Magician, Trickstar, Lightsworn Zombie Dinosaur, Metalfoes, Invoked, True Draco, ABC, and even SPYRALs are represented in the Top 32. That’s a pretty wide variety of Decks present in the Top 32. There’s some strong representation for the less-represented Decks, too. The lone SPYRAL Deck being is piloted by YCS winner Mohammed Khan, who won his YCS trophy using the SPYRAL archetype. The lone ABC Deck is piloted by Calvin Tahan, who is a veteran on the YCS scene, and well-practiced with ABCs.
Despite the wide variety of Decks in the Top 32, it’s clear that some Deck types have a more dominating Top 32 presence than others. A whopping 17 Magician Decks are in the Top 32, comprising more than half of the Top Cut. That’s largely thanks to the release of Heavymetalfoes Electrumite in Extreme Force. The second-most represented Deck in the Top 32 is Trickstar, represented by a total of 5 Decks. 4 Duelists made it to the Top 32 with a variant of True Dracos, including Metalfoes True Draco, while 2 Duelists made it to the Top 32 with a Lightsworn Zombie Dinosaur Deck. 2 others made it to the Top 32 with a pure Invoked Deck, while SPYRALs and ABCs are each represented by 1 Duelist in the Top 32.
Although Magicians are the most represented Deck in the Top 32, their victory in this tournament is far from assured. Keep checking the coverage to see how the rest of the tournament unfolds!
