YCS Chantilly, VA

Well, this certainly came up quick. It seems like only yesterday that the Yu-gi-oh! Championship Series was announced, and we'll be witnessing the launch tomorrow!

This will be the first major US event in which The Shining Darkness is legal, just days after the set's release. Because of this, we can expect to see a lot of new decks on the tournament floor, but the variants likely won't be perfect, and the showing of said decks might not be at its peak due to only the most dedicated of players having all the cards together this early.

Even so, X-Sabers, Frogs, and Infernities, especially, are huge threats for which to account. Plenty of rogue OTKs got a boost from the new set in the form of "Into the Void," so it wouldn't surprise me to see a fair share of those. Rock Stun, revitalized with "Koa'ki Meiru Sandman," might see play. Blackwings and Quickdraw will still be around as per usual.

There isn't much I can predict beyond that. I'm looking forward to seeing what the new prize cards are, though.
