In the previous article we introduced the first batch of NeoGoat loaner decks for the season.
This entry continues that project with four additional loaner decks, each representing a different playstyle, but all sharing the same goal:
competitive decks that reward good decisions, not broken cards.
These decks are meant to be picked up by new or returning players and used immediately in real NeoGoat matches.
Chaos Control
This is the classic Chaos Control shell, properly adapted to NeoGoat.
There is no Black Luster Soldier.
There is no Graceful Charity.
Yet the strategy still works exactly as Chaos should: slow control, incremental advantage, and clean finishes.
Main Deck:
2x Blade Knight
1x Breaker the Magical Warrior
2x Chaos Sorcerer
1x D.D. Warrior Lady
2x Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive
1x Exiled Force
1x Gravekeeper's Guard
2x Gravekeeper's Spy
2x Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer
1x Mobius the Frost Monarch
1x Mystic Swordsman LV2
2x Night Assailant
3x Thunder Dragon
1x Tribe-Infecting Virus
1x Tsukuyomi
1x Book of Moon
1x Heavy Storm
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Pot of Greed
1x Premature Burial
1x Reinforcement of the Army
1x Snatch Steal
2x Bottomless Trap Hole
2x Jar of Greed
1x Mirror Force
2x Raigeki Break
2x Sakuretsu Armor
1x Torrential Tribute
Side Deck:
1x Magician of Faith
2x Nobleman of Crossout
1x Call of the Haunted
2x Pulling the Rug
2x Dust Tornado
The deck relies on proven value engines:
Thunder Dragon, Jar of Greed, and Dekoichi for consistency
Gravekeeper’s Spy as a real defensive wall
Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer to manage graveyards
Chaos Sorcerer as a controlled finisher rather than a high-roll win condition
The LIGHT/DARK ratios are tuned specifically for NeoGoat.
The main deck leans intentionally DARK-heavy, while the side deck allows you to rebalance depending on the matchup.
Chaos is still competitive in NeoGoat, but no longer Tier 0.
Because of that, player decisions matter more than ever, which makes this deck ideal as a learning tool.
Horus Volcanic
This deck combines the Horus LV engine with the constant pressure of the Volcanic core, creating a flexible control strategy that adapts well to both slow and aggressive games.
Main Deck:
3x Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4
3x Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6
1x Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8
3x Masked Dragon
1x Spirit of Flames
1x The Thing in the Crater
1x Tribe-Infecting Virus
2x UFO Turtle
2x Volcanic Hammerer
3x Volcanic Shell
2x Volcanic Slicer
3x Bonfire
3x Book of Moon
2x Circle of the Fire Kings
1x Heavy Storm
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Lightning Vortex
1x Pot of Greed
1x Snatch Steal
1x Call of the Haunted
2x Raigeki Break
1x Ring of Destruction
1x Torrential Tribute
Side Deck:
1x Breaker the Magical Warrior
2x Inferno
2x Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer
1x Giant Trunade
1x Lightning Vortex
2x Shield Crush
1x Spell Shattering Arrow
2x Dust Tornado
1x Mirror Force
2x Royal Decree
The main objective is to stabilize early and transition into a Horus lock:
Horus LV4 evolves into LV6 and LV8, shutting down opposing Spell cards
Once the lock is established, the Volcanic engine operates with much less interference
The Volcanic package turns discards into pressure:
Volcanic Shell fuels resources and consistency
Volcanic Hammerer and Volcanic Slicer provide board presence and damage
Key interactions like Circle of the Fire Kings with The Thing in the Crater allow the deck to recycle monsters and maintain momentum without overcommitting.
This deck teaches resource management, timing, and patience, rather than explosive combo play.
Unexpected Monarchs
This is a very solid Monarch control deck, enhanced with Unexpected Dai and Soul Exchange to create sudden swing turns.
