It all comes down to this! In a matchup that seems indicative of the entire tournament, we have True Draco versus Pendulum Magicians! Juan Andrade, from Ecuador, has already won a UDS Invitational, and he’s hungry to become a YCS Champion too! His True Dracos are being faced by the Pendulum Magicians piloted by Luis Romo, from San Luis. Romo’s no slouch either – he made it to 3rd place of the Central American WCQ this year. One of these talented Duelists is about to become the Champion of YCS Guadalajara – it’s time to Duel!

QQ stands for Quick Questions! After the Orlando UDS Invitational, Pendulum Magicians showed that they were the biggest strategy to contend with. Did their performance cause you to change your Deck in any way?

We’re down to the Top 8! We’ve got Jose Lagunes, from Vera Cruz, who finished in first place in the Swiss rounds. Can be the one to take down Alejandro Navarro’s SPYRALs? We saw Navarro crush his opponent in his last Feature Match, and Lagunes is even playing the same Deck Navarro beat in that Match. Can Lagunes stay in first place, or will we be seeing SPYRALs in the Top 4?

After 9 rounds of intense Dueling, we’re down to just the Top 16 Duelists! We’ve got a local Guadalajara Duelist, Renee Gonzalez Villalobos, playing Trickstars! She’s playing a teched out build with Windwitches and Chain Summoning, which let her make a string of Trickstar Candina plays. Her opponent is Carlos Ramirez, from Uruapan, who’s playing Pendulum Magicians. While the Trickstars have some cool and surprising stuff, the Magician Deck is known for its consistency and resilience. Only one of these Duelists can move on from here… It’s time to Duel!

Welcome to the final round of Swiss! This Match is for national pride, with two Duelists who traveled from other countries to compete! We’ve got Jeffrey Louang from San Diego, California, packing a True Draco Deck. Louang traveled here with several other American players including Barrett Keys and Johnny Site Li, but Louang is outplacing them all with his True Draco Deck. His opponent is Paulo Robert Goncalves da Silva, from Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil! Goncalves is using Pendulum Magicians today. Each of these Duelists has one loss so far, so a win here is required if they want to guarantee a spot in the Top 16. It’s time to Duel!

Welcome to Day 2 of YCS Guadalajara! Alejandro Navarro is here from Mazatlan, and he’s packing a dedicated SPYRAL Deck! Nobody expected this, and he’s taking advantage with this amazing strategy. He has a 6-1 record, so if he can win two more Matches he’ll likely make it to the Top 16! He’s facing Domingo Espejel, from Mexico City. He’s one of the many Pendulum Magician Duelists in attendance, banking on the amazingly resilient and efficient Magicians from Pendulum Evolution. Pendulums are the most represented strategy here at YCS Guadalajara, so Navarro will definitely be prepared for them. Espejel, on the other hand, is probably not expecting SPYRALs.

Welcome Day 1’s final Swiss round! We’ve got Guillermo Soto Beltran, from Culiacan, Sinaloa, packing a Paleozoic Frog Deck. He’s up against Bryan Salvador Mar Berumen, from Tampico, Tamaulipas, who’s using Pendulum Magicians. Paleozoics have a strong matchup against Pendulum strategies, since the Paleozoic Deck can so easily Main Deck or Side Deck Anti-Spell Fragrance. However, Pendulum Magicians didn’t get to be so strong by simply losing to a single card – with careful play, Mar could still win this one. It’s time to Duel!

We’re well on our way through the Swiss rounds of Day 1 here at YCS Guadalajara! For this Match we have Ricardo Lora Zavala, Mexico City, up against Jaime Armando Marquez Avila, from Juarez, Chihuahua. Lora is using a popular Deck from last format, Dinosaurs! Like most Dino Decks, he’s paired it with True Kings and True Dracos to make huge combos with Babycerasaurus. Most Duelists have moved on from Dinosaur Decks after the Forbidden & Limited List put restrictions on Miscellaneousaurus and a multitude of True King and True Draco cards, but Lora’s undefeated record shows that the strategy is still capable of winning. Marquez, on the other hand, is using one of the new strategies from Code of the Duelist: Trickstars! He’s got a unique build which also features Windwitches. Trickstars are a flexible strategy, and almost any Deck will be different. Who will remain undefeated? It’s time to Duel!
