New September 2025 Loaner Decks

Anti-Chaos Zombies

Vampire's Curse is preferred in this deck because it can be searched by Gobliz Zombie. Use the high-level zombie monsters in your hand as a cost for monster destruction spells and then banish the destroyed monsters with Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer.

Sidedeck:
D.D. Warrior and Mirror Force can be used against Horus decks.
Mobius and Spell-Shattering Arrow can be used to eliminate Necrovalleys.
Cipher Soldier and Gyaku Gire Panda are low-level monsters against Warrior or Stall decks and can be searched by Giant Rat.
Vampire Lord is for decks with many effect-based destruction cards, such as Gadget decks.

1x Breaker the Magical Warrior
1x Exiled Force
3x Giant Rat
2x Goblin Zombie

Gearfried the Iron Knight Chibi 

Equip cards that, when destroyed by effects, give you advantages. Blast with Chain also work with Maha Vailo, a Light-attribute monster that will later be useful for summoning Chaos Sorcerer. It includes a proportion of Light and Dark monsters.

Soul Rope is an OCG card valid in NeoGoat and is a good alternative to search for Gearfried when a monster is destroyed by an effect, since Reinforcement of the Army is limited and it is not advisable to carry three copies of Gearfried. 

Malevolent Catastrophe is a good option for side deck since it can trigger the Blast with Chains to clear the opponent's field.

1x Chaos Sorcerer
1x Gigantes

1x Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke

Special Tournament Report: Blind Destruction 🎲

NeoGoat Special Event Report: Chaos Dice Challenge!

This week's NeoGoat side event delivered one of the wildest custom formats yet: each player started with a Blind Destruction always face-up on their side of the field, triggering every Standby Phase.

Continuous Trap

Once per turn, during your Standby Phase: Roll a six-sided die. If the result is 1-5, destroy all monsters on the field with the same Level as the number rolled. If it is 6, destroy all Level 6 and higher monsters on the field.

But there was a twist — players could skip their own Blind Destruction activation by sending one card from their hand to their Graveyard during their Standby Phase. This rule led to constant tough decisions: discard a card to keep your monster safe, or gamble and risk losing it at random?

The metagame looked refreshingly diverse thanks to this variant. Alongside staples like Chaos and Gravekeepers, there were rogue contenders like Burn, Amazoness Aggro, and even an experimental Gadget Control build. Recruiters, floaters, and hand advantage became more important than ever, and overextending without discard fodder often led to disaster.

The finals came down to Gravekeepers vs. Chaos, and it was a nail-biting series.

                                                        

    Chaos player exploited the Blind Destruction rule masterfully, using the Thunder Dragons and Night Assailant as discard fodder ready. Necrovalley locked down Chaos’s graveyard plays at key moments.

    Sometimes the Gravekeepers lost crucial monsters to Blind Destruction, but in the end, Gravekeepers took the championship, sealing the victory with a combo of Gravekeeper's Guard lock and constant Tsukuyomi avoiding the random destruction and returning opponent's monsters.

The Battlefield

Top Players at the event holding prizes.

In addition to Booster Box of their choice, the winner got to choose as a symbolic prize a Chessex set of six-sided dice.



Some more gameplay

The event showcased just how flexible and creative NeoGoat can be when house rules shake up the meta. Expect more wild experiments like this and maybe the Gadget and Amazoness decklists in the next post.

Deck Idea: Machine Chaos VWXYZ

Been testing a spicy take on NeoGoat that mixes the VWXYZ Union engine with a Chaos shell. The idea is to leverage the V, W, X, Y, Z Machines with Dimension Fusion to swing momentum hard, while still having the raw power of Chaos Sorcerer. Unexpected Dai helps to get a Dark or Light normal monster needed for chaos, or maybe to summon a Machine Fusion, although the fusions are not the main focus of this deck they could be useful in some situations.

  • Union package: X/Y/Z pieces can combine into the fusion bosses (XY-Dragon Cannon, YZ-Tank Dragon, XZ-Tank Cannon, and the big XYZ-Dragon Cannon). Even if they get picked apart, they fuel Chaos plays once they hit GY. The fusions can also be special summoned from banishing or from grave if they were summoned correctly.
  • Dimension Fusion: after banishing machines for fusions and chaos sorcerers, DF brings everything back for a lethal board. You could even summon the VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon boss monster.
  • Royal Decree: shuts off Traps, which would normally ruin your big Dimension Fusion push. With Decree up, your swarms are much safer.
  • Quick-Play Spell toolbox: Book of Moon, Enemy Controller, give defense, plus they dodge Decree’s downside.


