Introduction

Mekk-Knights are an archetype found in both Cosmic Mechanical Entities and Star-Studded Futures that focuses on special Summoning themselves when 2 or more cards are in the same column. With the exception of the 2 Level 4 Knights, all the other ones require 2 cards in the same column to Special Summon themselves, and have different effects when Summoned. The deck tries to either set up a board consisting of cards that negate Monsters / Spells / Traps that are activated in the same column of Mekk-Knights going first or break boards going second.

Hey, I'm xLust, a Konami Judge and Competitive TCG player and I play the deck in Master duel and the TCG, I will go over the cards, the playstyle and some combos and matchups during this guide.

Main Deck Monsters

Mekk-Knight Purple Nightfall x 3, Mekk-Knight Blue Sky x 2-3

They are key to the consistency of your deck and are cards you always want to open.

Mekk-Knight Indigo Eclipse x1-2

Indigo Eclipse, also known as the shifty boy, is important because its a Level 8 and it gives you the ability to move any Mekk-Knight into a different column, freeing up a column to Summon another Mekk-Knight. This is also the setup to your biggest payoff (Loading... ) and is crucial for going first builds of the deck. If your going second you can cut this card down to 1 if you want more space for Tech Cards.

Girsu, The Orcust Mekk-Knight x1

This is the card you want to search with Blue and Purple, and is also the main Normal Summon of the deck. On Summon it foolishes your 1 copy of Loading... or Loading... , depending on which one you wish to run. Its second effect, allows you to Summon a Token on either players field. This Token not only sets up a column for you since you can then Link off Girsu and the Token into a Loading... the in same column as the Token you spawned, but also gives your Loading...
