It all comes down to this! Jeff Jones from Michigan is Dueling against Jeremy Mitchell from Jacksonville, Florida in a Match that will determine who is the Ultimate Duelist! It’s Pendulum Magicians versus Pendulum Magicians in the Finals of the Ultimate Duelist Series Invitational – Summer 2017! Let’s Duel!
Only two rounds remain! This Match pits two all-star Duelists against one another: Jeff Jones and Esala Wathuthantrige! Jones narrowly missed out on attending the World Championship this year, coming just barely behind Wathuthantrige and Billy Brake in Worlds Qualifying Points. Now Jones gets a chance to surpass Wathuthantrige by becoming the Ultimate Duelist! Of course, Wathuthantrige won’t make it easy for him in this Pendulum Magician mirror match! It’s time to Duel!
Calvin Tahan from Arlington, Virginia and Jacob Silverman from Miami, Florida both survived the 12 Swiss Rounds and made it to the Top 8 of the Ultimate Duelist Series Invitational – Summer 2017 here in Kissimmee, Florida! Now they’re Dueling against one another in a Match that will determine which Duelist advances to the Top 4. Silverman is using a True Draco Deck with no Extra Deck (in order to take advantage of Side Decked copies of The Monarchs Erupt). Tahan is using an ABC Deck built around ABC-Dragon Buster, which also includes several True Draco cards. Although Pendulum Magician Decks make up the majority of the Top 8, the Duelists in this Match chose to forgo a Pendulum strategy when selecting their Decks, and both Duelists were thus far rewarded for it with a Top 8 finish. Who will advance to the Top 4? We’re about to find out. It’s time to Duel!
Welcome to the final round of Swiss! We’ve got two Duelists on the bubble – they’ll need a win to have a shot at the Top 8. Los Angeles Duelist Esala Wathuthantrige just went to the World Championship last month, and would love to add the title of Ultimate Duelist to his resume. It won’t be easy, because he has to take down Ruben Penaranda from Miami in a Pendulum Magician mirror-match! This matchup can be very volatile, with Wavering Eyes making a massive impact.
Calvin Tahan from Virginia and Manav Dawar from Seattle are both currently 8-2 in the Ultimate Duelist Series Invitational here in Kissimmee, Florida, and now they’re Dueling against one another in this Round 11 Feature Match! Tahan is using an ABC Deck that includes a small True Draco engine to give it a boost, while Dawar is using a more dedicated True Draco Deck. Will the ABC monsters give Tahan the edge in this Match? We’re about to find out. It’s time to Duel!
Welcome to Round 10! For this round, we’re looking at Michael State, from Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and his Trickstar Deck. We saw Trickstars in two Feature Matches yesterday, with Kesavan Kushalnagar piloting them, but State’s Deck is quite different. He plays a lot more Trap Cards, as well as Scapegoat. His opponent is Jack Belter, from Dallas, TX, using an ABC Deck! He’s packing a few True Draco cards, to simultaneously use Dragonic Diagram to trigger his Machines’ effects, and to take advantage of the power of Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King. Both of these are Decks mostly under the radar right now, so this should be a great Match. It’s time to Duel!
Cristopher Ramos from Houston, TX and Jeremy Mitchell from Jacksonville, FL are both currently 6-2 in their quest to become the Ultimate Duelist. Ramos is the last remaining Dinosaur Duelist in the tournament, while Mitchell is one of the thirteen Pendulum Magician Duelists still in the tournament. Now, these two Duelists are Dueling against one another. Will the dominant Pendulum Magician strategy prevail in this Round 9 Feature Match, or will the lone Dino Duelist beat the odds? It’s time to Duel!
We saw Rochester Duelist Kesavan Kushalnagar in our Round 1 Feature Match, where he totally dominated with Trickstars. He’s back again, with a nearly perfect record – he has only lost one time, ironically against another Trickstar Deck. He’s facing Richard Wattle, a Michigan Duelist using Pendulum Magicians. It’s the final Swiss Round today, and these Duelists are looking to finish with a strong start on Day 2. It’s time to Duel!
New York’s Roland Fang represented the United States in the 2017 Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME World Championship in Tokyo, Japan, earning a Top 8 finish. Now he’s here in Florida, searching for the title of Ultimate Duelist and the accompanying belt! His Round 7 opponent is Detroit, Michigan’s Charles Henderson. Henderson is using a True Draco Spellbook Deck that has proven to be popular this weekend, while Fang is using a less traditional Invoked Windwitch Deck. Both Duelists are currently 4-2 in the tournament, so they’ll both need a victory in this Swiss Round in order to maintain a strong shot at a Top Cut finish. It’s time to Duel!
It’s Round 6, and we have two undefeated Michigan Duelists here! Jeff Jones is using a Pendulum Magician Deck, a strategy that’s shown to be very popular this weekend. The newest Forbidden & Limited List left the strategy largely untouched, and even gave them three copies of Wavering Eyes to play with if they so desire. He’s up against Zachary Poling’s Infernoid Deck! Infernoids dropped in popularity after That Grass Looks Greener was Limited over the summer, but this weekend’s it’s proving that it is still a Deck not to be trifled with. It’s time to Duel!
