BEATING Tier 1 like NO OTHER! - MEGALITH | YuGiOh! Master Duel - WCS

So for this WCS, with the majority being on a Snake-Eye variant or something anti-meta, I decided to start with something more flavourful, Megalith. And in this video, we'll showcase their rock solid performance in the lower leagues of the WCS, so sit back and join us!

The World Championship Series has always been one of the most prestegious events in Master Duel. However, since I rarely have the time to fully commit (got a live next to Master Duel / RUclips), I just play whatever I feel like playing and this time it has been Megalith. When you've been around this channel for a little while, then you know that I am fond of Ritual summoning as I believe it is the most jank way of summoning monsters. So why not play a deck that is ritual summoning a bunch and take on the meta? Exactly!
However, for some reason, I mostly encountered going second Mikanko. That seems to be the prime deck to climb in the lower brackets of these events. Anyway, going to think about what I will be playing next. Have a nice weekend!

What is your favourite summoning mechanic?

[@Pf4nni]

What about plunder megalith?
I've seen a decklist on ygoprodeck, but I'm having a hard time figuring megalith out

[@cognitivegrub0]

Hmm... that would be interesting, haven't heard of it before. I'm very fond of Plunders (and Megalith), so I will look into it. At first glance, the Plunder locking might be annoying to deal with. Hoping it will not be too severe of a limitation for this to work. Thanks for letting me know!
Edit: I think I have seen the list, it is the one also combined with Runick and Plunder, right? Just by seeing the list I am not at all impressed. The way he has build his Megalith engine... triple Hagith when you only need 2 (and since his only search target is Unformed, you might just get away with playing 1) , only 2 Ophiel, no Bethor, no S:P. (prob too expensive for the TCG). Also, I believe that someone calculated that you need 15 Runick quick-plays (in a 40 card deck) to make it consistent, he is playing 12 which is not optimal. Plays two Fountains (I know, it is a TCG list) but no Hugin. Lastly, he is relying on Emblem to move into his Plunder ED monsters and is not playing the field spell, and the field spell is where most of Plunder's recursion is coming from.
TLDR: it is a weird list with lots of inconsistencies, still interesting to improve upon though.

[@Pf4nni]

@@cognitivegrub0 That's lots of things I wasn't aware of.
Just thought it was a cool deck idea and that you'd probably know what to make of it.

[@cognitivegrub0]

@@Pf4nni Definitely cool in theory, worthy enough to be tested (especially when running close to optimal ratios). I do think in practice it might dissapoint, but hey, that is what testing is for! I'm still very happy that you shared it with me, so thanks for that!

[@wzhSmart]

Nice. You can try dryton version too.

[@cognitivegrub0]

Absolutely! I love Drytron, but I wanted to start with a 'pure' version (as far as you can call it pure with the Impcantations - which I am definitely not sold on). Next to Drytron, I also have my eye on Magikey, to keep it quite spicy.

[@Goku-zu3rk]

​@@cognitivegrub0 magikey is amazing in drytron

[@cognitivegrub0]

@@Goku-zu3rk Absolutely!

[@Goku-zu3rk]

@@cognitivegrub0 Did you try out a little meklord engine? It also works surprisingly well and has good synergies if you know which to put in.

I played megalith+adamicaptor before, and now I play megalith+impcantation+dogmatika+branded in ocg card game, not in md
I'm a big fans in megalith deck, and I keep do "cpr" on my megalith deck 😂😂
