Round 6: a look at the top 10 tables
It’s a good time to check out the action at the Top 10 tables. The twenty Duelists listed here have some of the best records of the day so far, so the Decks they’re playing may indicate the shape of the Top 32 tomorrow.

Table 10:

The 20 Decks in contention at the Top 10 tables break down like this:
X-Sabers: 5
Infernities: 3
Gadgets: 3
Monarch Variants: 3
Cat Synchro Variants: 2
Gladiator Beasts: 1
Vayu Lightsworn: 1
Zombies: 1
Blackwings: 1
Infernities are definitely delivering, but it looks like it may be X-Sabers that steal the show. Gadgets continue to make a strong showing despite the widespread use of Chimeratech Fortress Dragon and a slower pace of play. Quickdraw Dandywarrior is nowhere in sight, but may still make the Top 32. Will these stats be indicative of the top cut field tomorrow? We’ll find out tomorrow morning when the last Swiss Round is played.
