Episode 38 - Storm of Ragnarok

## Storm of Ragnarok

Storm of Ragnarok is the thirty-eighth episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Progression Playoff, and the eleventh episode of Season 3, the 5D's arc. It debuted on MBT Yu-Gi-Oh's YouTube channel on September 18, 2021. This episode was sponsored by Skillshare. Brent blows by MBT and Gavin outlasts Danny to set up a rematch in finals. Brent gets his revenge, beating Gavin this time for his second episode win of the season.

## Background

Storm of Ragnarok was released in the TCG on February 8, 2011. This set introduced the "Nordic" and "Symphonic Warrior" archetypes, as well as new support for the "Six Samurai" archetype, the "Legendary Six Samurai". It also featured new support for the "Blackwing", "Karakuri", "Scrap", "Watt", and "Worm" archetypes. Other notable cards in this set include Doppelwarrior, Forbidden Lance, Chaos Hunter, and Maxx "C".

Gavin comes in having tied MBT at the top with 3 episode wins, with each hoping to pull away from the other with a win here. Leah, despite making by far the most finals appearances, sits a win behind them and looks to join the 3-win club. Brent and Danny, having struggled thus far, hope to make a late season surge.

## Matches

### Play-in: Leah vs. Danny

Leah is playing Watt Frogs, while Danny is on X-Sabers. Danny swarms with X-Sabers, and attacks into Leah's Wattdragonfly, which allows Leah to set up the Watt lock with 2 Watthoppers. Leah Summons Wattgiraffe and begins poking directly, slowly draining Danny's LP. With only 1 turn left, Danny manages to Summon Dark Strike Fighter and Tribute 6 monsters to burn Leah for just enough to win.

Winner: Danny

### Semifinal 1: Brent vs. MBT

Brent is on Karakuri, MBT is on Koa'ki Meiru Rocks. MBT Summons some Koa'ki Meirus, but Brent outs them with Karakuri Trick House. Brent gets to Karakuri Anatomy to draw 2, and eventually Summons Scrap Dragon, putting MBT's back to the wall. MBT's last chance is to Summon Power Giant with Solidarity to beat the Scrap Dragon, but Brent's Double Cyclone destroys Solidarity, and MBT concedes.

Winner: Brent

### Semifinal 2: Gavin vs. Danny

Gavin is playing Karakuri Psychics. Danny's Pashuul protects him from Gavin's early attacks. Gavin Summons Armored Axon Kicker, but Danny outs it with Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind. Danny Summons Iron Chain Dragon and Formula Synchron. During Gavin's turn, Danny uses Formula Synchron to Summon Black-Winged Dragon, but Gavin outs it with Snowman Eater. Danny tries to stall with Pashuul and Reptilianne Naga, but effectively burns himself to death.

Winner: Gavin

### Finals: Brent vs. Gavin

Brent Summons Iron Chain Dragon. Gavin tries to use Darkworld Shackles, but Brent stops it with Double Cyclone. Gavin uses 2 Karakuri Trick House to out Brent's board, and Fairy Wind to beat Anatomy, seemingly putting the game in his favor. Eventually, though, Brent Summons Burei to turn the tables back. Brent almost misses lethal, before literally everyone including Gavin reminds him he has it, and Brent wins.

Winner: Brent
