Jerome breaks down the defense-oriented Yang Zing strategy that saw play during the last Regional and National season.

Aaerion Murphy was plowing through the competition with his Yang Zing Deck, but it wasn’t quite the Yang Zing strategy our play-by-play team was expecting!

The Zefra are a super-team of new monsters that unite Shaddolls, Ritual Beasts, Nekroz, ‘tellarknights, and the Yang Zing through the one thing they’ve all never had – Pendulum Summons.
