NeoDraft Tournament Report December 26th, 2025 — Retro Pack 2 Edition

Our latest NeoDraft event was played under the Retro Pack 2 Edition, delivering one of the most chaotic and entertaining draft experiences we’ve had so far. With 13 players and 4 rounds, the tournament perfectly showcased what NeoDraft is all about: adapting on the fly, embracing imperfect decks, and letting the draft itself tell the story.

Tournament Overview

  • Players: 13

  • Rounds: 4

  • Format: NeoDraft — Retro Pack 2 Edition

  • Final Match: Monarch vs Chaos

  • Champion: Monarch Deck

Retro Pack 2 created a very raw environment—powerful staples, limited consistency tools, and a lot of “you get what you get” moments. Tribute-based strategies benefited greatly from this, and throughout the event the Monarch deck proved to be the most stable and efficient option in a field full of improvised builds.

When the Draft Fights Back

One of the most memorable aspects of the tournament was how the very same drafted cards ended up sabotaging players’ own strategies:

  • A player opened games with Necrovalley while piloting an Exodia deck.

  • Another started with Mask of Restrict despite running Monarchs.

  • One more opened Royal Decree in a deck that included two Jar cards and multiple traps, while his opponent was playing Horus.

These moments perfectly captured the spirit of NeoDraft Retro Pack 2—sometimes the cards you draft are just as dangerous to you as they are to your opponent.

The Final: Monarch vs Chaos

The tournament concluded with a classic Monarch vs Chaos final. Chaos had access to explosive turns and comeback potential, but the Monarch deck maintained control of the game through consistent tribute summons and solid removal. In the end, steady pressure and resource management secured the win and crowned the Monarch player as the champion.

Prize Opening Video 

After the finals, we recorded a special prize opening video featuring the tournament winner opening almost 15 different booster packs. The sheer variety of packs made this one of the most fun prize openings we’ve shared, and it’s a great watch for anyone who enjoys old-school pulls and unexpected surprises.
