Master Duel Budget Builds \\ CRUSADIA OTK // Deck Profile + Combo Tutorial

[@TheDuelLogs]

This was amazing!

Heyy

[@jonlow_snow3039]

As a person who has played Crusadia for a long time, I have a recommendation for budget players for the extra deck, Link Spider. You'll only need one, and it comes with the Link Structure deck you get for free either at the beginning of the game or at some later point (idk, it just showed up for me at some point). It's useful as a method of extending in certain circumstances. The first reason, which is why I ran it initially, is an interaction with Black Garden where, if you Kaiju an opposing monster, you get a token, meaning a Kaiju, Black Garden, and a Crusadia equals full combo, even on turn one due to summoning a token to your opponent's field when you normal summon the Crusadia monster. Less useful because Master Duel has Black Garden as a SR and Black Garden was really only useful when Sky Striker was the uncontested best deck, or at least meta, but it still might be worth your consideration. The other reason, which is still relevant, is that it can allow you to play through a Nibiru. If you open Crusadia Power and your opponent uses Nibiru, you can prevent the loss of the link monster and then use the Nibiru token to extend with Link Spider. And, in rarer situations, you can just use the Link Spider to start over if you happen to have enough extenders to get to Equimax. Though the latter option does need you to have more copies of the Crusadia Links. Link Spider is not needed to play the deck and won't always be useful, but when it is, you'll be glad you ran it.

[@PsychoEditor]

Thank you for info and link spider love

[@user-nn9ex3db5y]

I usually play the decks while watching the videos and as soon as I found your comment I got hit with one 😭 and just like you said link spider would’ve saved me

[@scizor285]

Loving this series already. Especially for people who have a main account that want to play with some rogue decks.

[@treckey6563]

The new series is off to a great start already! I really liked the production quality of this one, with the mini replay at the front and the effect text on screen when you talked about it. One suggestion I would make is having a brief section towards the end where you discuss some less-budget inclusions that have great synergy with the deck, but arent necessary to play it, Nibiru would be a great example for a high rarity staple in this deck

[@JustJules250]

Agreed on the final section but specific to Crusadia Nibiru can be kind of meh. The token doesn't have an original attack so you can't gain anything from it. Without a Kaiju, you can't Nibiru for anything more than 3100 attack (without using Nibiru for links) to still be able to otk.

[@afeathereddinosaur]

Thank you Hardleg, I actually have almost all cards for this build already, so I can just go into playtesting and see if I have any extra high rarity spices to put in this deck. Maybe you could make a World Chalice deck too, making use of all the normal monster support the starter decks give us already.

[@mazsquared6676]

Thank you for actually showing a budget deck! People call their decks budget but half the cards are SR/UR's. It's understandable since they might have gotten it without paying money, but after the initial launch, you run out of gems quickly, so it's nice to see new strategies to try out that are almost free!

[@NerdySatyr]

As a returning player I really have to compliment you on how easy you make these videos to understand! Not only do you bring a fantastic amount of energy, you explain all the cards in nice and simple steps which makes it really easy to follow and learn the deck. Great stuff! Really look forwards to future entries!

[@MattAnd]

Editing was great on this, loved how it popped the card text up for a second as you were explaining it!

[@RealKingChief]

Wow! This was great! I do have to say that this is a really nice deck. I also like your pacing and style in this video especially in the demonstration part on EDOPro because you don't try to explain everything in a front-loaded way. Instead, you save many things for later when we'll see it and you just show us the building blocks step by step. This allowed me, personally, to piece it together for myself better too. Here's to a nice series!

[@Badbufon]

i love the new format, it's really well paced and not too long. and yet, i want to keep watching. showing replays instead of real time footage improved things considerably. i hope this help you grow your channel bro, you deserve it.

[@JustPixelNoIDontWantAnyNumbers]

btw, in case anyone reads this 2 years after the fact, if you are unsure about what to do going first, and maybe dont have any good extra-deck monsters to build outisde of the Crusadia ones, do the combo as normal, but search for the Crusadia Trap (not crawler) which you can play as a one-of in place of pretty much anything. The trap will allow you to summon a reclusia on the opponents turn, giving you a pop on top of a potential negate with equimax, depending on what your opening hand was.

