Episode 74 - Ignition Assault

## Ignition Assault

Ignition Assault is the seventy-fourth episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Progression Playoff, and the eleventh episode of Season 6, the VRAINS arc. It debuted on MBT Yu-Gi-Oh's YouTube channel on August 26, 2022. This episode was sponsored by Outplayed. After a brief hiatus, MBT returns to 2-0ing with another week of Rituals despite "cheating" against Danny\*, while Danny gets Abominable Unchained Soul'd twice and gets the double ban.

\*He just forgot that Revendread Origin only protects Revendread Slayer, and Vendread Battlelord doesn't count itself as Slayer on field. If you're actually upset in the comments about this, dear Lord please log off and go outside.

## Background

Ignition Assault was released in the TCG on January 30, 2020. This set introduced the "@Ignister", "Ancient Warriors", "Megalith", and "Plunder Patroll" archetypes, as well as new support for the "Sky Striker", "Marincess", "Karakuri", and "Time Thief" archetypes. Other notable cards include Utgarda, Generaider Boss of Delusion, Cross-Sheep, Aussa the Earth Charmer, Immovable, Gravity Controller, Lightning Storm, and Linguriboh.

MBT still has a comfortable lead, despite having his undefeated run come to an end last week. Gavin has gained a small amount of ground after his 2-0 last week and looks to continue to bridge the gap. Danny, Brent and Leah hope to finish VRAINS on a strong note.
