[Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel] Master I Mekk-Knight Crusadia 「遊戯王マスターデュエル」【機界騎士 パラディオン】【JKパラディオン】

************************************************************************
Saving notable replays of my Master I Mekk-Knight Crusadia decklists to document the evolution of my deckbuilding and hopefully showcase concepts and situational gameplans in a wide variety of gamestates for those interested in taking a World Legacy protagonist-themed deck to the highest rank in Master Duel.
About me: I have reached top rank with my beloved Mekk-Knight Crusadia deck every month since Season 1 of Master Duel. I have also achieved top 10k in every DC and WCQ so far. That said, I am not a competitive player and hardly skilled. I only decided to upload these videos because a number of people have come asking for replays after finding my lists on MasterDuelMeta.com, and Master Duel only offers 10 in-game replay slots.
I don't know anything about any other decks as I have only played Crusadia decks (with and without Mekks) since returning to the game following the release of Crusadia in the OCG. I will sooner quit Yu-Gi-Oh! than play another deck, so please expect only Crusadia-based gameplay on this channel.
Check out my lists on MasterDuelMeta.com: www.masterduel...
Unfortunately, I only started uploading to MDM after the 1st Duelist Cup.
I hope this playlist will serve as useful reference material for future Mekk-Knight Crusadia players.

How is this in current meta especially with Tenpais?
I was looking for a new budget deck. Ive got only 60 ur dust, but most of the staples (extra deck staples not too much but access code)
I found about crusadia and equimax. Your deck has too kany URs for me i think, but do you think Crusadia Mekk combo is just better than pure crusadia?
What would you craft with only 60 ur? Avramax and feather duster probably?
In today's mega i guess its somehow important to be good at first AND second turn right

@@17trunX I’ve been playing a different build this season. 60 cards, going first! Currently in M3, will post on MDM once I’m finally done with the climb.
This particular list is a blind 2nd build. I can’t say how it’s currently working post-Tenpai, but I used it to climb out of Diamond earlier in the month just fine. Tenpai release has completely changed the meta though. I can’t say if it is still good.
If you only have 60 UR, rationally I can’t recommend you build this. The power level is way too low. That said, you should definitely craft Duster. You will need it now as half the decks on the ladder run a bunch of traps to stop Tenpai. Avramax is my boy but he honestly doesn’t hit the field all that often like how combo decks turbo out their bosses. This deck is very much focused on Lib and the Link-2 game, with him coming in only at the end to seal the game. Most of the beat down comes from Link-2s and Mekks. Of course, the deck would be a lot worse without its boss, but don’t craft him just for this deck unless you really love World Legacy!
And yes, that’s partly why I’m playing a different list at the moment. You now have to be able to build a board going first as well. Unlike Tenpai, we are a 2c combo deck, so we can’t run as many non-engine cards if we want to consistently have a board on turn 1; this in turn makes blind 2nd play extremely weak. Thus I believe it is better to build for going 1st right now. I will share my list once I am done climbing!

@@17trunX oh and yes, 100% I believe mekk Crusadia is better than pure Crusadia. Pure Crusadia is more accurately Kaiju Crusadia. The gameplan is too limited and is essentially a 3c combo because you need a kaiju in addition to 2 crusadias for your win-con. Mekk Crusadia is a midrange deck that doesn’t have to OTK, so it is firmly 2c combo, meaning the other 4 cards in hand can be non-engine, which should be sufficient for you to disrupt the opponent’s plays and maintain a simplified gamestate.

@@Cydver thx for the very detailed reply man. Subbed

@@17trunX np mate, also there is no need to sub. I’m not a content creator, this is just an archive of replays for people who ask on MDM or in the MD discord. You can ping me in discord whenever. My username is Cydver
