Here are all the Decks that made the Top 32 in the YCS Main Event!

In a huge upset, Rescue-ACE are no longer the most represented Deck!

This is it, the final Swiss round of the tournament! After this we’ll be cutting to just the final Top 32 Duelists. This Feature Match pits two YCS first-timers against each other! Max Lehmann from Sioux Falls South Dakota is playing Scareclaw, and he’s facing Andrew Willett, from Scarbro West Virginia, playing Runick Stun!

Scareclaws make some powerful plays, and they’re good at fighting a war of attrition thanks to their Field Spell and multiple options for removal. On the other side, Runick Decks like Willett’s seek to lock down the field with tons of floodgates, negations, and well-timed destructions, while keeping their hand full thanks to their own Field Spell. Both Duelists are on the bubble, looking for a win to make that coveted Top Cut spot.

Here are the top Decks remaining in the competition, as we begin the final Round of Swiss here at YCS Richmond!

Rescue-ACE is still in the lead, taking up one fourth of all the top Decks…

Here’s the full Deck breakdown of all 1,494 Decks here this weekend at YCS Richmond!

A lot of these Decks were popular and expected, but there’s no shortage of surprises!

There are all sorts of awesome, exclusive prizes to claim from the Public Events Prize Wall this weekend! Bradul “Tony” Ortiz has cashed in his Public Events tickets for one of the greatest prizes of all — a Super Rare copy of the 2018 YCS Prize Card, Chaos Emperor, the Dragon of Armageddon!

This card is an amazing collector’s item, on top of being a powerhouse in a Duel! When Tony heard that this was a potential prize, he immediately hit the Public Events grind to earn enough tickets and claim it for himself. Congratulations!

Here are all the Decks that made the Day 2 cutoff, here at YCS Richmond!

Rescue-ACE Decks have a narrow lead heading into Day 2, all of which are running the Sinful Spoils lineup. They make up 22% of the field, so the Deck’s definitely living up to the hype…

Here are the Decks at the top 20 tables as we began Round 9!

We have a huge variety here, though a few Decks stand out…

This is it, the final Round of Swiss competition here in Day 1 of YCS Richmond! We liked Gilles Thomas’s Dinomorphia Exosister Deck so much, we brought him back for another Feature Match. If you missed it, you can see it in action winning our Round 7 Feature Match, where he took down Haris Mirzada’s Adventure Plunder Patroll Deck.

This time, he’s up against Muhtasim Mallick, a Long Island Duelist playing Purrely. This matchup could get interesting, since Purrely Pretty Memory can manipulate the Dinomorphia Duelist’s Life Points, but Purrely are also susceptible to a lot of the Exosister and Dinomorphia effects. There’s only one way to find out how it’ll go: It’s time to Duel!

Here are the Top 3 Duelists for today’s Speed Duel ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! tournament.

In 1st Place we have Brian Xelo, winning a GIANT version of Arkana’s Dark Magician! In 2nd Place, Cody Bodnar with a slightly smaller oversized Dark Magician of his own! And in 3rd place is Shaun Bryan with an oversized Anti-Magic Arrows! Congratulations to today’s triumphant Speed Duelists!

This Round 7 Feature Match is going to be a banger! We have two Duelists with 5-1 records and Decks that truly stand out against the expected field. First up is Haris Mirzada, from nearby Bristow, Virginia. Mirzada’s using an Adventure Plunder Patroll Deck with Synchros, Xyz, and Links, while getting extra advantage from the Adventure engine’s tokens and interactions.

His opponent is Gilles Thomas, from not-so-nearby Paris, France! He’s using a Dinomorphia Exosister Deck, looking to make explosive plays that lock down the field and Graveyard at the cost of his own Life Points.
