| Hey everybody! So as many of you know, I've taken a break from the YGO metagame for a long time now in favor of going back to the past formats of my childhood. Specifically, the format of April 2005, otherwise known as Goat Format! If you don't know what Goat Format or Goat Control is, check out these links: - http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/315239-the-official-april-2005-goat-format-thread/- http://articles.alterealitygames.com/why-you-should-play-goat-format/And I must say, I really love it; it really is one of the most skillful formats I've seen in YGO, and I like it when duels take a while and don't just end in 3 or less turns. Here are some other tidbits about Goat Format that you may not have known: - The last legal booster set for the Goat Format scene is The Lost Millenium, which means Aussa, Eria, Hiita, Wynn, and Elemental Mistress Doriado are all playable cards you can use!
- The very first Nintendo DS game, Nightmare Troubadour, was made during Goat Format, and it follows that banlist too. It was also the last YGO video game to feature the cast of the original Yu-Gi-Oh!.
Here I'll be posting the new deck I made irl to play under this format (the one I actually had in 2005 was nothing like this, lol). If anyone wants to play against it, make sure you use the same banlist as I am! - Spoiler:

I also made a deck using the deadly combo of Doriado and Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan for this format, just for fun (don't own this irl though). - Spoiler:
Monsters: 2x Elemental Mistress Doriado 2x Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands 3x Thunder Dragon 2x Night Assailant 1x Sangan 1x Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning 1x Chaos Sorceror 1x Magician of Faith 1x Sinister Serpent 1x Mask of Darkness 1x Cyber Jar 1x Injection Fairy Lily 1x Breaker the Magical Warrior 1x Tribe-Infecting Virus

Another format I really liked was the format AFTER this one, October 2005. Many of the power cards, like Pot of Greed, BLS, and Ring of Destruction, got banned on this list, and the key cards of the Goat Control deck were all limited to 1. Yet despite this, the game still remained just as skill-based as the previous format, and in my opinion it became even more creative and allowed for more experimentation and originality in decks. From my research, this format extends up until the booster Shadow of Infinity, which means that EEN, and all the Familiar-Possessed forms, are legal too! Here are two decks I built irl recently for this format. The first one is a deck revolving around Tribute monsters and uses a combo of Cyber Dragons and Zombies as Tribute fodder. - Spoiler:
Monsters: 3x Cyber Dragon 3x Pyramid Turtle 2x Spirit Reaper 1x Sangan 1x Jinzo 1x Dark Ruler Ha Des 1x Mobius the Frost Monarch 1x Guardian Sphinx 1x Chaos Sorceror 1x Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive 1x Kaiser Glider 1x Twin-Headed Behemoth 1x Dark Magician of Chaos 1x Ryu Kokki 1x Breaker the Magical Warrior
Spells: 2x Book of Life 2x Pot of Avarice 1x Mystical Space Typhoon 1x Nobleman of Crossout 1x Premature Burial 1x Snatch Steal 1x Brain Control 1x Smashing Ground 1x Monster Gate 1x Last Will 1x Book of Moon 1x Soul Exchange 1x Heavy Storm
Traps: 1x Bottomless Trap Hole 1x Royal Decree 1x Torrential Tribute 1x Dust Tornado 1x Magic Cylinder 1x Call of the Haunted
Extra: None
The second deck I built is a Bazoo Return deck with a bit of a Warrior engine mixed in. It's a lot of fun. - Spoiler:
Monsters: 3x Bazoo the Soul Eater 2x Gravekeeper's Spy 2x Cyber Dragon 1x Chaos Sorceror 1x D.D. Warrior Lady 1x D.D. Assailant 1x Night Assailant 1x Don Zaloog 1x Morphing Jar 1x Sangan 1x Mystic Swordsman Lv2 1x Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World 1x Greenkappa 1x Mask of Darkness 1x Cyber Jar 1x Exiled Force
Spells: 2x Reinforcement of the Army 1x Premature Burial 1x Snatch Steal 1x Card Destruction 1x Soul Release 1x Dark Hole 1x Dimension Fusion 1x Megamorph 1x Nobleman of Crossout 1x Brain Control 1x Book of Moon 1x Mystical Space Typhoon 1x Heavy Storm
Traps: 3x Return from the Different Dimension 1x Solemn Judgment 1x Bottomless Trap Hole 1x Dust Tornado 1x Magic Drain
Extra: None
Well that's it for my decks, for now. I'm opening this thread up for any general discussion about any past formats such as Goat Format, Yata Control, Perfect Circle, or anything up until Tele-DAD and Synchros, when the game as we knew it changed forever. Or if ya just want to comment on one of my decks, that's fine too XD | |
