This was it: out of a field of Blackwings, Gladiator Beasts, Machina Gadgets, Naturias, Scraps, and dozens of other Decks, one Deck was left in this tournaement – X-Sabers. While Roy St. Clair was piloting a focused X-Saber Deck with Gold Sarcophagus, Bellido was running X-Sabers with cards like Effect Veiler, Super-Nimble Mega Hamster, Debris Dragon, and Pot of Duality instead of Sarcophagus.
Four Duelists remained in this tournament: two X-Saber Duelists, one Lightsworn, and one Machina Gadgets. Roy St. Clair and Alex Vansant were Dueling for a seat in the finals, and a set of the Darklord Prize cards – the winner here would be guaranteed a set of prize cards, while the defeated Duelist would have to compete and win third place to score their set. Vansant was playing Machina Gadgets, while St. Clair was running X-Sabers.
You saw them both defeat their opponent’s last round, but now they have to Duel each other with a guaranteed Set of Darklord Prize Cards on the line!
Kareem O’Brien is here today running Infernities. This is his first big tournament showings and he’s up against Lazaro Bellido, a former National and Shonen Jump Championship Tournament Champion who is here today using X-Sabers. Both players here are from the Toronto area and have played each other multiple times in the past. Will O’Brien be able to stand up to Bellido or will he fall short of the goal line?

One of the few Decks we didn’t get to take a look at yesterday was piloted to the Top 16 this weekend by Nick Ristoski: a LIGHT Beatdown Deck called “Gemini City.” Packing Skill Drain, Gemini Spark, and Hero Blast, Ristoski’s Deck is extremely good at disrupting his opponent’s combos.
His opponent is Roy St. Clair, wielding his signature X-Saber Deck with triple XX-Saber Emmersblade. St. Clair mowed through the opposition yesterday with Cold Wave and triple Trap Stun, playing XX-Saber Hyunlei to the hilt in a field where Duelists often Set far too many cards to their Spell and Trap Card Zone. The pickings wouldn’t be so easy today.
