Part 2/15:
Jeff Leonard’s introduction to the Yu-Gi-Oh scene began as many do—an earnest effort to connect with his son, sharing the hobby and the thrill of dueling. Unlike competitive players fixated on dominating tournaments, Jeff gravitated toward a more relaxed, “stun” style of gameplay, focusing on shutting down opponent strategies rather than aggressive combo-heavy decks. His calm demeanor, cheerful smile, and old-school approach quickly made him a beloved figure within the community. Videos featuring him often garnered over 100,000 views, encapsulating his wholesome persona—an amiable “dad” figure whom everyone rooted for and appreciated.
