Finals Feature Match: Carl Manigat vs Shunping Xu
February 16th, 2020
Carl Manigat, from Long Island, made it to the finals of last year’s Winter Invitational in Las Vegas, and in an incredible feat, has made it back to the final table! He doesn’t want to miss out on the belt twice, but his opponent is no pushover. Shunping Xu from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania won YCS Pasadena in 2018 and started this tournament 10-0, taking only two losses via immediate concessions in Rounds 11 and 12 once his record was strong enough to ensure a playoff appearance. Both players are immensely talented but only one can walk away with the championship title belt. Who will be the Ultimate Duelist? For the final time this weekend… it’s time to Duel!

Top 8 Feature Match: Mitchell Martin vs. Shunping Xu
February 16th, 2020
Welcome to Top 8! It’s single elimination from here on out, and this Top 8 is as strong as any Top 8 as I’ve ever seen. The third seed Shunping Xu has a strategy that we’re pretty sure no one else has brought to the tournament: Rokkets. He started the tournament with 10 straight wins, an impressive feat that secured his appearance in the Top 8 before the Swiss rounds even ended. His opponent is Mitchell Martin who has Lunalight / Zoodiac / Fire Fists and who we’ve featured previously this weekend. Only one of these players will make it to Top 4. It’s time to Duel!

Round 11: Mitchell Ryan Martin vs. Kenneth Wayne McRae
February 16th, 2020
Welcome to Round 11! The two decks at Table 4 are unique, but one is more so than the other. Mitchell Martin has Lunalights but also includes an amount of Brotherhood of the Fire Fist cards alongside a compact Zoodiac engine which can turn a spent Fire Formation – Tenki into a Zoodiac Thoroughblade that can extend plays. His opponent, Ken McRae, however, has a Deck that is very much the opposite of a combo Deck: Mystic Mine burn. The objective of this Deck is to protect Mystic Mine and then slowly burn the opponent with the effect of Cauldron of the Old Man. It’s taken McRae this far, let’s see what happens in the penultimate round of Swiss! It’s time to Duel!