[@chaosbug7]

Definitely a great avenue to tackle for Master Duel content. I don’t think too many people focus on budget builds, and I can see this being very successful

[@halodragonmaster]

My opponent: *Attempts to exist.* Me playing Crusadia: *I missed the part where that's my problem*

[@RealKingChief]

*I'm going to put some dirt in your eye*

[@empressivemagic]

Yo! Your old Crusadia OTK What a Deck was what convinced me to build this myself in Master Duel, so it's cool you made a video on it! You even managed to add some cool extra spice in the extra deck I never would've considered, like Crazy Box. The Parallel Exceed inclusion was real smart too, opening up the extra deck possibilities and making up for the loss of the Gizmek Kaku I was so fond of in the old profile. I personally elected to add Pot of Desires because consistency was a bit rough even with 3 of every Crusadia monster, but other than that, it's been a blast!

[@giftimusprime]

This is genuinely the sort of series that master duel needs. Lots of the other deck profiles I've seen need so many URs I'd have to sell my organs

[@HawaiianForgeStudios]

I google every sort of combination for budget decks, what do I get? "F2P If you buy this deck on a new account with tons of URs BUDGET BUILD" decks. This is a budget build I needed for all the Ns and Rs I have lying around.

[@twizzla1139]

You'll always be my Yu-Gi-Oh dad in my heart.

[@MattAnd]

This was great! Would love to see a long term series of this, especially because fun budget decks would be great to use in Master Duel alongside a full competitive deck and you always make fun decks!

[@gojocatoru27]

As entertaining as this video was, it was honestly one of the best videos to explain how a deck works. Like instead of just explaining combos and reading cards you explained what the goal of the deck is and how each card contributes to that goal

[@Neotrinity7]

This is awesome! Also yes, I would definitely like to see a stronger version even if it's not budget friendly, so there's something to work towards as well! It'd be nice (although it takes more work on your end) if each deck in this series had 2 variants, a budget and an upgraded version, so it's possible to see the ceiling of the deck. Thank you as always for the awesome content!

[@Polar-ized]

Hey I just found the channel and you make great content, cool seeing someone who played YGO sims like you get a bunch of attention because of all the new master duel players hopping into the scene. Love the stuff and great job, I'lll def be coming back for more!

[@StarkMaximum]

Excellent video, Joe. Thanks for the budget brews! Crusadia is one of my favorite decks ever, so I'm more than excited to see you work on this more and fancy it up to get it up the ladder if you have the time for it!

[@Stygian_Anon]

Long time lurker coming out of the wood work for this one. I am having a great time climbing the Crusadia Ladder and laughing in the face of Maxx C and ill timed Ash Blossoms. Nothing has made me happier than smashing decks that have bodied my HERO deck. I'd love to see a small continuation of other cards you might recommend for those who want to go further with it.

[@SmilePecoSmile]

Returning to this game after nearly 20 years of not playing. Finally, a deck that speaks to me. Thank you.

[@spyro2002]

An underrated crusadia card I'd recommend as a one off for going first is crusadia vanguard. If you go first you can get it with regulex and on the opponents turn when you activate it you get to trade a monster equimax points to with reclusia whose effect will trigger and let you pop a card. Plus it forces them to attack your links which might catch them off guard

[@gildartz0097]

avramax is dope too

[@markchang2964]

Hardleg. All I can say is thank you! This deck is killing at Plat 1! Keep in mind, my list is a bit more expensive (maxx c, desires), but the core is good. Once again thanks!

[@folderbloat7561]

handling the existence of master duel clashing with your previous content like a pro. MBT said it best. "that is the weird thing about Hardleg; he just doesn't make bad videos."

