Angel Zayren Flores Covarrubias is one of the most decorated Duelists in the tournament today, with not one, not two, but a whopping three YCS wins in his illustrious Dueling career! He’s 8-2 this weekend with Demise Kozmos, the emerging third variant of the Kozmo theme that first rose to prominence just two weeks ago, at YCS Providence. His opponent is Mario Andres Enriquez, piloting Extra Deck Monarchs. This one is anybody’s game, but Majesty’s Fiend could become a big factor if Garcia can get it into play.

Our Round 9 Top Table Update revealed that at least two Yosenju Duelists had a strong shot at making the Top 64 this weekend, and when we saw that Alonso Valente Llerenas had won his Round 9 Match, we wanted to see his Yosenjus in action. The Yosenju deck plays Card of Demise and a deep trap lineup of deadly floodgate cards, creating control-oriented set-ups that keep your opponent from playing the game.
No lock lasts forever, but since Yosenjus offer a string of extra
Normal Summons, the lock doesn’t have to last long. Just long enough for a couple turns of unopposed attacks. In a tournament where so many Matches have become grind games going to time, that speed and overwhelming early game make Yosenjus a strong bet.
Llerenas traveled here this weekend from Tijuana, and his opponent this round is Queretaro’s Guillermo Villicana Santillan, playing Monarchs. Monarchs are the most-represented theme in the tournament this weekend, and at the top tables right now, so this would’ve been a priority match-up for Llerenas when he was building his Deck. This should be interesting to watch.

Rishi Nishant Doodhnath Tripathi is the National Champion of Trinidad & Tobago, and is currently undefeated in this tournament. But his opponent is the reason we pulled this table for the final Feature Match of the day. Adrian Madriz Espinoza is from right here in Guadalajara, and is undefeated with Tzolkin Monarchs. We’ve heard a lot about the Deck lately, but have yet to see it in a Feature Match outside of Europe.

With just two more rounds left in the tournament today, now’s a great time to look at the top tables and see what Decks are currently doing the best. In any Swiss-style tournament, the most successful competitors are grouped together to play against each other; that way everyone competes against players with equal records, and roughly similar skill levels. As a Duelist racks up more and more points over the course of a tournament, they’re pushed further and further toward Table Number 1, with the lowest table numbers the exclusive domain of undefeateds.
