We’re now in the Top 4! A win here will guarantee someone a copy of the YCS Prize Card Number 89: Diablosis the Mind Hacker. Ayinde Ross from Los Angeles, California ended Swiss in 10th place with an 8-2 record using a 60-card Dinosaur Plant Deck. His opponent is Alessio Giordani from Florence, Italy who ended Swiss with an 8-2 record in 19th place. He’s running a True Draco Deck. Who will make it to the Finals? It’s time to Duel!
Peter Xiang and Brendan Beckmann are competing to make it to the YCS Finals! A win here will guarantee one of them a copy of the YCS Prize Card Number 93: Utopia Kaiser! A loss will put the Duelist into a 3rd/4th place playoff to determine who gets the prize card. Both Duelists are running Zoodiac Kaiju Decks. Which one will advance? Let’s find out! It’s time to Duel!

And we’re down to 4! We’ve featured Dave Hayes from Liverpool, New York and his Majespecter before, but this is James Kim of Toronto Canada’s first feature today, and he’s running Xyz Monarchs. A win here will ensure the player a Minerva, The Exalted Lightsworn.
Kim won the roll and elected to have Hayes start.
Jose Uriel Diaz from Chicago, Illinois finished the Swiss Rounds with a 10-1 record using his Kozmo Deck, and is the last remaining Kozmo Duelist in the tournament. Now, he’s Dueling against Mexico’s Jose Lagunes and his Performapal Pendulum Deck in a Match that will determine which Duelist advances to the Finals. It’s time to Duel!
Out of all the 953 Duelists here at YCS San Jose, only four remain, and they’re all playing Kozmo Decks! We’ve featured both Sebastian Crawford and Ryan Murakami earlier in the tournament, with each of them putting on great showings. The winner here will move on to the finals, and is guaranteed a copy of the Prize Card Minerva, the Exalted Lightsworn.
Murakami is using Reasoning as a way to make use of his many varied Levels of monsters and put out a lot of damage all at once. Crawford has a very unique build, with Main Deck copies of The Monarchs Stormforth! That gives him a method of playing his spaceships while also getting rid of major threats. It’s also the main way he can play his secret ace card, Light and Darkness Dragon! The Dragon is a way of hampering his opponents, and it can also destroy his own Kozmotown to trigger its effect.
