: Flash Sentry vs. Midnight Sparkle
 Turn 1: Flash 

Flash draws. He then Normal Summons "Reflector Scale Magna Snake" (1600/1300) in Attack Position. He then Sets a card.

 Turn 2: Midnight 

Midnight draws. She then Normal Summons "Disharmian of Betrayal" (1700/1400) in Attack Position. "Disharmian of Betrayal" attacks and destroys "Magna Snake" (Flash 4000 → 3900). She then Sets a card.

 Turn 3: Flash 

Flash draws. He then activates "Magna Caster Ratio" (Left 1) and "Nightlight Magna Sheep" (Right 9) in his Pendulum Zones. He then Pendulum Summons "Magna Snake" (1600/1300) and from his Extra Deck and "Shining Fang Magna Wolf" (1500/1200) from his hand in Attack Position. He then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Magna Sheep" to fuse "Magna Snake" with "Magna Sheep" in order to Fusion Summon "Magna Beast Feral Lindwurm" (2300/2100) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to send "Magna Snake" from her Extra Deck to the Graveyard and destroy Midnight's face-down. He then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Ratio" to look at the top three cards, banish "Aura Pulse Magna Rat" among them and increase the ATK of "Feral Lindwurm" by the banished monster's Level x200 ("Feral Lindwurm": 2300 → 2500/2100). "Feral Lindwurm" attacks and destroys "Disharmian of Betrayal" (Midnight 4000 → 3200). Since "Disharmian of Betrayal" was destroyed by battle, its effect activates, allowing Midnight to take control of "Feral Lindwurm". He then Sets a card.

 Turn 4: Midnight 

Midnight draws. She then Normal Summons "Disharmian of Misery" (1000/1000) in Attack Position. She then activates "Raging Greed Dragon" (Left 2) and "Dark Abyss Owl" (Right 9) in her Pendulum Zones. She then Pendulum Summons "Disharmian of Betrayal" (1700/1400) from her Extra Deck in Defense Position. "Feral Lindwurm" attacks directly, but Flash activates his face-down "Defense Draw" to reduce the Battle Damage to 0 and draw one card. "Disharmian of Misery" attacks directly (Flash 3900 → 2900). She then Sets two cards.

 Turn 5: Flash 

Flash draws. He then activates "Starburst Reload" to banish "Shining Fang Magna Wolf" from his Graveyard and draw four cards. He then Pendulum Summons "Star Fang Magna Tiger" (2400/2100) and "Bright Bounce Magna Bunny" (1200/600) from his hand in Attack Position. He then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Ratio" to target "Magna Tiger", look at the top three cards of his Deck and banish Level 4 "Magna Fighter Gun Runner" among them ("Magna Tiger": 2400 → 3200/2100). "Magna Tiger" attacks and destroys "Feral Lindwurm" (Midnight 3200 → 2300). Since "Magna Tiger" destroyed a monster by battle, its effect activates, banishing "Disharmian of Betrayal", but Midnight activates her face-down "Disharmony Circle" to make her monsters immune to card effects this turn. "Magna Bunny" attacks and destroys "Disharmian of Misery" (Midnight 2300 → 2100). He then Sets a card.

 Turn 6: Midnight 

She then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Dark Abyss Owl" to add "Disharmony Regrouping" from her Deck to her hand instead of conducting her normal draw. She then activates "Disharmony Regrouping" to prevent "Disharmian of Betrayal" from attacking this turn and draw cards equal to its Level. "Betrayal" is Level 4, so she draws four cards. She then Normal Summons "Disharmian of Deceit" (1800/1200) in Attack Position. She then Pendulum Summons "Misery" (1000/1000) from her Extra Deck and "Disharmian of Greed" (1300/1700) from her hand in Attack Position. She then activates the effect of "Misery" to reduce the ATK of all monsters Flash controls by their individual Levels x100 ("Magna Tiger": 2400 → 1700/2100; "Magna Bunny": 1200 → 900/600). "Deceit" attacks and destroys "Magna Tiger" (Flash 2900 → 2800). She then Sets a card. She then activates "Disharmony Rejuvenation" to increase her LP by the number of "Disharmian" monsters she controls x300 (Midnight 2300 → 3500).

 Turn 7: Flash 

Flash draws. He then Normal Summons "Neo Lightspeed Dragon" (1700/1100) in Attack Position. He then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Ratio" to target "Magna Bunny", look at the top three cards and banish "Charge Horn Magna Bull" ("Magna Bunny": 1200 → 2400/600). "Magna Bunny" attacks and destroys "Deceit" (Midnight 3500 → 2900). "Neo Lightspeed Dragon" attacks and destroys "Betrayal". Due to the effect of "Neo Lightspeed Dragon", it negates the effects of the monsters it battles. Midnight activates her face-down "Disharmony Replacement" to add "Disharmian of Cruelty" from her Deck to her hand. He then tunes the Level 4 "Neo Lightspeed Dragon" with the Level 3 Tuner monster "Magna Bunny" in order to Synchro Summon "Flashback Dragon" (2300/2200) in Attack Position.

 Turn 8: Midnight 

Midnight draws. She then Pendulum Summons "Betrayal" (1700/1400) and "Deceit" (1800/1200) from her Extra Deck and "Disharmian of Cruelty" (1200/1100) from her hand in Defense Position. Since "Cruelty" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, inflicting damage to Flash for every card in his hand x100. Flash has two (Flash 2800 → 2600). She then equips "Greed" with "Disharmony Shield", granting it the ability of "Superheavy Samurai" monsters, i.e. the ability to attack while in Defense Position with its DEF applied instead of its ATK. She then activates "Disharmony Brace" to increase the DEF of "Greed" by 300 for every other "Disharmian" monster on the field ("Greed": 1300/1700 → 2900). She then switches "Misery" to Attack Position. "Greed" attacks and destroys "Flashback Dragon" (Flash 2600 → 2000). "Misery" attacks directly, but Flash activates his face-down "Beacon of Hope" to draw one card. If it's a monster, then he can Special Summon it. He draws "Glow Claw Magna Chimp", so he Special Summons it (1800/600) in Attack Position. A replay occurs and Midnight chooses not to attack.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Turn 9: Flash 

<p style="text-align:center;">Flash draws. He then Pendulum Summons "Spino-Gear Magna Saur" (2100/1500) from his hand in Attack Position. "Magna Saur" attacks "Misery", but Midnight activates the second effect of "Disharmony Shield", sending it to the Graveyard to switch "Misery" to Defense Position. "Magna Saur" then destroys "Misery". He then activates the effect of "Magna Saur" to banish the top two cards of his Deck and allow it to attack again. "Magna Saur" attacks and destroys "Cruelty".

She then Pendulum Summons "Misery" (1000/1000) and "Cruelty" (1200/1100) from her Extra Deck in Attack Position. The effect of "Cruelty" activates (Flash 2000 → 1900).
