How good are Mekk-Knights?

[Energon Vlada]

Hello everyone, I'm a returning player, haven't played since Synchros came out. I got interested into Mekk-Knight Archetype after completing entire solo campaign. From what my friend told me, they said it's hard to play, which I don't mind investing more time into learning a deck.

My question is, how good is it in the current meta? Is it worth picking up? Thank you in advance for answering!

Rouge Tier at best. The biggest issue is Mekk-Knight Girsu is at 1 in MD and OCG.
He is basically your only turn 1 option to start making your oppressive board of backrows with secrets, wispers and key. Keeping in indigo eclipse so that you can move them around in case of the opponent trying to activate something like Lightning Storm

With Girsu at one you have to either open with him with luck or some how fetch him w/no monsters on the field on turn one.

Are there any support archetype or search effect I could use to bring him onto the field?

The only way you can(that I am aware of) is getting Purple Nightfall out onto the field first, then use its effect to banish and search MK Girsu.
Then you'd have to hope you have Blue Sky in your hand or something so that you can go into it once you've used the token and itself to link climb from Linkuriboh to Lib.

There are variants outside of pure and that's Invoked Mekk-Knights, being all light atts you can easily just go into Meccaba for Omni negates in additon to your backrow.

I see, thank you again! I'll keep that in mind when I collect enough crafting materials.

They are certainly viable so go for it, it's a fun archetype. My strongest deck is a combination of Mekk-Knights and Invoked, and I am platinum rank.

Mekk-Knight Invoked
Mekk-Knight Invoked Shaddolls (I believe is a thing)
Mekk-Knight Invoked Dogmatika

Just some variants off the top of my head

Ye, others have mentioned Mekk-Knight Invoked combo, I'll look which Invoked cards to grind for. Thank you for the deck list!
