![TOSS Format's Scariest Deck Finally Arrives! [Yu-Gi-Oh! Archetypes Explained: Orcust]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/9kwEzuqdsL8/mqdefault.jpg)
For context, I previously said that I would be putting off the Meklord Video since we hadn't reached one of the mini-milestones I set up that were time sensitive. But after seeing the response that announcement, it saw that I really let y'all down. I hope this helps make up for it!
It's ok big lad don't sweat it, next time probably say that not meating the milestone means the video will be delayed so people don't get all that scared, other than that my man you are doing an outstanding job you absolute legend
Wow, you already put some tech monsters early in part one. Impressive.
I have thought of support for meklords:
Meklord Queen Unfuture
dark machine lvl 1 2000/2000
Eff:
Cannot be Normal/Set summoned. Can only be special summoned from the deck, hand or gy if a Meklord monster with 2000 or more ATK leaves the field. If this card is summoned equip as many opponent monsters to this card as possible: this card gains ATK equal to the combined ATK of all monsters equipped to it.
Just imagine if they had a synchro monster that summons itself to your opponent's field
Summons itself to your opponent’s field, then had an additional effect that could either jumpstart you bringing out an emperor, or grant an additional effect when equipped to a monster by the effect of a Meklord.
Or maybe both. I dunno, Meklords need all the help they can get.
If summoning itself to the opponent’s field ends up being a bad/hard to implement mechanic, giving the synchro the ability to mystic box/creature swap/Shien’s Spy itself to the opponent’s field upon being special summoned to its owner’s field could be an option too.
I always thought that it would be neat if they got a card that would cheat out a high attack synchro monsters to the opponents field with their effects negated.
You are right. When I was trying to do CZcams. I was working on archetype support. And figure meklord needed a synchro.
Here's what I thought.
Name Meklord emperor Riser (synonym for evolution also goes with the effect)
Lv 8 dark synchro effect atk 2000 def 2000
Meterial 1 tuner + 1 non-tuner
You can treat one "meklord army" monster as tuner for this card synchro summon. Target one card your opponent control destroy it, then destroy this card. If this card is in the gy special summon it to your opponent field, then draw 1 card; you can only use this effect of "Meklord Emperor Riser" once per turn.
Na a mech lord kaiju thats treated as a synchro monster or going first you can add it to your opponents extra deck to banish 1 card face down.
I unironically designed one like that, that I called Meklord Despair where if synchro summoned it is summoned to your opponent’s field and then it special summons a Meklord Emperor monster from the deck ignoring summoning conditions. I even gave it Kaiju summoning effect where you can use your opponent’s monsters to summon it while treating a monster from the extra deck as a level 5 tuner monster and the other monster used is also treated as a level 5, yes it’s a level 10. I even gave it a graveyard effect that allows it to self equip to a Meklord Emperor monster and is treated as equipped by the equip effect of Meklord Emperor monster.
imagine this Nova a field spell for Meklords that treat other extra deck types AS SYNCHROS
That would be hella powerful.
Or a synchro that's a kaiju
I would make it a continuous spell instead this way the current feild spell can be used
@@riroufudo almost like SHS Battleball but THEY get the synchro
@@VamYGO ye
I genuinely think Meklords are another batch of good support away from being a real threat.
Having them transition from just purely *Anti-Synchro* to an *Anti-Extra Deck* strategy was a *good move* , especially with how reliant the meta is on it. Plus they still have a hate boner for Synchros as all their boss monsters gain added effects if playing against them.
I just wish they weren't so much of a mess that 90% of their modern support had to be spent just trying to *fix* their issues.
Still, they're one of my favorite archetypes in the game and I am glad that they at least get to be a fun rogue deck with an *actual strategy.*
If I had to make some additions to the archetype to smooth out the rough edges:
A) An actual GOOD field spell that protects your Meklord Emperors and Meklord Astros in a significant way and lets you treat ALL Extra Deck monsters on the field as Synchros
B) An archetypeal Pot of Greed ( Ixchel, Orcustrated Return etc.) to increase consistency and fill up the GY
C) Maybe new Meklord Emperors, Army Monsters or , hell, just retrains of Granel and Skiel? Because Wisel is just about the only decent one. Even his retrain is more usefull than the other Emperors.
