The Yamato OP16-097 card from the The Time of Battle expansion is a strategic Rare released in English on June 12, 2026. Depicted as an 8-cost, 8000-power Black Character with the "Land of Wano" type, it features dynamic artwork by Yuu Shimotsuki capturing the "Oni Princess" in her hybrid form. This card serves as a vital recursion engine for Black Wano decks, highly sought after by competitive players for its ability to recover key mid-cost threats from the trash while simultaneously flooding the board with low-cost units.

In gameplay, Yamato offers exceptional resource consistency through its [On Play] effect: upon entering the field, the player adds up to one {Land of Wano} type Character card with a cost of 6 or less from their trash to their hand, then immediately plays up to one Character card with a cost of 2 or less from their hand. This dual action allows players to recycle crucial pieces like Kin'emon or Momonosuke while establishing immediate board presence with cheap blockers or attackers. With the Strike attribute, +1000 Counter value, and synergy with the Yamato Leader (OP16-079) which grants Rush to Wano characters played from the trash, it serves as a versatile tempo piece that bridges the gap between high-cost powerhouses and low-cost setup.

The standard holographic finish is durable but prone to edge whitening, making high-quality raw finds desirable for players aiming to maximize their deck's consistency without the premium cost of higher rarity slots.
