Crazy that this deck is basically tenpai, the fact that all the cards you get are from outside of the deck makes this one of the best decks in the 0 gem format along side the Rainbow Neos skill lol.
to me it looks like whoever designs these skills is a huge anime fan, so they create effects that make it possible to recreate specific cool moments from the show, but doesnt stop and thinks how people who are not roleplayers like him are gonna exploit those skills and create some of the most degenerate and cheese stuff imaginable instead of pretending to be yuya and yuto like the designer intended
I love anime roleplaying, but that's not how the anime works u.u the anime characters usually are in a bad situation before to make their crazy otk plays these skills are giving you the tools to make otk plays since the begining of the duel and ignoring the game rules it looks like something a villain like Bohman would do (his power was cheating with skills), but not the protagonist I believe that broken skills for monthly kog are just too good selling boxes and that's why konami keeps making them
@@mekklord i think they knew what they were doing tbh. they know people who don't have smurfs or used all their resources to get other things with their gems would spend money. there was no lack of foresight here this was straight up planned. you remember Tachyon Pre skill nerf with a highly consistent FTK? that people spent money on playing to be degenerate in fact i got to stage 2 with that very deck. i think konami knows more then what you all give them credit for. it's so you spend money and potentially with talk of these strats give them extra revenue after all it's a Free to play game. and the fact that this tachyon stuff was available a week prior to the KC Cup occurring is more absurd. they nerfed that right after the fact that this happened. i don't think they do anything on purpose. they know how creative their player base is.
I find it funny how your favourite Skill is Meklord Refinememt, and your two least favourites are ones owned by Yusei and Sherry. Have you encountered versions of yourself from different points in your life recently?
yeah... Konami seems basically to have done away with deck build requirements. With the exception of Fleur, basically every notable skill since who knows how long ago was either a) generic/semi-generic, or b) had SUMMON restrictions on it. Seems decks like this are the price we pay for that decision...
I’ve always said to people especially when reading some of these skills let alone witnessing them being broken in action. They never play test their game I swear 😂
I don't exactly have a problem with skills with less restrictions, like you mentioned a skill restriction can utterly neuter an archetype i.e. your mekklord decks, but obviously the power of those skills should be tuned down if they aren't going to restrict them (honestly the mekklord skill could have it's restriction weakened or flat out removed). In fact I would prefer if the majority of skills were like I just described. Instead of a bunch of hyper specific overpowered skills for specific archetypes (basically the entire tier 1, 2 and 3 decks of the format) and instead have konami make more skills that would allow for them to be splashed into multiple archetypes but without having 3 paragraphs worth of effects baked into them.
@mekklord not going to lie a part of me wanted to see how I can abuse it but I don't have enough Sky Striker cards so I'll just not use the skill it's pretty good though they still haven't nerfed odd eyes eyes acceleration either
Tbh i saw the skill and immediately thought that it's gonna go the ways of raging pendulum but for now as an archetype builder ima enjoy it as i now have a more accurate Yuya anime deck except for overlord ofc but where's the fun in ending the game quickly so it's rarely summoned by me. I instead focus on summoning the four dimensional dragons at once and possibly their upgraded forms.
Log into duel links watched bro press a yellow button and i got a predacounter i quit immediately because why tf does affect my cards. I like predaplant then we got this for the new year
Yeah i mean skills that puts cards put of nowhere kinda ok mecanic since its apart from the game, but aplying and actual EFFECT or Condition that let you activate a monst effct is ridiculous
i started played master duels and i cant play duel links at all anymore.. the game is so boring and unfair cuz of this stupid yellow button!! Thanks for playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links!
except WotC acknowledged that Companions were mistakes, nerfed them, banned most of them everywhere, and never printed them again Konami keeps releasing Skills
How many time can Konami fucked up another pendulum skill?? How many times do we need to fix the same thing with the same solution and not just release the skill with the restriction in place before releasing???
I got all the cards, so I had tried it out. This is the most brain-dead unfun deck in the world and it's winning. A lot. I pray to god they nerf the skill in a week something like this should not exist. Not after we were just out of bird and plant format.
yeah, konami can easily fix this by adding something like: "Half of your MAIN DECK must be "performapal" "odd-eyes" "phantom knights" and/or "magician (pendulum)" cards." or "you can only include spells/traps that mention or have these words in its text/name: "performapal / phantom knights / odd-eyes / magician / pendulum"" I've personally been using this skill with Phantom Knights as one of the decks that it was intended for, and I find it balanced enough, like a worse version of the PK skill but fun regardless... I just hope that Konami doesn't overcorrect it and just add a deck building restriction/requirement. Konami has the terrible track record of overcorrecting their mistakes.
