that is the dumbest fucking ruling ive ever heard i love goat format i play it every day but fuck does it have some bullshit rulings dont get me started on ignition effects

You're not alone in that!

Rulings at the time made it kind of worthless, which is why it didn't see any play when it originally came out. With rulings at the time it had to be already flipped up to negate any summons. You couldn't flip it up in response to a summon to negate it. The card became much better after they changed that ruling

Spam goats

Love the Strike Ninja idea, definitely want to try that out! Big fan of Mystic Plasma Zone, too, have been feeling out whether it would be too symmetrical. Matter Transporter doesn't cost life, but does potentially leave you open to swings, I could see either working.

Generally I was able to anticipate the big play and flip it while they were setting up, but yeah that's definitely a big part of piloting this.

This close to throwing in Mefist the Infernal General

They do still have to answer the oppression and potentially deal with Kycoo. If they don't have it immediately, that's a lot of time for us to set up more counterplays

@@LateStageYGO and the setting flips every turn isn’t a problem? This exact deck but with skill drain over oppression (or maybe in addition) seems a lot scarier.

That's a reasonable assessment, I do reach for those skill drains in the side a lot

Might have to be our next profile lol

And it works to this day!

Awesome, thank you! I didn't go over the whole side deck, just the stuff I thought was unique or necessary - I'd encourage everyone to fill out the rest according to their local meta!

Very simple reason: don't own copies lol. Others in my meta run them and I might run them if I had them already, but this stack is still performing highly as-is

@@LateStageYGO Yep, that makes sense. I run Convert Contact (Neo-Spacian version of Allure of Darkness) instead of Duo, as a placeholder. Its art kind of reminds of what Duo does

@@LateStageYGO also, I'm looking forward to try this deck out on DB, it looks brilliant

@@filiplucic Would be very curious to know how it goes and if Royal Command or any other substitutions increase the effectiveness for ya!

@@LateStageYGO I'll try it out during weekend :)

You just creature swap your newdoria and tomato and attack into them so you’re guaranteed value

Always trust your gut ;)

Great data, thanks for reporting back! The element of surprise is certainly a huge factor. And agree, sometimes you want all the floodgates, sometimes they slow you down, and one thing I enjoy is how smoothly you can transifgure between games in a match

It's me again with another report, lately I've been playing more and now I could say that I have a 30% winrate at most, I had a 20 loose-streak yesterday so I'm seriously considering on making some big changes or dropping the deck entirely. I recognize that sometimes it's because I bricked or I miss-played Burn decks in general are the worst enemy of this deck, unless you draw immediately the side deck, gravity bind it's a kick in the balls Chaos turbo/dimension gate/earth aggro it depends a lot what I draw, sometimes the floodgates stop them completely, other times I draw them too late. Rouge decks: the sheer amount of variety that is around dueling book it's impressive, it's difficult to side deck when you are the one affected by the surprise factor, even one match I lost against "hino-kagu-tsuchi turbo" After I made the previous comment, I added strike ninja and lightning vortex sidding out 1 ha des and necrofear because most of the time that I could summon necrofear I had oppression on field. It's still happening a lot that my opponents don't know that you CANNOT use oppression to negate germ or tomato Even though I don't regret the statement that I had fun, that humongous bad luck streak seriously demotivated me to keep trying that much more this deck. I hope that someone else try this deck, fine tunning it and to let us know if that happen :D

@@El.coresss Once again, bravo on the detailed analysis here! Sorry it wasn't working out for you - it seems like retro formats have picked up a lot of steam over the past year since we made this vid and people's creativity has really shaken up Goat. Burn decks have definitely gotten a lot more consistent as people have gotten more familiar with the play patterns of other common decks. All decks are living and in flux and that's part of the fun!

@@LateStageYGO I completely agree with you, that's part of the fun, I'm seriously considering building this deck on paper whenever my local store starts to play some retro formats. Thank you so much for replying and for your cheerings 😁😁

@@El.coresss Glad you're getting some in-person locals! Really prefer that to DB myself, there's a whole dimension of information that you get irl

Depends how nice you are to it

I guess because Duo cost 1000 and isn't that great of a top deck. But yeah
