Traviis Massengale has traveled this weekend from Topeka, Kansas, making it to the Top 16 yet again. His opponent this round is Jordan Faulkenberry, hailing from the self-described “backwoods of South Carolina.” Faulkenberry’s piloting an interesting T.G. Flamvell Deck that sailed under the radar of most competitors this weekend. We’ve never seen a Deck like Faulkenberry’s in a Feature Match before, so we’re hoping for an excellent show!

Jonathan Barber and Marquis Johnson are currently undefeated in the tournament, with perfect 5-0 records. Barber is running a Flamvell Lightsworn Deck that he’s been running for over a year. His opponent, Marquis Johnson is running a Gravekeeper’s Deck that uses Malefic Stardust Dragon and Malefic Cyber End Dragon to overwhelm opponents with high-attack monsters. Necrovalley may make this a tough Match for Barber, who won’t be able to use Rekindling while it’s on the field. (Rekindling Special Summons as many 200 DEF FIRE monsters from your Graveyard as possible. All the Flamvell monsters Barber uses fit the bill.)

Pongyue Moua piloted his Flamvell Deck to a Top 32 finish this weekend, using 5 different Flamvells in his Main Deck, including Flamvell Baby and Flamvell Grunika. Moua’s Deck can build up a huge Graveyard and then makes a game-winning play with Rekindling, or just use his big monsters like Flamvell Firedog to gradually chip away at his opponent’s Life Points and build up a field. The versatility of Moua’s Deck made it tough for a lot of his opponents to beat this weekend. Take a look at Moua’s Decklist!

It’s been many weeks since the tournament debut of Flamvell Baby, Flamvell Archer, and Flamvell Grunika in Hidden Arsenal 2 and Duelist Revolution, but until now we haven’t seen a Duelist take them into Championship-level competition. That streak has come to an end here this weekend though, as Pongyue Moua is playing all 3 of those cards in his Flamvell Deck. But his opponent this round is innovating as well! Daniel Joy is playing a Scrap Deck with Gigantes, The Tricky, and more surprises. Get ready for a tremendous Feature Match!

In the previous format, one Deck that didn’t get nearly as much love as it once had was Synchro Cat withFlamvell Firedog, Flamvell Magician, and Rekindling.. Using Flamvell Firedog, Flamvell Magician, Gravekeeper monsters, and Rescue Cat, this Flamvell Deck made very large waves at premier tournaments all over the world. Flamvell Firedog’s 1900 ATK, combined with the fantastic defense of Gravekeeper’s Spy and Super-Nimble Mega Hamster provide an excellent base to a strategy that Summons Level 8 Synchro Monsters at alarming speeds.
With the release of Duelist Revolution, a lot of great new cards became available for this Deck. With Solemn Warning, you’re able to protect your important monsters cards from things like Caius the Shadow Monarch and Black Rose Dragon. And thanks to Pot of Duality, you’re able to get exactly what you need when you need it, a very important factor in any Deck.
Now that Rescue Cat is no longer allowed in Advanced Format Decks due to the new Forbidden and Limited List as of September 1st, a new twist has to be put into motion in order to keep the Deck moving forward. James Neumann is one of the Duelists looking to make this twist happen.
