Adib started by summoning Thunder King Raioh; only to lose it to Matt’s set Bottomless Trap Hole. Adib then set three cards in his spell and trap zone to end his turn.

Matt drew for his turn and ended with doing anything else.

Adib summoned Blackwing – Vayu the Emblem of Honor, and attacked directly, then ending his turn.

Matt special summoned Cyber Dragon, Adib flipped his Bottomless Trap Hole, but Matt chained his Trap Stun; saving his Cyber Dragon. Matt then tribute Cyber Dragon for Caius the Shadow Monarch; activating its effect to remove Adib’s Vayu from play and dealing 1000 damage because Vayu was a Dark attribute monster. Caius made a direct attack and passed his turn.

Adib summoned Blackwing –Sirocco the Dawn without tributes because Matt controlled a monster. Sirocco attacked into Caius, Matt was reading a Kalut; activated Book of Moon, to turn the Blackwing monster facedown.

Matt summoned Flamvell Firedog and the Firedog went to attack the facedown Blackwing monster, and Adib flipped up his Icarus Attacl; tributing his set Sirocco to destroy both Caius and Firedog. Matt passed his turn.

Matt read the Kalut correctly; as Adib summoned Blackwing – Kalut the Moon Shadow, and made a direct attack to end his turn.

Kalut made another direct attack, then Adib set one spell or trap card to end his turn.

Matt set a monster to pass his turn.

Adib summoned Blackwing – Shura the Blue Flame, and attacked into Matt’s facedown monster; which was a Gravekeeper’s Spy. Its effect was activated to special summon Gravekeeper’s Descendant from his deck. After that battle was over, Adib flipped Icarus Attack; tribute his Kalut, to destroy both of Matt’s gravekeeper monsters.

The score was Matt leading at 4400 and Adib at 3800.

Matt activated Rekindling again; Adib activated Royal Oppression’s effect again; paying 800 life points to negate Rekindling once again. Matt ended with no other moves.

Adib drew Dark Hole, and immediately activated it, to destroy both of Matt’s monsters. Adib then summoned Blackwing – Blizzard the Far North, and Matt flipped Solemn Warning; paying 2000 life points to negate its summon. 

Matt top decked a Flamvell Magician and made a direct attack, and passed his turn.

Adib summoned Blackwing – Sirocco the Dawn, and attacked the Magican; the resulting life point loss was exactly enough to claim Adib game one!
