We’re halfway into the first day of the North American World Championship Qualifier. We’ve got two undefeated Duelists for our Round 5 Feature Match – Blake Dauterive from Lafayette, LA, and Michael White from Minneapolis, MN. Dauterive is playing a HERO Deck using new cards like Elemental HERO Flame Wingman – Infernal Rage. White is playing Rikka, the Plant Deck that is anything but sedentary.

We’re getting close to the Top Cut, and California Duelist Andrew Edwards is standing out as the best performing Rikka Sunavalon player. He’s facing off against Connecticut Duelist Paul Aronson, who won the North America Remote Duel YCS in February 2022. Aronson’s playing Kashtira this weekend. These Duelists need one more win in Swiss to secure their Top Cut spot. Edwards will certainly be ready for Kashtira, but will Aronson be prepared for plants?
