Arena Side
Kaiba: Thank you for that Carly.

Jack: Ever dependable but althought they are random mathes added, we see a sort of theme here. We got the rare top seed going against bottom seeders. The grudge matches and the first time matches. Then we get the start of the Tag Force tournament before we get to the main event.

Joey: This will be quite the card! But let's go back to our announcer for the next match

Announcer: This next match is a ranked duel!

https://youtu.be/AZUfYiaEcuY

Announcer: First, Wallace (Rank 11; 2-1)

Joey: The master of the Phantom Knights

Jack: I know he's got a hidden power there but we shall see it first hand

https://youtu.be/XQE0oY3sFQ4

Announcer: and his opponent, Wolfe (Rank 12; 2-1)!

Kaiba: Even if he is one of the old guard, this one has been known to be wily and crafty as well as ferocious

Joey: The man can swarm and ambush!

Jack: Now we see the two with similar records, per the decision of both duelists, Wallace will go first.

Announcer: Let the duel begin!

Turn 1 (Wallace 8000; Wolfe 8000)
Wallace's Main Phase 1

Wallace: I end my turn

Jack: No cards on the field? Is he crazy?

Kaiba: Maybe a big part of his strategy

Turn 2 (Wallace 8000; Wolfe 8000)
Wolfe's Draw Phase then Main Phase 1

Wolfe: I set a card and activate a Continuous Spell Card, Banner of Courage! It increases the ATK of my monsters by 200 points during my Battle Phase. And I summon Gladiator Beast - Murmillo (WATER/3*/Fish/Effect/ATK800/DEF400)

Battle Phase
Wolfe: Banner of Courage's effect activates. My monsters gain 200ATK 

Gladiator Beast-Murmillo ATK (800 -> 1000)

Wolfe: I attack directly with Gladiator Beast-Murmillo! (ATK1000)

Wallace: I activate Chobham Armor Dragon's effect. When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack, I can special summon this card from my hand in Attack Position and for the rest of this turn, it cannot be destroyed by battle and the battle damage received is halved! I special Summon Chobham Armor Dragon (DARK/1*/Dragon/Effect/ATK0/DEF0)

Wolfe: Then I attack Chobham Armor Dragon (ATK0) with Gladiator Beast - Murmillo (ATK1000).

Due to Chobham Armor Dragon's effect, battle damage is halved and it is not destroyed by battle (500LP Damage to Wallace)

Wallace 7500; Wolfe 8000

Wolfe's Main Phase 2
Wolfe: I activate Gladiator Beast - Murmillo's effect. After this card is attacked or attacked, I can shuffle it back into the deck to Special Summmon 1 Gladiator Beast from my deck except itself. I Special Summon Gladiator Beast - Dimacari (EARTH/4*/Beast/Effect/ATK1600/DEF1200). Its effect since it was Special Summoned is that it can attack twice during the Battle Phase. I end my turn.

Turn 3 (Wallace 8000; Wolfe 8000)
Wallace's Draw Phase then Main Phase 1

Wallace: I summon The Phatom Knights of Ancient Cloak (DARK/3*/Warrior/Effect/ATK800/DEF1000). And since I have a The Phantom Knights monster on my field in my control, I special Summon, The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots (DARK/3*/Warrior/Effect/ATK200/DEF1200).

Joey: This can go either way. XYZ or we have seen him use a Link Monster

Wallace: I link my 3 monsters to Link Summon, I Link Summon The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche (DARK/Link-3/Warrior/Link/Effect/ATK2100).

Jack: THere we go!

Wallace: I activate Chobham Armor Dragon's effect since it was used as Link Material. I can target 1 other DARK monster from my graveyard to my hand. My opponent can also add 1 monster from their Graveyard to their hand, but you don't have any. So for me, I add back to my hand, The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots!

