I have a question, since memory and trap glope negate the activation of a card, I dont think it works if you move the mekk knight to that column after it's already activated
@@mintychan4883 "Negate any opponent’s monster effect that activates in the same column as a “Mekk-Knight” monster you control." I think the wording of it implies that it will negate effects as long as it activated in a column with a mekk-knight. In this case, the word activate might just be describing the location that it was activated. There is 2 parts to this that I kinda understand? "Negate any opponents monster effects", which describes what it does. "...that activates in the same column as a mekk-knight monster you control", so as long as it activated in the same column, which after indigo would move into or whatever, it would be negated because it fulfills both of those conditions of controlled mekk-knight and same column. It doesn't mention that the mekk-knight had to be there when it was activated. But I think this also implies that it isn't a blanket negate but it can only stop activated effects and not continuous ones. (Which makes me think of weird situations of having dhero plasma stopping the indigo moving but having to be careful about where to place the stolen monster assuming it went through.) This is my hokey way of explaining it. I would love if someone would come around and they can really get this down. Mekk-knight is so incredibly interesting.
Seeing Shannon Long control the board with his face down cards and create columns with cards like Red Reboot, such a brilliant idea. And having secrets out to not only to resurrect a Mekk knight, but also negate whatever card was activated in that same column as a Mekk knight, really forces the opponent into a corner. Especially if the column had a Red Moon, which can destroy a card that’s in the same column as itself. But the Archlord Kristya on field, I thought Shannon was done for...until he flipped Infinite Impermanence. Holy shit, I didn’t expect that. Negating that Kristya was absolutely key to bringing out his monsters for the kill. That was so much fun. I actually got back into Yugioh because of Shannon Long, I saw a deck profile he did once with Mekk Knights and Shaddolls. When I first laid my eyes on those archetypes in February, i was star struck. So shout outs to Shannon for showing how Mekk Knights work and being passionate about the game, it inspired me to return to this game after so many years.
I read your comment to make sense out of what happened, as I quit playing Yu-Gi-Oh years ago, but still play Duel Links and watch videos like this often. It's definitely the type of video that can give you the passion to start a hobby again and I'm going to try and make a basic meta deck and attend some local tourneys to try and get into the game again as well!
XBLonTwitch I wish you the best of luck! The game definitely has changed significantly over the years, but I still think it’s not too hard to understand. Probably the best deck to try if you’re just getting back into the game, I’d say Salamangreats. The archetype has a linear play style, basically bringing out certain monsters for cards like Salamangreat Baelynx which can protect you from the graveyard, Sunlight Wolf which allows you to get a Salamangreat card from the graveyard, and Heatleo which can change an opponents monster equal to one of the monsters you have in the graveyard. If you want more details as to how that deck plays, there are a few Salamangreat deck profiles online and you can read up on what the cards do. Before you buy cards though, check out duelingbook.com or download ygopro on your computer. Both have access to al the cards in the game and you can play against people online to play test your newly made deck. You don’t want to buy cards before you know how they work, and in the event you aren’t a fan of that deck, you can just try something else. Also, if you want to update yourself on the new mechanics in the game, check out Cimoo’s channel and watch his playlist on the yugioh basics. He explains in great detail how the game works very easily and has his own deck profiles that are budget friendly to try out.
Both players are very good fr the matches I've seen but wow does that mekk knight player have A LOT of column management skill and matchup knowledge for any and every match
Yeah I definitely had to come watch this one after that duel vs paleo frogs. That duel was insane, can’t wait to see how this one goes. Will edit comment once I’ve watched the whole thing. **EDIT: holy hell what a duel. That was peak Yu-Gu-Oh.
17:38 How did he tribute opponent's monster for cost of Monster Gate? You can only tribute your own monsters, unless card spesifically says otherwise, but Monster Gate does not.
lair of darkness allows you to tribute your opponents monsters for your own card effects. so he tributrs his opp monster with monster gate because of lair of darkness
I think the Infernoid Player should've just not had played anything and attempted and OTK himself, cus it seems like Pure Mekk Knights can't really do very much unless their opponent plays. I would've risked it.
How did the infernoid player end his turn 1 board with seitsemas and the omega? Doesn’t seitsemas say that the TOTAL level of effect monsters you can control is 8 or lower. Someone explain please I must be missing something. Thank you
I mean, infernoids aren't the best otk deck out there, and Mekknight did win in one turn during both of the games. I would say this isn't the game to prove yugioh is not a one turn game.
@@jthememeking it can because using a monster to pay a cost (like the tribute cost of monster gate) technically isn't an effect, so it's not being affected by the card. Just the same way, you can kaiju any "unaffected by card effects" monsters, which is what makes them so strong
@@antonbrown17 you're incorrect. Ulti falcon is unaffected by card effects. It is unaffected by lair and can't be tributed by lair. This isn't a new ruling and has been confirmed like this since lairs release
Budd Brown you can’t tribute Falcon with Lair because it’s part of a spell effect. Tributing for Kaijus is a summoning requirement, not an effect, so Kaijus still work on Falcon.
The absolute greatest game I've ever had the privilege to cast. Shouts out to Clifton and Shannon. Unreal.
Can we get some decklists? Those seem amazing.
I have a question, since memory and trap glope negate the activation of a card, I dont think it works if you move the mekk knight to that column after it's already activated
Agreed
I heard your “deca-trans rights” joke lool

