Alejandro Cuevas is from Chile, and usually plays at Rivendel, one of our Official Tournament Stores. He was playing a Nordic Deck this weekend. He likes playing in these Win-A-Mat and thinks that this new mat is the best mat ever made!
Christian Munoz is from Guayaquil, and was playing a T.G. Deck today. He likes this mat too because it’s got all 3 of the Yu-Gi-Oh! characters on it!

Public Events Winners!

September 18th, 2011

Our first winner in the ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! is David Molina all the way from Miami, USA.  There were two Giant Cards up for grabs this weekend – Tour Guide of the Underworld and Number 17: Leviathan Dragon.  David will be flying back with Tour Guide this weekend.  He was running an Agent Deck with Tour Guide, and it was his three copies of Tour Guide in his Deck that allowed him to reach the Top 16 this weekend in the Main Event, which is why he chose this Giant Card to take home.  We hope you get home OK with the Giant Card…

Meanwhile, Javier Amores walked away with Number 17: Leviathan Dragon. He was using a Tengu Plant Deck. He’s looking forward to seeing the full potential of the new Xyz Monster mechanics, and he likes the artwork of this Leviathan. He traveled from the capital city of Ecuador, Quito. He enjoyed this weekend – particularly the fact that he could meet Duelists from different countries.
