Isaac Whatley from Schenectady, New York is Dueling against Brian Clark from Montgomery Village, Maryland in this Round 11 Feature Match! Whatley and Clark are both using Decks powered up by the recent release of Primal Origin, but are piloting vastly different strategies. Whatley is using a Madolche Deck that Special Summons monsters and adds monsters to the hand with Madolche Chateau and Madolche Ticket; Clark is using a Traptrix Hands Artifact Deck that slowly gains advantage in each Duel by gradually destroying his opponent’s cards. Both of these Duelists have 8-2 records, so each of them will need a victory in this round if they want to maintain hope for a Top 32 finish. It’s time to Duel!