The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots is added back to the hand

Wallace: I'm not done. I activate The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche's effect. I can send a The Phantom Knights monster from my deck to my Graceyard to set 1 Phantom Knights Spell/Trap card to my Spell & Trap Zone. I send from the deck The Phantom Knights of Cloven Helm (DARK/4*/Warrior/Effect/ATK1500/DEF500) to set Phatnom Knights' Sword

Battle Phase
Wallace: The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche (ATK2100) attack Gladiator Beast - Dimacari (ATK1600)

Wolfe: I activate a Trap Card, No Entry!! All monsters in Attack Position switch to Defense Position.

Gladiator Beast - Dimacari switches to defense position (DEF1200)

Wallace: Only Dimacari switches. Link monsters cannot switch to Defense Position 

Kaiba: What an amateur mistake only Joey Wheeler does!

Wallace: Attack resumes! 

Gladiator Beast - Dimacari is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard.

Wallace: I end my turn

Turn 4 (Wallace 7500; Wolfe 8000)
Wolfe's Draw Phase then Main Phase 1

Wolfe: I set a monster in defense to end my turn

Turn 5 (Wallace 7500; Wolfe 8000)
Wallace's Draw Phase then Main Phase 1

Wallace: I set a card and I summon The Phatom Knights of Ancient Cloak (DARK/3*/Warrior/Effect/ATK800/DEF1000). And since I have a The Phantom Knights monster on my field in my control, I special Summon, The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots (DARK/3*/Warrior/Effect/ATK200/DEF1200).

Kaiba: It's time

Wallace: I overlay The Phatom Knights of Ancient Cloak with The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots to XYZ summon, The Phantom Knights of Break Sword (DARK/Rank 3/ Warrior/XYZ/Effect/ATK2000/DEF1000)

Joey: Now we have to see where he summons it.

Wallace: I summon Break Sword by the bottom right of Rusty Bardiche, triggering its effect! If a DARK XYZ Monster is summoned to one of the zones it points to, I can target 1 card and destroy it. I select the monster you've just set!

By the effect of The Phantom KNights of Rusty Bardiche, Wolfe's facedown Gladiator Beast - Hoplomus (EARTH/4*/Rock/Effect/ATK700/DEF2100) is destroyed

Joey: Open field!

Wallace: I now activate a Continuous Trap Card, Phantom Knights' Sword. I equip this to The Phantom Knights of Break Sword

The Phantom Knights of Break Sword ATK (2000 -> 2800)

Battle Phase
Wallace: I attack directly first with The Phantom Knights of Break Sword! (2800LP Damage to Wolfe)

Wallace 7500; Wolfe 5200

Wallace: I attack next with The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche (2100LP Damage to WOlfe)

Wallace 7500; Wolfe 3100

Wallace: I end my turn

Jack: Wow! One more onslaught and that ends it for him

Turn 6 (Wallace 7500; Wolfe 3100)
Wolfe's Draw Phase then Main Phase 1

Wolfe: I set another monster in defense to end my turn

Turn 7 (Wallace 7500; Wolfe 3100)
Wallace's Draw Phase then Main Phase 1

Wallace: I activate a Trap Card, The Phantom Knights of Shade Brigandine. I can special summon this card in Defense Position as a Normal Monster (DARK/4*/Warrior/ATK0/DEF300). I also summon The Phantom Knights of Fragile Armor (DARK/4*/Warrior/Effect/ATK1000/DEF2000). I lay the Overlay Network and XYZ summon,Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon (DARK/Rank 4/Dragon/XYZ/Effec/ATK2500/DEF2000).

Jack: The 3 aces of the Phantom Knights Deck!

Wallace: The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche's effect activates since I summoned Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon, a DARK XYZ Monster, to the bottom left zone. I target your facedown and it is destroyed!

By the effect of The Phantom KNights of Rusty Bardiche, Wolfe's facedown Gladiator Beast - Hoplomus (EARTH/4*/Rock/Effect/ATK700/DEF2100) is destroyed

Joey: Oh it ends here nyeh...

Battle Phase

Wallace 7500; Wolfe 600

Wallace: I attack for game with The Phantom Knights of Break Sword! (2800LP Damage to Wolfe)

Wallace 7500; Wolfe 0