[@markpark9951]

Awesome idea for a series ! I have been looking for some fun and easy decks to make in master duel, please do more budget builds :)

[@CoralPallet]

5:10 "plus im not going to read them for you because Im not your dad" somehow that killed me xD Its a very impressive, cheap and nice profile to start with. Im glad you share it! And Im very jealous that equimax is both SR and has an animation while Geomathmech final Sigma is ultra and has nothing. And while I cant recommend anything as cheap I did find a secret challenge to equip 100 cards on duels. It only gives the title showoff :D

[@sammin101]

Thanks Hardleg! I’m currently saving my UR points for staples, so budget decks like this let me open packs and keep things fresh while I work on my other decks. 20 packs got me close enough to a playable deck, and got me 1 UR closer to finishing something else. So far I’m getting the hang of crusadia in solo mode, and having a good time

[@Sailing10cjm]

Great start to this series! Love to see some fun decks amid the oppressive meta ones

[@ttarzzxz3711]

Cool deck, maybe you can try megalith if you don't have a deck ready. The deck is insanely cheap, and you can add some of the drytrons that work very well, I still don't understand why megalith is so cheap

[@Diarmuid4]

Because its super hard, which is ironic considering their rocks 🪨

[@ttarzzxz3711]

@@Diarmuid4 the only Sr is aratron, at least he has a cool summon. It's also wierd that the drytrons are cheap, the ritual spell and XYZ are UR, and Alpha is SR(the native rituals are cool but not necessary). I tried the deck yesterday, tho it felt wierd to have the timer go below 300, and I wasn't even playing slow

[@IrrelevantOaf]

Megaliths are super budget friendly, since the solo mode hooks you up with Hagith, Och, and Phaleg. The only SR is Araton too, so it isn't even difficult to build and it can easily be splashed in Adamancipators/Block Dragon if you don't mind forking over a couple more SR's.

[@RaineBans]

megaliths suck tho

[@luminous3558]

@@IrrelevantOaf The solo mode does nothing for you, all it gives you is Ns which you could craft yourself anyway. Solo modes are either incredibly generous like the world chalice, shiranui and glad beast ones or really stingy like all the others. Wouldve been great to get at least the 3 SRs from solo like they did with solitaire, tamer editor and the entire world chalice archetype + WL succession.

[@brandonnelson290]

Thank you for this budget deck idea. I literally just started this deck build, because many ppl don't run it. I think I've only seen this deck once. I like decks like these that many ppl don't run into the ground. I would definitely appreciate a more serious deck build. Will check others out in the meantime, but I like your builds the best. Just finished Megalith. Looking forward to trying them out. Keep up the good work

[@IsaacBelf]

I can tell this is going to be a banger of a series.

[@NJoCaulfield]

Ah, Crusadia. I used this deck to climb through everything in Link Evolution when it came out. It's a deck that does one thing very well, and while the deck hasn't evolved much since release, it's still an efficient OTK engine. Glad it's cheap in MD.

[@JustJules250]

Love the series and the deck choice, great pick for anyone to get started. Just a couple "corrections" in the combo section from a seasoned Crusadia player: (Assuming you don't have several monsters to attack into) to do the OTK it isn't just any 2, 1 of the two has to either be Maximus or Draco. If you have Arboria + Reclusia, you will need another extender. Without you can get to Equimax with a negate, but no big number. Also which one you normal summon is actually very important. If you only have Maximus and 1 other, you want to normal Maximus so you don't use up his special to trigger Magius. Also you generally want to keep Arboria in the grave as much as possible, which will guide your order.

[@MrKevincraver]

Thanks very helpful 👌

[@LeonaDX]

Excellent video! I was looking for a second deck to build without blowing through all my gems, and this is something I hadn’t thought about.

[@lordofinnistrad8757]

Unironically one of my favorite archetypes. Nice to see you playing it!

[@JJPPRRMM]

I haven't had the chance to play master duel yet for Reasons and even then I have pretty much zero knowledge of actual competitive yugioh but I don't care, seeing Big Number is always a joy for me and this video was just incredible! I would love to see you either expand a bit more on this deck (as you said there was still more to experiment with if it wasn't budget) or just a video on some other Big Number deck

[@marinperkovic2117]

This looks like the perfect deck for farming Solo Mode as quickly as humanly possible

[@slayinderp7501]

This deck singlehandedly got me out of gold and into plat. Thank you o' sage of sturdy legs.

