Episode 6 - Legacy of Darkness

## Legacy of Darkness

Legacy of Darkness is the sixth episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Progression Playoff. It debuted on MBT Yu-Gi-Oh's YouTube channel on Jan 2, 2021. MBT's EARTH beatdown deck tears through Danny and Leah quickly to get to finals, but Gavin's stall and burn strategy once again takes the day as he wins his fourth episode of the series.

## Background

Legacy of Darkness was released in the TCG on June 6, 2003. This set introduces Spirit monsters. The set also includes significant support for the Warrior, Dragon, and Fiend types at low rarity.

Leah is the defending champion looking for her second consecutive win. MBT and Danny are still hoping for their first episode win.

## Matches

### Play-in: MBT vs. Danny

Danny comes in with a Warrior deck with a Fusion Gate splash, and MBT is on EARTH Warrior. Danny hits over MBT's Giant Rat, which allows MBT to get to an Injection Fairy Lily and push for a lot of damage on the next turn. Danny avoids immediately dying with a 4-Starred Ladybug and nearly turns the tables with Zombyra the Dark. However, Danny can't clear the Fairy Lily and MBT is able to finish with a Battle Phase Call of the Haunted for game.

Winner: MBT

### Semifinal 1: Brent vs. Gavin

Brent is on a LIGHT theme while Gavin is playing burn once again. Brent gets the beatsticks out first, but Gavin's 4-Starred Ladybug deals with the board. Brent uses a Solemn Judgment to stop another 4-Starred Ladybug, but that gets Gavin's burn strategy going as he flips 2 Skull Invitation. Brent tries to use Solemn Wishes to counter, but Gavin's Bad Reaction to Simochi seals the game.

Winner: Gavin

### Semifinal 2: Leah vs. MBT

MBT immediately starts with Warrior Dai Grepher, Mage Power, Gaia Power and Set cards to make it 4200 ATK, and puts the pressure on. Leah sets him back with a Mysterious Guard, but MBT answers her follow-up Gearfried the Iron Knight with a Bottomless Trap Hole. Leah runs out of monsters and MBT attacks for game.

Winner: MBT

### Finals: Gavin vs. MBT

MBT gets in damage early, but Gavin manages to get out Labyrinth Wall to stop MBT's monsters. Gavin tries to set up A Legendary Ocean/Tornado Wall, but MBT outs it with a Gaia Power. MBT is unable to get over the Labyrinth Wall however, and eventually Gavin sets up the Spear Cretin loop. Gavin stalls out until he gets to an Amazoness Archer and Skull Invitation, and is able to burn MBT out to win the episode.

Winner: Gavin

## Did Joseph mald?

Kind of. He was certainly frustrated after losing to Gavin's burn, but not sure if I'd call it a full mald.
