A way to fix this archetype is just to give them a continuous or field spell which changes their effects to affect any Extra Deck monsters instead of Synchros, and new support which does that.

It's also possible that they wanted to focus more on the Army aspect, or were worried the deck would make the upcoming Xyz or Quasar builds too effective.

You know what would make Meklords interesting. You know how each series of Yu-Gi-Oh focuses on a certain type of monster. The original Yu-Gi-Oh didn't really have any, but GX had Fusions, 5Ds had Synchros, Zexel had Xyz's, Arc-V had Pendulums, and Vrains have Links. I'm saying wouldn't it be cool if with each new incarnation of Yu-Gi-Oh we have a new series of Meklords that counter that series monster type other than Synchros. Like for example if a Meklord is on the field and you opponent fusion summons a monster, target the monster and return it to the Extra Deck and special summon it's fusion materials and equip them to this card. This card gains the ATK of monsters equip to it. Something like that. Not only would that make Meklords a sorta tool box to deal with all sorts of situations, but also give them the versatility they desperately need. I'm not saying this will make Meklords viable in competitive or anything. It will just make them versatile, experimental, and much more interesting.

Mekks LITERALLY had no play outside of vs Synchro decks cuz half their effects only did anything vs synchros and they're a main deck oriented archetype which makes them already far worse than Heraldic. Idk how you could think they're in the same boat. The only thing that is remotely in common now is that they both need more support to do anything but even then all Heraldic needs is some good main deck monsters and a new boss that isn't centralized on Xyzs.

@kichiroumitsurugi43632 жыл бұрын
@@BlackBeartic229 That shows you're living in the wrong era. Okay, lemme run you briefly through why Heraldic sucked: When ABYR released, we had 2 Heraldics. One of them is currently a 3of for the archetype, and the other is absolute dogwater. They also get their Xyz there, but already on release it sucked because it was not Quick Effect. Then, Cosmo Blazer gave us Leo and Eale (and Basilisk, ugh), which added some consistency, as well as more targets for Advanced Heraldry Art. Leo is a 3of by need, not by choice, and kinda shows the problem with Heraldics - overreliance on the graveyard. Then, in LTGY, they got Number 69 - too high investment for what was basically a very bad Skill Drain. And then, they finally got good support in Amphisbaena and Number 18...buuuuut that got locked in the OCG for far too long. And only now, with the existence of Time Thief and Charged-Up Heraldry does the archetype even work Merklords had a better semblance kf playability on release, however slow they may have been, and Wisel can be seen as good. Not to mention, the fact they were Machines would pave the way for them to get easily supported by generic Machine support very easily, and when the newer Machinas came, they basically add consistency to Meklords very easily, and the addition of what is basically a 1.5 card Wisel if you open 1 of 2 3of in an engine also adds to that, on top of also being a surprisingly decent engine for Yang Zing of all things. Only bad thing about Meklords rn is the same problem as Yang Zing 'requires outside support to not brick, easily misses the timing'

Meklords were introduced in the anime, but nerfed in the TCG to the point that their effects no longer represented what they were in the anime. Eg Chaos Infinity has the same effect in the anime but Asterisk in the anime had the effect where it gained atk for each attack position Meklord the user controlled *without sending them to the GY*, so Chaos Infinity's effect was a convenient plot point to make the undubbed Jack/Luna/Leo Vs Aporia duel a tiny bit more interesting

Meklord Fortress should, to be a good field spell the archetype needs, have something along the lines of "Meklord-monsters you control are not affected by your opponent´s monster-card effects. The effects of Synchro-monsters your opponent controls are negated. If this card is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, destroy all monsters on the field." Especially the last floating effect would really help to wipe the board and potentially end with Meklords summoned thorugh their effect. Astro Mekanikle should, for being the only consistent 4k beater they have, at least be untargetable by opponent´s card effects. I think with more archetypical monsters at their disposal they could really be a force to be reckoned with, and absolutely deadly against Synchro-heavy decks.

