A History of Competitive Play: Sept 04 – April 05 Hey everyone, I’m back this week and I’m going to be starting a new series on the history of the game. Once a month I will write an article summarizing an entire format. I think the history of the game is not only enjoyable, but valuable to the trends of today as well. If we can understand why certain things happened in the past, we can apply...

The Reign of Fire

What’s up duelists? YCS Philly takes place this weekend and it’s the first major event that you’ll get to see the new cards from Galactic Overlord being put into play. I must say that dragons of all types have gotten a HUGE boost from the latest set. There are so many more extra decks tricks that I think could really send the deck over the edge. It already happens to be the only deck that beats...

Hello Yugioh Community! Another Weekend another YCS! Lately it seems as if there is a major event every other weekend! Luckily, YCS Philadelphia will be the last event before the World Championship Qualifier in Columbus, Ohio at the end of June.

I will be attending this...

Welcome back, duelists, to The Judge Chamber! It’s me, your favorite ARG Reporter from the YCS events, Cordero Vexacus Spencer. You were probably thinking that I was going to write a judge article, but this time we won’t be talking about judge calls, judge etiquette or even tips for future judges.

Simplification: Why Dino Rabbit Still Wins

What’s up boys and girls, its T-Time! I did not play at YCS Chicago, rather I vended at the Alter Reality booth. Thank you to anyone who came up and said hello or chose to do business with us, we appreciate the loyalty. Though I did not play, I tested and prepared as if I was going to. I took time to figure out the deck I would have played, and the deck I liked the best was Chaos Dragons (my...

YCS Philly is next week which means that it is the first YCS where Galactic Overlord will be legal. Hieratics have...
