This deck was created for the said tournament, where heavy Chaos and Goat Control meta was expected. I am including it here because I think it is interesting. Probably the least known build in this article, because it was only played by my team in the Colosseum tourney hosted by Luxury gaming.

Spies can often minus vs Torrential Tribute when you try to Tsuku-loop or tribute them or just advance the gamestate. Spy package often includes Guard, which is not very good stand-alone card. Spy without a doubt shines in Aggro heavy meta.Ĭons: Spy does not do so well in Chaos Control / Chaos Turbo heavy meta, because those decks have a handy out to it It requires some good thought when incorporating Spy in your deck, since it will mess up standard Detox ratios for level 1's / LIGHT's if you cut Merchants for it. Other notable example is SBE, who is also trying to enter the complex gamestates with his deck with some questionable tech-choices that work better in those gamestates (Lightning Vortex, Jinzo…). Pros: Spy changes a lot of how the GC deck plays, mainly it encourages complex gamestates by slowing the game down, so you should probably do this only when you clearly know why – just like Soul knew. His deck had some other interesting choices as well, such as playing 3 copies of Magician of Faith – I encourage you to check this list out on. If my information is correct, he built his deck to answer the growing Chaos Recruiter meta – Spies are really devastating answer for the Chaos Recruiter decks. The most famous version of this deck is Soul's build, called after the player Soul who used this list in the DGZ warring. »Spy Goat« is usually any GC deck that usest he GK Spy + Guard engine in the main deck, usually instead of Mercant. 3rd Scapegoat in the main deck is unusual to say the least and it may caught some opponent off guard, especially in the late game when 2 Scapegoats are already in the graveyard and he goes for Heavy Storm play for the kill.Ĭons: Reaper does not have a great synergy with the rest of the deck: you can't Tsuku loop him, Meta him, or profitably Tribute him for AKP. Reaper also creates an interesting conflict between playing around Breaker and playing around Reaper. Pros: most pros as far as I can see are mostly due to the surprise factor – Reaper changes the early game dynamics where people usually feel relatively safe by just passing – Reaper punishes that. To compensate for this loss of level 1 monster, one Sakuretsu is cut and 3rd Scapegoat is added. The difference in this list is addition of Spirit Reaper instead of one Merchant. This one is called the Boston build because it was used by Kris Perovic in SJC Boston with a slight change since nowadays we play Exarionless. Metamorphosis should be run at 3, end of discussion. Scapegoats, Metas: 3 + 2 ratio is the most common one, because our monster line-up takes care of level 1 accessibility the deck can run 2 Scapegoats. Dust Tornados are also really important to help the important plays go trough, such as AKP pushes, but their big role is also to answer opposing Snatch and revivals. They are also very good vs mirror match and aggro. Sakuretsus are important part of the deck because they help our flips survive in order to establish Tsuku-loop or Tribute Summon AKP. Sakuretsu and Dust Tornado: 2 of each is the most standard ratio. DDWL is an important card because it is also NoC bait. DDWL and Asura are versatile and can be played in such manner that they are immune to opposing Chaos Sorcerers.

Dekoichis aren't level one and Dark Mimics are DARK, this is why this build chooses to play Merchants (as do most other builds).Īsura and DDWL: most Goat Control decks play some additional beaters other than AKPs and Breaker, because it is important to be consistently able to out opposing sets. Merchants: Merchants are played because they are LIGHT level 1's, good both for BLS and Metamorphosis fodder and of course establishing Tsukuyomi loops. Please check out this list if you do not know it by heart already :P I will reference every other build in the context of how it differs from this one, because I believe this one is the most flexible and coherent. Goat Control build popularized by the team of the same name during the transition to Exarion-less Goat Format (the correct format).
