Well today I'm going to mention some powerful forces in the metagame:Chaos. As well as how to "de-construct" it. Actually first I'm going to analyze the deck itself then later I'll discuss ways to destroy it. This might happen for other decks as well. Anyways Chaos is a archetype that mainly focuses on the two Chaos monsters: Black Luster Soldier & Chaos Emperor Dragon. I realize how dominant cookie-cutter chaos decks run rampant in the recent metagame.
PURPOSE:It's obvious that the purpose of a Chaos deck is
to bring out the envoys. The thing that makes
Chaos so difficult to beat is the 38+ other cards
that can win on their own. This makes Chaos
da coup de grace.
STRENGTHS:Chaos decks usually don't have a theme.
It's a combination of powerful cards aimed
to defeat the opponent. This deck often has
monsters that take advantage of the envoy
summoning. This, coupled with the obscene
power of the Chaos monsters, gives Chaos
a high sucess rate.
WEAKNESSES:There are many ways to exploit the
weaknesses of a chaos deck. Chaos decks
often have bad draws since the envoys can
be dead weight in your hand. Also their
lack of a real theme allows properly made
themed decks to take advantage of them.
Third, the Emperor's effect can backfire if
countered correctly. Finally preventing the
means to summon the Chaos monsters=
G-A-M-E.

Now I'll say a standard Traditional format Chaos deck that an expert opponent might use:
Here would be the envoys:
Chaos Emperor Dragon-Envoy of the End
Black Luster Soldier-Envoy of the Beginning
Now some powerful and effective DARK monsters:
Jinzo
Witch of the Black Forest
Sangan
Magicial Scientist
Mystic Tomato
Breaker the Magicial Warrior
Don Zaloog
Witch/Sangan provides searching, Scientist goes for field control, Tomato to search for Zaloog, Scientist, Witch or Sangan. Don offers hand/deck disruption.
And some LIGHT monsters as well...
D.D Warrior Lady(2)
Airknight Parshath
Magician of Faith(2)
Magician of Faith "recycles spells", Airknight provides speed, D.D is a solid LIGHT support.
Finally staple cards...
Tribe Infecting Virus
Sinister Serpent
Yata-Garasu
Tribe provides great monster removal, Sinister Serpent goes against field/hand control, Yata....you know why....
Raigeki
Change of Heart
Dark Hole
Monster Reborn
Pot of Greed
Graceful Charity
Mystical Space Typhoon
Confiscation
Deliquent Duo
Heavy Storm
Harpie's Feather Duster
The Forceful Sentry
Premature Burial
Snatch Steal
Mirage of Nightmare
Painful Choice
Chaos requires a good spell setup. Painful Choice/Mirage of Nightmare provides speed. Everything else is easy to know.
Imperial Order
Mirror Force
Call of the Haunted
Torrential Tribute
Ring of Destruction
Everything here has a good reason to add.

Mystic Tomato
Magicial Scientist
Jinzo
Witch of the Black Forest
Sangan
Breaker the Magicial Warrior
These would be the effective DARK monsters. Witch/Sangan provides excellent searching. Magicial Scientist works for field control, Tomato can get out most monsters. Breaker is an excellent control card, Don provides hand/deck disruption. Jinzo is MAJOR.
D.D Warrior Lady(2)
Airknight Parshath
Magician of Faith(2)
Here are the typical LIGHT monsters. Magician of Faith can "recycle spells", Airknight for speed, D.D Warrior Lady has great monster removal.
Raigeki
Change of Heart
Dark Hole
Deliquent Duo
Monster Reborn
Harpie's Feather Duster
Snatch Steal
Heavy Storm
Premature Burial
Graceful Charity
Pot of Greed
Confiscaton
Mystical Space Typhoon
The Forceful Sentry
Painful Choice
Mirage of Nightmare
Chaos requires a good spell setup. Most of these cards are self-explanatory. Painful Choice & Mirage of Nightmare provides speed. The main pre-negaters can really be good against your opponent.
Imperial Order
Mirror Force
Call of the Haunted
Torrential Tribute
Ring of Destruction
The trap setup of a typical Chaos deck.
Chaos is pretty powerful. So my next articles will show ways to bring Chaos at their knees, hopefully restroing peace to Yugioh!
