r/Goat_Format

What’s the landscape of GOAT format in the UK?

I’m researching and I can’t see anything. Is it just online play now? I would love to play in person and just have a laugh/nostalgia trip.

I hope the format hasn’t died it was the only version I knew! I came across some Retro Pack 2’s recently (first card purchase since 2005…) and I’m immediately obsessed and want to play again.

I’m in Yorkshire if that matters!

God cards not allowed in GOAT format?

I just recently learned what GOAT format is. Why can't the playable prints of the gods cards from 2011 and 2012 be used in GOAT when the first prints of the god cards (although unplayable) were released between 2003 and 2005? I would think that the first prints from 2003-2005 would be justification enough to allow the 2011 and 2012 playable prints. I'm mainly asking so I can determine if I need to modify one of my decks (intended to be a GOAT deck) that uses them as a gimmick rather than a strategy.

A very niche nitpick that bothered me since 2007 lol (probably)

Best Video Game for Goat Format?

Which Yugioh video game is the best/has the closest card pool for Goat Format? Is it Nightmare Troubadour? I saw a post from a while back on a custom save for World Championship 2006, but that game definitely has Cyber Dragon in it. What’s my best option?

Scapegoat-themed alternate art for GOAT Format staples? Or perhaps even a new “Scapegoat” archetype that references that era?

New(b) player: Hero deck advice

So I recently got back into YuGiOh from my sisters bf through Speed Duel. That was perfect since I only collected/played when I was young and the current format is nuts and I have no idea what any of the cards do. Unfortunately Speed Duel is kinda dead but my sisters bf mentioned other formats.

Lo and behold GOAT format. Then he mentioned a small locals that's happening next week so I decided to make a deck of my own. I decided on a hero deck since I like the heroes, but the only really playable one in the format is Thunder Giant

So I ended up with a Thunder Giant/ Fusion Gate return deck. I'm just looking for some advice on what cards to swap out. Mainly looking at the 3rd fusion gate and 2nd return. I want to keep soul release and des kangaroo since they would be cool to make work but i'd side them out for a 2nd NoC and Tribe most likely.

I dont have much experience actually playing the proper game so my side deck might be terrible, but I do know chaos and warriors are good. Thanks so much and it's cool to see the older versions of the game still being played.

What 3 cards would improve GOAT Format without breaking it?

My personal 3 picks are:
- Destiny HERO Plasma - (Would be cool to run with Jinzo and Spell Canceller)
- Cyber Dragon - (Gives players who go Second a advantage they need)
- Waking the Dragon - (makes the opponent think twice before they remove your backrow)

So yeah what are your 3 picks?
You can choose any 3 cards (but they have to be the same card type, so that means no Synchro, Xyz, pendulum or Link monsters)

final attack order work like this example ?

i was playing yugioh tag force nd i noticed this interaction with final attack order.

i wanted to know because i saw a potential for some OTKs but i dont inow if it apply in goat format or work diferent in that format .

u/Beneficial-Reach-533 — 4 days ago

Is this an absolute noob take or would goat format be kinda better without BLS and trinity? Maybe sorc at 1? This post is inspired by my last match where all three games were won by the player going first and hitting charity into delinquent duo etc.

Causal GOAT Format Deck Suggestions

I made these GOAT Format legal decks for causal play with friends.

I have space for two more decks, in my storage box.

Any suggestions on what decks two decks I could make?

I don’t want to make anything that’s meta or too strong. I’ve tried to make all the decks a similar power level, so I’ve made sub-optimised versions of some, like the warrior deck, so they’re all of a similar power level.

The decks I currently have are:

Warrior
Spellcaster
Dragon
Machine
Zombie
Fiend
Fire
Water
Beast/Beast-Warrior
Fairy
Rock
Insect
Thunder
Dinosaur

Let me know of any suggestions for two other decks to build!

Thanks

Dust Aggro - a spin on Earth Aggro

I always found Dark Dust Spirit to be incredibly strong when built correctly around, as he basically is a reusable Dark Hole.

I played against a friend the other day who used a meme dinosaur deck and cleaned my board by special summoning 2 Gilasaurus and then wiping my whole board (including my special summoned monsters) with Ultimate Tyranno.

That was the tech I needed for Dark Dust Spirit. He doesn't care about Gilasaurus detriment, as he wipes the board regardless. And as both of them are Earth monsters this deck idea was born. It's a spin on Earth Aggro with a small Dark Dust Spirit engine jammed into it.

Dark Dust Spirit has two distinctive advantages over Zaborg, his biggest competition. He doesn't need a monster on your opponenets side to be used in combination with Brain Control and he can basically generate a +4 advantage at best. The fact he is reusable is both a pro and contra. This deck specializes on generating tributes for Spirit yes, but you still need to sacrifice a monster each time you want to use him.

The rest of the deck is basically an Earth aggro deck. Gigantes still is the main draw for this deck, being a special summonable 1900 beatstick that can potentially clear backrow as well. Goblins and Assailants are your beaters, Giant Rat replaces itself and searches for utility monsters such as Lily, Exiled and LV2, while Breaker, Lady and Tribe are just there for their amazing effects. Spells and Traps are standard as well except for 3x Brain Control. It just combines so well with Dark Dust Spirit. These combined with 2x Gilasaurus, 2x Giant Rat and 3x Gigantes make it incredibly easy to turbo him out and keep your tributes for him refreshed.

I would've liked to include more traps, but there simply is no room. Thats why I even thought about removing Dust Tornado and Torrential Tribute for 2x Royal Decree. Might need to playtest it though.

What are your thoughts?

Edit: I extensively playtested the deck and came to the conclusion, that some cards are pretty redundant in here. Tribe, TT and Smashing are useless when the deck is already focused on getting out Spirit. I would cut them all and include one Giant trunade and either a few trap dustshoot or remove dust tornado as well and play 2x Royal decree. The decree route worked remarkably well when testing it.

In short:

-1x Tribe, -1x Smashing Ground, -1x Dust Tornado, -1x Torrential Tribute

+1x Giant Trunade, +2 Royal Decree, +1 Flex Spot, maybe BoM

Chaos control side patterns

Hey guys! I found this really strong Chaos Control list. I wanted to ask for your thoughts on side patterns against meta decks, because I'm struggling to figure out what to put in or take out when going first or second. Thanks a lot!

what i think about goat format

im starting to realize this game isnt about countering everything to be number one but instead to just do what you do best and letting your weaknesses be. you cant block em all but if you focus on one thing well i guess youre a one trick pony but thats how it should be. burning is a one trick pony stein is a one trick pony and it should be that way. the match ups you get that are like 60% chance losing should be 100% losing. dont do anything about your weaknesses. its nothing but a distraction. just focus on one thing and support it as much as possible. winning is about being faster, not slowing down your opponent. tell me what you think about goat format.

A burn deck using these cards?

3 copies of scapegoat are 12 tokens

Each token with mass driver are 400 damage

12 tokens = 4800 damage

Each 400 damafe of mass driver are 300 damage with Dark room of nightmares

12 tokens = 3600 damage

4800+3600= 8400 burn damage

Using it in a burn stun deck with other burn and stun cards could work ?

Obviusly metamorfosis migh work to stun Game using one thousand eyes with tokens and trio ojama tokens to lock oponente field and maybe ring of destructión to finish him