Great formatting and pace for the new content!

[@SlimeMagexx]

Wow this was super entertaining! The decks looks sick!

[@TimPoultney]

Love this deck! It's bonkers. I understand that True Draco, Pacifis and maybe Gokipole are also possible at low rarity, but I'm excited to see what else is available at the lower rarities.

[@ungulatemanalpha]

If you want a more competitive Crusadia list, I've been brewing an Adventurer DPE Crusadia deck ever since Grand Creators was first revealed in the OCG - having Equimax point to a Gryphon Rider or an Adventurer Token that you summoned for free, or even Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, makes the OTK that much easier; you can play Sangan and link it off with Almiraj for more starters; and the combination of Gryphon Rider + DPE gives the deck some legs to go first if it's forced to!

[@Amergal]

I love this sm better than the last one. I also recommend you cover majespecters and world chalice in later episodes because majespecters are all under SR and majespecter tempest (there version of solemn strike) and plus everyone gets the world chalice cards from the solo missions so it'd be very accessible.

[@gabekennis9610]

LOVE THE NEW SERIES! Really cool concept!

[@Earthbound524]

One video that could honestly be extremely helpful is a list video of Normal and Rare cards that people should get thats generic. There is so many amazing cards in that slot that you dont even need to use your SR or UR points to craft those

[@XrayTheMyth23]

This was spectacular! Can't wait for more MD content from you hardleg!

[@DeepCDiva]

Budget build, relatively simple lines and BIG NUMBER!? Hell yeah i'm building this Really appreciate the video, thanks Mr. Leg

[@colinwhelan2099]

This was an awesome video. Great info, still funny, and ultra high quality editing.

[@enlongjones2394]

Something I noticed recently, that’s relevant to this deck. World Legacy Succession is a useful Monster Reborn-type card that works well for Crusadias (summons a monster from the GY to a zone a link monster points to). Thing is, the card is SR rarity… except not really. In the solo mode, the second set of World Legacy story stages (the ones relating to Mekk-Knights) straight-up gives you a playset of World Legacy Succession. So it’s pretty much free to get, without spending any crafting points. Just thought that would be useful to mention, since it’s relevant to this being a budget deck.

[@Spiritsteel8]

This looks pretty solid, thanks for giving great advice for us Hardleg

[@edlong00]

Absolutely love it! My only thought is in that little section before the replays when your like "if you've got some extra gems try avermax" you could do a not budget version of the deck with all the best cards with no explanation needed if nothing more then a screen shot and be like "pause it if you want the mega version"

[@ParmMannREBORN]

This deck is both very fun to play and after a bit of a struggle got me into Platinum! Really good deck and when the plan fails having to improvise can be so much fun

[@SeraSmiles]

This was super fun, especially as someone whose main deck is rogue & mostly low rarity (metalfoes) the idea for a series about climbing to platinum with low rarity decks was a great one imo

[@yourboiFluff]

this deck got me so many gems i was able to make it non budget and have more combos for different situations and also adding going first capabilities tysm

[@aidanyoung9133]

I can confirm that Odd-Eyes Meteorburst is a useful option. Recently played this against a Utopia player who managed to reborn his Kaijued Utopia, and the Meteorburst made it work. And something else you didn’t mention: when the deck wins, you usually get a lot of rewards for the win because you can often hit for over 10K.

[@verymelonman12]

I'm using this deck right now. It's a ton of fun and pretty interesting as well. Thanks for the deck.

[@HardlegGaming]

:D

[@netcat22]

This was really fun! I'd love to see more underdog decks get some time to shine.

