WCQ – CA: Round 6 Feature Match Radolfo Rosete vs. Emmanuel Padilla

July 6th, 2014

Radolfo Rosete from Mexico City and Emmanuel Padilla from Guadalajara are both currently undefeated with relatively unconventional strategies. Rosete is using an Evol Deck, featuring the new Evo-Singularity Trap Card from Primal Origin, which helps Special Summon a powered-up Xyz Monster with the flip of a card. Emmanuel Padilla is using an Infernity Deck, which discards or Sets all of the cards in his hand in order to take advantage of powerful Infernity card effects. Which one of these strategies will advance with a 6-0 record? It’s time to Duel!

Rodolfo Rosete opened up Duel 1 with Evoltile Najasho, Soul Charge, Evolsaur Diplo, Evo-Diversity, and 2 copies of Divine Wrath. He activated Evo-Diversity to add Evoltile Westlo from his Deck to his hand and then Set Westlo. He Set 2 copies of Divine Wrath before ending his turn.
