My $3,000 GOAT Format Deck Needs HELP (Insane Old Cards)

Today I'm showing you my expensive goat format deck and we're looking at what I need to improve. >> What's up guys? We are back with another update on my goat format list which if you watched the last time I did this goat format deck kind of video. I think it was about a year ago. I had lost my goat deck in a move and then I found it. Well then I changed it over to the warrior deck cuz it's actually my favorite goat format deck. Well, just recently I realized I hadn't fully maxed it out. So, we'll get into that in just a second. But, we're doing a massive giveaway for today's video. I'm giving away all of my old cards that I upgraded in this video and there are three of them. So, they're going to be given away and you're going to have to watch the video to see what's being given away. So, hit the like button, subscribe, and let me know down below your thoughts about Go Format. Have you played it? Did you play it back then? And do you have a deck right now?

You even get to see uh the hair sprouting out of his head. But tonight's whatnot stream will be at 3. It's going to be various packs, items.

I'm going to have some singles that you guys might like. There is a ton of mega giveaways happening on today's Whatnot stream and next week's whatnot stream. So, follow me over there, bookmark everything. Let's get into today's video, which is this all. I mean, this deck box is so cool. I had to pick this up. I think it's actually for Magic the Gathering because of The Hobbit coming out and everything, but I love Lord of the Rings and this was so cool. I haven't had a chance to open any of the By the way, I don't like the style. It's one of these ones where you kind of have to aggressively open it and I think it gets a little better the older it gets, but it's kind of hard to open if you're not used to this style of deck. So, we did eventually get it open and we didn't throw the cards everywhere, but it is a little scary to open up. So, we're going to take a look at what I currently have and we're going to see what I need to upgrade. Another nice thing about the warrior deck is you don't need an extra deck. You can just kind of roll with it. You can use this and that's all you need. Okay, let's start to look at these. So, first of all, we have a first edition blackluster soldier envoy at the beginning. I would like all my cards to be lightly played at least. Uh, near mint's okay as well, but I mean, I don't really want it to be mint because then you want to grade it. We're going to take a look at each of these cards and see what I need to upgrade conditionwise as well, cuz if it's like heavy play, I'd like to to upgrade it. And we're also going to get a really clean look at the cards and how nice they are. So, this one actually has a bend on the corner, so this could be upgraded. BLS uh first edition IOC. The rest of the cards pretty good. It actually probably is fine. I mean, I would like maybe a little bit better condition, but for now, I think this does the job. Overall, pretty good. It looks fantastic in a sleeve. It's got a nice hollow to it. It's not too scratched up or anything. I think this is a fine copy to play in my deck. And honestly, look at this hollow. This new angle of the camera, it really is changing everything. It's making it look so much better. So, that BLS looks fantastic. I also do have a few upgrades that are here already, and we're going to be mentioning those later in the video. Here's the one Chaos Sorcerer. I think some people do play two Chaos Sorcerer. I have a second uh turbo. I actually have two more of the turbo packs. So, if I wanted to, I could play two or three, but I don't play a ton of light, I guess. Well, I do play some lights. I just kind of want to keep it more on the warrior side than the chaos side. That is a nice looking hollow turbo pack 2 ultra rare. This card looks pretty good. There's sort of a something going on right there. Almost like a bent corner. There's whitening on the bottom, but this is stuff that doesn't really matter for a card that's being played. And that's the beauty of actually playing with your cards, right? And that's what's so much fun about collecting cards in goat format, Edison format, or any other format you enjoy is you get to collect the card, but then you actually get to use the card, which is one of the most fun things, buying a really cool high rarity card and playing with it as well. Or maybe just any common card that makes it fun as well. But making it a high rarity card, then you don't really have to worry about if the centering's perfect or if you know uh it's a near mint 10, you know, or near mint to I guess mint 10 near what do they call that? PSA gem meant 10 PCG prestige, you know, whatever it is. You don't really have to worry about that too much. And I