Yishan McNabb is back again! This Duelist from Alameda is a bit famous for his Feature Match a year ago, where he used his Gren Maju Da Eiza Deck, capable of throwing out some crazy amounts of damage thanks to Pot of Desires and Eater of Millions boosting his signature monster. His opponent is a Santa Ana Duelist, Jonathon Castillo. Castillo’s using the Danger! Dark World FTK strategy, looking to put together a combo to allow him to loop the effect of Cannon Soldier repeatedly for the win.

He played another Allure of Darkness, banishing a Snoww. He Normal Summoned Armageddon Knight, sending Cannon Soldier to the Graveyard. A third Allure of Darkness came down, banishing another Chupacabra. He used Tsuchinoko, Dogman, and Armageddon Knight to play Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion, sending Blackwing – Zephyros the Elite to the Graveyard.

He Special Summoned Mothman and drew a card, then added Broww to his hand. He bounced Chupacabra to his hand for Zephyros, and used it with Mothman to play Outer Entity Nyarla, and used that to play Outer Entity Azathot. He used the two Nessies to play Number 42: Galaxy Tomahawk, and Special Summoned three Battle Eagle Tokens. He Link Summoned using Azathot and a Token to play Knightmare Phoenix, and another Token with Curious to play Firewall Dragon. Firewall returned Cannon Soldier from his Graveyard to his hand.

With this combo, Castillo took out McNabb’s Life Points on the first turn!

McNabb had a hand of One Day of Peace, Battle Fader, Scapegoat, and two copies of Gren Maju Da Eiza. Against a normal opponent, this would have kept him safe for several turns, but it could do nothing against Cannon Soldier’s effect damage. The Duelists moved to their Side Decks.
