Welcome to the Top 32 of the Remote Duel YCS! 526 Duelists entered to compete, and now just 32 remain! Davide Magri and Leonardo Sacchetti are friends from Italy, and they practice Dueling together in order to hone their skills for the highest levels of competition. Now, they’ve made it to the Top 32 piloting an Exosister Deck and an Adventure Spright Deck respectively, and they’re Dueling in a Match that will eliminate one of them from the tournament while sending the other one to the Top 16. The pressure is on for both of these Duelists, as they aim for a YCS championship title. It’s time to Duel!

Duel One

Magri started off Duel 1 by Normal Summoning Exosister Stella. Next, he Special Summoned Elis and gained 800 Life Points with its effect. He Xyz Summoned Exosister Kaspitell next, and used its effect to add Exosister Martha from his Deck to his hand. He Special Summoned Martha from his hand along with an Elis from his Deck. Next, he Xyz Summoned Mikailis and used its effect to add Exosister Returnia to his hand. He combined his 2 Xyz Monsters to Xyz Summon Exosisters Magnifica and then Set 3 cards to his back row before passing his turn.

Sacchetti activated Dark Ruler No More to negate the effect of Magnifica! Next he activated Foolish Burial to send Water Enchantress of the Temple from his Deck to his Graveyard and banished it to try to add a Rite of Aramesir to his hand; but he lost out to Magri’s Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring! Sacchetti Special Summoned Wandering Gryphon Rider from his hand next, and then Normal Summoned Nimble Beaver. He used its effect to Special Summon a Nimble Angler from his Deck and Magri flipped Returnia, targeting Nimble Angler. He then Chained Exosisters Vadis. He Special Summoned Exosister Irene and Exosister Sophia with the effect of Vadis, and used them both to Xyz Summon Exosister Mikailis when Returnia resolved. Returnia banished a Beaver from Sacchetti’s field, and Mikailis’s effect banished the Nimble Angler. Sacchetti conceded immediately thereafter, with just 2 cards in his hand and no Level 2 monsters left on his field.

A strong start for Davide Magri allows him to quickly win Duel 1 despite the activation of Sacchetti’s Dark Ruler No More! Magri is just one win away from the Top 16!

Duel Two

Sacchetti started off Duel 2 by activating Foolish Burial to send Water Enchantress of the Temple to his Graveyard. He banished it to activate its effect, and once again lost out to Magri’s Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring! Next, he activated Spright Starter to Special Summon Spright Red from his Deck! He dropped down to 6800 Life Points by doing so and then Normal Summoned Nimble Beaver. He activated its effect to Special Summon a Nimble Angler from his Deck and then Link Summoned Spright Sprind. He used its effect to send an Angler from his Deck to his Graveyard and then used the Angler’s effect to Special Summon two Nimble Beavers from his Deck. He combined a Beaver with the Sprind to Xyz Summon Gigantic Spright and then activated its effect, but lost out to Infinite Impermanence. But Sacchetti wasn’t done there – he Special Summoned Spright Blue from his hand and used its effect to grab Spright Jet from his Deck! He Special Summoned the Jet and used its effect to add Spright Starter to his hand. Next, he sent Jet and Blue to the Graveyard to Link Summon Spright Elf. He Link Summoned I:P Masquerena next and then Set a card to his back row before ending his turn.

Magri activated Pot of Prosperity by banishing 6 cards from his Extra Deck face-down and Sacchetti used Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring to stop it. Magri immediately conceded, as his dire search for a helpful card from the top 6 cards of his Deck was stopped.

The Match is moving on to a third and final Duel!

Duel Three

Magri started off the final Duel by activating the effect of Exosister Martha to try to Special Summon it from his hand along with a monster from his Deck; but Sacchetti used Ash Blossom to stop the effect and leave it in his hand! Next, Magri Normal Summoned Stella. Then he used Elis’s effect to Special Summon it from his hand and gain 800 Life Points. He Xyz Summoned Exosister Mikailis next and used its effect to add Exosister Vadis to his hand. He Set 2 cards to his back row and then ended his turn.

Sacchetti activated Twin Twisters by discarding Water Enchantress of the Temple to target both of Magri’s face-down cards! Magri Chained Returnia targeting the Water Enchantress in the Graveyard, and then Chained Vadis. He Special Summoned Sophia and Irene with Vadis and then used them both to Xyz Summon another Mikailis as Returnia resolved. Water Enchantress was banished by the effect of Returnia as well. Sacchetti followed up by activating Rite of Aramesir and Chaining the effect of the Wandering Gryphon Rider in his hand. He Special Summoned an Adventurer Token and played Fateful Adventure from his Deck before Summoning the Gryphon Rider to his field. Next, he Normal Summoned Spright Jet and activated the effect of Fateful Adventure to add Dracoback, the Rideable Dragon from his Deck to his hand. He equipped it to the Token and then used its effect to try to return the newly Summoned Mikailis to the Extra Deck. Magri Chained Mikailis’s effect, but Sacchetti used his Wandering Gryphon Rider’s effect to stop the effect of Mikailis and destroy it! Next, Sacchetti Link Summoned Spright Elf and used its effect to Special Summon Spright Jet from his Graveyard. He used the Jet’s effect to add Spright Starter to his hand and then used the effect of Fateful Adventure to add a Water Enchantress from his Deck to his hand and discard it. He banished the Water Enchantress to add a Rite of Aramesir to his hand and then combined the Elf with the Jet to Xyz Summon Gigantic Spright. He used the effect of Gigantic Spright to detach the Jet and Special Summon Spright Blue from his Deck. He used Blue’s effect to add Spright Jet to his hand and then Special Summoned it. He sent Blue and Jet to the Graveyard to Link Summon Spright Sprind and then used Sprind’s effect to send Nimble Angler from his Deck to his Graveyard. He used the effect of Angler to Special Summon two Nimble Beavers and then combined both Beavers to Xyz Summon Onibimaru Soul Sweeper. He used its effect to banish Mikailis and then attacked directly with Gigantic Spright, Spright Sprind, and Onibimaru. Finally, he activated Spright Starter to Special Summon Spright Red in Attack Position and attacked directly with it to end the Duel!

Leonardo Sacchetti is moving on to the Top 32 with his Adventure Spright Deck!
