HISTORY:
2014 - It was a shooter's paradise as Simeon/Han Solo finished third and Alex won it all with Boba freakin' Fett.
2015 - Darth Vader won his record fifth championship, all under the tutelage of Nathan, who secured his first ever win in a masterful performance.
MEET THE DUELERS:
Since November is a month to reflect and give thanks, let's introduce this Duel's battlers with what they're thankful for!
Brannon - It just so happens to be Brannon's birthday weekend, so he's thankful for playing in his third Epic Duel as he successfully circles the sun once again.
Daniel - After Daniel finished a career best second place at Fight Night with Boba Fett, he's finally thankful for all the bounty hunters he's played with over the years.
Donald - "Ducky" had moderate success at the Doubleheader but then landed a shocking last place finish at the Fall Brawl before taking the October Duel off. Donald is thankful for a new chance to redeem himself.
Grant - He's been dormant since the Doubleheader, but his two victories in 2016 are nothing to sneeze at. Grant is thankful for his steady rise to second place on the career win list.
JD - JD is second on the career Duels played list, logging an impressive 24 matches in his career. He's also finished in third place in three out of his last four Duels. JD is thankful for his consistent play.
Jonathan - He's played in four career Duels, but Jonathan has yet to crack the top six in a Duel. His card knowledge is superior, but he's still navigating the social element. Jonathan is thankful for Duel #5 - he's only one away from professional status!
Liz - You can't fault Liz's optimism, after just two career Duels she already has a fifth place finish with Yoda at the Fight Night battle. Liz is thankful for the upward trajectory of her Dueling career.
Nathan - We haven't seen Nathan play since his disastrous, double-Boba Fett draw at the Doubleheader. But after taking a two Duel break, Nathan is thankful to get back in the saddle again.
Rob - His four second place finishes in 2016 aren't too shabby, but he craves a victory, something he hasn't experienced in over a year. Rob is thankful for everyone playing this silly game with him!
Sakina - After a nine month layoff, Sakina was back in action at Fight Night but got caught with a rough character/board draw and finished a disappointing 11th with Darth Maul. Sakina is thankful for a new month and a new chance.
Stephen - There is no hotter Dueler on the planet right now than Stephen! He finished in the top five of his last four Duels, including wins at the Doubleheader and Fight Night. Stephen is thankful for being IN THE ZONE!
Stevie - Life is good for Stevie, the recently engaged Dueler has also been logging some nice finishes of late. The only thing he's missing is that first trophy. He's thankful for consistent improvements.
MAGNETIC LEGO ADMIRAL ACKBAR PREDICTS THE WINNER:
