Notes & Combos

*** Submitted before banlist implementation, so don't ask me how this fares in the Bystial meta.

Please do not play this!! The climb was horrible. By the end, the only thing keeping me going was the need to complete the journey. I don't know what happened after the WCQ, but going second seems a lot worse than before. Or maybe I just had bad hands? I genuinely don't know how people play into some of these boards with a go-first deck that doesn't carry the board breakers that blind OTK decks do.

If you want to climb without a meta deck or some anti-meta floodgate turbo deck, just play 8-Axis or Numeron. Saw a few in M3-M2, so they must be working.

Anyway, check my May submission for more details: https://www.masterduelmeta.com/top-decks/diamond-i/may-2023/mekk-knight-crusadia/cydver/34CWu

Some notes:

  1. A whole lot more stun decks than last season, so Red Reboot is back in. At 2x too - that should tell you how often I needed it.
  2. 3x Pot of Desires to try and reach deep for backrow destruction, etc.
  3. 2x Indigo because I realized the empty board OTK was more often on when people passed after I chose to go second. This is the classic one with Indigo attacking first from under Equimax, then shifting into one of Equimax's zones (or the other way round). Not 3x because I still want Blue and Purple for unique names to reduce HOPT wastage and because Blue is naturally preferable to Indigo in most cases (leaves a body on the field while searching Indigo).
  4. Same ED as before. Once again, Lib cannot be summoned in this list. I just keep her in there for World Legacy representation. Brute Enforcer just for the 2 arrows - nothing fancy. Only need 9-10 of the ED monsters.
  5. I really wanted to play Evenly Matched because of all the massive boards and stun decks everywhere, but this list has no midrange gameplan. I would encourage World Legacy enthusiasts to figure out a way to make the World Legacy engine reliable in this shuffler- and Shifter/Fissure-infested environment because Evenly solves a lot of problems going second.

Can't think of anything else, brain is dead. Just ping in Crusadia channel if you have questions.

No replays needed really, it's just Crusadia OTK. Win if you open the outs, scoop if not. I may or may not upload a video talking about some things in further detail, but I don't want to open Master Duel for a while.
