Forum:Maining meklords - what do you think?

Lately I began thinking of maining 1 or 2 meklords in every deck. Face it, almost every deck now has at least 2 out of those 3: torrential, morror force and dark hole. Torrential and hole destroy everything including your monsters, so in every duel you can safely calculate with at least 4-5 cards (opponent torrential/mirror/hole + your torrential/hole) that destroy monsters on your side of the field. And if you don't want the meklord on the field (wisel/skiel effect of preventing others to attack) anymore, at least decks with tuners can sync him away or just tribute it...

So I think the majority of the decks could safely main 1 or 2 of those. But now, which one? Lets look at advantages/disadvantages:
 * all
 * + can steal opponents synchros and gain their attack
 * + surprise wall after clearing the field
 * - could sometimes be a dead draw


 * Grannel
 * + amazing attack early game
 * + doesn't prevent other monsters from attacking
 * - mid-late game the attack can go quite low


 * Wisel
 * + highest original attack of all
 * + attack constant at 2500 unlike grannel
 * + can negate spells (how about preventing your opponent from activating monster reborn^^)
 * - prevents other monsters from attacking

Skiel
 * + can attack directly
 * + attack constant at 2200 unlike grannel
 * - above effect depends on the availability of an opponents synchro monster
 * - prevents other monsters from attacking

when looking at that list you can see:
 * Wisel often is the best joice to take
 * Grannel should be amazing in a life point gain deck
 * The only reason to use skiel is, that Wisel hasn't been realesed in the tcg yet^^

So far for my thoughts about that. What do you think? Maining meklords yes/no? If yes, why and what meklord? If no, why? -dest- (talk • contribs) 14:05, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
