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!

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!

These Duelists put forth an amazing showing here at the 250^th YCS in Los Angeles. 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!