I have a True Draco Meklord deck that does well enough - it usually destroys a monster that floats somehow when its destroyed, either by Diagram or by a True King, and then I can summon a Meklord, usually either Wisel for that spell negation or Granel for a beefy attack value. As an added plus, Master Peace with a tributed monster can attack alongside a Meklord due to being immune from the attack restriction, and Metaltron does the same thing. Master Peace also adds apt versatility via its popping effect, and Metaltron summons one of a variety of hilarious extra deck monsters. The Meklords can also be activated by using Breaksword's effect on something, usually itself or a floater, and he's usually summoned by a pair of Baobaboons.

@gamefan562 жыл бұрын
Disagree, The Emperor´s while diffrent with their 5 card gimmick is debatable whether they are any better than the TGC emperors, the Armies are identical to the TGC versions (Minus the fact they are missing the new army support the TGC received in Obligado), and the Astro Monsters had even worse summon conditions (and missing Triskellion). That and frankly the anime versions are missing out on a lot of the new support Meklords has recieved since this video came out. Of an the Anime versions might seem better because they were used in a universe where everyone and their mothers were using synchros.

I actually ran these. You'd run them along with some Scraps. Mainly Kong (which enabled turn 1 Granel(s) )and Goblin. Goblin + an Army would let you grab AFD, which would let you put more armies down and pop the Field Spell to add another copy as well as an Emperor. Back in ye olde times and pre Xyz the deck was a fair bit successful in locals especially with Dragunity being the main contender at the time. Up til Generation Force it was my main deck I played through Spring and Summer. Back then we also had power cards like Reborn and Avarice to keep doing this shit all over again, as well as 2 Bottomless (which Granel dodged and every deck was running 2 of) and Solemn Judgment, 2 Warnings, Giant Trunade, and 3 Compulse for protection. Granel was also teched into the usual Scrap decks as well, because synergy. This stuff was /impressive/ back in the day. Nowadays it wouldn't hold a candle to anything, unfortunately.

It always surprises me how much utility Scraps happen to have, I swear I used to see people splash them into EVERYTHING. That stuff with Kong is actually a pretty legit combo. As we all know, Scrap Kong is a great side card, cause it blows itself up.

If you control a Meklord: On the turn they are Special Summoned, Synchro monsters cannot declare an attack or activate their abilities. Meklord Wormhole Type Trap Card Property Continuous To activate this card destroy a Meklord monster you control. When your opponent Special Summons a non-Synchro type monster Negate the Summon and Banish that monster then Special Summon a Synchro monster from your opponent's Graveyard, Banished cards or Extra Deck ignoring Summoning conditions. If there is no target to Special Summon destroy this card and your opponent Special Summons as many Banished monsters as possible. Meklord Detonation Type Trap Card Property Normal To activate this card destroy 3 Meklord monsters you control. Destroy all non-Meklord and non-Synchro cards on the field, Banish all cards in both graveyards.

Another important thing to note is that while Meklords we're introduced midway throught the 5ds anime, the cards themselves were printed in the final 5ds set, with the rest being released as early Zexal promos.

you know what i don't get is in the anime 5ds the meklord archetype was pretty good because besides the emporer's or army monsters they also had meklord monsters that served as components to already existing meklord's like granel, skiel, or even wisel kind of like how exodia where you had the arms and legs as well as the head however in the ocg/tcg the monster components were never released only treated as anime only cards so as you can imagine we would have had further support but of course konami at the time were lazy and all they just did was give us emporers, army's, and a few spells and trap support making the archetype shitty whereas in the anime it was the most OP anti-synchro archetype

@misterbadguy73257 жыл бұрын
The actual anti-Synchro part wasn't much better in the anime. The key problem with Meklords is that their anti-Synchro strategy relies around targeting during your turn, followed by an attack boost. Taking down Synchro-based decks isn't that hard; they possess lots of high-level monsters and usually need to stack up a lengthy wombocombo to get things done, so something that either slows down summons like El Shaddoll Winda or Scary Moth, or something that fucks up high-level monsters like Evilswarm Ophion or Grave of the Superancient Organism both seriously hurt Synchros. The reason Meklords were treated as dangerous, simply put, is that their effects are a hell of a lot more dramatic than Ophion's. Meklords eat the Synchro and turn it into a massive ATK value and makes the protagonist go "OH SHIT HE HAS 7000 ATK", which they can then kill by calling out an even bigger monster. Ophion just preemptively stops them from existing.
