Jeffrey Scott is from Belleview, Florida and he’s using X-Sabers this weekend. Jaime Morales is a Miami local, and he’s competing with a Chaos Dragon Deck. Both of these Duelists currently have 7-1 records, but only one of them can finish Day 1 with an 8-1 record.

Duel One

Morales started off Duel 1 by activating Charge of the Light Brigade. He sent Tour Guide From the Underworld, Monster Reborn, and Sangan from the top of his Deck to his Graveyard to add Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter to his hand. Next, he activated Solar Recharge. He discarded Ehren, Lightsworn Monk to draw 2 cards and send Darkflare Dragon and Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress from the top of his Deck to his Graveyard. Morales Summoned Lyla next. In his End Phase, he sent Heavy Storm, Card Trooper, and Lightpulsar Dragon from the top of his Deck to his Graveyard with Lyla’s effect.

Scott opened up with XX-Saber Faultroll, Trap Stun, 2 copies of Solemn Warning, and 2 copies of XX-Saber Boggart Knight.

Scott Summoned XX-Saber Boggart Knight but didn’t activate its effect, and Morales discarded Maxx “C”. Scott attacked Lyla with XX-Saber Boggart Knight, but Morales sent Honest from his hand to his Graveyard in the Damage Step to give Lyla 1900 ATK and win the battle. Scott Set both copies of Solemn Warning before ending his turn.

Morales activated Solar Recharge by discarding Ryko. He drew 2 cards and sent Lightpulsar Dragon and Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon from the top of his Deck to his Graveyard. Next, he tried to Normal Summon Lyla; but Scott activated Solemn Warning and gave up 2000 Life Points to negate its Summon. Morales sent Tour Guide From the Underworld and Effect Veiler from his hand to his Graveyard to Special Summon Lightpulsar Dragon back from his Graveyard and then activated Dark Hole! Lightpulsar Dragon’s effect activated, allowing him to Special Summon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon from his Graveyard! He used the effect of Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon to Special Summon Lightpulsar Dragon back from the Graveyard. Direct attacks from Lightpulsar Dragon and Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon finished Scott off!

Jaime Morales wins on his second turn with Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon and Lightpulsar Dragon! Jeffrey Scott will be going first in Duel 2!

Duel Two

Scott opened up Duel 2 with Bottomless Trap Hole, Solemn Warning, Mystical Space Typhoon, XX-Saber Emmersblade, and 2 copies of XX-Saber Boggart Knight.

He Set Solemn Warning and Torrential Tribute along with XX-Saber Emmersblade before ending his turn.

Morales tried to Normal Summon Tour Guide From the Underworld; but Scott flipped Solemn Warning and negated its Summon.

Scott drew Solemn Judgment and Set it. He Normal Summoned XX-Saber Boggart Knight and activated its effect to Special Summon another Boggart Knight from his hand. He attacked directly with his first Boggart Knight, and Morales Special Summoned Tragoedia from his hand in Attack Position, with 2400 ATK. In Main Phase 2, Scott combined both Boggart Knights to Summon Fairy King Albverdich. He detached an Xyz Material from Albverdich to weaken all non-EARTH monsters by 500 ATK and DEF.

Morales activated Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Scott’s face-down Bottomless Trap Hole and then Tributed Tragoedia to try to Summon Darkflare Dragon; but Scott flipped Solemn Judgment and paid 3000 Life Points to negate its Summon. But that gave Morales exactly 3 DARK monsters in his Graveyard! He Special Summoned Dark Armed Dragon and then banished Tour Guide From the Underworld and Tragoedia from his Graveyard to destroy Scott’s Fairy King Albverdich and face-down XX-Saber Emmersblade.

Scott drew X-Saber Pashuul and Set it along with Mystical Space Typhoon.

Morales banished Darkflare Dragon from his Graveyard to destroy Scott’s face-down Pashuul and then Summoned Eclipse Wyvern. Direct attacks from Eclipse Wyvern and Dark Armed Dragon wiped out Scott’s last 200 Life Points!

Jaime Morales is moving on with an 8-1 record!