Ya know I want a cubic skill but I don't want a cubic skill if it's gonna become a major problem I think they should focus on giving more archetypes universal skills in 2025 and less on characters getting new skills i know it's dumb but I think we need a break from character skills
I know i sound like a broken record but i miss the older skills. I miss the days when destiny draw was the best but didnt set up a combo for you or give you card advantage for free.
Ah yes, skills playing the game for you. I feel the person that makes these skills is an anime roleplayer but doesn't account for the skill being abusable in different ways. If you want to make anime skills, there NEEDS to be restrictions, specifically deck and summon restrictions, otherwise stuff like this happens. Remember how long it took for them to nerf Raging Pendulum? They just kept limiting cards instead of tacking the actual skill, so people just kept finding different ways to abuse it. Give me more dumb fun skills like Jaden's skill that adds all his Season 1 E-HERO fusions to his extra deck.
3 pend call + 1-2x dragonpit and 1-2 Oafdragon Magician +0-1 Noble Dragon Magician + orcust (or any generic engine) + dont click the second part of the skill and you got yourself a buffed orcust (or said other engine) decklist capable of playing odd eyes rebellion and odd eyes lol. Peak game balancing from konami lol (/s)
I rather we hit the sky striker engine as well. 2 decks already showed that this engine is one of the main reasons why this is possible, the main reason being the broken skills, but lets be honest, konami hasnt hit fleur to a point where its been more restrictive, what makes anyone think they will stop making these shitty skills?
In my opinion this game is fine, yeah the skill is fucking dumb asf but it will take more than this to kill the game like searchable kaijus and super polys
This is done with the intent of people spending money on the deck from the people showcasing the deck because Konami knows that people will spend a few hundred dollars on buying the cards for it till it gets nerf. Win win for Konami
the deck isn't that expensive tbh, you can play a basic stall version with f2p cards like kiteroid and empress' staff and still steamroll people up to plat
Yeah man, everyone & his parents are complaining, BUT ironicly u only see decks like that on the ladder So ppl do either complaining about it just for the sake of complaining despite playing that deck themselfs or they are happened to lose alot against it I mean, feel free to give me better ideas of why this deck sees a lot of play on the ladder
the skill is fine i always thought that sky striker is a little much for duel links (espeically if just a big stick is enough to break it) but lets wait at least 2 weeks to confirm it wasn't just a good metacall (predaplant's kaiju)
Wanting players to play the decks exactly as Konami intended is the pinacle of boredom. You're on a streak of horrible takes. This deck is not meta, it won because it took everyone by surprise, and it promotes interaction. Yes it can be nerfed but it's really not a priority.
Foolish me trying to make performapals work with this skill, you know, like how it was "designed"
This skill sums up Duel links in 2024
pretty much LOL
Crazy that this deck is basically tenpai, the fact that all the cards you get are from outside of the deck makes this one of the best decks in the 0 gem format along side the Rainbow Neos skill lol.
pauper RUINED
do you have a banlist for skills?
@ we banned Cubic Seeds and the default skill that adds NightandGale, NightandGale is banned.
incredibly based tbh
to me it looks like whoever designs these skills is a huge anime fan,
so they create effects that make it possible to recreate specific cool moments from the show, but doesnt stop and thinks how people who are not roleplayers like him are gonna exploit those skills and create some of the most degenerate and cheese stuff imaginable instead of pretending to be yuya and yuto like the designer intended
could be tbh
I love anime roleplaying, but that's not how the anime works u.u
the anime characters usually are in a bad situation before to make their crazy otk plays
these skills are giving you the tools to make otk plays since the begining of the duel and ignoring the game rules
it looks like something a villain like Bohman would do (his power was cheating with skills), but not the protagonist
I believe that broken skills for monthly kog are just too good selling boxes and that's why konami keeps making them
This is the true definition of “WTAF IS THIS!!!”
