Here are the Pairings for Round 10:
We’re beginning the final Swiss round – here are your top Duelists.
Our first Feature Match today is something you could have expected to see six months ago – Pendulums versus Mekk-Knight Invoked! Pedro Baltazar is here from Puebla, using the Mekk-Knight Invoked Deck. The strategy has seen some updates recently, with the addition of Mekk-Knight of the Morning Star and Aleister the Invoker of Madness. Gustavo Garcia is a local Duelist, and is one of the only Pendulum players still in contention. While it isn’t as popular as it used to be, the strategy is still capable of some huge turns to put together nearly unbreakable boards.
This is it, the final round of Day 1 here at YCS Mexico City! It just goes to show that Dueling is more than a mental game – the long day has taken a physical toll on everyone in the tournament. And yet, they fight on for the title of YCS Champion! Luis Villalpando is here from Tijuana, packing a Sky Striker Deck. He’s against Oscar Perez, from Guererro, and his Sekka’s Burning Abyss Deck. These Duelists are ready to give it their all – it’s time to Duel!
We’re approaching the end of Day 1 here at YCS Mexico City! Rolando Gordon, from Panama, is one of the few Duelists still piloting Gouki. The Gouki strategy was hampered when Knightmare Goblin became Forbidden, restricting their typical combos. In addition, Summon Sorceress is not legal for play in Central America, making things even tougher for the Gouki Duelists! Gordon’s opponent is Cesar Nino, from here in Mexico City. Nino is one of several Duelists using True Draco, but now with an Extra Deck! Most True Draco Duelists eschewed the Extra Deck so they could play The Monarchs Erupt. Now, Duelists are discovering just how good Metaltron XII, the True Dracombatant really is.
