Roy St. Clair made it to the Top 4 of this SHONEN JUMP Championship with his innovative X-Saber Deck – an accomplishment that hadn’t been achieved before the release of Absolute Powerforce. His opponent, Adric High, is running a Lightsworn-based Zombie Deck in the tournament, and will be trying his best to make sure St. Clair doesn’t advance any further. Read more…
Travis Gibbs is the only Gladiator Beast Duelist to make it to Day 2, and since then he’s advanced to the Top 8 by beating Abel Carrasco’s Lightsworn-based Deck in the Top 16. But his opponent, Satoshi Kato, won’t make his journey to the Top 4 easy. Kato is running a cool Twilight Zombie Deck with “Phantom of Chaos” and “Sky Scourge Norleras” in it. His only Trap Card is “Treacherous Trap Hole,” which will allow Gibbs to make a lot of confident plays in Duel 1. “Gladiator Beast Retiari” and “Gladiator Beast War Chariot” may be problematic for Satoshi in this match-up. We’re about to see how it will play out. Read more…
This Match sees 2 of the weekend’s most successful Duelists using Lightsworn monsters go head-to-head, as Adric High takes Zombie Lightsworn against Dan Rose’s Kristya Twilight. “Archlord Kristya” and “Chaos Sorcerer” are going to be a big factor in this Duel: High may have to outspeed Rose’s control-oriented cards, but with so many Special Summon effects in the mix it’s really anybody’s game. Rose and High wasted no time getting right to it! Read more…

Eighteen year-old Michael Anderson is one of many Duelists this weekend that made the trip down from Seattle, Washington, and he’s one of 2 competitors playing pure Lightsworn in the Top 16. His opponent is Modesto, California’s own Hunter Morgan, a 16 year-old Duelist wielding Zombies that we saw in Feature Match action in Day 1.