D) More cards that help Meklords burn the opponent for playing EX monsters? They kind of had that in the anime and it would make Obbligato's second effect feel less out of place if it was an actual Plan B for the Meklords to just slowly widdle the opponent's LP down.
In the bon de fleur era thesse guts saw play alot
The victors of the War of the Worthless
Got it! Go second, have Mekanikle and Triskelion in hand and any 3 other Meklords (and whatever final card you might have like Mound of the Bound Creator). Send 3 to bring out Mekanikle, banish for Triskelion, and push for an OTK. If they have Baronne on the field, use Mekanikle to roll over it, deal 1k plus an additional 1k from Mound. Then Use Triskelion to get any ED monster with 3k attack and you're Golden!...Nova. Convoluted? Yes. Hilarious? Absolutely.
Bros acting like Meklords are playable 💀
@@Paracelsus. Damn straight! 😁
The Synchro killers. The best way to counter them? Xyz, Fusion, Link, Effect, Pendulum and Rituals
or better yet! draw engine exodia
I find a simple Blue-Eyes is quite effective
AHEM Triskelion.
Triskellion kind of fixed that. Its a bit simple. But there's just something hillarious about pulling a giant robot tidepod ragon out of your arse and hitting the opponent for half to 2/3 of their LP *out of nowhere*
@@filipvadas7602 Asspulling is probably what Asterisk was made in honor of. 😂
I feel like if we ever get retrains/more support, they could have the equip effect and atk gain be universal for monsters special summoned frim the extra deck, and each emperor gain additional unique effects if they're equipped with a specific extra deck monster.
man, i really wish konami actually made the cards from the show instead. have the three different eggs, and have a punch of pieces of all of them. that'd be amazing
same thing with making those pieces combinable toys as well. imagine the customizability
They have in a way. In duel link we have some of the meklord parts. They blow up if a meklord is not on your field, but they give the meklord nice effects. All of them.
Turning the Meklords into goddamn Bionicles actually sounds *badass*
My brother and me would have preferred that.
Meklords in Japanese have the infinity symbol in their names. Asterisk is 3 Meklords together, 3 infinity signs, which makes up it's face looking like an asterisk
Fun Fact:
Meklords are actually *pretty strong* in Duel Links' meta as of the time of me writting this. Aporia's Skill *Meklord Refinement* also helps as it basically gives you infinite consistency as long as you have a Meklord Monster in your hand to send to the GY as cost.
Meklords: a deck IRL that was completely lobotomized into an OTK deck. Yippee.
I made a variant of Earth Machine that played Meklords, just for fun. While it’s less consistent adding a bunch or bricks in the Army’s and Triskelion, with a good hand it could actually do a lot. Opening Machina Gearframe, doing the usual combo, making Platinum Gadget then summoning Obligato gives you a lot to work with, even better if you open a way to Triskelion. If we ever get new good support, Meklords have some surprisingly good potential. Honestly Triskelion is a crazy boss, but is hard to get out due to the other monsters being pretty bad.
Yes! Finally! This is one of the archetypes I've been waiting for Nova to tackle, and it's finally here! Praise be to the GoldenNova! Now I must wait for the Machina explain video.
daily reminder that Meklords were top tier in Duel Links for a month or so.
They can still reach Legend pretty easily as of me writting this.
Ah Meklords. The one archetype that reminds of how a Yu-Gi-Oh! villain nearly killed two children...
Isn't that technically true for all Yugioh villains?
Pegasus stole Kaiba and Mokuba's souls, Bakura sent 3 teenagers to hell, Marik nearly murdered half the cast, half the GX villains did some fuckery with people's minds and/or life force etc.
I remember when I first saw meklords introduced in the anime. I was so hyped to see 5-piece multi-part monsters getting implemented outside of just exodia. When they were introduced as single piece level 1 big bosses, I remember being a little disappointed.
Several years later in a random daydream, I thought on how they could have possibly implemented multi-piece Meklords. Didn’t care about how viable they’d be, it could be the worst jank in the world, but I thought up a concept. I think what I ended up on was basically something with infinite consistency, but the with the power level being relatively mid to low. Made for a decent balance, I guess.
