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.