actually really like not double sleeving, but uh it just so much safer for the cards and you really don't want to destroy your cards if you don't have to. Then I have a Blade Knight Seeker rare. This is one of the things that needs to be upgraded. I need three of the error. So, the error would have no secret rare. It would look like an ultra on the foil or a super and then it would have the silvery name there. So, actually, funny enough, this is where our first upgrade comes in. I only have one of the three errors. I need three. I actually sold one right before I ended up doing this. This card's actually not in the best shape. So, this is the perfect one to replace. And here's where it's time to shout out. Tristan S hit me up, saw that I mentioned I needed some of these cards and was like, "Hey, I got a couple that you need." And one of them was the blade knight. So, actually, now looking, I was thinking I'm not sure if I like the error better than the secret rare, but it's high rarity. Looking at both side by side, I think it's I think it's the error. The error just looks fantastic. Look how good that foil looks. Wow, that actually looks incred. Like this looks good, but it almost has shinier foil like the secret's supposed to be there. That looks actually insane. I've never really noticed how good that blade knight looks. Whoa. Shout out to Tristan. That is an absolutely fantastic card that's going to be going in the deck. As you can see, it's not a mint condition, but honestly, it's definitely I mean, it's by far good enough for a for a deck. I mean, the foil looks amazing. That's what you really care about. That's not the only card Tristan sent as well. There's another card later that we will be replacing. So, the first error card the and another thing about the double sleeve is it really like takes away from the uh the shininess a little bit. So, I'm thinking about get like flipping over and just using one sleeve and just risking it, you know, just for the beauty of the cards. So, here's our next Blade Knight. We're going to take a quick look here. We're not going to spend too much time on all these, but this one looks to be in okay shape. It's got a little edge wear and corner wear, but looks to be good enough. It's got some scuffing. I mean, you really just don't want creases when you're double like in sleeves, especially double sleeving. It's hard to see. And scratches on the foil. Scratches on the foil, creases, stuff like that. That's what you can really tell. So, that one looks fine. I think if it's like really bad, that's where we're going to want to replace it. I think all these have been fine. They haven't really been maybe necessarily lightly played. And also, these need to get replaced anyway, so I don't even know why I'm looking at them cuz I'm going to replace they're the wrong version, so they need to be replaced. And there's another card that we need to replace right here. It's called Mystic Swordsman level two. So, we don't need to look at it too closely. I do kind of want to look at all these just to get the uh the nonsleeved foil in here cuz we're looking at some amazing looking stuff right now. I mean, look at that. It doesn't really pop that much on the ulti. It kind of pops the mystic swordsman out, which is pretty cool. This is actually one of my favorite cards in this. Someone asked me what my favorite card in the goat uh warrior deck was and I thought about for a second because no one had ever asked me that before and my conclusion was this card. I love this effect. I love that you attack a face down in go format where flipping up is so powerful and you completely remove it and it's such a threat with 900 attack. You play this and every time you put this down that you get a groan the other the opponent is like a great Mystic Swords when level two cuz they have to commit a Sakuretsu or Mirror Force and it's like 900 attack. It's like, h why do I have to commit a card to this? But you absolutely have to cuz your Magician of Faith goes or, you know, if you set Sangen, you're okay. But if you set Magician Faith, uh, Night of Asalent, anything like that, you're like, man, I really don't want to lose this flip effect. So, you have to pay a card to actually do it. So, that is I think my favorite card. That's what I decided. So, very cool. Here's the breaker we picked up at Gen Con. It wasn't really in the best condition. You know, it could definitely be improved, but it was good enough. And this breaker is a really cool card. It is a very awesome card. I know a lot of people who played back then, this is their absolute favorite card of all the Yu-Gi-Oh cards out there. And with good reason. It had such a unique effect of adding the spell counter, removing the spell counter to actually do something with it, which is remove back row, which back there was or back then