YCS events bring all people from all walks of life, all age groups, and all levels of experience. Here we have some Illinois players who are enjoying their very first YCS!

Maximillion Reynolds is here with his friends, including a few other first-timers. He played Inzektors and finished 6-3 in the event. His favorite right now is Maestroke the Symphony Djinn. “That card is really amazing, although I wasn’t able to actually summon it much.” Maximillion thought the YCS event was “really cool” and liked seeing and meeting different people he had heard about before.

Nicholas Brachmann came here with hi. He also played Inzektors, but said “Not doing that again.” He went 1-3 and dropped int he fourth round. His favorite card right now is Evo-Force. “I played that before, and I switched to Inzektor. That was a mistake.” He was excited that the YCS had a lot of people, and he got in a lot of testing and got to meet new people. Nicholas had played at Regionals before and says he usually does well there, but felt the YCS was different – like the grand scheme of things! He also had fun at the sneak peek on Sunday.

Frank Forliano came with his family and is enjoying some Dragon Duels today, running his X-Saber Deck. His favorite card in his Deck today is Gorz, the Emissary of Darkness. But his favorite overall card is Elefun – the first card he ever got. Frank thought the event would be a lot more serious than it was, so it was not what he was expecting!

Rio Lara is one more Dragon Duelist with us today! He’s running a Scrap Deck and his favorite card is, naturally, Scrap Dragon! He had a good time in the Dragon Duel and liked that it was just the right size.
