The Nano's Deck Profile: Cat Control

9/6/2020

16 Comments

 
During this year, I spent a good amount of time working on deckbuilding, trying to go in-depth on Goat Format, and trying out different strategies and approaches to these strategies.I played a bunch of them with some success, and I often get asked how I manage to do so well with non meta decks.

Well, the secret isn't some ultra skill, but mainly good deck building and making good meta game choices. I'm going to post decks I consider good to be played in the current format, and provide material to explain how they work. In the articles that follow, I will provide videos of game play, interactions with different match-ups and a more in-depth guide to the decks themselves.

armed samurai ben kei goat format

What is Ben Kei OTK?

Ben Kei OTK is a one-turn-kill Goat Format deck which revolves Armed Samurai - Ben Kei’s effect by combining it with a bunch of equip spells to attack for lethal damage. It plays Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu and Reinforcement of the Army to search its combo pieces or utility cards like Snatch Steal or Exiled Force. Big Bang Shot is the most important equip card in the deck, because it allows Armed Samurai - Ben Kei (or Asura Priest) to OTK through a field of Scapegoat tokens. Ben Kei OTK is slower than the average combo deck in Goat Format, so it will typically play some stall cards to buy time to accumulate the key combo pieces for the OTK.

emissary of the afterlife goat format

What is Emissary Aggro?

​Emissary Aggro is a new-age Goat Format deck which relies on 3 copies of Emissary of the Afterlife as a way of pushing for damage and gaining card advantage. It plays 2 copies of Sonic Duck to search with Emissary of the Afterlife, which has the highest attack stat of any level 3 or lower monster in the format. It also typically plays Twin-Headed Behemoth and Sangan, which also serve a similar role to Emissary of the Afterlife by being resilient attackers. As support the deck plays Skill Drain, which does not shutdown most of the deck’s monsters. Otherwise, it plays a typical aggressive trap lineup with Solemn Judgment, Trap Dustshoot, and Sakuretsu Armor.

thestalos the firestorm monarch goat format

What is Monarch?

​Monarch (sometimes also referred to as "Soul Control") is a Yu-Gi-Oh! Goat Format deck distinguished by its use of monarch tribute monsters: Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch, Mobius the Frost Monarch, Zaborg the Thunder Monarch, and/or Granmarg the Rock Monarch. There are many styles of Monarch decks, varying in terms of the number of tribute monsters and also how aggressive the deck is. The most notable Monarch support cards are Soul Exchange (hence the name "Soul Control") and Brain Control, but Creature Swap, Enemy Controller, and Metamorphosis can also make for a good tribute fodder with appropriate deckbuilding.

goat format dimension fusion turbo

What is Dimension Fusion Turbo?

​Dimension Fusion Turbo (often simply known as “DFT” or sometimes called “Dimension Fusion Chaos”) is a Yu-Gi-Oh! Goat Format deck that bridges the gap between Thunder Dragon Chaos and Reasoning Gate Combo. Like Reasoning Gate Combo, the deck can dish out big damage with Dimension Fusion. However, like Thunder Dragon Chaos, it plays a large volume of solid stand-alone monsters that serve as the engine behind the deck. It uses a variety of light and dark monsters to load the graveyard for Chaos Sorcerer or Bazoo the Soul-Eater, and then brings them all back with Dimension Fusion later to OTK the opponent.

Relinquished Chaos

Relinquished Goat Format

What is Relinquished Chaos?

Relinquished Chaos is a Yu-Gi-Oh! Goat Format deck that uses Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands and Senju of the Thousand Hands to add copies of Relinquished and Black Illusion Ritual to the hand. While it’s possible to summon Relinquished, the ritual cards are largely used as discard fodder for cards like Graceful Charity, Card Destruction, and traps like Divine Wrath/Raigeki Break. Since Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands is a light and Relinquished is a dark, the engine supports Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning and Chaos Sorcerer quite well, so they are a natural inclusion. Relinquished Chaos is a control deck at heart.
