QQ stands for Quick Questions! Here at YCS Vancouver, one of the most popular Public Events is the Time Wizard April 2010 Advanced Format tournament. This Format was used at the 75th YCS in Edison, New Jersey, and it’s become a very popular Time Wizard Public Event that tons of players have chosen to participate in this weekend.

With the original events having taken place over a decade ago, there are many iconic cards that don’t see play in 2023, but used to wreak havoc back in April 2010! This weekend, we asked some Duelists participating in the Time Wizard Public Events about their favourite cards to use in that particular format. It’s always interesting to hear from Duelists today, looking back on older formats. Here’s what they had to say…

Duelists yearning to relive simpler times can compete in this weekend’s Time Wizard Tournaments in the Remote Duel Extravaganza! These tournaments use the card pool and Forbidden & Limited List that was in effect at a specific point in the past. The winner of each Time Wizard Public Event receives an awesome Game Mat featuring Light and Darkness Dragon!

Here are the winners from this weekend’s Ultimate Time Wizard Tournament!

Nearly 300 Duelists entered the Ultimate Time Wizard Tournament, and now we’re down to just the Top 8! These Duelists have won a coveted Light and Darkness Dragon game mat, and now move on to the single-elimination portion of the event.

Check back later for our Feature Match of the Finals!

For the first time ever, there is an “Ultimate Time Wizard Tournament” being held in the Public Events area!

Anthony Pascariello from Norwalk, Connecticut won the first Time Wizard Public Event of the day for the March 2010 Advanced Format. This Advanced Format was the one used at the 75^th Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series in Edison, New Jersey and is a popular Time Wizard Format among Duelists. Lots of players are passionate about competing in events held under that Synchro-era Forbidden & Limited List, which is part of why the Time Wizard Public Events have been so popular this weekend.

Let’s go back to a simpler time, when Synchro Monsters reigned supreme, and Pendulum Monsters and Link Monsters didn’t exist. Or maybe you’d like to go even further back, to a time that Fusion Monsters were the only cards that went into Extra Decks, and Thousand-Eyes Restrict was the scariest of them all. That’s the magic of the Time Wizard Format. It’ll take you to any time period you want to be in. In the Time Wizard Public Events, a point in time is fixed for each event, and Duelists may only use cards that were available at that point in time. In addition, the rules of the game – including the Forbidden & Limited List – are set to imitate the exact rules that were followed at that point in time. This allows Duelists to compete in their favorite formats of the past over and over again, reliving the happiness those formats brought them so many years ago.

This weekend at YCS Minneapolis, Duelists can participate in a variety of different “Time Wizard Format” tournaments that take them back in time to a past era of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME. Check out the Game Mat Duelists can win by taking first place in one of these tournaments!
