August 23rd, 2015

 

Pennsylvania’s Spencer Culwell is Dueling against New Jersey’s Ned Salkovitch in a Top 8 Feature Match that will determine which Duelist advances to the Top 4! Culwell is one of 2 Kozmo Duelists in the Top 8, taking advantage of the new cards in Clash of Rebellions to catch opponents off guard with his new strategy. Salkovitch, on the other hand, is using the tried-and-true Nekroz Deck that we saw him using in earlier Feature Matches. The stakes are high, as the Duelist who is defeated in this Match will be eliminated from the tournament and will be out of contention for the title of “Ultimate Duelist.” It’s time to Duel!

Round 10 Feature Match: Jonathon Nagel vs. Jarred Randolph

August 23rd, 2015

 

Jonathon Nagel from Colorado is currently 7-1-1 with his Burning Abyss Deck, and is presently the highest ranked Duelist in the tournament. Jarred Randolph from Delaware is 6-2-1 with his Nekroz Deck. This is the last round of the tournament before a cut to the Top 8. Although Nagel is virtually guaranteed to make it to the Top 8 regardless of the outcome of this Match, Randolph is likely facing elimination if Nagel defeats him here. That means Randolph will be giving this Match his all! It’s time to Duel!

August 23rd, 2015

Larry Merritt and Jeffrey Strain were in 17th place and 15th place respectively at the end of Day 1, so they’ll need some good luck and great tiebreakers to make it to the Top 8.

Each Duelist needs a victory here in order to remain in contention for the Top 8, but only one of these Duelists can get that victory.
