Episode 82 - Battle of Chaos

## Battle of Chaos

Battle of Chaos is the eighty-second episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Progression Playoff, and the seventh episode of Season 7, the SEVENS arc. It debuts on MBT Yu-Gi-Oh's YouTube channel on January 7, 2023. This episode comes after a two-week holiday break. Danny once again cannot be stopped, as his Despia-adjacent pile of cards bring him another 2-0. The unlucky party to 0-2 is MBT, whose Normal Monster strategy is unable to win him a game.

## Background

Battle of Chaos was released in TCG on February 10, 2022. This set introduced the "Dinomorphia" and "Libromancer" archetypes, as well as new support for the "Dark Magician", "Blue-Eyes", "Icejade", "Nordic", "S-Force", "D/D", "Ghostrick", and "Dogmatika" archetypes. Other notable cards include Simorgh, Bird of Perfection, Illusion of Chaos, Guardian Chimera, and The Zombie Vampire.

Danny continues to dominate and now holds a 4-game lead over his nearest competitors. MBT and Leah look to make a run in the second half of the season, starting in this episode. Brent hopes to break through and make up some ground, while Gavin tries to rebound after a rough start to the season.
