Duel Zone #1

Hello everyone,

Sunday 17th of April, in Paris, OTK Expert (a french magazine) and Strataegyc (a french association) organized a tournament where 120 players tried to win 3 booster boxes of Cosmos Blazer, (and if you could reach the top 8, you already won 1 display.)

After 7 rounds and a top 16,  the two finalist decided to split the prices, making them go home with 2,5 booster boxes of Cosmo Blazer each.

The Top 16 contained :
- 5 Mermail
- 5 Fire Fist
- 2 HERO
- 1 Six Samurai
- 1 Karakuri
- 1 Chaos Dragon
- 1 Wind-Up

And here are the decklists :
(I will update as soon as I gather the other decklists)

Hi everyone.

Since the coverage site of the USA won't post the decklist of YCS Indianapolis, (I still don't know why they keep on not posting the decklists), I'm gonna put here the ones I found:

French National

Hello everyone,
This past weekend the french national took place in the same place the YCS Paris did, and last year national championship did too.
The French Champion of 2012 is Sebastien Ma, and he won with his Wind-Up deck, defeating Tudor Mitchel and his Inzektor in the final match.
504 Players were in Paris to battle for the title of Champion of France 2012, and all of them struggled with the new rule which came out a few days before the tournament.

A quick review of the extra 20 cards of Photon Shockwave that we know so far

PHSW-EN081 Photon Sabre Tiger

Pretty cool dude. He is light (for Chaos Sorcerer, Black Luster and Honest) he is a Beast (Horn, Hamster) he can search for other ones like him. He can fit in a T.G. Skill Drain because there is Horn and Skill Drain (negating it's searching effect and his ATK decrease effect). So a card we will need in 3 copies.
