Only four Duelists remain! We have Jose Osores, all the way from Peru! He’s the last Trickstar Duelist remaining in the tournament. His opponent is a SPYRAL Duelist, Valente Alonso Llerenas, from right here in San Diego. Only one Duelist can move on from here to the grand finals – it’s time to Duel!
Reader, do we have an amazing Match for you or what. It’s yesterday’s Dragon Duel winner Dawson Graves, up against today’s winner and Dawson’s brother, Dylan Graves! These two Duelists are from nearby Bakersfield. Only one of them can become the YCS San Diego Dragon Duel Champion – this is sibling rivalry at its finest. Dawson is playing a Pendulum Magician Deck, while Dylan has chosen SPYRAL. The victor will not only become Champion – he’ll also get a trophy and one of each of the Darklord YCS Prize Cards!
Only one round of Swiss remains! These two Duelists are on the bubble, each with 8-2 records. A win is needed here for a shot at the Top 32. We have Esteban Vences, from Santa Ana, CA, playing Pendulum Magicians. The Deck was unquestionably the strongest, but once Circuit Break released a SPYRAL Link Monster, all that went out the window. He’s showing that’s it’s still a consistent and powerful Deck, and so far it’s worked very well for him. His opponent is Edward Schumm, from San Luis Rio Colorado, in Sonora, Mexico. He’s using a Trickstar Deck packing Windwitch cards. This should be a great Match!
Welcome to Day 2 of YCS San Diego! Adam Belohradsky is a talented Duelist from Fullerton, CA, who has multiple YCS top cut placings. He’s been on a break from Dueling, but is back this weekend with SPYRAL! His opponent is Kesavan Kushalnagar, from Rochester, NY. We saw last saw Kushalnagar when he made the Top 8 at the UDS Invitational in Orlando, becoming the first person to make the top cut of a premier event with Trickstars. Read more…
It’s the final round of Swiss! We’ve got Toronto Duelist Matthew Vanden Heuvel, packing a combination SPYRAL + Pendulum Magician strategy. He’s looking to get the best of both worlds by mixing the two top strategies from the last few months. His opponent is Elroi Felicitas, from right here in San Diego. He’s packing a World Chalice Deck, looking to combo off with a ton of Link Summons!
It’s Round 6, and we’ve got Jackson Rauch, from Prescott, AZ, playing Magical Musketeers! These new cards from Spirit Warriors have some awesome gunfighting tricks that let them play Magical Musket cards and Spell & Trap Cards from the hand at any time, and have effects when a Spell or Trap Card is activated in the same column as them. His opponent is Avery Foster, from San Antonio, TX, playing SPYRAL. The strategy was uncontested as the number one strategy a few weeks ago, but a new Forbidden & Limited List has put them in check. Will the previous top Deck win, or will a brand new contender take the victory?
Welcome to Round 2! This Match features Kyle Fong, from Sacramento, CA, using the ultimate Spellcaster – Dark Magician! His build features The Eye of Timaeus and the new Dark Magician the Dragon Knight. His opponent is Steven Eastwood, from Chino Hills, CA, packing a Kozmo Deck. It’s classic wizards versus space wizards!
Welcome to Round 1 of YCS San Diego! We have David Alives, from Brea, CA, packing an innovative Subterror Invoked strategy! He has some combos with Subterror Nemesis Warrior and Subterror Behemoth Phospheroglacier, allowing big plays into cards like Naturia Beast. He’s also packing a whopping 8 Field Spells! His opponent is Jonathan Lu from San Francisco, CA, using a Lightsworn-Zombie-SPYRAL hybrid. Lightsworn Zombies has been a strong Deck over the last year, but we haven’t really seen it combined with SPYRAL before – will Lu’s mixture pay off? It’s time to Duel!
