In our Round 4 Feature Match, we have two Duelists that have each travelled a long way to compete at YCS Anaheim! Maurice Antwon Brantley is from Miami, Florida, playing the very popular Yummy strategy, while Joshua Riley Del Mundo travelled down from Vancouver, British Columbia, and he’s his trusted Maliss Deck! Both players are entering the round with a perfect record, but only one of them will be able to remain undefeated!
