Robert Kenny III from Orlando, Florida is entering at the 10th seed with a record of 10-2 with his… well, we’ve been calling it Phantom Knight Orcust all weekend on Top Tables Updates and such, but there’s also Machina Fortress, Mecha Phantom Beast O-Lion, and Mecha Phantom Beast Tetherwolf on the list along with Carboneddon and Galaxy Serpent, and there’s 60 cards… so…?

Matthew McRae from Toronto, Canada is Dueling against World Championship competitor Gabriel Vargas, also from Toronto, Canada, in this Round 11 Feature Match! Both Duelists currently have 8-1-1 records in the tournament, and are looking for a couple more wins to secure a spot in the top cut. Vargas is using the pure Thunder Dragon Deck that we saw in yesterday’s Round 9 Feature Match, and McRae is using a Gouki Deck reminiscent of the old days with Firewall Dragon.

Welcome to Round 8! If I told you that Witchcrafters were 6-1 at the UDS Invitational, you’d assume I was living in a different dimension. Well, this is real life. Robert Glen Riley IV from East Liverpool, Ohio has Witchcrafters, a strategy that saw its debut in The Infinity Chasers earlier this year but wasn’t on anyone’s radar. Riley is 6-1 going into Round 8, and he’s taking on Jimmy Nguyen with his Sky Striker Deck. Let’s see what the Witchcrafters can do! It’s time to Duel! Read more…
Alex Mondlak from Westerville, Ohio is Dueling against Shawn Rai from Long Island, New York in a Round 7 Feature Match that pits 2 of the undefeated Duelists against one another. Alex Mondlak is using Cyber Dragons, just like he did in his Feature Match at YCS Chicago this past February. Cyber Dragons are a strong choice for this weekend’s tournament, since they were pretty much unaffected by the latest Forbidden & Limited List. Rai is using a Salamangreat Deck. Salamangreats took a hit by the latest Forbidden & Limited List since Salamangreat Gazelle and Salamangreat Circle are newly Limited, but Rai – and many other Duelists using Salamangreat Decks this weekend – have proven that they’re still a force to be reckoned with in the new Advanced Format. It’s time to Duel! Read more…
