I shall summon Elemental HERO Stratos to the field, whose effect adds Elemental HERO Prisma to my hand. I then set two cards and end my turn, assuming this elicits no response.

"Whilst I could use Musakani Magatama to negate its own destruction, I will not do so. Nor will I waste Shi En's effect as you are so desperately hoping I will do."

[Shadow_Elf]

A shame I could not bait your effect. Nonetheless, I must try; I summon Elemental HERO Prisma from my hand, use his effect to reveal Elemental HERO Neos Knight in my extra deck and send Elemental HERO Neos to my graveyard. I shall then cast Monster Reborn to bring back Neos, in attack mode. Are you going to do anything, noble foe, or may I proceed with my move?

"This might be predictable- but here I must respond. I use the effect of Shi En to negate monster reborn, leaving Neos in the graveyard."

[Shadow_Elf]

I shall flip up the Super Polymerization I had facedown by discarding an Elemental HERO Prisma in my hand to fuse Elemental HERO Prisma to Shi En to summon Elemental HERO Escuridao. I then cast Miracle Fusion to banish Prisma and Stratos in my graveyard to summon Elemental HERO Great Tornado, who cuts both of their attack scores in half. Escuridao attacks Kageki for 1850 damage, and Great Tornado attacks Grandmaster for 1750 damage, making a most magnificent total of 3600 damage. This concludes the turn of most wondrous self.

[... just remembered that Super Poly can't be negated, so I didn't have to waste Monster Reborn baiting Shi En's effect. Could have Monster Reborn'd Shi En after Super Poly and secured the comeback. Now I am vulnerable to a Dark Hole or something. I really ought to read the cards I use more carefully. ]

[Shadow_Elf]

You destroy my Mirror Gate. This is not critical, as I am on the offensive!

(1d31)[16]

I activate the wonderful E - Hero Emergency Call to add Elemental HERO Prisma to my hand. I summon him, and with priority reveal Neos Knight to send another Neos to the graveyard. I will have Elemental HERO Escuridao destroy your facedown monster, then I will attack with Prisma-as-Neos, followed by Great Tornado, which should do just more than enough to end the duel. Unless you are concealing a Shien's Footsoldier or Gorz, Emissary of Darkness in your hand.

[Will edit my decklist to reflect changes if this is not the conclusion of our duel.]

"It would appear you have bested me."

[Shadow_Elf]

It was an honour to have faced you, Colonel. Most wonderful self must thank you for a most fabulous pair of duels, says the pudgy man, extending his hand for a hand shake once his deck has been stashed away.

[Well, that was not the result I was expecting. I didn't think my Hero Xyz deck was strong enough to overcome a Six Sam deck, especially when you had as strong an opening as you did in the second duel.]

[Mercenary Pen]

(OOC: It didn't help that I had almost no access to the draw power in my deck, so my hand was running on empty by the end of the second duel.)