For real Konami’s employees creativity is that they hate reading so we can read it for them
the lack of foresight is phenomenal tbh
@@mekklord i think they knew what they were doing tbh. they know people who don't have smurfs or used all their resources to get other things with their gems would spend money. there was no lack of foresight here this was straight up planned. you remember Tachyon Pre skill nerf with a highly consistent FTK? that people spent money on playing to be degenerate in fact i got to stage 2 with that very deck. i think konami knows more then what you all give them credit for. it's so you spend money and potentially with talk of these strats give them extra revenue after all it's a Free to play game. and the fact that this tachyon stuff was available a week prior to the KC Cup occurring is more absurd. they nerfed that right after the fact that this happened. i don't think they do anything on purpose. they know how creative their player base is.

rather, i think i'm gonna be split into 3 different people at some point

duel links in 2024
I played it it's insane whoever people lost interests in as soon as the box was released
Yes very fine indeed, skystriker odd eyes wasn't on my weird yugioh decklist bingo sheet this year
venn diagram of odd-eyes, orcust and sky striker getting closer to completion

Lyrilusc skill is not hyper specific. Just foolishes a monster.
They need broken skills for bad decks to compète with good decks
*_How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, Konami?!_*
I love toxic gameplays.
@@bluegigastar9859 why thou?
The skill needs an added restriction. You must have 12 or more pendulum monsters in the deck for it to work.
might be a bit too much
Happy New Year! Would you be willing to make a documentary video of Cydra History’s in Duel Links? I think that’s a very well liked archetype
i'll definitely take an extensive lool at cyber style tbh
@mekklord always down for more Cyber Dragon content I'll second this. Keep up the great work in 2025!
Happy New Year 🎉 I feel like this Skill Will need a skill change🤔
Thanks for the shout out! Great video!
you're welcome and ty!!
😮bro i got smacked by the new odd eyes skill i checked the deck and saw solfachord
the famous solfachord skill!
@mekklord not going to lie a part of me wanted to see how I can abuse it but I don't have enough Sky Striker cards so I'll just not use the skill it's pretty good though they still haven't nerfed odd eyes eyes acceleration either

I just wanna say still no wight baking🥺
ANTI-WIGHT OPPRESSION
The answer is both combined with huffing paint fumes
What!!! free instant scale fixers AND!!!! a monster you can easily summon with those scales? What could possibly go wrong !
This is basically a Magic The Gathering deck with the Legendary Creature and Companion mechanic
except WotC acknowledged that Companions were mistakes, nerfed them, banned most of them everywhere, and never printed them again
Konami keeps releasing Skills
Well i for one think is gonna be fun super poly might be band or the still reduced so we wouldnt know
How many time can Konami fucked up another pendulum skill??
How many times do we need to fix the same thing with the same solution and not just release the skill with the restriction in place before releasing???

konami? learning from their mistakes? naaaah
I like your videos and I am also a mekklord player.
yeah, konami can easily fix this by adding something like:
"Half of your MAIN DECK must be "performapal" "odd-eyes" "phantom knights" and/or "magician (pendulum)" cards."
or
"you can only include spells/traps that mention or have these words in its text/name: "performapal / phantom knights / odd-eyes / magician / pendulum""
I've personally been using this skill with Phantom Knights as one of the decks that it was intended for, and I find it balanced enough, like a worse version of the PK skill but fun regardless... I just hope that Konami doesn't overcorrect it and just add a deck building restriction/requirement. Konami has the terrible track record of overcorrecting their mistakes.
big BIG agree
Konami did not learn anything bruh
I was playing against the new Jayden skill and bro already had huge beatsticks with little effort 😭
classic konami
i made it into a mekklord video ICANT
common mekklord cameo
I think something is really wrong when the newest skill makes Revolution des Fleur look balanced...
Ya know I want a cubic skill but I don't want a cubic skill if it's gonna become a major problem I think they should focus on giving more archetypes universal skills in 2025 and less on characters getting new skills i know it's dumb but I think we need a break from character skills
meanwhile every cubic skill is like "if you play a single card that doesn't mention cubics you will go to jail"
In other news, the sky is blue
I know i sound like a broken record but i miss the older skills. I miss the days when destiny draw was the best but didnt set up a combo for you or give you card advantage for free.
god same. i used to complain about ddraw back then... if i only knew.
