The original version of this Deck is illegal and purely for amusement, containing eight copies of Koa'ki Meiru Guardian, Koa'ki Meiru Wall, Neo-Spacian Grand Mole, "Solidarity," and "Royal Decree." The name is a portmanteau of Hawaiian words for "stop" and "stone."

- The scheme of the Deck is to pummel as quickly as possible and block all possible countermeasures, like with Machina. Unlike Machina, the monsters must budget their effect-stopping abilities against their own survival. There is very little that cannot be negated by this Deck:
- Monsters with Ignition/Quick/Trigger Effects are stopped by "Guardian".
- Monsters with Continuous Effects and effects that trigger in the Damage Step are stopped by "Forbidden Chalice".
- Spells are stopped by "Wall".
- Special Summons are blocked by "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo".
- Attacks are stopped by "Book of Moon" (occasionally).
- Traps are blocked by "Royal Decree".
- Field presence abounds in this Deck, with few of the monsters being outmaneuvered by anything short of "Destiny Hero - Plasma". "Guardian" and "Wall" hit like piles of bricks. "Boulder" is useful early-game and next-to-useless thereafter ("Solidarity" puts it at 2000 even). "Prototype" is strong and beautiful; its effect is useful and handy when I've used my hand up (doesn't happen too often) but frequently lacks purpose. "Grand Mole" is an obvious pick to deal with "Honest", Synchros, and monsters that are very strong. Morphing Jar #2 has a similar role and meshes nicely with the Deck's Levels. As for "Pachycephalo", good luck drawing something that can be Normal Summoned and can kill it under "Solidarity". I've also considered "Clear World", but I am unsure of how much damage it does to other Decks.
- "Pot of Duality" is fast and useful. "MBaaS" is decent, but not too crucial. "Giant Trunade" helps deal with things like "Necrovalley"; up it goes and "Wall" will catch it as it comes down.
- Also unlike Machina, these monsters have barely any capacity for revival. The Koa'ki Meiru Spell Cards tend to support the Core, not the monsters. The Core itself is completely unnecessary for keeping these "Koa'ki Meiru" monsters alive, given the sheer number of Rock-types available to reveal. It is for the support of "Urgent Synthesis." "Monster Reincarnation" and "Pot of Avarice" are expensive tools for recycling the two "Koa'ki Meiru" effect eaters. Perhaps there is a better, non-Limited revival Spell Card, but I have not seen it. I cannot use "Core Reinforcement", "Release from Stone", or "Call of the Haunted" since they are Traps, and I cannot employ "Koa'ki Meiru Sandman" instead of "Royal Decree" because Spell Speed becomes an issue.
- The greatest challenges to this Deck are Field Spell Card/"Solidarity"-based builds and its inability to recycle monsters. Being big's not good either. What to do, what to do.
