The Yamato Leader card (OP16-079), specifically the Alternate Art (AA) version from the The Time of Battle expansion of the ONE PIECE! Card Game, is a premium raw collectible featuring unique full-art illustration by Nakauma distinct from the standard Leader release. Released in Japan on May 30, 2026, and in English on June 12, 2026, this Black Leader card depicts the Land of Wano warrior with a dynamic foil finish, often commanding a significant premium on the secondary market due to its visual appeal and status as a centerpiece for one of the set's most competitive archetypes.

Mechanically, this card possesses 5 Life and 5000 Power, with the Land of Wano subtype and the Strike attribute. Its defining effect states: "When a {Land of Wano} type Character card is played from your trash, that Character gains [Rush] during this turn." This ability transforms the graveyard into a potent offensive resource, allowing players to recycle Wano-themed characters from the trash while immediately granting them the ability to attack on the turn they are played. The card synergizes heavily with the set's Impel Down and Marineford themes, enabling aggressive tempo swings by turning discarded characters into immediate threats rather than waiting for the following turn.

The Alternate Art version of Yamato is particularly prized by collectors completing the The Time of Battle set, as it represents the chase Leader variant for the Black color identity alongside other premium Leaders like Marshall D. Teach and Portgas D. Ace. Unlike the standard version, which trades for under $1, the AA variant features enhanced color saturation and a distinct foil pattern that highlights the artwork's details, making it a staple for both competitive play and high-end collector portfolios. Its ability to fuel aggressive Wano-based strategies while maintaining board presence ensures consistent demand for raw copies in tournament-ready condition, particularly in meta decks that rely on the "revive and rush" engine introduced in OP-16.
