It all came down to this! Michael Stibbins is playing an aggressive Inzektor Deck that players this weekend just haven’t been ready for, while Norberto Leon is running Mermails with Moulinglacia the Elemental Lord and Mirror Force.
Four Duelists were left in this tournament, and while Sorosh Saberian and Norberto Leon played a Mermail mirror match, Adrian Sean Shakir and Michael Stibbins were about to pit Wind-Ups against Inzektors. A win here meant a trip to the Finals and a guaranteed copy of the Championship Prize Card Digvorzhak, King of Heavy Industry!
This is the final battle for our Sunday Dragon Duel! Matthew Wilkinson is fresh off a Feature Match win last round, and looking for more. His opponent is yesterday’s Dragon Duel winner, Marion Smith IV! Marion has switched Decks from yesterday, now playing a Chaos Dragon Deck. Will Matthew’s experience give him the edge, or can Marion take a back-to-back victory at his first YCS? Let’s find out!
We’ve got another of our YCS First-Timers with us, Aaron Garrison. We wanted to take a look at the “Omni-HERO” Deck he told us about earlier. He’s in for a tough battle though, because his opponent is former Dragon WCQ Winner, Seattle’s own Matthew Wilkinson! Matthew is playing a HERO Deck of his own today.
A field of over seven hundred Duelists has been whittled down to just eight competitors! Two of them are running Agents; one is running Inzektors; another is playing Dino Rabbit; one is playing Wind-Ups; and the remaining three are playing Mermails. One of them is Norberto Leon, who you saw disassembling Joseph Giorlando in our Top 32 Feature Match earlier today. His opponent is Agent Duelist Simon He, who’s accredited with the most spectacular win of the tournament thus far, when he defeated Marquis Johnson in Round 6 with a Side Decked copy of Dark Magician. This was going to be another spectacular Match.
Two of our YCS First-Timers are up against each other! We spoke to William yesterday, and we got to know that he plays a Crystal Beast Deck. Mitchell playing a sweet Ninja Chaos Dragon Deck. Let’s see things went down!
Only sixteen Duelists remain. Among them, only three Agent players remain, and two of them are playing against each other right now! Adam Belohradsky is here from Stockton, CA, while Julian is from nearby Vancouver, BC. Only one of these Agent Decks will be moving on!
Both of these competitors have been to a few YCS tournaments earlier in their Dueling careers, but neither have ever made the Top 32 before. Now they’re facing off in the Top 16, in a Match that pits Stibbins’ Inzektors against Gonzalez’s Machina Geargia Deck. One Duelist would be headed from here to the Top 8! The other would be headed nowhere but home.
Welcome to the Top 32! We’ve got Portland’s Christopher Mastenbrook here, battling against Toronto’s own Sorosh Saberian. Only one Duelist can move ahead from this Duel, so they’re going to give it all they’ve got!
Dino Rabbit’s been one of the top Decks in this tournament. A hot prospect heading into the weekend, many Duelists favored it for its advantages in the Mermail match-up. With the ability to negate key effects and make tremendous use of Macro Cosmos, it’s proven to be one of the most successful Decks here this weekend. This Match pits veteran Duelist and repeated YCS Top 32 player Joseph Giorlando, against YCS newcomer Norberto Leon. With Giorlando packing Dino Rabbit and Leon piloting Mermails, this might be an easy path to the Top 16 for Giorlando.