was so valuable. Okay, here's the skill dark. This is the one I picked up at Gen Con as well. And yes, it is in disgusting condition. Uh, actually looking at it now, this doesn't look nearly as bad as I remember. Oh, that's why the back's really bad. Luckily, our friend Tristan. Okay, Tristan, let's check out the skill dark. Uh, I'd imagine it's in better condition than the one we already had. Uh, so we're going to be upgrading it with this one. The centering is atrocious, but as I said, it doesn't matter when you're playing this card. It's actually almost o like miscut, which is pretty cool. Okay, so the back it's got a binder ding and some scuffs, but overall, I mean, this one is like got a lot more bends and is just really beat up. But honestly, looking in the sleeve, this looked okay. So, this is going to be our upgrade, first edition uh of that one we picked up from Gen Con, which is pretty sick. So, there we go. Skill Dark Magician. Beautiful. Awesome card. Okay, there's one more upgrade that we will be doing. So, we will keep an eye out for that one later, but I'm going to speed it up a little bit because there are, you know, 40 cards in a go format deck. though front of this ex off. I think I might have pulled this X off. I think I did pull this. Yeah, that's immaculate. It's literally mint. I said I don't really well don't want to play mint cards, but I am. And when they're double sleeved, you can afford to do it. So, I guess that's why I double sleeve cuz I do actually have some really nice cards in here. I'm remembering that we will see later that I don't really want to mess up too much. So, DD Warrior Lady, I can always go back to and check conditions now so I don't have to keep taking them out of the sleeves by checking this video. Card's in good shape. That's like a lightly played DD Warrior Lady. It's got some scuffs on the back, but it's not bent in any way and looks pretty good. So nice. This is such a powerful card. That's another favorite. I mean, it's a very, very nice card. Tribe Infecting Virus. While not a warrior is so powerful in goat format, super rare from Magicians Forest. Check out that beautiful I mean, just check out that beautiful foiling. And look at all the people like they're getting what they getting changed into like fish or something. Look at the crazy diamond cut on this. Look how small it is there. And then it gets way thicker up there. And it's also offcentered as well. So that's mint. I think I pulled this as well. I pulled this in one of my tragic MFC first box openings which where I lost a ton of money. But you know what you can't buy with money? Happiness. And that's what this has bought me through a lot of go format matches which is awesome. Sasuke ultimate rare first edition. I think I'm only playing one of this guy but this is another favorite of mine. I really like this one out of the soul of the duel list ultimate rare. Look how dark it is. It almost looks like it's in the dark, which I think is intentional because ninjas, you know, attack you from unknown places and like the dark and stuff like that. Really cool. I I think that's a really cool aesthetic for that. And then he really pops out right there with the green. I like the green. Incredible. Back has got the normal soul of duelist scuffs which you're never going to avoid. It's impossible. Then we got some Kaiku. There's more than one of these. Uh, first edition Labyrinth of Nightmare. Very cool. Super rare and incredible foiling. All the foil looks so good on these for the most part. Uh, the card looks incredible. I might have pulled that one, too. These This is a very nice set of cards here. I didn't realize how minty a lot of these cards were. I probably did pull a lot of these uh in a lot of my old school openings. So, I am rocking three of these guys. So, I don't I don't know if I pulled three Kiku. That'd be surprising. I have done a lot of LOL, but for myself, you know, I don't open all of the things for myself anymore. So, that one looks pretty clean. Doesn't look like I pulled it. It does have like a scratch on it, but that could just be like a print line thing. Man, that's a nice looking card. Okay, one more Kaiiku and then we have one more monster, the Donsug after this, which I'm considering taking out. I don't know if it's going to stay in or not. That looks good. Back. Yeah, that's got it seen a few uh scratches, seen a few battles. Uh, it's not bad overall, but it definitely is not a pack pulled one. So, I think I pulled one of those and then possibly two. It definitely didn't pull that one, but it looks still pretty good overall. Like like VP or even near mint. Depends on how harsh you are on back scratching. The uh Donsug, I love this card. This was one of my favorites. Still is one of my favorite cards in the deck. The problem is it's 1400 attack. I want to play a