Cedric Sequerra set out this past week to accomplish one thing: to make a name for his new two-man team, FaceToFace. Both he and teammate James Neumann made it to Day 2, and both catapulted their team to fame this weekend, but in the end it was Sequerra who brought home the greatest glory, and Light and Darkness Dragon reigns supreme once again.
First, Sequerra took on local favorite Glenn Lightfoot, the leader of Team Villains. Unfazed by Lightfoot’s substantial bluffing skills, Sequerra chalked up another victory for Light and Darkness Dragon over Perfect Circle. Then he had to face Alonzo Peters, a duelist he was defeated by in the Swiss rounds yesterday. Once again, Sequerra triumphed under pressure.
From there he dueled Matt Tuxford and his stunningly effective Gadget deck, winning out of what was arguably a very bad matchup. Finally, he dueled Hector Heras in a 2-0 victory that ended with an absolutely crushing, totally overwhelming victory.
A lot has happened this weekend. Light and Darkness Dragon has proven itself as the deck to beat yet again. Volcanic Monarchs made Day 2 once more, establishing itself as a serious contender. Duelists from as far as Puerto Rico, Canada, and the UK comprised a fourth of the Top 16 field, continuing the trend of Shonen Jump Championships becoming international-level events. And of course, Gadgets made a stunning return to competition with four Day 2 qualifications!
But for now, the biggest news is our latest Shonen Jump Champion. Congratulations go out to Cedric Sequerra of Montreal’s FaceToFace Games, your new Shonen Jump Champ!
‘Tis a joyful season; no, not the Holiday season, but the Magic: the Gathering Extended season. The Extended season has always been my favorite season of the Magic: the Gathering tournament scene. The current card pool (From Invasion to Morningtide, and 7th edition and up) appeals to me the most, thanks to the countless variety of decks that it can create. Out of the available decks, I particularly enjoy Doran.dec (a.k.a. The Runaway Brocoli. Just picture a brocoli spear running away from Stewie Griffin, then look at Doran, and you’ll see what I mean). It took me to the top 4 of Grand Prix Trial Vancouver in January, and is one of the most powerful decks in the format, and I’m writing this to convince you of that.