[@mrgoncas71]

Here's some extra cool options: If you don't need to search crusadia spell traps, Geonator Transverser (N) can be used as a link 2 that outs cards without targeting, and who protects herself and whatever you summon under her, letting you outplay some boardstates. You could even steal a kaiju, allowing you to kaiju an extra time! ROTA comes for free in the solo mode and searches Arboria, making it a 16th crusadia, and she's balelynx which is cool. Book of Moon (R) baits negates, and Swords of Concealing Light (R) outs entire lyrilusc tribrigade boards for example, which you can pierce through with your Crusadia Leonis

[@arjanzweers6542]

Looks like a good start for a show. My only concern is how many decks are good and budget on Master Duel to allow you to keep making this show

[@TheLetterJ0]

I've been playing this deck in Gold and Platinum, and it is a lot of fun. I am shocked by how often I manage to draw hands that don't quite brick, but leave me without Equimax pointing to enough monsters to OTK. It can also have a surprisingly difficult time OTKing into an empty board, which has come up more often than I would have expected.

[@JustJules250]

If you can afford Mekk Knights help round out hands and otk an empty board. And Kaiju Slumber has a play for that too, as well as being generally useful.

[@lstheprodigy7761]

[@scizormaster6624]

HARDLEG YOU MADLAD I've been playing a slightly more rarity-bumped build since day 1 with Maxx "C" and the Rainbow Neos package, and this deck TAKES NAMES Like seriously, there are games that I've won that I've had no right winning, just because Leonis+Maximus+Equimax+Power is super fucking cracked and sometimes just wins you games out of nowhere, even if they negate your Neos Fusion or other extenders The fact that this deck chain-blocks like crazy is insane too, sometimes there's just no good point to activate something like Ash Blossom I would HIGHLY recommend this deck to anyone who wants to give it a shot. It also incentivizes you to learn the metagame well so you can tailor your build to what's popular

[@emilchaos1489]

Great video idea, continue these Joe. Hope they pop off

[@XmortoxX1990]

I did my homework and crafted two competitive decks (Pendulum Magician and Tri-Brigade/Zoodiac) but I almost out of resources obviously, so most of my new deck will looks like this. Thanks Harley for this series, hoping to see a budget Pendulum list soon

[@blackoutsampler9993]

For Budget Build Ideas, there's always the Left and Right Magician's Hands + Foolish Burial/w Goods + Magician's Restage. It's like a budget IO, and since the two most common decks out there are Eldlich and Sky Strikers, they're really good at swinging the grind game back in your favor. I've been using it in my Witchcrafter build, and it seems to be doing pretty well. It helps that everything but the Foolish Burial/w Goods is Normal Rarity, and the FBG is only a SR and pretty generic to boot. Witchcrafters themselves are pretty budget friendly, as only Aruru is the only UR of the deck, and she can be played as a One-of just fine due to how easy it is to search her. The triple SR Witchcrafter Creation is a bit of a big hit for a rogue at best deck though. Also, would you recommend triple World Legacy Succession added to your build? You get 3 for Free in Solo mode and it probably could be used to either recover from a Nibiru or extend even further should you need to.

[@april_brock6173]