Zombra in here somewhere. So, I'm gonna cut something. I don't know if it'll be Danzaluke or not. I like the ability to just pull out Zombay with Roto when you know they can't defend themselves and just rip a card and just have that be a threat at all times. So maybe I keep this and remove something else. I could like do two Kaiiku, but Kaiku is kind of the anti- chaos thing. So maybe it's just a spell or trap. I don't know. I'll have to look a little harder. But I think I pulled this Donsoo. So we got to keep this guy in. That's that's a guy I pulled at some point out of Franic Guardian. Didn't realize how many of these cards I had pulled and kept. That's insane. That's awesome. That makes it even more awesome to have this deck. Okay, let's get into the spells and traps. I'm sure I pulled some roas. I've opened a lot of LOD in my day. And there's a lot of great cards in LOD, too. Reinforcement of the Army, the real print, not the new Sky Striker crap people try to throw in there. I I do like the the art on that one, but it ain't the OG, which is this guy. What's his name? The marauding captain. Yeah, I was about to say worried Digi Gigrapher because I was thinking of how how much he's in LOD, but that is not the right thing. It is the uh marauding captain, which is also pretty cool. Be fun to throw in the marading captain in here, but I don't think he's going to make it. I do have two of these. I think it's um semi- liimited at this point, so you could do get to play two. And both have been pack pulled by me. I'm on half this deck being pack pulled. That's actually insane. Making this deck even more special to me. I love it. I love it. And it's beautiful looking card as well. I you know one that I have not been using is the uh nobleman of crossout is not packold. I know that um I used an Asian English for a long time. This one's actually a little faded which is pretty cool. We got a slight fade pharaoh serve. Wait. This card's like mint. It has like a little edge wear at the top. But I didn't pull a faded nobleman. I think I would remember that. Right. Oh my. Yeah. I say that I can't remember anything. My memory is so bad. That's a cool nobleman of crossout. I didn't realize that. I remember I finally replaced the Asian English. I wonder if it was with that one. Did I replace the Asian English? This one looks way different. Maybe it's because it's just not faded. It's magic card, so it's not Asian English. Okay, so this one little Edgewear, but yeah, all these cards we've had. I don't really need to replace conditionwise almost anything yet. Everything just looks fantastic. Uh you might wonder also like if I would do like ulti, like BLS ulti from Japan. I actually would maybe do that because it's super cool, but I also like the original first eds as well. They're super This is a faded premature burial, by the way. Interrupting myself. Little nick at the top, but premature burial faded first edition Ferosart. That's insane. That's insane. Not fully faded, but just got a slight fade to it. Definitely does. That's beautiful. Premature burial is such a classic card, especially after you couldn't use Monster Reborn. Here is uh one of our new cards. This card actually was printed after for goat format in 2011 in duelist pack kaiba but I love the ulti first dead pot of greed. I like all the ulti pot of greed but the ulti pot of greed just looks so good. Little bit of a new style card which I usually don't you know like but with this card it actually works really well. So this could be like a first ed or I honestly would probably do DB1 the super rare which is amazing but I really like the ulti. So we're going to stick with the ulti here. It's my only new style card in here. I think it looks good enough. It It can pass. You know, it it's newer style. Oh, I put that in backwards. By the way, if you have any things I'm missing, I will be at Charlotte Collecticon next week. So, you can bring that there and I'll be interested in buying it. Uh, also, you can reach out via Instagram, my email, etc. And see if I have any of the things I'm or if uh you have not see, but I guess tell me you have some of the stuff. First, at Heavy Storm, that looks really nice. Oh, the front looks good. The back does have a couple scuffs, but overall pretty nice condition card. I I remember I kept getting Heavy Storms and they were like two mint. They were literally like PSA 10, so I kept having to grade them and I graded like two two 10 I think before I finally found one. I'm like, "Okay, finally I don't have to grade this one." Okay, that one still in great condition. Here is Quick Panic's favorite card, Snatch Steel. Uh he absolutely loves getting snatched stolen. Wow, this card even There's a feeling to minty cards right out of the pack. And these have it. Like this card feels mint. Literally feels mint. And it is. Uh