One of the wildest matchups I’ve ever seen honestly
In today's decks and matchups? Yea, this is pretty unique to watch.
Not really....
They just went full anime there
I never thought I would say this but
TRIBUTE SUMMON DRIVER FOR GAME
Yugi v Kaiba 2019 colourised
they coloured Kaiba too much it seems, he turned black
@@ozgunozerk i am angry that i laugh at this.
Both players are very good fr the matches I've seen but wow does that mekk knight player have A LOT of column management skill and matchup knowledge for any and every match
I agree bro Shannon's ridiculous with those columns
Mans a beast
All of Clifton and Shannons matches were so good to watch
Holy crap what a good game. Most entertaining game ive watched in years.
Ye
23:13
Me:"Ok, so lets see what an end board is going to look like for the mekk"
Double tap the screen :"This is game!"
Shannon is an absolute legend
megakirbyx you’re an absolute legend
@@bulbasam2143
He makes me want to pick up Mekks, seems fun
While watching this I actually grew religious...
Come on shannon rep the mekk-knights!!! Win this event!!!!
Wow this match was sick!!
Couldn't Shannon have chained Borrelsword to Monster Gate to change that Infernoid to Defense position?
Or is the tribute cost?
the tribute is a cost
He should have chained it to lair tho
@@berlinglasgow4942 That would have been big brain plays
Somebody stop this madman!!!
This right here is why I love Mekk-Knights
So entertaining! And should be said: great commentary since I don’t really know what those infernoids do
I played against a Mekk-knight with my Infernoid at locals yesterday. I won 2-0.
Yeah I definitely had to come watch this one after that duel vs paleo frogs. That duel was insane, can’t wait to see how this one goes. Will edit comment once I’ve watched the whole thing. **EDIT: holy hell what a duel. That was peak Yu-Gu-Oh.

what was the decklist for shaddoll dino?
Awesome game
HOLY SHIT YOU CAN USE MONSTER GATE WITH LAIR OF DARKNESS???
I think the Infernoid Player should've just not had played anything and attempted and OTK himself, cus it seems like Pure Mekk Knights can't really do very much unless their opponent plays. I would've risked it.
that phone call in the beginning lol
2 tier 2 decks in top 4. This is some serious gourmet shit.
How did the infernoid player end his turn 1 board with seitsemas and the omega? Doesn’t seitsemas say that the TOTAL level of effect monsters you can control is 8 or lower. Someone explain please I must be missing something. Thank you
Omega is level 8, so you're free to summon Seitsemas.
How did Clifton Land monster gate Shannon Long’s Borrelsword ?
Lair of darkness lets you tribute your opponent's monsters (once per turn)
Wait.... Is that Cimoooo i hear?
Clifton makes me want to play Noid
20:28
I feel less bad about losing to mekk-knight
This duel was Lit!!!
I'm going to build a mekk-knight deck today.lol
What was the blow out card in game 2 that he summoned off of monster gate?
Krystia
Berlin Glasgow ty
So does that mean it’s Orcust versus Mekknight?!?!
Whoever goes second wins xD
Deca-trans rights!
MBT says Decatrans Rights
"Yugioh is a one turn game"
I mean, infernoids aren't the best otk deck out there, and Mekknight did win in one turn during both of the games. I would say this isn't the game to prove yugioh is not a one turn game.
@@boraaksitozgun9912 void feast, reasoning, imagination, and monster gate are good game enders.
Plz god target the sets lmfao the excitement bwahahhahahah too good.
why was he allowed to tribute borrelsword for monster gate?
Lair of darkness effect let's you tribute your opponents monsters for your card effects
C mamo q buena partida
decatrans rights? Couldn't agree more
Mekk knight pure just puts in tht work 💪💪💪👏👏👏
Are you serious XD if only he had the Ultifalcon
if he had ultimate falcon it didn't really matter it would have just gotten tributed anyways
@@graff6366 ultifalcon can't be tributed by lair of darkness
@@jthememeking it can because using a monster to pay a cost (like the tribute cost of monster gate) technically isn't an effect, so it's not being affected by the card. Just the same way, you can kaiju any "unaffected by card effects" monsters, which is what makes them so strong

People are stressful with shuffle or wtf their hand...
CALM DOWNN DUDE ITS A GAMEEE
Shannon has skills but his luck waaaay overpowered his skill in this 1
Noice
