Farfa's (@FarfaYGO) second Genesys Open tournament was a huge success, having 167 duelists and excellent prize support. It was a Best of 1 event, with 8 rounds of Swiss and a cut to Top 8. Most importantly, it used the October 27, 2025 Points list.
Against all odds and point restrictions, Dracotail managed to come out on top, winning the entire tournament. Sparky made use of an old classic to supplement the deck: Aleister the Invoker!
Generaider seems to be doing pretty well for itself despite the small point hits, preventing duelists from playing its full engine alongside True King of All Calamities. Not to worry, as the archetype packs a punch without the game-warping lockdown effect of TKOAC.
Radiant Typhoon remained one of the most popular choices at the event, both as a deck and as a powerful engine for most strategies due to its lack of points.
Super Quant is flying under the radar at the moment as another strong contender, capable of making the absolute unit that is Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus.
SQ, Onomat, and other Xyz strategies are enjoying the Flying "C" tax as of late. It may still be a good idea to dedicate some of your points to that card to combat these strategies.
Nibiru the Primal Being, and Droll & Lock Bird were also seeing heavy main and side deck play ever since they got adjusted to 5 points. Genesys duelists will certainly have to keep these high-impact Hand Traps in mind.
We'll be keeping a close eye on YCS Pittsburgh's Genesys Invitationals!
