Reinforcements of the Crusade! Crusadia Guide Part 2
June 4th 2021
A long time ago now, I wrote an overview about the Crusadia archetype and how it functions in a deck. While its offensive power is explosive and potentially devastating, it carries its own set of weaknesses. Fortunately, these brave warriors don’t have to fight alone. In the past, many duelists have supplemented these fearsome fighters with various different engines, from a small, compact package to one or even two additional archetypes. In this article, I’ll go over the different engines that have been used with Crusadia, some old and some new, before giving my final recommendation.

Five Yugioh Activities to Do at Home
