 Turn 2: Josh 

Josh draws. He then Normal Summons "Steamroid" (1800/1800) in Attack Position. "Steamroid" attacks "Mystic Knight". The effect of "Steamroid" activates, increasing its ATK by 300 ("Steamroid": 1800 > 2100/1800). "Steamroid" then destroys "Mystic Knight" (Ken 4000 > 3300). Since "Mystic Knight" was destroyed by battle, its effect activates, inflicting 500 damage to Josh (Josh 4000 > 3500).

 Turn 3: Ken 

Ken draws. He then activates his face-down "Call of the Haunted" to revive "Mystic Knight" (1400/1200) in Attack Position. He then Normal Summons "Wormmon" (700/700) in Attack Position. "Mystic Knight" attacks "Steamroid". The second effect of "Steamroid" activates, reducing its ATK by 500 ("Steamroid": 1800 > 1300/1800). "Mystic Knight" then destroys "Steamroid" (Josh 3500 > 3400). "Wormmon" attacks Josh directly (Josh 3400 > 2700).

 Turn 4: Josh 

Josh draws. He then Normal Summons "Dragon Tiger" (1700/1500) in Attack Position. "Dragon Tiger" attacks and destroys "Wormmon" (Ken 3300 > 2300). He then Sets a card.

 Turn 5: Ken 

Ken draws. He then equips "Mystic Knight" with "Electro Whip", increasing its ATK by 700 (" Mystic Knight": 1400 > 2100/1200). Since "Wormmon" is in Ken's Graveyard, he activates "Web Cocoon". Now in two turns, Ken can Special Summon "Stingmon". "Mystic Knight" attacks "Dragon Tiger", but Josh activates his face-down "Useless Attack" to discard his entire hand and negate the attack.

 Turn 6: Josh 

Josh draws. He then Normal Summons "Copycat" (0/0) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to copy the ATK and DEF of "Mystic Knight" ("Copycat": 0 > 1400/0 > 1200). He then activates "Spell Copy" to copy the effects of "Electro Whip" and equips it to "Copycat" ("Copycat": 1400 > 2100/1200). "Copycat" attacks "Mystic Knight". Both monsters are then destroyed in a Double KO. Due to the effect of "Dragon Tiger", the effects of Ken's monsters are negated during the Battle Phase. "Dragon Tiger" attacks Ken directly (Ken 2300 > 600). He then Sets a card.

 Turn 7: Ken 

Ken draws. He then activates "Time Watch" to skip ahead one turn and draw a card. Since it's been two turns, "Web Cocoon" Special Summons "Stingmon" (2400/2000) in Attack Position. "Stingmon" attacks and destroys "Dragon Tiger" (Josh 2700 > 2000).

 Turn 8: Josh 

Josh draws. He then activates "Pot of Greed" to draw two cards. He then activates "Calm Before The Storm" to Special Summon "Raveinja" (2500/2000) from his hand in Attack Position. He then activates "Graveyard Download" to increase the ATK of "Raveinja" by 500 ATK for every monster in his Graveyard. There are currently three ("Raveinja": 2500 > 4000/2000). "Raveinja" attacks and destroys "Stingmon" (Josh 600 > 0).
