Now that the dust has settled, you can read our post-event analysis of each Feature Match from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series San Jose held last month. Here’s a match-by-match list:
Jack Hoyt took down Obelisk the Tormentor with his X-Saber Deck to earn his way to this final Match. His opponent, Alex Vansant, defeated a Blackwing Deck with his Machina Gadgets. Both Duelists are strong competitors, but only one of them will be able to win this Match and take home a set of Darklord Prize Cards. Read more…
Whenever you play in a tournament during a YCS weekend, you get points. At the end of the event, players who have racked up the most points can have a chance to compete in a 4-player mini-tournament. The winner of this tournament wins a set of all 3 YCS Prize Cards!
In our Top 4 at the end of this weekend, we have Jack Hoyt. He’s 12 years old and won the Dragon Duel championship at the United States World Championship Qualifier in Minneapolis this summer. He made into the points playoffs by using his X-Saber Deck all weekend. His opponent, Kory Choy, is 7 years old and used a cool Deck with 3 copies of Obelisk the Tormentor in it. His Deck is full of monsters that swarm the field with monsters for him to Tribute. Will an Egyptian God be enough to take down star-Duelist Jack Hoyt? Read more…
Tyler Cole and Jason Huertas traveled here together this weekend from Reno, Nevada. Now, one of them would walk away with a set of the Darklord Prize Cards! Huertas is playing X-Sabers, while Cole is running Gladiator Beasts. Let’s get to it! Read more…

Austin Kulman and Pete Navarro have both made it to the Top 8 of the YCS. Kulman got here with X-sabers, but his opponent, Pete Navarro made it here with a teched out Quickdraw Deck running Volcanic Shell in his Main Deck. Will creativity win out over tradition? Read more…
Angel Flores is here in the Top 8 piloting a Gemini Deck like one that made the top cut 3 weeks ago in YCS Toronto. But his opponent is Jonathan Cortez, a Machina Gadget Duelist. Machina Gadgets are usually a pretty good matchup for Gemini, since an early Elemental Hero Stratos can create enough momentum to leave the Gadget Duelist on the defensive. Read more…
Chris Hurayt and Mark Garcia both made it to the Top 16 with Blackwings. Garcia lives right here in California, and Hurayt drove in from Vegas. Both Duelists have had Feature Matches this weekend, but there was never this much pressure. The winner here will advance to the Top 8, while the other competitor will be eliminated. Read more…
