Took them 20 years, but the U.S. finally won a World Championship. Congrats to Paulie!
What happened to Kouki Kosaka? Did not participated?
he was playing MD worlds
Winning 2019 worlds meant his invite was only valid for 2020 worlds
Does anybody have a link to Dinh-Kha Bui’s Superheavy Samurai Bystial Runick deck?
Does anyone know the purpose of the branded package in Tri-Spright?
I think its just to +1. Draw with albion send the trap. Search merc with the the omen or send to gy otherwise. Then banish it for tri monster cost. Search with its eff. Grab it back with branded sword. Or something like that.
Will there be article covering the master duel worlds?
