Monday Night Matchup: Dragunity VS Six Samurai

March 28th, 2011

Now that YCS Charlotte has come and gone, it’s time to look back and figure out what matchups are going to be the most prominent in the coming month. After all, the more you know about them, the better your chances of winning are. One of the big new matchups that we saw at YCS Charlotte was the Dragunity versus Six Samurai.

Thanks to the incredible combos and huge turns sparked by Gateway of the Six, Legendary Six Samurai – Kageki, Legendary Six Samurai – Kizan and Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En, it was no surprise that Six Samurai won the event.  Soon after, we saw Gateway of the Six become a Limited card on the new Limited and Forbidden Cards list. While many Duelists saw this change as a problem for their Six Samurai Decks, it may in fact be just what’s needed to help Duelists create an even more powerful Samurai build.