Main Deck:
1x Zaborg the Thunder Monarch
2x Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch
2x Mobius the Frost Monarch
1x Jinzo
1x Chaos Sorcerer
2x Apprentice Magician
1x Magician of Faith
1x Tsukuyomi
1x D.D. Warrior Lady
1x Exiled Force
1x Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer
1x Old Vindictive Magician
1x Tribe-Infecting Virus
1x Breaker the Magical Warrior
2x Archfiend Soldier
1x Mystical Elf
1x Heavy Storm
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Premature Burial
2x Brain Control
3x Soul Exchange
2x Unexpected Dai
1x Snatch Steal
1x Book of Moon
1x Lightning Vortex
1x Pot of Greed
2x Bottomless Trap Hole
1x Call of the Haunted
1x Mirror Force
1x Ring of Destruction
1x Royal Decree
Side Deck:
1x Gravekeeper's Guard
3x Gravekeeper's Spy
1x Tsukuyomi
3x Necrovalley
3x Nobleman of Crossout
2x Dust Tornado
2x Royal Decree
The plan is straightforward but powerful:
Generate free monsters with Unexpected Dai
Convert them into tributes
Punish the opponent’s board with Monarch effects
Zaborg, Mobius, and Thestalos apply constant pressure on monsters, backrow, and hand resources, while Brain Control and Soul Exchange allow the deck to break boards even when playing from behind.
The spellcaster package (Apprentice Magician, Magician of Faith, Tsukuyomi) ensures steady value throughout the duel.
The side deck lets the deck pivot into a Gravekeeper + Necrovalley control plan or adapt to graveyard-heavy matchups.
This is an excellent loaner deck for learning tribute timing, board control, and matchup adaptation.
Silent Edge – Warrior Control
This deck represents pure Warrior Control: steady pressure, efficient removal, and games decided by tempo.
Main Deck:
3x Blade Knight
1x Breaker the Magical Warrior
2x Chaos Sorcerer
1x D.D. Assailant
1x D.D. Warrior Lady
1x Don Zaloog
1x Exiled Force
2x Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer
1x Mobius the Frost Monarch
1x Mystic Swordsman LV2
1x Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke
1x Spirit Reaper
1x Tribe-Infecting Virus
1x Zombyra the Dark
1x Book of Moon
1x Heavy Storm
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Nobleman of Crossout
1x Pot of Greed
1x Premature Burial
1x Reinforcement of the Army
1x Smashing Ground
1x Snatch Steal
1x Swords of Revealing Light
1x Bottomless Trap Hole
1x Call of the Haunted
1x Dust Tornado
2x Jar of Greed
1x Mirror Force
1x Ring of Destruction
2x Sakuretsu Armor
2x Solemn Judgment
1x Torrential Tribute
Side Deck:
1x Jinzo
1x Mobius the Frost Monarch
1x Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch
1x Zombyra the Dark
1x Enemy Controller
1x Nobleman of Crossout
1x Scapegoat
1x Shrink
2x Bottomless Trap Hole
2x Dust Tornado
1x Sakuretsu Armor
1x Seven Tools of the Bandit
1x Trap Hole
Blade Knight leads the offense, while technical warriors like D.D. Warrior Lady, D.D. Assailant, Mystic Swordsman LV2, and Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke keep the opponent’s field unstable.
Although it looks like a beatdown deck, it plays heavy control:
Double Solemn Judgment
A strong trap lineup (Sakuretsu Armor, Bottomless, Torrential Tribute)
Jar of Greed acting both as a bluff and as tempo smoothing
The small Chaos and Monarch splash provides clean late-game finishes without turning the deck into a gamble.
This deck rewards tight play, correct battle decisions, and knowing when to push and when to hold back.
Final Thoughts
With these four additions, we now have a total of eight official NeoGoat loaner decks for this season.
Together, they cover a wide range of playstyles and learning paths:
-
Chaos resource management
-
Lock-based control strategies
-
Tribute-focused tempo swings
-
Battle-phase pressure and trap timing
None of these decks are meant to overpower the format.
They are designed to teach NeoGoat properly—rewarding sequencing, matchup knowledge, and good decision-making rather than relying on broken cards.
As the format evolves, the loaner pool may continue to change, but this set of eight decks defines the core NeoGoat experience for the season.
NeoGoat is no longer about what you draw.
It’s about how you play what you draw.
