Ewekai (
Etymology[edit]
The theme's name is a pun on "Yōkai" (妖怪, a general catch-all term for creatures that feature in Japanese mythology and urban legends), but with both kanjis swapped into ones that read "Sheep World" instead.
Members[edit]
All monsters in the series are based on sheep and sheep-herding; each monster of the theme has a portmanteau name formed from a sheep-related term and a term referencing said monster's Attribute.

Playing style[edit]
The playstyle of the Deck revolves around Beast Type Normal Monsters, using "Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan" as the flagship and the low-Level "Ewekai" monsters as Tributes for Normal Summoning "Meeeg-chan" and/or discard fodders for using the Spell and Trap Cards, most of which require "Meeg-chan" on the field to activate.
Since "Meeeg-chan" is extremely important to the Deck, cards that can Summon her as fast as possible and recur her if she was destroyed are important. "Ancient Rules", "Secret Order" and "Parallel Birth Gate" are good fit for the role. Since "Meeeg-chan" is a Level 7 monster, cards that interact and make use of monsters with that Level such as "Ship of Seven Treasures" are also good tech choices.
