James Frazier is here piloting a unique version of the HAT deck that took YCS Philly by storm! But if there is anything that can answer the constant advantage and +1 power of the HAT deck it is devilishly consistent Evilswarm deck! Can Wesley pull out the win?
Game 1:
James begins the duel by drawing to 6 total cards before activating Pot of Duality, revealing another Duality, Majesty’s Fiend and Dimensional Prison. He grabbed the other Duality before setting Fire Hand and 2 backrow to end his turn.
Wesley drew for his turn before setting 3 and passing his turn as well.
James flipped his Fire Hand into attack position and swung for 1600 damage. He then activated a fresh Pot of Duality and snagged Compulsory Evacuation Device off of the reveal, passing up Majesty’s Fiend and Artifact Moraltach. He set a monster and a trap before passing.
James 8000, Wesley 6400
Wesley set one and passed.
James drew before flipping Ice Hand up. Wesley responded with Torrential Tribute and Ice Hand blew away Wesley’s set Solemn Warning before summoning another Fire Hand. Fire Hand attacked for 1600 before James set 1 to end his turn.

Wesley summoned Evilswarm Castor, followed quickly by Evilswarm Heliotrope. James activated Artifact Sanctum but was stopped short by Wesley’s Wiretap. James used Compulsory Evacuation Device after the resolution of Wiretap before Wesley attacked Fire Hand with Castor for 150 damage. Fire Hand blew away Castor and snagged another Ice Hand from the deck before Wesley set 1 more and passed his turn.

James activated Call of the Haunted, bringing back Ice Hand and tribute summoning Majesty’s Fiend. James went for game and shut down Wesley’s Fiendish Chain with a set Wiretap to seal the deal.

Game 1 was taken by a storm of helping Hands and an incredible amount of traps. Can Wesley overcome the wall of offensive defense that James’s deck can make?
Game 2
Wesley started off with summoning Rescue Rabbit, but James's Effect Veiler stopped the potential onslaught of monsters altogether. Wesley set 2 s/t cards and passed.
James summoned Ice Hand and attacked Rescue Rabbit for 1100 damage before setting 3 cards and ending his turn.

James summoned his final Ice Hand before attacking into Kerykeion and taking 200 damage. Ice Hand destroyed a set Mystical Space Typhoon before bringing out a Fire Hand. The second Ice Hand attacked Kerykeion again, losing another 200 life points. The Hand of retribution eliminated Wesley’s Bottomless Trap Hole and brought out the final Fire Hand. James then overlaid the 2 Hands for Blackship of Corn and sent Kerykeion to the grave for 1000 damage.
