Michael Boyd

Mike, a 29-year-old married resident of North Carolina, is the visionary behind The Edison Club, a YouTube channel he launched in 2021. Originally conceived as a personal archive to document his cherished memories and milestones in the Yu-Gi-Oh! community, the channel quickly evolved into a well-regarded source of competitive insights. As the content matured and the audience expanded, The Edison Club became a go-to platform for players seeking the latest updates on the metagame and deck lists. The channel’s success is fueled by a dedicated team of 11 members, with plans for continued growth.

When Mike isn’t working, creating content, or spending time with his family, you’ll likely find him competing at Yu-Gi-Oh! events, playing his all-time favorite deck, Lightsworn. His passion for the game drives him to contribute informative articles, offering fresh perspectives for competitive players while fostering the growth of the community.

Mike’s competitive prowess is reflected in his impressive achievements. In November 2023, he secured 4th place at YCS Richmond, marking him as the highest-placing Lightsworn player in an Ultimate Time Wizard event to date. Just a month later, he replicated his success, finishing in the top 4 at the highly competitive Big Boy Gaming $5,000 Event in December, where top-tier players gathered to test their skills. While proud of these accomplishments, Mike remains driven, with his sights firmly set on claiming victory in an Ultimate Time Wizard event in the near future. He’s determined to do whatever it takes to reach that goal.
