Landon Oliver from Colorado!
Oliver bested over 900 Duelists across 15 Round with his Azamina Snake-Eye Fire King Deck to become this year’s YCS Niagara Falls Champion! Our congratulations go to our newly minted YCS Champion and all our amazing competitors here at YCS Niagara Falls!

Congratulations!
We have our winners for the Ultimate Time Wizard event at YCS Niagara Falls! These Duelists took a trip back in time to April 2010 and duked it out to see who would get to take home a GIANT sized copy of Rescue Cat!
Here are the standings for the Top 3, along with the Deck types they used:
We are down to the Top 4 here at YCS Niagara Falls! Ryan Carrigan is from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and Ryan Yu is from Toronto, Ontario.
Both Duelists knew each other and recognized that it had been some time since they had last played each other! Yu is playing Sky Striker and Carrigan is playing Labrynth! Two Decks that are making a shocking scene here this weekend as most of the competition was not prepared for either of them. Sadly, only one of these two Duelists can move on to the finals.
It’s Ryan vs. Ryan. Which Ryan will reign supreme? Which one will lose his name (that’s how they do it in Canada, apparently)?
After 15 Rounds of Dueling we have our Top 4 Duelists:
From left to right we have:
Congratulations to our Top 4 Duelists!
Only 8 Duelists remain here at YCS Niagara Falls and one of the matches this round features two Duelists that attended the World Championship this year in Seattle, Washington. Jesse Kotton, from Toronto, Ontario, one of the current Master Duel World Champions is about to face off against Landon Oliver from Colorado, who earned his invitation to the World Championship by getting 4th Place at the North America WCQ this year.
Both Duelists are playing Snake-Eye Azamina Fire King, packed with a bunch of new cards from Rage of the Abyss.
Only 32 Duelists remain here at YCS Niagara Falls, and we are now in the single-elimination rounds! Seated at Table 1 we have the Duelists that finished 1st and 32nd in the Swiss Rounds: Pakawat Pamornsut from New Brunswick, New Jersey finished in 1st Place and is facing off against Anthony Confletti from Leesburg, Virginia.
Pamornsut is already walking away with an oversized copy of Anotherverse Solaria for going undefeated in Swiss, and now he’s trying to keep his record pristine in the Top Cut. He’s had a fantastic weekend so far, but his opponent wasn’t going to make it easy for him: Confletti’s one of several Yubel Duelists who just made into the Top Cut with some tight Dueling in the first two rounds of competition today.
It’s Day 2 here at YCS Niagara Falls, and 139 competitors are still in the hunt for the Top Cut! Right now we have two decorated Duelists in the competition with UDS and YCS Champion Cameron Neal from Dallas, Texas, facing off against 2-time TEAM YCS Champion, Dominic Couch from Savannah, Georgia.
Both Duelists are 6-2 and are on the bubble! This match determines who will advance to the Top 32 and who gets to go back to America.
While both Duelists were shuffling up, they exchanged pleasantries about their previous clashes. These Duelists are long-time friends, but they both know that only one of them can continue in this tournament.
