This dude is a genius. He really knows his deck, holy shit, that Galaxy Cyclone and Waking the Dragon thing.

[@deletethis7848]

The absolute madman himself 10/10

[@irvinvaldes6453]

This is by far one the most creative deck profile i seen

[@darkstarmkv]

It's based on an old anti meta OCG build. Pure mekk knight wasn't possible until the Morning star and Memories got released.

[@lucidlullaby894]

Farfa kept memeing “this board plays around mekk knights”, *but look who got top 32*

[@RegiRuler]

The meme is bringing up someone NOT playing around it, especially in formats where they don't exist (like goat).

[@zest7812]

@@chrischang9355 It actually hurt them quite a bit. Orcust went from being a top 2 deck representation wise to line top 5 and keep in mind in the OCG they still have Bardiche.

I was rooting for this guy and also the altergeist player that also managed to get top 32

[@PeterOnTheBass]

I played this man at the Catskill region during the 3rd round and it was incredible. Great guy and really smart player. Congrats man

Everyone at me locals calls me crazy, thank you sir!

I played it so much people knew to make me go first.

[@ernestpollard4640]

I wanna give a shout out to Shannon for doing his thing!!! The madman use to run game in the shops in Fayetteville, NC. Where he use to play against some dude playing anti-meta...gave him a run for his money on more than one occasion.

[@ronaldo65ful]

It’s nice to see mekk knights be up there 😭😭😭😭

[@krenze1164]

Thanks for playing really pure. I'm a mekk-knight player myself, and i searched for a few pure builds. All decklists i found include like 3 purple, 2 blue, 1 indigo and all invoked things

[@greygravesVT]

As a person who has been playing Mekk Knights since they came out, I’m so proud of u dude!!!😝😝

[@hardcore476]

Man this just proves the world Legacy decks are awesome at least most of them

[@phobass]

they really are. I made a fully functional Chalice, Mekk, and orcust.

[@hardcore476]

@@phobass I have a question for you is World Legacy World chalice a good addition to orcus in your opinion to search monstrosity

[@DrDrao]

I remember I used to play going first mekk way back when, I played triple iblee because it was 2 columns in 1 card.

[@RegiRuler]

It's still really good going second. It forces altergeist, heavenly spheres, and orcust.

[@AMKVII]

its also a good anti nibiru measure

@@emreozer9469 Makes sense. Still worse than mermaid because it doesn't pull an iblee from deck, but for all intents and purposes it's almost as good. I'm an idiot.

[@maxdemjancik6676]

Why does he look like tiki barber

[@josetrinidad4977]

I have played this deck since the beginning I’m happy to see this madman got the top with pure 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@narutokiubissj2]

Im at 7:50 and i gotta say i really like this build. Some of the tech choices and interactions are fantastic. Probably gonna retool my own deck after im done with finals

[@DarkFireBlade25]

I'm starting to notice that people who top with rogue strategies have been playing their decks for a good year or 2. Rather impressed.

[@jared3205]

To be fair, most people playing meta decks choose whatever they believe the best deck to be and play that. When the meta changes, they change accordingly. Most players who use rogue decks tend to stick with a deck for a while.

[@Rene-ij1ut]

I used Avram x3 and rescue rabbit, summon 2 Avram, link one with rabbit, Morning star, effect then link it with Avram and had Spectrum Supreme ready

[@MargudnRoboter]

Rabbit does not stay on the field if you use it´s effect you know?

[@Rene-ij1ut]

@@MargudnRoboter that's why I mentioned Morning star's effect, i add Succession to my hand and get something else back. Yeah it's risky but that's why I used two copies of Succession

It’s also makes it possible to open multiple vanillas 🤮

[@justinworkman5482]

Okay. Im actually going to play my mekk knights this week. Ive been building for a long time and big rock and super poly got me shook so I havnt been playing it.

[@Skasaha_]

Avramax is way weaker if you summon it off Waking the Dragon, as it must be properly Link summoned to have targeting protection, the attack magnet effect and the spin on removal effect.

[@GGallade]

In my honest opinion, i think its better to bring out Borrelload with it because its has alot of great disruption along side the power of stealing.