yeah, I could tell immediately as soon as I pulled it out of the sleeve. And look at that amazing holo. I like the generic boring silver background. I think it does really well with the rainbow background of the two guys. Um there's me. There's Quick Panic. It's very fun. Minty snatch deal. I did not real and put taking it these cards in and out of the sleeves is a good way to mess up the corners. So hopefully this is the last time I have to do it, but it's on video now so I don't have to worry about going back and uh I actually probably would play the ulti mystical space typhoon. I've changed my tune on that. I used to be a no ulti mystical space typhoon person and then I saw one unsleeved in person and also look at that. So I actually need to upgrade this, you know. I'm going to I haven't written anything down. I'm actually using pen and paper like an old man because that's just the way I like to do it. I've been influenced by quick panic too much. I wrote MST- ulti MST. I don't think I really did that right. But yeah, that corner is pretty bad. I would like to replace that. Plus, I want a whole another version. So, I mean, this is an amazing version. MRL first. It's pretty awesome. But that ulti I'm playing in my Edison Edison deck. It's pretty sick. Now, Graceful Charity, this is my least favorite card in the deck. This might sound crazy to you, but if you've watched any of my series where I use Graceful Charity, you know why. Uh, I just hate having to discard good cards. I know most of the time when you're playing Chaos, you actually have to play Graceful Charity because you're putting Lights and Darks in the graveyard and then you're drawing three cards, which is insane. But I always have a bunch of cards that I want and I don't want to discard any of them. So, it just makes a painful choice. Unlike painful choice, this could be a little better condition, I think. Uh, this is a pretty bent corner, but it's not too bad. Uh, but yeah, I I hate using this card. Like, it's not like Piggree where you're just like free stuff. It's like, oh, cards, but now I have to think about what I'm going to discard. I'm definitely going to screw something up. Delinquent Duo. We got Dion and Rhyme right there. Now that actually I really dislike this card, too. Hand ripping is is not the most fun. I could definitely use a better corner on the Oh, wow. Yeah, delinquent duo could be better. Backs. Yeah, delinquent duo could be better. Foil on it looks incredible, though. So, the foil is doing well. I would like to upgrade this to a little bit better condition at some point. All right, here are the uh we're not even going to bother looking at these without sleeves cuz they're commons and I don't have any of the CPS. The only CP I have is in my Edison deck board where it's limited to one. This is at three. And as I said, I don't love hand ripping, but when you're playing in a format with hand ripping, you just you just got to do it. So, if the these and delinquent duo didn't exist, I would be happier. But because they do, I'm running a three because that's kind of what the warrior deck does. It makes sure it knows everything going on. It's not going to get chaos. We got Kaiu, we got trap, dust, shoot. Yeah. So, I need three champion packs. Those are the three biggest cards I need, I think. Then we get into Oh, another set of three. Oh, what? You have a gold series and two MRD? Yeah, a little fade on that one. Yes, I do. And one, the last upgrade I actually have for today's video is going to be this gold series, which is beautiful. It's the Gold Series 2, which is 2009, and I love it. Looks amazing. It's even scratched up, but I love this old gold. I think it looks really good. That's going to be in the giveaway on Whatnot. So, make sure you guys are there. Now, we get into the solemn judgment that I bought live at auction from the Uber trading during his $80,000 whatnot stream. Yes, he sold $80,000 in cards and whatnot one whatnot stream. Absolute legend. And I bought two of them. I bought the solemn judgement. I also bought a Thought Ruler Arch Van. I was just buying Edison and Goat cards. So, uh this one was an easy choice. It's way offc centered, but it is very nice condition overall. Well, it's got a couple light scratches, but that is going to be a nice replacement for that gold series. I'm going to need two more metal raiders cuz these are unlimited. I want first dead for now. The unlimiteds will have to do, but that's my first unlimited or my non unlimited MRD first dead solemn judgment. These two uh are going to have to get upgraded, but as you can tell, like the the cloak even looks a little different with the fade, but uh these will be upgraded soon. We're getting towards the end. We have Sakuratsu armors, which I have two of these and they are champion pack. I pulled these so I know they're in