Duel One

Jones opened up Duel 1 with Pot of Desires, Wavering Eyes, Time Pendulumgraph, and 2 copies of Duelist Alliance.

He activated Pot of Desires, banishing the top 10 cards of his Deck face-down to draw Harmonizing Magician and Astrograph Sorcerer. He activated Astrograph Sorcerer in his Pendulum Zone and then used Duelist Alliance to add Double Iris Magician to his hand. He placed it in his Pendulum Zone and then Pendulum Summoned Harmonizing Magician from his hand. He used Harmonizing Magician’s effect to Special Summon Purple Poison Magician from his Deck and then combined his two monsters to Xyz Summon Timestar Magician. He used Timestar’s effect to add Performapal Skullcrobat Joker to his hand and then Normal Summoned it, activating its effect to add Wisdom-Eye Magician to his hand. He Set Wavering Eyes and Time Pendulmgraph to his back row before passing.

Mitchell activated Oafdragon Magician in his Pendulum Zone and then placed Double Iris Magician in his Pendulum Zone. He Normal Summoned Double Iris Magician next, and then used the effect of the Double Iris Magician in his Pendulum Zone, targeting the Double Iris on his field. He used Double Iris’s effect, and Chained the effect of Astrograph Sorcerer to Special Summon it from his hand in Attack Position. He added Star Pendulumgraph from his Deck to his hand and then activated it. Next, he activated Double Iris Magician in his last Pendulum Zone, and Jones flipped Wavering Eyes for the blowout! Mitchell instantly conceded, unwilling to fight back from all of his Pendulum Scales being destroyed and Jones getting to use all of Wavering Eyes’s effects!

Jeff Jones takes a lightning-fast victory in Duel 1 thanks to Wavering Eyes! Jones is just one victory away from becoming the Ultimate Duelist!

Duel Two

Mitchell started off Duel 2 by activating Pendulum Call. He discarded Harmonizing Magician to add Double Iris Magician and Black Fang Magician to his hand and then placed Black Fang Magician and Purple Poison Magician in his Pendulum Zones. He Pendulum Summoned Double Iris Magician and Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer from his hand, and used his Sorcerer’s effect to destroy his on-field Double Iris. He added Skullcrobat Joker to his hand with his Sorcerer’s effect, and added Time Pendulumgraph to his hand with the effect of Double Iris. He Summoned Skullcrobat Joker and used its effect to add Wisdom-Eye Magician to his hand. Next, he combined his Sorcerer with Skullcrobat Joker to Xyz Summon Tornado Dragon and Set 2 cards to his back row.

Jones Normal Summoned Skullcrobat Joker and activated its effect, but Mitchell flipped Dimensional Barrier to negate it! Jones activated Purple Poison Magician in his Pendulum Zone and then attacked Tornado Dragon with his Joker. He used Time Pendulumgraph to try to destroy his Black Fang and the Skullcrobat Joker. Since Black Fang couldn’t be destroyed due to Pendulum Call, after Skullcrobat Joker was destroyed, Time Pendulumgraph sent Purple Poison Magician back to the Extra Deck face-up. Jones passed his turn with a clear field.

Mitchell activated the effect of his Tornado Dragon to destroy his own Purple Poison Magician, and used Purple Poison’s effect to destroy his Tornado Dragon. Next, he placed Wisdom-Eye in his Pendulum Zone, and traded it in for Oafdragon Magician.
