![]() ![]() This is problematic, especially in the mirror match. But regardless, it's still a deck that has a hard time in the early game, and tends to be the one that has to drop Chaos Sorcerer first. This is a major play with this deck, and can lead to runaway advantage plays that fill the grave and allow Chaos to simply win immediately. Thunder Dragon Chaos tends to play Card Destruction more so than the other two, as it's in a unique position to take advantage of it. This variant tends to have to play even more passively in the early game, waiting for the opponent to commit more heavily in order to maximize Chaos Sorcerer plays. While this is sort of a problem across all Chaos Control variants, it's especially noticeable with Thunder Dragon. The problem with Thunder Dragon is that it's not aggressive, especially in the early game. More importantly, opening a Graceful Charity along a Thunder Dragon is an incredibly strong opening, as Graceful Charity essentially becomes free. ![]() Thunder Dragon's second major advantage is its ability to mitigate opposing Delinquent Duo plays. Thunder Dragon was the go-to because it's an active advantage generator, generating a +1 while also putting a LIGHT monster in the grave to fuel Chaos plays. Those focused on advantage generation first and foremost if they could out-resource Goat Control, they stood a good a good chance of winning. Thunder Dragon Chaos is mostly an extension of the Exarion-era Chaos Turbo lists. As such, it's important to understand how they differ. These are the community's attempts at mitigating the disadvantages, and the variants of Chaos all play quite differently. ![]() The deck has a hard time answering opposing sets, and also has a hard time against early-game aggression. These arose from the need for stronger early-game plays. Right now, there are three main variants of Goat Format Chaos Control: Thunder Dragon Chaos, Angel Chaos, and Skilled Chaos. It also diminishes Airknight Parshath's ability to generate advantage if playing against Goat Control, which helps the Chaos player maintain numbers on their opponent. Access to Thousand-Eyes Restrict gives the deck the ability to be passive in the early game, and more explosive in the late game. Perhaps the most important advantage of Chaos Control, however, is simply the fact that it plays so much like Goat Control. We'll discuss how the various iterations of the deck try to mitigate this in just a bit. Its passive nature is somewhat of a drawback, actually, which is a big reason why we have the variations of Chaos Control we do. This is an advantage as the deck has to play passively in the early game. The variety of DARK flip monsters helps to mitigate Nobleman of Crossout. Extra monsters help fill the grave quickly. These changes do a number of positives for the deck. Magical Merchant is cut for Dark Mimic LV1. Premature Burial and Call of the Haunted are cut for a third Book of Moon and a Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive. Since the deck wants to replace Airknight Parshath with Chaos Sorcerer, it has to also replace those cards that don't synergize well with Sorcerer. ![]() The name of the game For Chaos Control is advantage generation. This article is going to break down Chaos Control, the different core incarnations of it, and how it's making waves in Goat Format today. Now, a third Goat Format Chaos Control build has started making waves - Skilled Chaos. Thunder Dragon Chaos began to see more play, and then Angel Chaos a bit later. Goat Control remained the deck to beat throughout 20 and, really, until Exarion Universe was effectively removed from the Goat Format card pool. Simply put, Chaos Turbo's first incarnations weren't very good. Goat Format Chaos Control decks came a bit later. But come the Revival Period of Goat Format, in 2012, Chaos Sorcerer started to see more interest, and led to the rise of Chaos Turbo. Back in 2005, "Chaos" often referred to Goat Control, because Goat Control had evolved out of the old "Cookie Cutter Chaos" decks of the day. Chaos decks have come a long way in Goat Format. ![]()