good condition. So, what I'm going to do to show the foil just so I don't have to put them back in the sleeve is I'm going to do this. Take a look like that. That is absolutely incredible. Champion pack. If you remember, I opened uh the he I think it was the heavy packs of like 80 champion packs back in the day, like a long time ago. And I've been using a lot of those cards since then, and I've gotten a lot of use out of them. There's some really amazing hollowos in that set. We're down only like five more cards. Here's the first Ed Call of the Haunted. Absolutely amazing. There aren't that many upgrades I need, but there are some. This one feels pretty minty as well. It didn't quite have that same as that snatch deal. Yeah, it does have a little bit of scuffing, but it felt pretty good right off the bat. First edition Pharaoh servant. And check out that light. Just slight slight hollow to make it creepy. That is incredible. Then we got our torrential tribute. Another really cool one. Such a cool looking card with the uh like the ice exploding here. I mean, look at this. Such I I've always loved this. The simplicity of it, but it's really telling you something's going on. Something is exploding here. And that's going to be the entire field. Beautiful. Such an awesome card. Such so fun to activate. By the way, I guess I should check the back for condition. Yeah, it's I remember this when I got it. I picked this up. It actually was an upgrade. I had a really beat up one before. So, this one was good enough cuz I upgraded with it. Let's do Ring of Destruction First Edition next. I do love this card out for a Guardian. This is the Onora, obviously, because, you know, it gets eroded later. It gets a lot worse. You can't use it on yourself. You can't, you know, in the the thing in a draw, you know, there's a lot of different things that happen with the OG text. Really nice condition on this card, too. Such a powerful card. You just they summon their card. Unfortunately, you know, they have priority, so they can play around it a little bit, but on breaker or something like that, you just blow it up before they even use their effect. Two more cards. We got a Dust Torn tornado first edition super rare from Pharaoh Servant. This card I must have pulled. It feels fantastic. Oh, it's got a ding. Wait. Yeah, it feels mint, but it has a ding. So, maybe I didn't pull it. Or maybe it just came out of the pack like that cuz this has the mint feel to it, but a couple of the edges are beat up. So, interesting story on that one. But look at that shine. The foil on these cards. Old school cards, man. We just can't compete with that. They were so simple but so beautiful. Last card, we had to end with one of my favorite cards in all of Yu-Gi-Oh, and that's Mirror Force. It is iconic from the anime. It's amazing. It's beautiful. It's got simplicity to it like Torrential Tribute, but it is showing you. It's reflecting back at you. Is that I got a little something on there. That might Is that just a scratch? It's got a scratch on the foil. That might be something I I would be interested in in upgrading just because that scratch is visible on the foil. It's a pretty nice condition one overall, but unfortunate that it does have a little scratch, but overall still an awesome card. I've used Mirror Force many, many times. First edition uh as well, which is a lot of fun. Metal Raider is my favorite set. So, got to love that one. And that is my goat format deck. Guys, if you have any of the cards I need, which I mentioned were the MSD upgrade, the duo upgrade, the uh the the judgments, I need the trap dust shoots, maybe BLS, I could maybe do uh there was a couple other ones. The mystic swordsman level one or level two first edition, the blade knights. I think that's everything. Uh all that stuff I need upgrading, but this is a super fun deck and it is almost fully maxed out. I'll I'll have values pop up as we go and we can have a total value of the entire thing and it's going to be pretty valuable because it's old school Yu-Gi-Oh. It's not Edison level, but it is quite expensive if you max out your go deck, but you can always play those commons and get it way way cheaper. So, I can't wait to see you guys today at 3:00 for the whatnot stream. We're going to be giving away a ton of awesome stuff and selling a lot of amazing things as well. And don't forget next week, Pharaoh Servant first edition. Maybe we'll get a nobleman of Crossout. So, check out some other videos on your way out and I'll see you guys next time. Shout out to Brandon Cheney, Adams, Beim Training, King Tamaya, Junior Marty, >> OH, AND ARCH LORD Christiania first edition, Shangang, and Crypto Poppy Mike for your support as ultimate members. >> OH MY GOODNESS. THE BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON. I'll see you guys next time. Peace.
