He then activated Raiders, destroying Power Patrom DoomZ in hand to Special Summon DoomZ V Five – Amalthe from his Deck. Afterward, he activated the Power Patron and Amalthe’s effects to search for DoomZ Destruction and DoomZ XII Zero – Drastea, respectively. He used Amalthe and Elara to Xyz Summon Number 106: Giant Hand, then activated Drastea’s effect in hand, destroying Raiders and Special Summoning it, then equipping it with DoomZ Command “D.O.O.M.D.U.R.G”.

Stone then activated Small World, banishing Noh-P.U.N.K. Foxy Tune from his hand and Nibiru, the Primal Being from his Deck to search for Dogmatika Fleurdelis, the Thunderbolt.

Rising Scale, then banished Wa Gon to Special Summon the Rising Scale and Special Summoned back Deer Note. Finally, Stone used the effect of Extreme Session, banishing Ze Amin from the Graveyard to Special Summon Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Sharakusai, Set another card to his backrow, and ended his turn. 

Moore began his turn by Special Summoning Gameciel the Sea Turtle Kaiju to Stone’s side of the field, Tributing Stone’s Sharakusai. Next, Moore activated Ultimate Slayer, returning Stone’s  JAM FEVER! to the Extra Deck. He then activated Theorealize, sending Medius the Pure to the Graveyard to look at the top card of Stone’s Deck and returning it to the bottom of the Deck. He Normal Summoned DoomZ VII Seven – Elara and Set DoomZ Raiders to his backrow. However, on resolution, Stone activated Dogmatika Punishment, sending Vallon to the Graveyard to destroy Elara, then used Vallon’s effect to destroy the face-down Raiders! Finally, Moore Special Summoned Medius the Pure from the Graveyard, but when he activated its effect, Stone activated Dangerous Game, destroying Medius and preventing any further plays. With that, Moore conceded, and we’re moving on to game 3!
