Turn 7: Eliphas
Instead of performing his normal draw during his Draw Phase, Eliphas adds "Rank-Up Magic Astral Force" to his hand from the Graveyard by its own effect. He activates it, Ranking Up "New Orders 12 Etheric Mahes" and performing a Rank-Up Xyz Evolution, Xyz Summoning "New Orders 13 Etheric Amen" (5000/4000) in Attack Position. Eliphas activates its effect, attaching cards from the top of Yuma's Deck to it as Overlay Units equal to the difference in Rank between itself and "Number C39: Utopia Ray Victory" as it was Special Summoned. Eight cards are attached ("Amen" ORU 3 → 11) (Yuma's Deck: 30 → 22). "Amen" gains 100 ATK for each Xyz Material attached to it (5000 → 6100). As Eliphas activated a Rank-Up-Magic card, the effect of "Rank-Up Advantage" activates, allowing Eliphas to draw a card. He performs a Shining Draw. Eliphas attacks "Utopia Ray Victory" with "Amen", activating the effect of "Rank Domination" in the process, decreasing the ATK of "Utopia Ray Victory" by 8000 (2800 → 0). Yuma activates his face-down "Purge Ray", letting him Tribute an Xyz Monster to Special Summon an Xyz Monster of a lower Rank from his Graveyard during the End Phase. He Tributes "Utopia Ray Victory" and then activates the effect of the "Rainbow Kuriboh" in his Graveyard, Special Summoning it in Defense Position. A replay occurs and "Amen" attacks and destroys "Rainbow Kuriboh". The effect of "Purge Ray" activates at the End Phase, allowing Yuma to Special Summon "Number 39: Utopia" (2500/2000) from his Graveyard. As an Xyz Monster was Special Summoned to Yuma's side of the field, the effect of "Amen" activates, attaching cards equal to the difference in Rank between itself and "Utopia" from the top of Yuma's Deck to "Amen" as Overlay Units. Nine cards are attached ("Amen" ORU 11 → 20, ATK 6100 → 7000) (Yuma's Deck: 22 → 13).

Turn 8: Yuma
Yuma performs a Shining Draw, drawing "Rank-Down Magic Numeron Fall" (Yuma's Deck: 13 → 12). He activates it, Ranking Down "Utopia" and performing an Xyz Evolution to Xyz Summon "Number 39: Utopia Roots" (500/100) in Attack Position. The effect of "Amen" activates, attaching cards equal to the difference in Rank between itself and "Utopia Roots" from the top of Yuma's Deck to "Amen" as Overlay Units. Twelve cards are attached ("Amen" ORU 20 → 32, ATK 7000 → 8200) (Yuma's Deck: 12 → 0). "Utopia Roots" attacks "Amen", but Yuma activates the effect of "Utopia Roots", detaching an Overlay Unit and attaching it to "Amen" ("Amen" ORU 32 → 33, ATK 8200 → 8300) and making its ATK equal to 100 x the difference in Ranks between itself and "Amen" (500 → 1200), then multiplying that ATK by the number of Xyz Materials attached to "Amen" and negating its own attack. "Amen" has thirty-three Xyz Materials (1200 → 39600). Yuma activates "Double or Nothing!", doubling the ATK of "Utopia Roots" and allowing it to attack again as an attack was negated (39600 → 79200). "Utopia Roots" attacks "Amen" (Eliphas 1200 → 0).
