The final NeoDraft tournament using Flaming Eternity was held at Cartoncito Cards, bringing together 21 players for five rounds of competition.
It was a fitting conclusion to the FET cycle, with HERO Fusion, Water, Relinquished, Warriors, a strange 60-card strategy and Zombie Chaos all appearing in the recorded feature matches. After several long and difficult duels, Zombie Chaos finished the event as the final Flaming Eternity champion.
Event: NeoDraft – Flaming Eternity
Venue: Cartoncito Cards
Players: 21
Rounds: 5
Champion: Zombie Chaos
Round 1 was not recorded, so the video coverage begins with the second round.
Round 2 – HERO Fusion vs. Water
The first recorded match featured HERO Fusion against Water. Water took the opening duel with an aggressive push involving Mermaid Knight and Rush Recklessly.
The first Flaming Eternity additions shown during the match were Blade Rabbit for HERO Fusion and Threatening Roar for Water.
HERO Fusion answered in Duel 2 by summoning Elemental HERO Wildedge. Its ability to attack every opposing monster allowed the HERO player to clear the Water field and equalize the match. The next FET cards were Penalty Game! for HERO Fusion and Space Mambo for Water.
The deciding duel belonged to HERO Fusion. A powerful Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman reached the field and delivered the victory. The final cards associated with the match were The Light - Hex-Sealed Fusion for HERO Fusion and Meteor of Destruction for Water.
Result: HERO Fusion wins 2–1.
Round 3 – Relinquished vs. Zombie Chaos
Round 3 produced one extremely long duel between Relinquished and Zombie Chaos. Both strategies played several defensive and stall cards, turning the duel into a slow battle of resources.
With almost all of the round time consumed by the first duel, its winner would also take the match. Zombie Chaos received Forced Ceasefire, while Relinquished acquired Fulfillment of the Contract.
Fulfillment of the Contract proved particularly useful in this matchup, as it was later used to revive the third copy of Relinquished that had been summoned during the duel.
Despite that recovery, the Zombie deck survived the repeated Relinquished summons and eventually won through deck-out after many turns.
Result: Zombie Chaos wins the match after one marathon duel.
Round 4 – 60-Card Deck vs. Warriors
Round 4 featured one of the most unusual decks of the tournament: a 60-card construction facing a more conventional Warrior strategy.
The 60-card deck won the opening duel. Its first featured FET card was Insect Knight, while Warriors received Element Doom.
Another notable card appeared during Duel 2 when the 60-card player received an Ultimate Rare Ultimate Insect LV5. When summoned through its intended evolution line, Ultimate Insect LV5 can reduce the ATK of every opposing monster by 500. The Warrior player received Behemoth the King of All Animals.
The match eventually reached a third duel. The 60-card player added Whirlwind Prodigy, while Warriors received Firebird.
With very few resources remaining, the Warrior player found the decisive play: Brain Control took possession of an opposing Zaborg the Thunder Monarch, allowing Warriors to close the duel and complete the comeback.
Result: Warriors wins 2–1.
Round 5 – Relinquished vs. Zombie Chaos
The final round placed a second Relinquished deck against the same Zombie Chaos strategy seen in Round 3.
The Zombie deck used Call of the Mummy to Special Summon its larger Zombie monsters. It also included a small LIGHT engine to enable Chaos monsters, together with defensive cards that created enough time to generate advantage with Des Lacooda.
During the first duel, Relinquished received Golem Sentry, while Zombie Chaos added Space Mambo.
Relinquished made the duel difficult, but Zombie Chaos eventually found its opening. A well-timed Heavy Storm cleared the back row, and Book of Life then brought Ryu Kokki back to the field to secure the first victory.
In Duel 2, Relinquished received Behemoth the King of All Animals, while Zombie Chaos added Big-Tusked Mammoth.
Zombie Chaos won the second duel as well, taking both the match and the tournament.
Final result: Zombie Chaos wins the match 2–0 and becomes the last Flaming Eternity NeoDraft champion at Cartoncito Cards.
The End of the Flaming Eternity Cycle
This final FET tournament showed once again what makes NeoDraft different from regular constructed play. Cards that rarely receive attention elsewhere became important pieces of real tournament strategies. Ritual recovery cards, unusual monsters, situational traps and even an Ultimate Rare pull could influence the direction of an entire match.
From Shining Flare Wingman and Mermaid Knight to marathon Relinquished duels and the creative Zombie Chaos engine, the last Flaming Eternity event offered five rounds of unpredictable NeoGoat play.
After surviving two demanding feature matches, including a deck-out duel and a difficult final round, Zombie Chaos closed the Flaming Eternity chapter as tournament champion.
