The Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2007, also abbreviated as WCS 2007, was a Yu-Gi-Oh! Official (OCG) and Trading Card Game (TCG) tournament that was held at the Comic Con in San Diego from 28 - 29 July 2007, being the most prestigious and final event of the 2006-2007 season. It was held alongside the Yu-Gi-Oh! Video Game World Championship 2007.
The TCG/OCG tournament was mostly a competition between "Monarch" decks and different variations of "Machine" strategies. Fittingly, these two decks would face off in the finals, with Andres Toro emerging victorious over Mattia Sarpa. Adam Corn made third place using "Flip Burn", a less popular deck choice. Dexter Dalit was the final player in Top 4, also playing "Monarch".[1]
At the Video Game tournament, Michel Grüner became the new World Champion. Michel was already an accomplished TCG player at this point, and he would go on to arguably be the most prominent European Yu-Gi-Oh! player over the next five years or so.Not much is known about the tournament itself, not even the full list of competitors has been preserved. Both Michel and his opponent in the finals, Yohann Descamps, used "Perfect Circle" decks. Manuel Lopez took the bronze medal playing "Apprentice Monarch" and Masahiro Eguchi finished in fourth place.[2]
