This Round 3 Feature Match is showcasing a veteran of the Konami Judge Program! We have Nathan Lawder, from right here in Indianapolis, and he’s swapped out his black-and-white shirt for an Adventure Horus Deck. He’s facing Adam Najarbashi, a Toronto Duelist using Branded! Will Lawder’s judging knowledge carry him to victory, or will Najarbashi’s fearsome Fusions foil his plans?

It was at the last YCS Indianapolis that Florida Duelist Jeff Leonard made history. In his live streamed Feature Match, the crowd chanted, “ONE MORE PIECE! ONE MORE PIECE!” as Leonard assembled Exodia the Forbidden One to the delight of all! Now that we’ve returned to Indianapolis, we simply had to cover Leonard. His Exodia strategy used the now Forbidden Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights, so he’s swapped to Tenpai Dragons – Deck just as capable of a one-turn KO!

His opponent is Zach Yocum, here from New Jersey. Like Leonard, Yocum is using new cards from Legacy of Destruction, with a mix of Lightsworn, Horus, and Centur-Ion! This strategy opens up many of Synchro and Xyz plays, with a lot of different ways to get value from the Graveyard.
