Here are four tournament decklists from the latest NeoGoat action, each showing a different angle of the format. Some lists attack the board directly, some build long-term advantage, and others try to lock the opponent into uncomfortable positions.
The names below are not strict archetype labels. They are tournament profile names, meant to give each deck a stronger identity than just calling everything “Chaos,” “Good Stuff,” or “Control.”
1. Beastdown

Tiger Gate is built around immediate pressure and controlled aggression. King Tiger Wanghu limits smaller summons, Berserk Gorilla forces combat, and the rest of the list backs that pressure with efficient removal and strong trap coverage.
The deck can play aggressively without giving up interaction. Kycoo, Wanghu, Berserk Gorilla and Zaborg apply pressure from different angles, while Bottomless Trap Hole, Sakuretsu Armor, Magic Cylinder, Ring of Destruction and Torrential Tribute make it difficult for the opponent to stabilize.
Black Luster Soldier gives the list a powerful closing threat, but the deck does not rely only on Chaos. Its main strength is forcing the opponent to play through a board that punishes both weak monsters and careless attacks.

2. The Arsenal
Deck link: Open in NeoGoat Deck Viewer
Ivory Arsenal is a refined one-for-one deck built around high-impact monsters and flexible answers. It does not lean into one single engine. Instead, it plays a deep lineup of reliable threats that can trade cleanly and keep pressure on the opponent.
Blade Knight, Kycoo, Don Zaloog, D.D. Assailant, D.D. Warrior Lady, Sasuke and Zombyra all create different combat problems. Jinzo and Zaborg give the list higher-impact plays, while Black Luster Soldier remains the strongest finisher once the graveyard is ready.
The spell and trap lineup keeps the deck balanced. Shield Crush, Book of Moon, Shrink, Solemn Judgment, Dust Tornado and the standard removal suite let the deck adapt to different matchups without needing a complicated setup.
Decklist - Ivory Arsenal
# Main Deck 2 Blade Knight 1 Tribe-Infecting Virus 1 Marshmallon 1 Jinzo 3 Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer 1 Mystic Swordsman LV2 1 Don Zaloog 1 Exiled Force 1 Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning 1 Zaborg the Thunder Monarch 1 D.D. Warrior Lady 1 Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke 1 D.D. Assailant 1 Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive 1 Spirit Reaper 1 Breaker the Magical Warrior 1 Zombyra the Dark 1 Shield Crush 1 Book of Moon 1 Brain Control 1 Pot of Greed 1 Nobleman of Crossout 1 Reinforcement of the Army 1 Premature Burial 1 Heavy Storm 1 Mystical Space Typhoon 1 Shrink 1 Sakuretsu Armor 1 Mirror Force 1 Widespread Ruin 1 Bottomless Trap Hole 1 Solemn Judgment 1 Call of the Haunted 2 Dust Tornado 1 Ring of Destruction 1 Torrential Tribute # Side Deck 2 King Tiger Wanghu
3. Chaos Ledger
Thunder Ledger is a Chaos list focused on resource management. Thunder Dragon loads the graveyard and fixes hand structure, while Jar of Greed, Dekoichi, Gravekeeper's Spy and Night Assailant help the deck keep cards moving throughout the duel.
Phoenix Wing Wind Blast gives the deck a strong tempo tool, especially with Sinister Serpent and Night Assailant available as discard material. The list is comfortable playing a longer game, slowing the opponent down while preparing Black Luster Soldier.
This deck is not only about summoning BLS. It wins by making small exchanges profitable, protecting itself with traps, and eventually turning those incremental advantages into a decisive board state.

# Main Deck 3 Gravekeeper's Spy 1 D.D. Warrior Lady 1 Blade Knight 1 Don Zaloog 1 Tribe-Infecting Virus 1 Mystic Swordsman LV2 1 Exiled Force 3 Thunder Dragon 1 Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning 3 Jar of Greed 2 Phoenix Wing Wind Blast 2 Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive 1 Sinister Serpent 2 Night Assailant 1 Breaker the Magical Warrior 1 Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer 1 Heavy Storm 1 Premature Burial 1 Pot of Greed 1 Brain Control 1 Upstart Goblin 1 Mystical Space Typhoon 1 Book of Moon 1 Reinforcement of the Army 1 Scapegoat 1 Torrential Tribute 1 Ring of Destruction 1 Call of the Haunted 1 Mirror Force 2 Bottomless Trap Hole # Side Deck 2 Cipher Soldier 2 Des Wombat 2 King Tiger Wanghu 2 Mobius the Frost Monarch 2 The End of Anubis 1 Soul Exchange 2 Royal Decree 2 Nobleman of Crossout
4. Red-Eyes Lockdown
Crimson Lockdown is the most unusual list of the group. It combines Red-Eyes recursion with Skill Drain pressure, using Red-Eyes Wyvern and Red-Eyes Spirit to keep large monsters coming back while Skill Drain limits the opponent’s ability to answer through monster effects.
Fusilier Dragon is one of the key cards here. Under Skill Drain, it becomes a major threat, and it also works well with the deck’s heavier trap structure. Prisma and E - Emergency Call help access Red-Eyes names, while Raigeki Break, Dust Tornado and the standard power cards give the deck enough interaction to stay in the game.
This is not a standard Chaos pile or a normal beatdown deck. It is a dedicated pressure deck with a recursion plan, a lockdown plan, and enough explosive cards to punish opponents who underestimate it.
Decklist - Crimson Lockdown
# Main Deck 2 Red-Eyes B. Dragon 3 Red-Eyes Spirit 3 Red-Eyes Wyvern 2 Elemental HERO Prisma 1 Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning 2 Dust Tornado 2 E - Emergency Call 1 Breaker the Magical Warrior 1 Deck Devastation Virus 1 Heavy Storm 1 Lightning Vortex 2 Metamorphosis 1 Mirror Force 1 Mystical Space Typhoon 1 Pot of Greed 1 Premature Burial 1 Reinforcement of the Army 1 Ring of Destruction 1 Scapegoat 1 Sinister Serpent 2 Raigeki Break 1 Exiled Force 2 Zombyra the Dark 1 Call of the Haunted 3 Skill Drain 1 Solemn Judgment 3 Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast # Extra Deck 1 B. Skull Dragon 1 Meteor Black Dragon # Side Deck 1 Giant Trunade 2 Nobleman of Crossout 1 Swords of Revealing Light 1 Torrential Tribute 2 Sakuretsu Armor 2 Mobius the Frost Monarch 1 Malevolent Catastrophe
Closing Thoughts
These lists show several different directions available in NeoGoat right now. Tiger Gate pressures summons and combat. Ivory Arsenal plays a clean, flexible threat package. Thunder Ledger builds value until Chaos becomes live. Crimson Lockdown attacks from a completely different angle with Skill Drain and Red-Eyes recursion.
The format continues to reward both technical play and deck identity. A list does not need to look like every other successful deck to compete, but it does need a clear plan, strong interaction, and enough pressure to close games before the opponent takes over.