A friend of mine and I had a challenge to try and build decks to play against each other using no srs or urs as you can imagine theirs exceedingly limited options for no sr/ur decks that would have any chance of competitive success given how the game is designed around giving each archetype at least a handful of both BUTTT we did do alot of research into what decks would come the closest to playable without srs and urs and im going to post my research sense it might be helpful in giving you ideas for budget decks in the future. Everything listed below is talking about the decks in the context of no SR or higher cards even though sometimes my phrasing doesnt reflect that. Phantasm spiral: is completely available at sub SR so it could be a good budget option. - Hero: Hero is missing basically every relevant main deck monster and most of it's good extra deck but it does have all the classic vanilla + vanila fusions and xtra hero infernal devicer +, Anki, koga,dian, and all those are pretty good cards. You might be able to throw together a masked hero deck or use XHID to do like thunder giant turbo??? - Black Wing: You'll be missing the blackwing boss monsters and black whirlwind but I could see the deck still working as a generic synchro engine. - battling boxer: you'll be missing your archatypal xyz but otherwise everything is available at common and R and it can be a decent rank 4 tool box if you can find playable rank 4's - GAGAGA/ZUBABABABA: I have no idea what this deck does but they have almost all the cards they used to be tier one in duel links so this might have potiental. - HAT (hand artifact traptrick): Fire hand and ice hand are both available, so is most of the traptrick cards, and most of the artifact cards you'll be ruining it super sub optimally but it seems very runnable at sub SR - Marincess: I have no idea what this deck does but I dueled someone in gold once who kicked my ass using this and every card she used in that duel is available at sub sr so maybe potential. - Burning Abyss: No dante beatrice or scarm but otherwise the deck is almost entirely intact meaning it would be an exceptionally consistant way of putting out exactly 1 rank 3 a turn. Plus access to virgil and fire lake which might be the best removal available at sub sr. - Magnet Warrior: okay you wont have access to any of your boss monsters, or delta who is an absolutely critical consistency card BUT you will have access to the magnet warrior feild spell which is completely insane in low power formats and I would consider running the deck for that alone. No idea how you could make it work, but I do see it as having potiental. - D/D/D: this deck lacks all of its best boss monsters plus contract with the gate. BUT it does still have both swamp kings,lamia kepler, and most importantly purple armageddon who is a VERY good burn card. AND Contract with Eternity, Contract with the Witch, and CRUSH CARD virus which can lead to a suprisingly competent d/d/ control build. - Toons: The deck has all of its monsters but is unfortunately missing table and contents which really hurts consistancy but I could see this having potiental. - Chaos: You wont have access to alot of the better chaos monsters in the game, but you will have access to a few classics such as darkflare, light pulsar, chaos sorcerer, and the lightray monster all at sub SR - hieratic:I have no idea if this is playable, the deck already suffers from consistency issues and it looses its searcher with the no sr/ur restriction but otherwise the deck is almost completely in tact and could potentially be a good way of turboing out rank 6s - Gishiki: I have no idea what this deck does but they seem to have like all their cards plus salvage - Gladiator Beasts: you can play this deck almost exactly how it was played in its hay day. - metalfoes/majespecter/pendulum: Similar to heros all the best cards available to pendulum are unavailable but pendulum cards have so much inherent synergy and theirs so many of them that theirs almost certainly still something playable hidden in the rough. Majespecters for example have almost all of their cards. - Fire Fist: I have no idea what this deck does but they have almost all their cards ar sub SR - Six Samurai: I have no idea what this deck does except make exactly shien and set duel weild. you wont have shien but you do have duel wield and basically everything but gateway. - Aromage: I have no idea what this deck does in the tcg but it has almost everything it had in duel links to be a competitive threat back in the day. - Ghostrick: this deck has almost everything it had back in its prime which could be quite strong if you were confident you didnt need to worry about links. you might be able to do something with ghostricks and nurse burn maybe??? - constellar: No archatypal boss monsters but EVERY main deck card is legal making this a great option for xyz spaming. - Alien: I have no idea what this deck does but they have every card that they had in duel links when the deck was tier 1 in that game, so they might be playable. Anyways that's the culmination of all my research so far, hope it helps :) I dont think ANY of these would be good enough to exist at high level play but they all have some potential without any SRs/URS so I expect they would see the most improvement from only a couple high rarity card additions.

[@Excellsion]

Thanks homie.

[@luminous3558]

Something to include if you feel like upgrading the deck to have a turn 1 play is a Halqifibrax auroradon combo like the one MBT used in his Synchron eldlich video. Would be 3 URs and 2 SRs to end on Borrel Savage and Herald of Arclight. Same combo as the otk: 2 crusadias > make magius > summon crusadia to the zone to search arboria> make regulex> summon arboria(search with regulex to bait ash)> make halq > get deskbot 001> make auroradon> special deskbot 001 from grave> tribute auroradon and a token to summon O-lion from deck> make borrelload savage dragon with 2 tokens and olion> get another token from olions effect> make arc light with 001 and token. If you hard draw arboria you don't even have to make the regulex and can search back up for next turn.

You are onto something here in this series

This was a great video and I'm looking forward to more in this series! Perhaps a Giant Ballpark deck? Giant Ballpark, Shiny Black "C" Squadder, Neo Bug, etc. are all N or R.

Very informative, im gonna give this a try

[@HardlegGaming]

Good luck! Let me know how it does.

Nice what also makes this deck super budget is that you can get a ton of support cards from the solo mode.
