Final Match — Monarch Chaos 🏆 vs Beastdown
Duel 1
Monarch Chaos opened with Blade Knight, but Beastdown quickly established pressure with Pot of Greed into Berserk Gorilla.
The tempo shifted early when King Tiger Wang Hu hit the field, followed by Nobleman of Crossout removing Dekoichi, limiting Chaos’ ability to generate advantage.
Monarch Chaos responded with Breaker the Magical Warrior and Snatch Steal, stabilizing the field, but Beastdown maintained pressure with Jinzo.
A key exchange followed: Chaos Sorcerer removed Jinzo, but was immediately answered by Exiled Force. The duel continued with both players trading resources efficiently.
At one point, Monarch Chaos lost an Exiled Force by mistake after summoning it into an active Wang Hu, giving Beastdown a small advantage.
However, the momentum shifted again when Brain Control took Wang Hu, allowing a tribute summon into Zaborg the Thunder Monarch to clear the field.
From there, Gravekeeper’s Spy generated advantage, Pot of Greed refilled resources, and Jinzo secured control of the board, leading to a direct attack for game.
Monarch Chaos leads 1–0.
Duel 2
Beastdown once again opened with King Tiger Wang Hu, immediately limiting Monarch Chaos’ options.
The early game was slower, with both players relying on set monsters and defensive play. Marshmallon helped stall, while Gravekeeper’s Spy attempted to build advantage under pressure from Wang Hu.
A critical moment came when Monarch Chaos tributed for Zaborg targeting Wang Hu, but My Body as a Shield protected it and destroyed Zaborg instead.
Both players then exchanged removal cards, including Torrential Tribute, Bottomless Trap Hole, and Heavy Storm, resetting the field multiple times.
Beastdown applied pressure with D.D. Assailant and Gigantes, but could not fully close the game.
In the final sequence, Monarch Chaos regained control with Snatch Steal, followed by Zaborg clearing the field. A Chaos Sorcerer was then summoned, allowing a direct attack to finish the match.
Monarch Chaos wins the final 2–0.
