QQ stands for Quick Questions! Here at YCS Vancouver, one of the most popular Public Events is theTime WizardApril 2010 Advanced Format tournament. This Format was used at the 75th YCS in Edison, New Jersey, and it’s become a very popular Time Wizard Public Event that tons of players have chosen to participate in this weekend.
With the original events having taken place over a decade ago, there are many iconic cards that don’t see play in 2023, but used to wreak havoc back in April 2010! This weekend, we asked some Duelists participating in the Time Wizard Public Events about their favourite cards to use in that particular format. It’s always interesting to hear from Duelists today, looking back on older formats. Here’s what they had to say…
