Goat Format Attacking Rules Explained Like You're 5

[@jt54]

A lot of the confusion comes from those 2 unnamed windows obviously, which you made a great job clarifying. I wish there was an official substep called "attack declaration" before the battle step. Thanks also for articulating well and not using too much slang, it makes the discussion well understandable for your international audience. Something i am sure you are well acquainted with now that you live abroad. Keep up the good work !

[@hyoroemongaming569]

I think attack declarestion is actual official term

[@hjuns]

uhm next time can u make one for people who are 5 and also high

[@nickfanzo]

You should be able to understand this game more while high, it defies time and space. But with time on the chain

[@simonmoe3908]

Wow. Super helpful for me as I’m slowly learning ruling specifics for Goat format. Thanks man!

[@nickfanzo]

Battle would be less complicated if they just put the spell speed on the card somewhere. it’s confusing for new players to understand what speed certain traps are without an explanation on the card. Also take backs during an attack initiation is so broken. 😂

[@maestradebobobo767]

Believe me. This video is more necessary than you may actually think. I also wanted to know if 3:04 this applies for modern format as well

[@GoatDuels]

Yes, this applies for modern format as well as all other Yu-Gi-Oh formats.

Your content of ruling is amazing, that's why I'm a sub. Can you share where did you find the rulings for 'call back' the declared monster's attack? Also if you are available for response ruling questions in GOAT. Thank you

[@GoatDuels]

yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Replay "Prior to May 2006 in the TCG, if a replay occurred and a new attack target was not selected immediately, the monster that attacked could still declare an attack at another point during that Battle Phase. This is no longer the case, so if a new attack target is not selected during a replay, the monster that attacked cannot attack for the rest of that Battle Phase."

[@apostleianlovelette]

...That explains why Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon couldn't attack via Replay in Master Duel if I both used it to attack and used its effect to bounce a monster back to hand.

[@typical_doza]

Had to replay this video at least 5 times. I will probably replay it again during a match lol

[@manh-haimuller6027]

Very important rulings! Most players don’t know this! Useful and well summarized

[@DeputyStagg]

Great content, especially important for people playing paper to clear up confusion they could be playing with for years

[@LBcash12]

Would you explain the kinetic soldier/limiter removal explanation quick again? Because limiter doubles original atk as chain link 2? Confused on that one

[@edwar6706]

i think it would go 1350x2 then +2000 =4700 during damage step, but it could be different if you opoment first chain a effect during dmg step? im curious too to be honest

[@SuperNickid]

@Goat Duels: does the End of damage step in goat format only have one chain also compare to the Modern rules. For example in goat format if the end of damage step is one chain. for example in goat format if the end of damage step is one chain, and pyramid turtle is destroy by battle and I special summoned Ryu kokki then my opponent can activated botomless trap hole, since that would be in a new chain and their for not the end of damage step, while that same play my opponent made would be an illegal play in modern yugioh since their is more then one chain in the End of damage step.

[@clayvision]

the 2chains part was amazing lolol

[@solidsupra8185]

Very helpful, a question I had was regarding cyber jar If you attack - who sets up first ? If you flip it - who sets up first ? This problem comes up more often then not, anyway good stuff

[@GoatDuels]

The turn player sets up first.

[@Reox8888]

Is there a list somewhere of all the rules differences between goat and modern ygo?

[@LOB-E061]

nice one. I`d like to see more of these videos

[@ManuelRiccobono]

5:26 why was this a rule in the first place? It makes no sense.

[@zazzles123]

Effects that negate the activation can be activated in damage step, i think, like gravekeeper's watcher

[@GoatDuels]

This is incorrect. Gravekeeper's Watcher cannot be used in the damage step (in Goat Format).

[@jamesnesran2348]

@@GoatDuels hmm, does that differ from modern yugioh? pretty sure you could do that in modern

[@GoatDuels]

@@jamesnesran2348 Yes, it is different from modern Yugioh.

I'm glad I got into Yu-Gi-Oh years ago. I guess I wouldn't be willing to learn all those things now

[@ricardorodriguezgonzalez8786]

Amazing content bro

[@randubs1206]

Plz explain Sakuretsu Armor

[@reyzor2160]

Very good content! i just don't understand why u can't use limiter removal on kinetic soldier, is it because it's considered a second chain?

[@GoatDuels]

You can't wait for the 2000 boost to resolve and then Limiter, because it's a new chain. You can chain Limiter to the boost as cl2, and then it still won't go to 6700, because you resolve the chain backwards.

[@reyzor2160]

@@GoatDuels Thanks for the explanation

[@Prodigial]

Still depressed Royal Oppression cannot be used in Damage Step. I think it would enable a lot more aggro decks outside of generic Warrior or combo decks.

[@dragon-id5uj]

huh? who's special summoning in the damage step? or is this sarcasm...

[@Prodigial]

@@dragon-id5uj Royal Oppression cannot work on cards like GK Spy or any of the recruiters because those occur in damage step which heavily limits its power in GOAT format.

[@johndoe9343]

I thought it was called the "Attack Declaration Window" and then ... new chain(s) after that. Substep 3 of the Battle Step.

[@leanderschlinge5277]

Hey, great video. I have one question though: you said the difference in goat format is, that in the damage step, you can only use counter traps, ss2 stat modefiers, and trigger effects. What is exactly the difference to current yugioh? I thought you can also just use those things during the damage step in current. Just wondering🤔

[@GoatDuels]

In current, you can use anything that negates an effect's activation, not just counter traps.

[@leanderschlinge5277]

@@GoatDuels ah okay, thank you

[@Robinmine]

@@GoatDuels My other comment got deleted, probably because of a link. So again without a link, according to other sources, monsters that negate activation can still be used in damage step in goat, just spells and traps with spell speed 2 can't. So example that would be illegal according to your video, but legal with other sources -> Activate metalmorph in damage step, chain A-Team: Trap Disposal Unit to negate the activation (as long as A-Team: Trap Disposal Unit wasn't the target of the attack).

[@GoatDuels]

@Kite: In general, monsters that negate activations cannot be used in the damage step in Goat Format. For example, Gravekeeper's Watcher cannot be used in the damage step. A-Team has a very weird ruling, where it can be used in the damage step, but only if it's not being involved in the battle (in contrast to current Yugioh, where it being involved in battle is entirely irrelevant).

[@Robinmine]

@@GoatDuels I thought it was the Gravekeeper's Watcher that is the outlier here, since it activates in hand. For example damage step rush recklessly, chain Dark Paladin to negate the activation is legal.

I wish this video included rulings on BLS.

Not at the moment. There are a few ways that you can send me small donations on KZbin using "Thanks," "Join," and Super Chatting during my streams (I plan to start streaming again soon). There will be even more ways to support Goat Duels in the near future.

[@randoomingnope7574]

Can I MST the quipped monster of a thousand eyes in the "second window" and it is forced to crash into my monster since it no longer got the attack boost? (Without them being able to say "I wish to longer attack")

[@GoatDuels]

Yes, you can do this. Remember, a replay only occurs if the number of monsters on your side of the field (in your monster zone) changed.
