Cybernetic Revolution (CRV) in Goat Format

4/26/2019

2 Comments

 
When we're talking about how to play a Yu-Gi-Oh! format that's over 14 years old, there are naturally a lot of questions that come up. One of them is whether or not Cybernetic Revolution (CRV) should be allowed as part of Goat Format. We will explain why the Goat Format community has chosen to play without Cybernetic Revolution (CRV) in its card pool.

Light Monsters in Goat Format

4/23/2019

3 Comments

 
​In Goat Format, playable light monsters are significantly less plentiful than dark monsters are. Chaos decks are one of the main pillars of Yu-Gi-Oh!’s Goat Format, and one of the challenges involved in constructing a chaos deck is finding enough reliable sources of light monsters to fill your graveyard for Chaos Sorcerer. Here is a quick guide to all of the light monsters in the format that are considered fit for competitive play. They are roughly sorted from most to least popular. We excluded Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning from the list, as it is itself a chaos monster.

State of GoatFormat.com: 6 Months In

4/20/2019

0 Comments

 
GoatFormat.com's first post was on 10/7/2018, which means that it's been about 6 months since we started the difficult task of building the first website that was comprehensively dedicated to Goat Format Yu-Gi-Oh! One of my biggest personal values is honesty, and transparency is closely linked with honesty. Hence, I hope to make one of these "State of GoatFormat.com" posts about every 6 months to address our challenges and our successes in order to show the community the path that we are headed on for the future. Read on for some cool metrics, insight into our thought process, and plans for the future. Beware: This is a long read.

FLC8 1st Place Tournament Report: Noelle Yves

4/18/2019

1 Comment

 
​I suppose it all started with ACP launching GoatFormat.com, the main feature of which was a ranked ladder for Goat Format that didn’t exist on DuelingBook.com’s own functionality. Fast forwarding back to recent months, after playing standard Goat Control for a while, I guess I got bored and decided to make my own deck. I had seen that Jay had success with a Reasoning Gate Combo deck but, with knowledge of various combo decks from my years playing current format, I was pretty convinced that a lot of the cards he played just shouldn’t even be in the deck.

Goat Control vs Anti-Meta Warriors Sidedeck Strategy

4/16/2019

0 Comments

 
​As a Goat Control player, you cannot rely on achieving a high winrate by winning control mirrors alone. Anti-Meta Warriors, as popularized by Yu-Gi-Oh! players like Calvin Tahan and spankthemonkey, will not be leaving the meta anytime soon and is built to attack Goat Control specifically. One of our most important tools in this matchup will be the sidedeck, which is the focus of this article.

Survey: $900 Per Year Tournament Proposal

4/12/2019

1 Comment

 
We always have to make sure that we're doing right by the Goat Format community, which is why we open up our big ideas for feedback before they're implemented. Please read our proposal and give us your thoughts.

During our last survey, the main feedback that we got was that players wanted a free and no-strings-attached way to play in Goat Format tournaments that awarded money to the top finisher. After that, we ran a free $20 tournament as an experiment to see how players would like it. The feedback that we got was quite positive. In fact, there were no complaints about how the tournament was run.

In order to be able to grow the Goat Format community while not going broke ourselves, we'd like to alternate each month between a free tournament, followed by one only available to donors via Patreon. There will, however, be alternate ways to qualify for the big Patreon tournament. Read on for more details and the survey.

berserk gorilla goat format

What is Beastdown?

​Beastdown, often known as “Zoo”, is a Yu-Gi-Oh! Goat Format deck that is distinguished by its aggressive beast and beast-warrior monsters: 3 Berserk Gorilla and 2-3 Enraged Battle Ox in particular. Enraged Battle Ox can give piercing to the deck's other beast monsters, possibly including King Tiger Wanghu, Giant Rat, and Bazoo the Soul Eater. Beastdown plays a heavy trap lineup to bolster its aggression that often includes Trap Dustshoot. There are a few different directions that the deck can be taken, but all of them focus on aggression first and foremost.