[@axics2936]

Best New Format Deck in my Opinion And shannon is the GOD of Mekk Knights and i love this deck so much its so much Fun

[@iamgirsu908]

A cool card is shade brigadine cuz its a column for a mekk knight, helps against there Can only be one to make phoenix, can makw link spider etc

[@cedrickporcena15]

My actual hero !!! Mekk Knights !

Mekk knights are amazing. Have loved them since release

[@baneoffools8053]

Try out wattkinetic puppeteer with this deck, it’s so good

[@TheNewKG]

I’ve always loved mekk knights, I feel like extravagance is the way to go tho.

[@RegiRuler]

Extra deck is too important for them.

[@TheNewKG]

RegiRuler lol no it isn’t.

[@RegiRuler]

@@TheNewKG that's a matter of opinion. You also can't use it to enable columns or use other draw cards the deck likes to use.

[@superzenmodeman]

TheNewKG Mekk Knights use their ED quite a lot for plays, especially a variant like this.

[@insaneglitchxd287]

Dude legit, the extra deck is mandatory. The deck has no real combo potential other than mild board spam without the Ed. You would at most get like 2 maybe 3 mekk knights on board and that would be it without Ed.

[@kallumnufc50]

I would love to play him

Tilted Toast ipiria is literally a better card 😂

[@diegoalonzo5584]

How much would this cost to make?

[@Mastercutlery01]

What was the Galaxy Package he mentioned? I know Cipher Dragon but couldn’t make out the other two?

[@pepsiman2632]

I may be a bit too late but the three are the original Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon, Galaxy-Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon, and Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Blade Dragon

[@internetmovieguy]

3:10 What? You can’t set a quick play and activate it the same turn?

[@CallMeNevermore]

"You can't do that with quick plays, obviously"

[@juliantowell155]

i play mekk knights

[@RegiRuler]

Mad props to the dude but no iblee? It can absolutely carry matchups, guaranteed column (and better than most column creators because it's one for blue). I also think 1 orange is generally worth running if only for the ability to dump your hand on your opponent's turn in some gsmestates. This is an insignificant comment compared to iblee though, and I play a Scars.

[@pablofernandezgonzalez9473]

waking the dragon on avramax? it is trash if its not link summoned, probably applying wrong ruling there

[@shannonlongbaxter7634]

Only summon it for otk purposes

[@fidibus4290]

everytime something like this tops, I feel like it devalues the event. I mean how the flying fuck does this top? people must really be too stupid to read cards and adapt their playstyle.

[@yukicraft3210]

If you have no normals, why wouldn’t he run Invoked? More bang for your buck, and pseudo recursion every turn as opposed to just a +1 draw off an unsearchable 2 of.

[@ASMRbyJIO]

Yukicraft invokes is terrible and it loses to thunder really bad and drawing the fusion spell is a brick, In addition he’s playing a blind second deck he just wanted to otk most of the time

[@richardmann8448]

TheCosplay-Magician but there aren’t as many thunder dragons as there are orcust and sky Stryker

[@richardmann8448]

TheCosplay-Magician furthermore, invokes preferably opt to go 2nd as well

[@yukicraft3210]

Richard Mann exactly what I’m thinking. I get not wanting to run it cause of thunder, but wouldn’t that matchup be semi-difficult to begin with in pure mekk anyway? And if consistent OTKs in blind 2nd is what you’re looking for, aliester baits an Ash or imperm, then you can still make Almiraj. If there’s no hand trap, you get a free morning star + Purgatrio from the almiraj in grave, or any fires opp may have burned

[@shannonlongbaxter7634]

@@yukicraft3210 not only is invoked more prone to lose to handtraps( lancea being one of the most popular for orcust as well, which does nothing to pure mekks) but it also cannot put up unbreakable boards the way pure does when you dont otk...

[@RR3DSceptyr]

I've wished to ask, either Shannon or you, Cimo: I've been trying out Mekk-Knights myself, in light of the new banlist, and was wondering - would World Gears and a couple of World Crowns work in something like this? I mean only in place of the Black Luster Soldier Link.
