Dragunities are still going the distance, as we’re seeing here in this Match at Table 4! Six years ago in 2005, Anthony Alvarado won a championship right here in Charlotte, North Carolina! Today he’s undefeated save for a single draw, paired up against the undefeated Samurai Duelist Sean Coovert. We haven’t seen this matchup yet today, so it should be an interesting Feature Match!

Miracle Geminis are emerging as 1 of the most successful Decks of the tournament here in Round 4, placing many Duelists at the top tables thus far. The combination of deft Synchro hate; big Level 4 monsters; and big Fusion Monsters is proving to be a successful combo, and has taken YCS winner Jerry Wang to his current spot at Table 6 in today’s main event.
His opponent this round is local fourteen year-old Dakota Vandawalker, from right here in North Carolina. Vandawalker is 1 of the top-ranked Samurai Duelists in the tournament, playing an explosive build that focuses on consistency more than bells and whistles. Vandawalker may be young, but he clearly knows this Deck inside out.
I had a lot of fun at the Yu-Gi-Oh! Extravaganza! I played in the Bounty Tournament, and I got to be the first person in the United States to play with the new Legendary Six Samurai cards at an event! The big draw of the new Six Samurai Deck is the Synchro Monster Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En. Shi En, along with the other new monsters from Storm of Ragnarok that let you Special Summon add speed and durability that older Six Samurai Decks lacked. With more ways to Summon and more ways to negate or get rid of your opponent’s cards, the new Legendary Six Samurai Deck can take on any Deck!
