The Goat Format World Championship qualifier tournament has begun! Thirty-six contestants ​battle it out for a chance at the World Championship (and the awesome championship belt) later this year! One such warrior is community staple TheNano. Known for his creative deck building, today Nano is proving once again why his name is synonymous with innovation. 

From Ra 33-40, Obelisk 3 and the first half of Obelisk 4, we have compiled a data breakdown of which decks have been represented and how successful those decks have been during that month. Chaos Turbo easily had the most representation, being played 20 out of 48 times. The next biggest group was Warriors at 13 total decks, split between six Chaos variants and seven pure Warrior. Five Chaos Control and Reasoning Gate Turbo decks were seen, with the rest of the field consisting of one each of: Goat Control, Soul Control, Last Turn, Empty Jar, Bazoo Return, Zombie and Chaos Flip Control. Chaos Turbo had a combined record of 32-29 over this period, while only the Warrior variants and Reasoning Gate Turbo decks had above .500 records.

Let's examine how the Goat Format metagame is developing coming out the biggest GFC thus far!

Today's 3v3 event decimated expectations in both turnout and fun! We've had a large number of players and teams express just how much enjoyment they got out of the day. While these tournaments are certainly made better when you're having fun, in the end, most players also come to win. So, what sorts of teams were able to top 153 players and become the best 3v3 duelists of the day? Read on to find out! 

51 teams. 153 duelists. The dust has settled, and today we've crowned three new Goat Format Champions. Check out their decklists here!

Soul Control has been a staple of the format since Evan Vargas piloted the deck to a top four finish at SJC Los Angeles in 2005. While the core strategy and principles have stayed the same, the deck has certainly evolved over the years. Smoker and his team may have just added to these changes, potentially pushing the deck to new heights with their innovative and exciting list!

Beastdown decks have long been a staple in Goat Format. The piercing power of Enraged Battle Ox and the oppressive summoning restrictions set by King Tiger Wanghu have ruined the day of many Scapegoat players. These powerful and agressive cards seem to have found their home in the hands of Jeix today, who has (with the rest of his team) currently fought to a 3-1 record in our 3v3 event!
