Jack Hoyt and Brandon Miotke are both running X-Sabers in today’s Dragon Duels. They fought through 5 rounds of swiss and 2 rounds of elimination to make it into the finals here. Hoyt went completely undefeated, while Miotke has one loss from the swiss rounds. You may remember Brandon Miotke as the winner of previous Dragon Duels, including the Dragon Duel in New Jersey that awarded him a Dark End Dragon prize card. But Jack Hoyt is a rising star, sure to make this a memorable Match.
The winner here will be awarded a free trip to Japan, to attend Jump Festa, the huge SHONEN JUMP convention. So both Duelists will definitely be giving it their all!

As the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series and tournaments like this weekend’s WCQ keep growing, more and more Yu-Gi-Oh! fans are becoming part of these big-event experiences. One part of that trend is costumes – Duelists dressing like their favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! characters. It’s not a common sight yet, but little by little, dedicated costumed Duelists are beginning to appear at the biggest tournaments.
Emily Nelsen is one example. She first turned heads at YCS Chicago when she appeared in her full Akiza costume. She reprised that role this weekend, wowing 5D’s fans and competitive Duelists alike. Naturally we had to talk to her, and she graciously obliged.
