Deck Primer

(Update-I: Deck has been updated for better performance. Plan is still the same as before.)

Welcome! Today, I would like to show you how to win with "Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo" by skipping your opponent's turns with "Arcana Force XXI - The World". By taking three turns in total, you can place 3 Destiny Counters and win the duel. There is also another means to do that, click here to have a look! Otherwise, let's go!

Gameplan

1) At one point, play "Time-Tearing Morganite". Then, when "Light Barrier" is present, either Tribute Summon Arcana or Special Summon Arcana with Saryuja. Choose the outcome as heads to always skip your opponent's turn at the cost of delivering two of your monsters to GY, which will be 2 x Cockroach Knight cards and it will be guaranteed...

Before Cockroach Knights, it used to be Sabres + Balerdroch, provided there is a Field Spell to Special Summon Balerdroch from your GY and a card in-hand to place on top of your Main Deck and Special Summon Sabres. You can still view them in "Side Deck".
When you Tribute Summon Arcana or Link Summon Saryuja, get rid of Daigusto. Reason is that you can XYZ Summon Number 88 with the help of "Galaxy Queen's Light" later on.

2) When Arcana is present and your board is full, use "Galaxy Queen's Light" to make all monsters Level 8 by targeting Arcana. Then, XYZ Summon Number 88 by using 3 x Level 8 monsters as materials...

If Saryuja is also here, convert 3 x Level 1 monsters into Level 8 and use them for Number 88.
If Saryuja/Arcana isn't here, target Accel on "Galaxy Queen's Light" and plan accordingly. Just don't include Panda and you will be fine.
If Saryuja isn't here but Arcana is, target Arcana on "Galaxy Queen's Light" and plan accordingly. Just don't include Panda and you will be fine.
Before "Galaxy Queen's Light" setup, Accel + Fleur + Linewalker used to bring forth Number 88. There are also other Level 8 monsters you can cheat out with ease, so feel free to take a look in "Side Deck".

3) Activate Number 88 to place first Destiny Counter. Even if you control a Field Spell, you can still put Destiny Counters. However, if you have at least one card in backrow (Spell/Trap Zone), you can't place Destiny Counters with Number 88. Be mindful of this rule at all times.

4) When you hold 2 x Cockroach Knight in your hand and if you have played "Into the Void" beforehand, end your turn. Don't forget to send any two of your monsters but Arcana and Number 88 to GY and skip your opponent's turn. With "Into the Void" triggering, you will discard everything you have to GY, which results 2 x Cockroach Knight being placed on top of your deck.

5) It's your turn now. If you notice, you will draw 2 cards thanks to Morganite instead of one, which lets you draw Cockroach Knights for sure. In addition, you can Normal Summon twice instead of one. This is your infinite turn skip trick but in this case, you will repeat this setup one and final time.

6) Reason is that, you can activate Number 88 to place 2nd Destiny Counter. When the turn skip trick explained in #5 is used and it's your turn, you can activate Number 88 to place 3rd Destiny Counter. With 3 x Destiny Counters being present on Number 88, you win the duel!
