Round 3 Featuer Match: Jeffrey Jones versus Ed Acepcion

February 20th, 2016

Jeffrey Jones is currently 2-0 with his awesome Phantom Knights Deck. A brand new archetype from Wing Raiders, Jones is looking to take advantage of his opponent’s unfamiliarity and make his way to the Top 8. However, his opponent Ed Acepcion is standing in his way. Acepcion is Dueling with Monarchs this weekend, trying to defeat his opponents with powerful Tribute Monsters.

Can Jones prove that Phantom Knights are a force to be reckoned with? Or will Acepcion come out on top?

 

Duel One:

Jones had two copies of Speedroid Terrortop, two copies of Phantom Knights’ Fog Blade, and Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit. He added Speedroid Taketomborg to his hand and then Special Summoned it before he overlayed both for Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss. He activated the effect of Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss and sent Solemn Strike, The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves, and Phantom Knights’ Wing. He activated the effect of The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves and sent The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots to the Graveyard.

Jones drew Twin Twister for turn. He activated the effect of Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss to send Phantom Knights’ Wing and two other cards to his Graveyard. He then activated Leviair the Sea Dragon to Special Summon The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots. He overlayed The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots along with The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves for The Phantom Knights of Break Sword. He activated the effect of The Phantom Knights of Breaks Sword to destroy his own Phantom Knights’ Fog Blade along with Acepcion’s Set Pantheism of the Monarchs.
