We’re looking at new and cool things, and new HERO Decks bolstered by the cards in Battles of Legend: Hero’s Revenge fit the bill!

McNett is the co-owner of Epik Cards and Games, an Official Tournament Store based in Hurst, Texas, so he’ll have some people following his progress back home! Orcust took a hit from the previous Forbidden and Limited List update, losing The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche while HEROs got a second copy of Elemental HERO Stratos in addition to the newest cards from Battles of Legend: Hero’s Revenge.

Round 1 of the Ultimate Duelist Series Invitational is the warm-up. Round 2 is where players with 200 points come into the tournament having spent Round 1 on the sidelines. They start the tournament with a 1-0 record, which is an incredible advantage. Tyler Pfeifer, the winner of the Winter 2019 UDS Invitational, is here with Sky Strikers – the same strategy that won him the belt in March, at Table 1001 (in the VIP section of the room) taking on Kevin Bortle from Dallas, Texas. Bortle has a Traptrix Deck, which takes advantage of the Link Monster Traptrix Sera but also uses Number 39: Utopia Double to quickly end the Duel provided the opponent leaves a monster with 2000 or less ATK on the field in Attack Position. It’s a strategy that can pull wins out of nowhere versus one of the most consistent Decks in the field. It’s time to Duel!

Tyler Cappis from Lexington, Illinois is Dueling against James Armband from Chicago, Illinois in this Round 1 Feature Match! Both Duelists had just enough points to enter this weekends UDS Invitational, and are 2 of the 77 competitors that entered without a BYE in Round 1. Their path to the Finals will be tougher than it will be for the 198 competitors that entered with a BYE, but that doesn’t mean they won’t get there. Cappis is using a Dinosaur Rokket Deck enhanced by the new cards in Structure Deck: Rokket Revolt, and Armband is using a Thunder Dragon Danger! Deck, similar to the ones that were popular in the previous Advanced Format. It’s time to Duel!