1. Have the higher tier parts have their anime effects, but also have the additional effect of being discardable to search out the lower tier versions in case they aren’t already on the field. The lowest tier versions could search out the cores, which could have the effect of summoning out the lowest tier versions from hand, deck, or GY upon being destroyed by card effect.
1.5. Dupe Meklord cores in your hand can have the additional effect of being able to be discarded to destroy one card on your side of the field, to proc the Core’s effect destruction floating.
2. Naming. In order to not go through lengthy card text hell on the effects of the core or the pieces, I thought it’d be fair to alter the names a bit. Instead of having the naming theme of “Meklord (wisel/granel/skiel) (part type) (version number)” (EX: Meklord Wisel Attack 1/3/5), which would require every individual card’s name to be listed out on the cores and the higher tier pieces, rearrange the name so that effect text can just list out a portion of the names for the sake of streamlining.
2.5. Cross comparability between emperors. In the anime, wisel had some pieces replaced with those from skiel. As an extension of the naming issue, it wouldn’t be practical for each piece, say, the Carrier, for example, to list out being able to tribute a Meklord carrier piece with a different name, if the name wasn’t “Meklord Carrier” with the emperor type slapped on at the beginning or the end for streamlining.
Likewise, it would be inconvenient as hell if you had to list on every card that they would be destroyed if an infinity piece wasn’t on the field, if their naming scheme wasn’t “Meklord Infinity - (Emperor type)” instead of “Meklord (emperor type) Infinity”
because i was playing ygo tag force arc v special i find it absurd to not list every granel/wisel/??? on their respective cores
Wisel isn't awkwardly waving at you, he's just arrived back in time in the middle of a Synchro format and is trying to calculate which $1,000 Synchro Deck to eat first.
Superheavy Samurai...Mannadium...Bystial...Swordsoul...Dino...so much to see, so much to do, and a zillion wonderful things to _chew!_
So...something that I just realized...the meklord Astros seem to be similar to the egyption gods in a way
How’s that may I ask
@@bibigamer502 they require three tributes...if you want to be more clear they are closer to the sacred beasts but the sacred beasts are close to the egyptian gods...just like the numbers/chaos numbers of the three main characters of zexal(101 for shark/nash), the wicked gods there was a connection in 5Ds but that's a bit of a stretch now...
In defense to the Chaos Infinity: you CAN use it if you have defense position monsters. If you already set Chaos Infinity, play a face down, activate the trap, use flip effect (if it has any), grab an army (then it was only those 3 originals), go in to Rank 4 ... it works in much slower formats (around early Pendulum era) when special summoning 10 - 50 times a turn was still unusual
As someone trying to be a Meklord main, I'm definitely all for this video 👏 👏 👏
Give tips or something because i just seem unable to play them 😭
I love the meklords, I wish more villain archetypes got better support.
Same, it sucks that Dark Magician as an engine (Yugi, the original protagonist) is broken while Dark Magician as a pure Deck (Arcana) is garbage. 😢
@@autobotstarscream765doesn't help that there best searcher excavates 3 and does nothing if you don't hit a S/T or DM himself.
I wish there are more support for those Meklord.
What's funny about the Meklords is that they are made to appear like they are so menacing against synchros thy didn't took account that using a card like Kaiba's Interdimensional Matter Transporter will be bad against the Meklords
I have an old meklord deck so I'm happy you made this video
I didn't expect the magic reference and I really enjoyed it
Me just starting a meck lord deck. You the real mvppppppppppp
My headcanon is that Cyber Dragon Infinity has the "spark"; a machine's soul if you will, of the fallen Meklord Astro Mekanikle. It helps me sleep at night.
if meklords had all the effects that the meklord parts gave them in the anime I bet they would be infinitely better
That Big O reference was rather sly sir. Respect
I only ever use Emperor Granel, he can splash into any deck with Destruction Effects (like Yubel)
20:18 Have you ever seen a bee dance?
I can’t see it as any viable deck, but I can see it becoming as a competitive anti-synchro engine. To take on threat the major synchro monsters. With a little more support that is.
fun tech i found for meklords, you can use tailor of the fickle to swap a stolen synchro from triskelion to a granel and summon it for use against its owner
Anti cards have always held a special place in my heart.