Main Deck:

1x Mechanicalchaser
2x X-Head Cannon
1x V-Tiger Jet
1x Jinzo
2x Chaos Sorcerer
1x Blowback Dragon
1x Tribe-Infecting Virus

Special NeoGoat Event: Blind Destruction 🎲

 NeoGoat Special Tournament! 

Special NeoGoat Format Event – Blind Destruction!

Date and Time: Thursday, 21th August, 7:00 p.m.

Place: Cartoncito Cards

Welcome to the Blind Destruction NeoGoat Special Tournament, where luck, chaos, and strategy collide!

Special Rule:

From the very start of the duel, each player begins with a face-up Blind Destruction in their Center Spell & Trap Zone, that card can't be destroyed or removed from the field but it can be negated.

    Blind Destruction's Effect (Continuous Trap)

Once per turn, during your Standby Phase: Roll a six-sided die. If the result is 1-5, destroy all monsters on the field with the same Level as the number rolled. If it is 6, destroy all Level 6 and higher monsters on the field.

    Survival Option: On your turn, you may send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard to skip your Blind Destruction effect for that turn.

Can you master the balance between luck, resources, and timing? Or will the dice gods claim your monsters every Standby Phase?

Deck-Building Tip: You can use your regular NeoGoat deck, or you could bring a special deck crafted for this event! Use monsters that laugh at destruction, like Elemental Hero – Wildheart (unaffected by Traps), self-flipping monsters that hide each turn, or Spirit monsters that leave from the field before the dice can claim them. Creative strategies are not just allowed — they’re encouraged! 

Get ready, duelists… it’s time to let the dice decide! 🎲

Deck Idea: Fire Beast Deck

I've been working on a fire beast deck in NeoGoat since Manticore of Darkness is now an unlimited card, Oil card was added and also Flame Tiger. Manticore of Darkness can easily be sent to the graveyard from the deck or discarded from hand and then use it's effect on the End Phase to summon it to your field, Oil will return fire monsters to use for the cost of Manticore.

Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu seems like a good fire monster and it's also a Beast-Warrior. For the side deck, Skill Drain seems to work fine with Manticore and Green Baboon, also Behemoth the King of all Beasts would be a 2700 atk monster that can be summoned with one tribute. I like to use Soul Exchange with Behemoth, you remove opponent monster and get back a beast-type monster from your graveyard. 

This is a work in progress, this decklist is not a tested strategy, I'm just presenting it here to start some new ideas, especially for Fire themed decks.




Main Deck:
3x Great Angus
1x Behemoth the King of All Animals
1x Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest
3x Manticore of Darkness
3x Flame Tiger
1x Enraged Battle Ox
1x Tribe-Infecting Virus
1x Breaker the Magical Warrior
1x Exiled Force
2x Little Chimera
1x Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu

1x Heavy Storm
1x Pot of Greed
1x Lightning Vortex
3x Oil
3x Foolish Burial
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Book of Moon
1x Mirage of Nightmare
1x Axe of Despair
1x Snatch Steal
1x Premature Burial
1x Molten Destruction

2x Raigeki Break
1x Mirror Force
1x Torrential Tribute
1x Ring of Destruction
1x Call of the Haunted

Side Deck:

NeoGoat rulings that differ from Goat

 In NeoGoat format some cards are more powerful than in Goat format, here we present 3 examples:

My Body as a Shield


My Body as a Shield can be activated during damage step in NeoGoat format, because it negates card activations. The rule here is that if a quick-play spell, monster effect or trap card negates card activations it can be used during damage step, for example, Stardust Dragon in Edison Format. 

Last Will


The ruling we use here is that Last Will can be activated as a normal spell card, (you can activate this spell it even if you don't have any other card), after that, you can use it's effect if a monster on your side of the field has been sent to your graveyard this turn and you can resolve the effect of your Last Will anytime during the turn, even Battle phase or End phase as you can see in the video, just not inside a chain or other action as this effect is not chainable. Also, you can use more than one Last will, in that case each one will work separatedly, you could also end your turn without using the effect even if you could.

Fox Fire


In Goat Format, if a face-down Fox Fire is attacked, its effect is not applied even though it is face-up when destroyed. But in NeoGoat it can use it's effects even if it was face-down when the attack was declared. The card text seems to specify that it should be face-up at any moment but as you can see in the video this is how it works, so it's more like a Revival Jam.

We will be posting more rulings like these in the future so players can use these cards accordingly.
