Bruun Summoned Rescue Rabbit and banished it to get 2 copies of Sabersaurus, which let him Summon Evolzar Laggia. “16…. 16” Bruun was calculating if he had game. Bruun played Dark Hole, then followed with Fiendish Chain on Maestroke the Symphony Djinn. Sluis Chained Mystical Space Typhoon on Fiendish Chain and Bruun Chained Laggia’s effect and then Forbidden Lance on his Evolzar Laggia! When the Chain finally resolved Sluis had no way to stop the attack and conceded Duel 1.
Bruun leads after a huge Duel-ending Chain!
Sluis in the Top 4 yet again.