Meklord Army of Schlorping is my favorite yugioh card
So wouldn't the new Mannadium cards work with Meklords as well? Since Riumheart destorys a monster to summon itself? Thats two bodies on board along with the the effect of the field spell and orb tunners.
I cant unsee asterisks swinging skeleton necklaces😅
I wish you would make a deck im trying to make a mekkllrd machima deck but not sure what numbers to use
Please do Gouki archetype next !!
Quick question, Nova. When are we gonna get the next installment of the Nova Storyline? Or have you forgotten about that?
Hey big fan can you explain duston next I have the trap duston roller and I'm really curious about it.
concider, a continuous trap similer to dna surgery, that makes all monsters summoned from the extradeck be treated as a chosen type (fusion, syncro, xyz, or link)
The title of this one omg 😂
What is the song that begins around 1:40 it’s really cool
Did you do and in depth for Endymion?
I wish Meklords worked on Special Summoned monsters in general. I love Meklords though.
"Typical immune system stuff" "Mechanical Rhythm" Hmmmmm 🤔
YES YES YES!!!!!
No shade intended, but I swear Nova always pronounces the names of cards totally opposite the show to mess with me. "Wise-L" 😂
I DIDN'T EXPECT A XENOBLADE REFERENCE IN THE INTRO
I feel like there should be a water and fire meklord.
2:17 - You can't betray me by just invoking Fire Emblem for the sake of me leaving this comment of my outrage!
Hardest working yugituber yall
You know how some archetypes just need that one card to be playable? This one needs more than a couple..
What is a god to a non believer?!!! *Gets otk to oblivion*
Meklord triskelion: do you believe now?
They need support
They can just get their "Once per Chain" omni-negate trap card if you want a support. Instant more annoying to deal with
FINALLY! 🥲
Really wished the Yugioh 5D’s Dub didn’t end with a half assed note and I wish they added more about the falling city, because I watched the rest of it In the Sub; so why the heck wasn’t the rest of the episodes in the Dub?!
Low budget and Zexal was already airing in Japan so there was a time crunch.
@@MAni04me oh. Also what I liked about Zexal it’s that the Animation got crazier, and the Numbers are my favorite Monster Archetype!
Same reason the final season of GX was dropped. They wanted to get to the newer anime as quickly as possible. Never mind that it meant a lot of fans in the west 100% believed that Jaiden died at the end of his series and that 5DS ended in half assed way because of it.
@@filipvadas7602 and to be honest I really didn’t like Jaden anymore like I don’t like GX anymore. Because when I watch the Sub, Jaden was an asshole, we never get any romance between Alexis and Jaden, and it kinda got lazy with its plot.
I appreciate the Xenoblade reference.
Hunter cards are such an odd bunch since they just inherently demand very specific metas to be playable and even then, there’s a lot of bad hunter archetypes like OG buster blader (dragons)and Allies of Justice (light/flips).
At least for those examples, they either got better modern support or had choice cards that became sideboard all stars; mekk lords sadly seem destined to do Jack against synchros.
Today is a good day!
❤ the Xenoblade Chronicles references
It’s Cards Against Humanity, literally.
You forgot the section thing
Ok, I know they technically aren't meklords, but what about the emperor parts? You know Wisel Attack, Granel Carrier, and all the others?
as far as i know they are anime/tag force only cards...it never got printed
@@amj8031 some of them are in duel links, if that counts for anything. That's the only way I knew they existed, because I never watched the anime, nor have I played the tie-in games. Just a mention and dismissing them as useless would have been enough for me.
God I love the video but the opening. I always say it like WISE-L not Wis-el
Schlorped?
Kinda like slurped, ingested or consumed.
@@laidbackkodiak It's more like a SUCC
I blame Kaiba
triskeleon would be a very scary card if it was more generic
Consider eradicator virus.
I always perfered the anime versions
Make vylon
Hearing "Weasel" instead of "Wise-el" kinda put me off
It's pronounced "Why-Sell", not "Whistle"!
they seriously need to print better meklord support, most of the spells and traps are completely useless.
I know right most of the spell and trap are useless and wish there better spell and trap cards
Do they have any relation to the Mekk-knights and Krawlers
Nope
Synchro is useless when against the Meklords
Annoying unskippable ads midway through the video.
Never realized how many terrible meklord support cards there are 😂.