@@mekklordwhich is to show you're just a complainer lol
Happy new year!
Everytime a skill is nerfed i hate Konami more and more. Let us free to play players use our favorite cards!
Ah yes, skills playing the game for you.

"Ah shit, here we go again.." 😂
what a way to end 2024
@mekklord Ikr? 🤣 also, Happy New Year!! 🥳💙💯
@@yumyumramirezsame to you!
Tbh restrictions won't help with this one skill since sky striker are spell cards, they just need to tone down the free monster cards out of nowhere.
if you need to play some monsters, you still reduce the odds of the striker cards being played tbh
@mekklord I actually forgot they CAN have you need to include monster cards, my bad and you're right.
3 pend call + 1-2x dragonpit and 1-2 Oafdragon Magician +0-1 Noble Dragon Magician + orcust (or any generic engine) + dont click the second part of the skill and you got yourself a buffed orcust (or said other engine) decklist capable of playing odd eyes rebellion and odd eyes lol.
Peak game balancing from konami lol (/s)
All striker cards duel links eratad to be once per turn there fixed
Crystal beast video soon please!!!
i'll try!
Unpopular opinion: Raging Pendulum did nothing wrong and should serve as a model for future pend skills
PS: told ya
all things considered raging pend wasn't THAT bad
Only made magistus limited to 3 bcz how fair it was
Giving you sht for free with a yellow button killed this game for me
@@Palolo2343 You do know Magistus got limited 3 because of BLS and not Raging Pendulum, right?
ultimate buff for the most dead deck
I rather we hit the sky striker engine as well.
2 decks already showed that this engine is one of the main reasons why this is possible, the main reason being the broken skills, but lets be honest, konami hasnt hit fleur to a point where its been more restrictive, what makes anyone think they will stop making these shitty skills?
i dont like the idea of hitting cards for the mistakes of a skill tbh
Yeah konami never disappointing when it comes to disappointment, they always get it right
merry christmas -konami
Hey mek... Duel links is $hit 💩
If we did our jobs poorly like thase literal apes in komoneys headquarters we would get immediatly fired
In my opinion this game is fine, yeah the skill is fucking dumb asf but it will take more than this to kill the game like searchable kaijus and super polys
Is 0 brain required Red Eyes deck from a few years ago.
but better
@mekklord indeed.
At this point i do really think they activly try to kill the game
i'm still not playing MD
This is done with the intent of people spending money on the deck from the people showcasing the deck because Konami knows that people will spend a few hundred dollars on buying the cards for it till it gets nerf. Win win for Konami
the deck isn't that expensive tbh, you can play a basic stall version with f2p cards like kiteroid and empress' staff and still steamroll people up to plat
@mekklord that's not the point lol they know exactly what they are doing Konami is VERY SMART
Oh yeah another broken generic skill without any real restriction, something never seen in this amazing balanced game
you know what they say, lightning never strikes twice 🤓
Wow,Konami made another busted skill,are they even trying anymore atp 🥲
they're clearly not
Sir rev isn't a fair skill
i never said it was
Yeah man, everyone & his parents are complaining, BUT ironicly u only see decks like that on the ladder
So ppl do either complaining about it just for the sake of complaining despite playing that deck themselfs or they are happened to lose alot against it
I mean, feel free to give me better ideas of why this deck sees a lot of play on the ladder
there are more than 5 people playing duel links.
@mekklord I know but it says something if the ladder becomes full of that deck, which has more than just 5 player
Oh, this?
I defeated it... First try.
Also Happy New year.
Do they even test skills be4 releasing it 🤦🏽♂️ konami hire ppl who plays the game 😂
they really should tbh
the skill is fine
i always thought that sky striker is a little much for duel links (espeically if just a big stick is enough to break it) but lets wait at least 2 weeks to confirm it wasn't just a good metacall (predaplant's kaiju)
God I hate Sky Striker cards
I combat the prevailence of broken skills by playing FTK decks. You must combat toxicity with toxicity.
And now the game is in a dumpster fire because of it.
@bluewhirlwind9830 Konami wouldn't have it any other way 😉
Wanting players to play the decks exactly as Konami intended is the pinacle of boredom.
You're on a streak of horrible takes.
This deck is not meta, it won because it took everyone by surprise, and it promotes interaction.
Yes it can be nerfed but it's really not a priority.
