Featured Duel: Cathy vs. Dog-chan[]
Turn 1: Cathy
Cathy Normal Summons "Stray Cat" (100/100). Cathy's hand contains "Cat Girl", "Gold Coins for Cats", "Counter Nyaunter", "Cat Food" and "Cat's Deception". Cathy Sets two cards.
Turn 2: Dog-chan
Dog-chan Normal Summons "Triple Dog" (1200/1100). She activates its effect, Special Summoning another "Triple Dog" (1200/1100) from her hand in Attack Position. She then activates "Double Dog", Special Summoning a third "Triple Dog" (1200/1100) from her Deck in Attack Position. Dog-chan overlays her three Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Sumo King Dog" (2600/2100) in Attack Position. Dog-chan activates "Wanderbull", Special Summoning two "Wanderbull Tokens" (0/0) in Attack Position, which will be destroyed during the End Phase. She then equips "Sumo King Dog" with "Dog-cking, increasing its ATK by 500 for each Beast-Type monster she controls, to 4100. "Sumo King Dog" attacks "Stray Cat", but Cathy activates her face-down "Cat's Deception", which would negate the attack and [[return] "Sumo King Dog" to Dog-chan's Extra Deck. Dog-chan activates the effect of "Sumo King Dog", detaching an Overlay Unit to negate the activation of "Cat's Deception" and destroy it. The attack continues, but Cathy activates her face-down "Cat Food", Tributing "Stray Cat" to Special Summon "Stray Catgirl" (600/1500) from her Deck in Attack Position. Dog-chan replays the battle, with "Stray Catgirl" becoming the new target, though she is not destroyed by battle via her effect (Cathy 4000 → 500). Dog-chan Sets a card. At the End Phase, the "Wanderbull Tokens" are destroyed, so the ATK of "Sumo King Dog" decreases to 3100.
Turn 3: Cathy
Cathy Normal Summons "Cat Girl" (1200/1600). She overlays her two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Cat Girl Magician" (2000/1800) in Attack Position. She equips it with "Catnip Turbine", increasing its ATK by 1200, to 3200, though it may not attack the opponent's monsters. She activates the effect of "Cat Girl Magician", detaching an Overlay Unit to halve its ATK to 1600 but allow it to attack directly. It does so (Dog-chan 4000 → 2400). Cathy Sets a card.
Turn 4: Dog-chan
Dog-chan activates "Wan Chance", Special Summoning four "Wanchance Tokens" (0/0) in Attack Position, which may not be Tributed. As she now controls four more Beast-Type monsters, the effect of "Dog-cking" increases the ATK of "Sumo King Dog" by 500 for each, to 5100. "Sumo King Dog" attacks "Cat Girl Magician", but Cathy activates her face-down "Gold Coins for Cats", increasing the ATK of her Beast-Type "Cart Girl Magician" by half that of the attacking monsters, until the end of the Damage Step. Its ATK increases to 5750. Dog-chan activates the effect of "Sumo King Dog", detaching an Overlay Unit to negate the activation of and destroy the Trap Card. As a Trap Card was destroyed, Cathy activates her face-down "Counter Nyaunter" to destroy "Dog-cking" but Dog-chan activates her face-down "Isolated Howling", destroying "Dog-cking" herself and returning the ATK of all monsters to their original values. The ATK of "Cat Girl Magician" returns to 2000, while the attack of "Sumo King Dog" returns to 2600. The attack continues (Cathy 500 → 0).
