The NeoGoat local tournament held on January 8, 2026, brought together 18 players for 4 rounds of play. The event delivered a good balance of competitive matches, personal deck choices, and the kind of small stories that tend to define NeoGoat nights.
Round 1: Hero Fusion 🏆 vs Good Stuff
The tournament opened with an Elemental HERO Fusion deck taking a convincing win against a Good Stuff build. It was a strong start for HEROes, immediately putting pressure on more generic strategies.
Round 2: Skill Drain 🏆 vs Exodia Deck
A familiar face at the tables — easily identified by a butcher shop–themed playmat — piloted a Skill Drain deck against Exodia. Disruption won over setup, and the Skill Drain player secured the match before Exodia could stabilize. He used Deck Devastation Virus to ruin Exodia in last duel.
Round 3: Skill Drain vs Chaos 🏆
The butcher-themed Skill Drain deck was paired against Chaos. Chaos won the duel itself, but the situation took an unusual turn: the Chaos player had to leave the venue and conceded the round, allowing the event to proceed without delays.
Final Round: Skill Drain vs Earth Deck 🏆
The final round once again featured the veteran player who had reached the finals in the previous Tuesday event. This time, he faced the Skill Drain player using the butcher-themed playmat. Drawing on experience rather than any single deck choice, the veteran player secured the win and appeared in the finals for the second consecutive event.
Final Notes
-
The Elemental HERO Fusion player finished in 4th place, a solid result for the strategy.
-
Earth once again proved its consistency across longer events.
-
Skill Drain was one of the most discussed decks of the night, performing well but ultimately falling short in the final round.
A strong showing for NeoGoat at the start of 2026, reinforcing the format’s mix of competitiveness, experimentation, and personality-driven play.
