There are tons of hidden gems this weekend, from Primal Origins, Dragons of Legend and beyond! Innovation and the ability to stay even just one step ahead of the pack can often win Championships, so finding those strong and unexpected darkhorse picks can be huge. We asked competitors what cards they believed were the most underrated of the weekend; here’s what they had to say!
Florida’s Michael Sanders is Dueling against Harrisburg, Pennsylvania’s Brayden Wills in this Round 7 Feature Match! Sanders has been using Scraps since they were first released in Duelist Revolution, and has recently powered up his Deck with 3 copies of Scrap Factory from Primal Origin. His opponent, Brayden Wills, is unfamiliar with the Scrap strategy, and is relying on Madolches to overwhelm his opponents this weekend. Will Michael Sanders be able to use the element of surprise to take the advantage over Brayden Wills? We’re about to find out. It’s time to Duel!

Long Island’s Garrison Valliere is competing this weekend with a “Hand” Deck featuring Don Zaloog. He uses Fire Hand and Ice Hand to destroy his opponents’ Spells, Traps, and monsters, and uses Don Zaloog to discard cards from his opponent’s hand. Valliere’s controlling Hands have been difficult for opponents to overcome this weekend, allowing him to pilot his Deck to its current 4-1 record. Now, he’s Dueling against Nareg Torossian – a Fire Fist Duelist from Boston who’s hoping that his conventional strategy will be able to triumph over Valliere’s unique Hands. Which one of these Duelists will advance to a 5-1 record? We’re about to find out! It’s time to Duel!
Eaton Guo is 5-1 with Worms, competing this round against Jerald Acosta, 5-1 with Evilswarms. Guo was at Table 2 last round and was quietly winning Match after Match with one of the strangest decks of the tournament – a deck we’ve seen him play in major tournaments before. A win here would keep the Top 32 dream alive for the victor, while the defeated duelist would have tow in out in the rest of Day 1 and Day 2 to guarantee their spot in the playoffs.
Who would triumph?! We were about to find out.
