Round 1 Feature Match: Jeff Leonard vs. Zach Yocum

June 1st, 2024

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.
