Last week there were two NeoGoat local tournaments. In this post, we'll recap the standout moments, highlight some of the top competitors, and discuss the strategies that led to their successes.
Week's Deck Profile: Monarch Deck
One of the two tournaments was won by a duelist new to the format. The Monarch deck he used performed excellently and surprised many players. Some of his duels can be seen in the duel videos. The primary strategy of the Monarch deck is to establish board control through the efficient use of tribute summoned Monarchs while maintaining resource advantage through removal. The opponent has a hard time leaving monsters on the field since they could be tribute food for the opponent monarchs. Also, summoning Tsukuyomi on the opponent battle phase with Ultimate Offering was a powerful combo.
Monarch vs Warriors (Tuesday)
The next tournament the same player used his same deck but this time one of the duelists was prepared for his strategy, using Mask of Restrict and many other trap cards, he won second and third game. At the end of the match he claimed the Maze of the Master booster pack and he pulled a Collector Mulcharmy Purulia.
Apologies for the recent lack of activity — things have been a bit busy on our end. But we’re back, and we’ve got some fresh tournament reports to share with you all! We've had many NeoGoat tournaments, but here we have the most recent results. Edgar Carrillo won the tournament using a zombie chaos deck.

Here are some videos of matches from last tournaments:
This is an idea for a burn deck for NeoGoat. Using Lava Golem that can be Special Summoned to the opponent's field, you can use Ojama tokens and tribute them if your opponent is not summoning monsters. If you have Owner's Seal or Remove Brainwashing, you can use these to transfer control of Lava Golem and Ojama tokens to yourself, the original owner, you can tribute Ojama Tokens with Cannon Soldier. In addition, since these monsters have high attack power, you can aim for large damage by using Zoma the Spirit to attack the Lava Golem.
This past NeoGoat tournament one of the standout decks was Gravekeepers, who maintained an undefeated record until the final match.
However, in the final we had the gravekeepers against an unusual deck that features a mix of Cyber-Stein and Monarch cards, focusing on quick summons and disruptive effects, creativity and innovation can triumph even over the most established decks.
There were many twists and shifts in the duels, the last part included a very fun situation with a Morphing Jar# 2.
There were many interesting deck ideas in last tournament in Cartoncito Cards, Mexico. The winner used a water vanilla deck. We got the decklist at the end of the tournament.
This deck uses many of the Normal support that was added to the format.
Thanks to Alberto Sandoval who sent us his Monarch decklist. He says that the deck's main objective is to achieve maximum efficiency of cards advantage.
