Jonathan Weigle has topped 3 YCS events in the past year. He took second place at YCS Anaheim with Gravekeeper’s, Top 16 at YCS Orlando with Gravekeeper’s, and Top 32 at YCS Atlanta with X-Sabers. Now, he’s back with his Deck of choice, running Gravekeeper’s in the WCQ. His opponent, Nick Amato, doesn’t have any YCS tops and is running a Deck based around the Junk Synchron/Doppelwarrior combo in today’s tournament. Weigle has a favorable Matchup against this sort of Deck, plus experience on his side, so this may be a tough Match for Amato.

His opponent, Alberto Barrera, is competing in his first-ever WCQ with Gravekeeper’s. Boyd’s experience and Deck choice may give him the edge in this Match, but some great draws for Alberto Barrera could allow him to score a huge upset!
