I really hope this guy Playing Volcanics can go all the way! ^^

I personally wants George to win. I like Shaddolls lel

We'll see what happens day 2! ^^

Also I have to ask, what do you like about them Anzo-sama? I'm curious c:

Among all the other top-tier deck they're the only deck that punishes the player hard if you do a single misplay, while the other meta decks doesn't punish as hard; it's a skill-level difference.

I see, well it does take more decision making ability to run effectively than Burning Abyss or Qlis. That's for sure.

Alright! Day 2 Is underway! ^^

Let's have another session of Quick questions Before we get into the day's play.

volcanics just 2 good

Nuke > Burn > Poke > Recycle > Repeat

Works surprisingly well. Good to see another one of my favorites from OCG do well. Might have to make a TCG version now.

Now we have our top cut features!

Top 32:

Top 16 (Note from here onwards participants are using a Battle Pack 3 Draft deck, North American YCS events are weird like that)

Top 8

We'll have details for the decisive matches soon! ^^

How come only 1 Shaddoll player in top 32? lol

Because Burning Abyss is by far the most played deck North America.. The sheer numbers of BA players overwhelmed most of the field D:

No write ups on the decisive matches sadly. D:

Still, congratulations to Jonathon Castillo Gomez for going through the field of 799 Duelists at YCS Charleston to become the newest YCS Winner.

Not really sure how that happened either.

It'd be nice if we got the full spread of Decks used in the event but alas, no such niceties this time.

Why are you people so surprised?
Shaddolls aren't the best deck, and they aren't even the 2nd best deck... And soon they won't be the 3rd either. Actually who knows - maybe not even number 4 or 5.


RIP Shaddolls.

It is a bit surprising, It's not like they were hit super hard to go down the food chain this way..

Strangely enough Shaddolls are topping more in OCG than TCG, despite huge hits to them on the OCG banlist.
