Quick Questions: What Will Win?
We can ask plenty of Quick Questions to all sorts of different competitors, but at the end of the day, 1 question always carries a unique impact: “What do you think will win?” With huge upsets in YCS San Jose, and a big win from Angel Flores’ LIGHT Gemini Beatdown Deck, opinions are varied here in Philadelphia. We asked a range of Duelists their opinions.
“I’m gonna say Monster Surge. Andrew Lindskogg is running it.” -Mike Glowacki
“Blackwings, definitely. They have the most explosive moves out of any Deck, they can search any card they need with Black Whirlwind, and Icarus Attack is too good.” -Guillermo “Gmo” Morales
“Probably X-Sabers. The combos they pull off with Boggart Knight, Fulhelmn, and Faultroll are huge; Darksoul just recovers anything they lost.” -Aaron Charles
“Sabers. It just has the most broken plays.” -Nareg Torossian
“Sabers. It’s the most broken Deck. If played right, it can beat any other Deck. It has so much versatility. You can play a control game, or go really aggressive. Kind of like Blackwings.” -Alfonso Yamakawa
“[LIGHT Gemini Beatdown]! We’re going hard with this one! Roderick is calling [LIGHT Gemini Beatdown] to win it!” -Roderick Pailin
“I think something aligned to anti-meta. I just lost to an anti-meta deck, and I’m kind of playing 1 myself, so I think anti-meta’ll win it.” -Brent Yetter
“Some variant teched with a lot of stuff. Like something running Pot of Duality, Solemn Warning, and Effect Veiler! That’s what I’m going to say is gonna win: a Deck with those three cards in it!” -Anthony Ling
“X-Sabers, but I would like an original Deck to win! When LIGHT Gemini Beatdown, won San Jose, I was like ‘that’s so good!’ I like originality.” -Simon Phoenix
“I think Sabers also. I’m running it!” -Luis Costa
“I don’t know, I’ve been seeing Scraps doing really well! I’d go with Scraps.” Pongyue Moua
