YCS Portland: And the Winners are…

The first YCS of the season, YCS Portland, has come to a close. It was an amazing weekend with some amazing Dueling. Officials and duelist’s saw that the format is now quite balanced overall, with a wide representation of Decks in the Top 32. Sky Strikers, Salamangreats, Thunder Dragons, Crusadia, Altergeists, Endymion Pendulums, and a lot of different Orcust variants were all played this weekend – and those are just the most popular ones. There were breakout performances from Nekroz, Subterrors, Crusadia Thunder hybrids, and the one everyone’s talking about, a Golden Castle of Stromberg Deck using Gren Maju Da Eiza.

Now that Duelists have had more time with Rising Rampage, we’re seeing them really get comfortable with the cards. In particular, Get Out!, White Howling, and Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess saw use this weekend.

Now on to the various winners of YCS Portland!
