David Mendoza won it all this weekend with an innovative Danger Deck featuring Gizmek Orochi and Gren Maju Da Eiza, a callback to the dedicated Danger decks that tore up YCS Niagara Falls last year! His strategy wins by unleashing lots of big attackers in one turn, and the sheer amount of draw power makes it tremendously consistent.
Textbook. That’s the only way to describe Dominic Couch’s Sky Striker build that won him 3rd Place here at YCS Niagara Falls. The Sky Striker theme arrived almost a year and a half ago in Dark Saviors and ever since players have worked to hone and perfect the consensus build, overcoming knocks from the F&L List to create the quintessential consistency build we now know.
Here are the Top 4 Duelists from YCS Niagara Falls!
YCS Niagara Falls is over, and it’s truly one for the history books. Congratulations to our new Champion!
Anandeth Sinhradsvong is the last Salamangreat Duelist left in the tournament and the last competitor who hasn’t had a Feature Match yet, so this was an easy pick. He was up against David Mendoza, fresh off several Feature Match wins today with his Danger Gren Maju Deck. The winner here would clinch a Championship Prize Card and have a shot at the title of YCS Niagara Falls Champion.
Almost every competitor remaining in the tournament has had a Feature Match today, one of the exceptions being Austin Colling, who traveled here this weekend from Ohio. With Cyber Dragon variants all over the Top 8 bracket we decided to check in again with David Mendoza, the last Gren Maju Duelist left in the tournament. In his Top 32 Feature Match this morning Mendoza cleaved through his opponent in minutes; would luck be on his side once again, or was Austin Colling about to punch his ticket to the Top 4?
David Mendoza is one of two competitors to make it to the Top 32 with a Gren Maju Da Eiza Deck. His build relies heavily on a Danger backbone including Danger! Response Team and Danger! Zone, and we haven’t seen it in action in a Feature Match yet this weekend. His opponent is Luis Christian Villalpando Chavez piloting Sky Strikers.
For the first time ever, this YCS weekend hosted an ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! Speed Duel tournament! And for their efforts the winning Duelists were awarded a fitting prize: GIANT copies of the Destiny Draw Skill Card. Check out the Top 3 from today’s competition…
Day 2 is in full swing! Here are the pairings at the Top Tables here in Round 10, the final Round of Swiss competition remaining before the Top Cut!
