NeoGoat Deck Analysis: EARTH Aggro Control

 This deck exemplifies the Earth Aggro Control archetype, built around Berserk Gorilla and Gigantes, two of the most efficient beaters available. With Giant Rat serving as both a recruiter and extender, the deck maintains momentum even after trading resources.

Unlike traditional Goat Control variants, this list focuses less on reactive play and more on maintaining constant board presence. Cards like Nimble Momonga and Injection Fairy Lily help swing tempo and life points, while Jinzo and Royal Decree lock out traps to allow your monsters to dominate the field.

Gaia Power further amplifies this plan — boosting your already strong Earth monsters to overwhelming levels, making even Momonga or Rat capable of trading up.


Key Cards and Synergies

  • Berserk Gorilla – The deck’s main attacker. At 2000 ATK (or 2500 under Gaia Power), Gorilla outs nearly every standard-level 4 monster in the format.

  • Giant Rat – Acts as a tutor for the entire deck. It enables plays with Exiled Force, Nimble Momonga, Injection Fairy Lily, and even Gigantes follow-ups.

  • Gigantes – A natural fit, easily summoned while also clearing backrow — ideal for pushing through control decks.

  • Royal Decree + Jinzo – A powerful anti-trap suite that shuts down the opponent’s defensive options. This combination is especially deadly when you’re ahead on board.

  • Last Will – Often enabled by Exiled Force, Rat, or Gigantes, it adds consistency and can instantly get you a D.D. Warrior Lady or Injection Fairy Lily.


Side Deck Plan

The side deck offers flexibility against the diverse NeoGoat metagame:

  • Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer and King Tiger Wanghu are excellent against Chaos and Recruiter-based decks.

  • Dark Driceratops helps bypass defensive setups.

  • Bottomless Trap Hole and Sakuretsu Armor can be swapped in when removing Royal Decree, against Zombie Aggro decks for example.

  • Extra removal like Shield Crush and Book of Moon against walls and flip-effect monsters

This Earth deck is straightforward and reliable. It hits hard, keeps pressure with steady field presence, and can handle many matchups thanks to its mix of power and control. In a format where Earth decks are already popular, this build shows how consistency and simple aggression can still go a long way.
