Welcome to Round 1! There’s about 70 players in the tournament right now, but once the players with Round 1 byes enter the fray, we’ll have 243 players in the last Ultimate Duelist Series Invitational in North America!

He’s taking on Stephen Neil Muldoon Marquez from Phoenix, Arizona and his Lunalight Deck.
