Episode 87 - Cyberstorm Access

## Cyberstorm Access

Cyberstorm Access is the eighty-seventh episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Progression Playoff, and the twelfth and final standard episode of Season 7, the SEVENS arc. It debuts on MBT Yu-Gi-Oh's YouTube channel on February 25, 2023. MBT gets the final 2-0 of the series with his Chaos Manadome deck, while Danny finally suffers his first 0-2 of the season.

## Background

Cyberstorm Access was released in the OCG on January 14, 2023, and will be released in the TCG on May 5, 2023. The OCG version of this set introduces the "Manadome" and "Nemurelia" archetypes, as well as new support for the "Superheavy Samurai", "Tellarknight", "Cyberse", "Purrely", "Branded", and "Despia" archetypes and series. Other notable cards include Pendulumoon, Wannabee!, Chaos Angel, GranSolfachord Coolia, Fusion Reproduction, Time-Rending Morganite, and Trap Track.

Danny has virtually locked up the season, but that won't stop him from continuing to try to build on his historically dominant season. Leah and MBT are in a neck-and-neck race for second place, and Gavin and Brent are hoping to end the series on a strong note.
