If you’ve attended a YCS weekend yourself, you may have noticed a QR code posted around the venue. If you scan it, you’ll be taken to a survey where you can provide feedback to KONAMI, which helps them create bigger, better tournament events! And while helping the game grow is one thing, taking the survey also nets you an extra benefit: you’re automatically entered into a giveaway where the winner earns a Rescue Rabbit plush!

ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD is a fan favorite side event, and now it’s speeding up! Winning Giant Card versions of iconic powerhouses to hang in your dorm room, rec room, or office sounds awesome, and whether you’re an Obelisk Blue, Ra Yellow, or just a Slifer slacker, the competition is open to all. This weekend, Duelists can win either of these GIANT Cards, all found in the Speed Duel GX: Duel Academy Box.

One of the weekend’s two Advanced Format ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! tournaments is now finished, awarding two Duelists with oversized versions of Guiding Quem, The Virtuous, and one Duelist with a Giant-sized copy of Albion the Sanctifire Dragon, two of the biggest cards released in Cyberstorm Access!

The first of the Speed Duel ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! tournaments has drawn to a close here in Philadelphia, with two Duelists taking home oversized versions of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and one Duelist winning a GIANT-Sized version of Volcanic Doomfire.

ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! is a fan favorite public event, with good reason! Who doesn’t want an exclusive, Giant-sized version of an iconic card that you can show off to your friends whenever they come over to Duel? It’s awesome. This weekend, Duelists who take 1st Place in the Saturday or Sunday ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! tournaments can win one of these two Giant Cards, featuring key monsters for the Branded theme newly released in Cyberstorm Access.

There are literally hundreds of prizes on offer in return for Prize Tickets, here at the 250th YCS in Los Angeles, but one category of prize always tops the collected competitors’ most-wanted lists: uncut sheets of Starlight Rares.

We already showed you the exclusive 250th YCS Win-A-Mat prize mat featuring Black Luster Soldier – Legendary Swordsman and Firewall Dragon Darkfluid – Neo Tempest Terahertz, but that’s not the only place you’ll find these monsters this weekend! Honoring this weekend’s guest voice actors, Dan Green and Jake Paque, those same cards were awarded as Giant Cards and jumbo-sized promos in the Saturday ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! tournament!

We showed you the stunning Participation Prize game mat in the coverage earlier today, but that’s far from the only game mat up for grabs this weekend. Like all YCS tournaments, the top finishers in the elimination rounds will earn a second game mat as part of their prize, exclusive to the Top Cut!

This weekend’s competition is special for lots of reasons: with a trio of massive tournaments running all at once on three different continents, there’s never been anything like the 250^th YCS. With over 3000 competitors here in Los Angeles alone, the competition is unprecedented! There’s some incredible prizes on the line, some stunning special guests, and everybody here knows they’re writing not just their own story, but a unique chapter in the history of our game.

…But on top of all that? Everybody’s also scoring awesome swag, just for showing up! Here are the participation prizes all the attendees are taking home this weekend.

Yesterday Jordan Palmer took 1st Place in the Saturday ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! tournament, earning a GIANT version of Speed Duel Rainbow Dragon! Today he was back to finish sweeping the Speed Duel GIANT CARD!! tournaments, claiming a Giant-sized Cyber End Dragon as well!
