## Background

Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy was released in the TCG on May 16, 2013. It introduced the "Battlin' Boxer" and "Mecha Phantom Beast" archetypes, the "Dragon Ruler" series, and new support for the "Fire King", "Fire Fist", "Harpie", "Mermail", "Madolche", "Spellbook", and "Constellar" archetypes. Other notable cards include Ice Beast Zerofyne, Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack, King of the Feral Imps, Spellbook of Judgment, Mind Drain, and Totem Bird

Leah comes in as the 2-time defending champion, hoping to become the first player ever to win 3 consecutive episodes. The other players have a lot of ground to make up with Leah holding a 4.5 point lead on her nearest competitor. Brent, in particular, hasn't won a game in the last 3 weeks and hopes to snap his losing streak.
