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.

How Does Relinquished Chaos Work?

Relinquished Chaos accumulates card advantage by summoning copies of Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands and Senju to add more cards to your hand. This puts the opposing player in an awkward spot because if they use a card like Sakuresu Armor to deal with the monster, the trade ends negatively for them. For this reason, Relinquished Chaos doesn’t play Mystical Space Typhoon or Dust Tornado. However, if they don’t deal with Manju or Senju, you can pressure their lifepoints by continuing to attack.

Relinquished Chaos often plays a protective trap lineup to keep Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands and Senju from being attacked over. After you’ve added enough cards from your deck to your hand, you can use Graceful Charity, Card Destruction, or Reload to draw into stronger cards. The end game of the deck is mostly composed of summoning chaos monsters. With Divine Wrath, you can protect them from your opponent’s Thousand-Eyes Restricts, Chaos monsters, or Tribe-Infecting Virus.

Why Relinquished Chaos is Viable

Monsters that add a card from your deck to your hand when summoned, have been powerful throughout the history of Yu-Gi-Oh! Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands and Senju were the less powerful predecessors of gadgets and Elemental Hero Stratos. Being able to play powerful cards like Divine Wrath, Raigeki Break, and Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell without discarding an important card gives the deck an edge in particular matchups. Divine Wrath is strong against chaos decks, Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell is deadly against many combo decks, and Raigeki Break is among the most versatile traps in the format.

I've been trying to build a viable Relinquished deck for well over a year and every time I think about it, I just can't get over the sheer amount of resources needed to simply equip your opponents monster. You're either using Manju (which gets ousted pretty easily and is just a dead card on the field most of the time), to get one of the pieces needed and then when you finally summon relinquished, you've just burned a spell card and a tribute.

On top of that, once Reli hits the field, it's going to need a lot of back row support otherwise it rarely lasts more than 2 turns.

What are your thoughts on trying to make this deck more viable? I notice you only run 1 of the spell cards and 2 relinquished but you run 6 searchers. What do you do with the Senju and Manju's once they hit the field?

(NOTE: I'm NOT an actual player, but I am interested on the Goat Format and have been thinking some stuff here and there

From my understanding, the point of Relinquished Chaos is to:
1) Deck thin by getting the ritual monster and spell with either Manju and Senju.
2) Get Manju or Senju defended to stall (so you can draw the cards you need), or be destroyed to serve as light-fodder for Chaos monster summon.
3) NOT summon Relnquished but instead let it (and the ritual spell) serve as discard fodder for spells/traps that require a discard. Subsequently, the discarded Relinquish also serves as dark-fodder for Chaos monster summon.
4) Mostly use the Chaos monsters for attacks and board control.
5) Senju and Manju can be discard fodder if you already have the ritual monster and spells in the GY.
6) Senju and Manju aren't necessarily dead in the hand either (unless you are already in a disadvantageous position, which in that case, IT IS DEAD).

Now for my own thoughts on the deck profile:
- Maybe adjust the ratios of Senju and Manju with the amount of the ritual spell and monster card? I think 3 of Senju and Manju is a bit much just to get three OTHER cards out of the deck.
Maybe make them two and add another ritual spell? (So its 2 Manju, Senju, Illusion Rit, Relin)
Alternatively, you can just reduce Manju and Senju to two then add other staple cards in the deck?(Solemn Judgement, D.D Warrior Lady, etc).
- Personally don't know how to specifically improve this other than put more staple cards and maybe more strong 4star monsters (if we're going to reduce the Manju/Senju count).

As for the guy I'm replying to (and to anyone else who's probably reading this who wants a Relinquished deck), either try this our or I suggest trying another Relinquished deck like Relinquished Control. With Rel.Control you can take the risk and not run the ritual. Just get three 1k-Eyes and hope to god you have Goats on the field, and Metamorph and Tsukoyomi in the hand but I think this just becomes standard Goat Control instead so...
