Marcus Carisse made it to the Top 32 of YCS Chicago with his Geargia Deck; but now, he must cast aside his Deck and build a new one out of the cards he drafts from Battle Pack 2: War of the Giants – Round 2! Carisse has never drafted Battle Pack 2: War of the Giants – Round 2 before, but Jesse Choate – a Duelist well-practiced in Battle Pack 2: War of the Giants – Round 2, who made it to the Top 4 with his draft Deck at YCS Atlanta – gave Carisse tips on drafting that he hopes will carry him through to the finals.
It’s time to draft!

Seattle, Washington’s Tatsuaki Yajima went 10-1 in the Swiss Rounds of the YCS this weekend with his Prophecy Deck – a Deck that we have not yet seen in action in a Feature Match this weekend.

Both Duelists’ life in the tournament is on the line in this Top 32 Feature Match, as only the victor will advance to the Top 16. It’s time to Duel!

Local Chicago Duelist Gabriel Andrade lost his first 2 rounds of the tournament, but kept his spirits high. He won the next 8 rounds with his Ghostrick Madolche Deck, and is now one win away from a Top 32 finish! Andrade’s opponent, Toronto’s Rob Chung, lost rounds 1 and 3 of the tournament; but like Andrade, he never lost hope – he won the rest of the rounds with his Bujin Deck, and like Andrade, is one victory away from making it to the elimination rounds. Both of these Duelists have made it far in this weekend’s YCS tournament, but only one of them can make it to the Top 32. It’s time to Duel!

Yesterday when Doug Zeeff was savagely blown out by Infernities, we gave him a shot at redemption. Today we’re going to do to the same thing for German Duelist Benedikt Junk! Junk is riding the bubble with an 8-2 record with Dark Worlds, while his opponent Justin Ward has the same record with Fire Fists. Whoever wins here has a very good shot at the Top 32 if not a guaranteed spot in the top cut. The loser will likely be out of the tournament. Justin Ward’s been on the bubble once before, and while Junk has topped several European YCS tournaments, he’s bubbled out here in the US five times. This would be a milestone victory for whoever won this Match.
