May 22nd, 2011
Traviis Massengale has traveled this weekend from Topeka, Kansas, making it to the Top 16 yet again. His opponent this round is Jordan Faulkenberry, hailing from the self-described “backwoods of South Carolina.” Faulkenberry’s piloting an interesting T.G.

Deck Profile: Luke Patterson’s Granel Scraps
May 22nd, 2011
Luke Patterson has been playing Scraps ever since they were released, and finished the Swiss rounds of this weekend’s tournament with a 9-1 record by using an updated Scrap Deck that takes advantage of Meklord Emperor Granel, Scrap Orthros, and Reborn Tengu. He also just won his first playoff rounds, utterly dominating Gladiator Beasts, a historically poor matchup for Scraps! His Deck is also packed with tech choices like Fiendish Chain and Scapegoat, which have amazing synergy with his monsters and open up a variety of plays that former Scrap Decks were incapable of making.

Round 10: “D.D.” Christopher Burrows VS Dragontamer Amanda LaPalme
May 22nd, 2011
Amanda LaPalme and Christopher Burrows are both 7-2 in the tournament, with the hope of a Top 32 finish riding on the outcome of this Match. LaPalme is back with her signature Dragon Deck, and Burrows is using a Dimensional Tengu Deck that takes advantage of effects that work when his monsters are removed from the Duel. If Burrows manages to keep his Dimensional Fissure on the field, this will be a difficult Match for LaPalme, who relies on Special Summoning Dragons from her Graveyard.

Here’s what Nunn’s Deck looks like:
