Format Library is bringing back their long running Format Library Championship tournament series. It's a live Goat Format Format tournament, and it's happening this Saturday and 1 PM EST. For all of the details, visit: ​https://formatlibrary.weebly.com/flc_registration.html

Library FTK is a Yu-Gi-Oh! Goat Format deck that draws its entire deck in a single turn using one of its 3 copies of Royal Magical Library. It does this by continually replaying continuous spells with (3 copies of) Giant Trunade. These continuous spells include but are not limited to 3 Convulsion of Nature and 3 Archfiend’s Oath. The deck is also often known as "Tundo FTK", named after the deck's creator, Vincent Tundo.

Riddle me this: If you could boost your winrate by 10%, but it would cause some of your peers to think that you were worse at the game, would you do it? Given that conscious decision, I think nearly every competitive player would say, “Hell yeah I would.” And yet, everyday I see many competitive players making the unconscious decision to prioritize looking good to their peers over being good.

Author's note: One of the main things that people have consistently asked us for is more deck guides. This is the first entry in our "Rogue Deck Spotlight", where we give you a basic intro to decks that are viable, but also out of the meta. We plan to do more deck guides soon.

Gravekeepers is a Yu-Gi-Oh! Goat Format deck distinguished by its 3 Necrovalley and a variety of Gravekeeper monsters. These monsters include 3 Gravekeeper's Spy, 1-3 Gravekeeper's Guard, 1-3 Gravekeeper's Spearsoldier, and 1-3 Gravekeeper's Assailant. As support, they play 1-3 Terraforming to search out Necrovalley and a larger than average trap lineup with 3 Solemn Judgments.

One of the great things about the Yu-Gi-Oh! Goat Format is its low barrier to entry. Much of the Goat Format Community is online, where every card is free. If you are fortunate enough to be a part of a real-life Goat Format community, it's not too much worse. Decks can consistently be obtained for less than $100, and with a static card pool and banlist you don't have to worry about constantly having to buy new cards to keep up. However, this is a double-edged sword. A low barrier to entry also means a low barrier to exit. You may leave the format at any time without feeling very "pot committed."
