There’s usually only one Dragon Duel per day during a YCS, but this weekend there are two!  Last time we showcased a Constructed Advanced tournament, and this time we go to the new and shiny Speed Duels!  Speed Duels are played with cards that have “SPEED DUEL” written in the text box’s foil and across from the card’s set number.  This tournament is a Sealed event, so the Dragon Duelists will use Decks right out of the box without making any other alterations.  (The Decks used in this event are Speed Duel Starter Deck: Destiny Masters and Speed Duel Starter Deck: Duelists of Tomorrow.) Speed Duels are played a little differently than the usual Yu-Gi-Oh!: You only have 3 Monster Zones and 3 Spell & Trap Zones to work with, your LP starts at 4000, your starting hand is 4 cards and there is no Main Phase 2. With a very limited card pool, you’ll see strategies and tactics you won’t normally see in Constructed play.  We’re in Round 3, the final round of this tournament at Table 3, with Coleman Hall Patten from Atlanta Georgia taking on Trevon Centell White. It’s time to Speed Duel! Read more…
