We are in the last Round of Swiss for Day 1 here at YCS Niagara Falls. In the Top Tables right now, we still see mostly Snake-Eye variants. Most of them are running Azamina cards and some of them are playing Fire Kings.
Centur-Ion Bystial and Tenpai are still in the running, along with the Snake-Eye Rescue-ACE Deck. Two Plant Link Decks have made it into the Top Tables and are in the running for Day 2 here! Read more…
We’re heading into Round 4 with another Feature Match! Sebastian Cosentino is a local Duelist from the Sacramento area, and this weekend he’s piloting a Runick Deck! Cosentino’s on a Runick Stun build with Spright cards in the mix. He’s facing Luis Oropeza from Los Angeles, playing Traptrix!
Round 7 is underway, and this Feature Match showcases our highest ranked Melodious Duelist thus far, Iowa Duelist Alexander Smith. He’s facing Daniel Ramirez Medina, from Seattle, WA, using a pure Runick Deck. This is a matchup of two Decks using Fusion Monsters, but they couldn’t be more different in execution.
Read more…Welcome to Day 2 of YCS Raleigh! We’re starting the day with Douglas Haddad, from New Jersey, playing Runick Plunder Patroll! Haddad is known for being a Plunder Patroll aficionado, sporting a pirate hat at every YCS. His opponent is William Wei, from Indiana, playing Branded Voiceless Voice. Will his mix of Rituals and Fusions carry him to victory, or will the Plunder Patroll sink that ship?
Read more…We’re in Round 3 with another heater of a Feature Match! We’re here with Isaiah Raphael, from Miami, FL, playing Centur-Ion! His Deck is teched out to beat the metagame, using Bystials and Super Polymerization to get an edge. His opponent is Cameron Carvella, from Knoxville, TN, with Bystial Runick! This Deck uses Runick spells to control the game and draw a lot of cards, with the Bystials and Runick monsters to fuel Synchro Summons to take over the Duel.
Read more…This is it, the final Swiss round of the tournament! After this we’ll be cutting to just the final Top 32 Duelists. This Feature Match pits two YCS first-timers against each other! Max Lehmann from Sioux Falls South Dakota is playing Scareclaw, and he’s facing Andrew Willett, from Scarbro West Virginia, playing Runick Stun!
Scareclaws make some powerful plays, and they’re good at fighting a war of attrition thanks to their Field Spell and multiple options for removal. On the other side, Runick Decks like Willett’s seek to lock down the field with tons of floodgates, negations, and well-timed destructions, while keeping their hand full thanks to their own Field Spell. Both Duelists are on the bubble, looking for a win to make that coveted Top Cut spot.
For our Top 16 Feature Match, we have the only remaining Match with no Kashtira at the table. Kamal Crooks, from Ft. Lauderdale, FL, is playing the adorable (and deadly) Purrely! He’s up against George Sacco, from Oklahoma City, OK, playing Fur Hire Runick Spright! Let’s get to it: it’s time to Duel!
Read more…For this Top 16 Feature Match, we have two Duelists from across the globe! We have Steven Santoli back again for another Feature Match. Hailing from Hamilton, ON, he’s the only Exosister Duelist to have made Top 32. His opponent is Jamie Hunter, from Sheffield, England, playing a Runick Spright Fur Hire Deck. This variant has become quite popular lately, so let’s see what the hype is about!

While they won’t be able to claim the title, one of them can still walk away with the Super Rare Anotherverse Dragon Prize Card! It’s Shunping Xu’s Runick Kashtira against Jacob Banuelos’s Floowandereeze. It’s time to Duel!
Over 3200 Duelists have been reduced to just the Top 8. This is the only remaining non-Kashtira matchup in the Top 8. Jesse Flores, from Dallas, TX, is representing Runick Naturia. He’s up against Hisam Jawhari, from Louisiana, playing Tri-Brigade Sprights. It’s been a long road for these Duelists, but only one can move on from here!
