Over in the Public Event Playoffs, two Chicago Duelists were competing for a copy of Blood Mefist! Jason Okubo is playing a Samurai Deck with the new Shadow of the Six Samurai – Shien, while Mitchell Celicious is running a Shooting Quasar Dragon Deck that’s made big waves in the Public Events up until this point! Celicious played Shooting Quasar Dragon three times in the Semi-Finals Match that preceded this one, unleashing it with what appears to be his catchphrase – “Are you ready?” – every time.
Hey, when you Summon Shooting Quasar Dragon on a regular basis, you can have a catchphrase too. Read more…
Both of our Duelists have two losses, and must win to have a chance to make the top 32. Marc has been featured in YCS events before, but he says he always loses at the last moment to keep him from finishing in the top 32. He has, however, won every feature match he’s had. Can he keep his perfect record using Dino Rabbit? Matthew is playing Six Samurai today, and is participating in his first YCS tournament! Both competitors are hailing from New Jersey, and they were ready to start right away. Read more…

The Six Samurai won the most recent YCS, even though many members of the Dueling world were counting them out at the start of the tournament. Now, Junior Dorcin is hoping for a repeat this weekend. He’s currently 6-1 in the tournament with his Six Samurai Deck, and he’ll be facing off against Deaton Cooke, a YCS first-timer, and his T.G. Deck! A win for one of these Duelists will guarantee that Duelist a spot in Day 2.

If you read our Round 5 Feature Match coverage, you’ve already seen Lane Woodall’s deadly Six Samurai Deck in action! Once upon a time (oh, say six or seven weeks ago?) Six Samurai were all about one thing: unleashing Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En for a back-breaking first turn, scoring free cards along the way with Six Samurai United and Gateway of the Six. The Deck specialized in unleashing Shi En on turn 1 a whopping more than half of the time, thanks to powerful search cards and the deck-thinning Upstart Goblin.

Frazier Smith is a YCS winner who beat out the competition at YCS Atlanta by using Gravekeeper’s. This allowed him to claim his first championship title. Since then, he has made it to the Top 16 at YCS Rhode Island with X-Sabers, and made it to the Top 16 at YCS Charlotte with Dragunities. But Josh Snyder is no stranger to the top tables either. He made the Top 32 of YCS Dallas with his Six Samurai Deck, and now he’s back for the WCQ, using his Six Samurai Deck against Smith’s Agents.
