Alexander Simpson from Kansas City, Missouri is Dueling in his home town! He’s currently 2-0 in the tournament with his Danger! Deck featuring Infernoid and Burning Abyss monsters, and he’s Dueling against Cameron Neal from Dallas, Texas in this Round 3 Feature Match! Danger! cards were first introduced in Cybernetic Horizon, and although most Duelists immediately acknowledged their power, many Duelists have been struggling to fit them into the current competitive environment. By combining his Danger! cards with Infernoid and Burning Abyss monsters to create synergy among the three, Simpson believes he found a way to integrate the Danger! cards into the current tournament scene. Cameron Neal is using a tried-and-true Gouki strategy that he is hoping will overwhelm Simpson. It’s time to Duel!
