Against meta decks, Koa'ki Meirus tend to have powerful [[Lockdown]] capabilities. In addition, several low-level Koa'ki Meiru monsters have [[ATK]]s that are considered extraordinarily high for a monster of it's level (there are 8 monsters with 1900 ATK and 3 monsters with 2000 or more ATK, all at level 4), as well as having a beneficial effect (if not counting the revealing part), thus they can play semi! rowspan = 2 | Level! rowspan = 2 | Attribute! rowspan = 2 | Type! colspan = 2 | Maintenance Cost|-!

Lastly, if you play [["Koa'ki Meiru Ghoulungulate]]" monsters have a variety of effects, you also should play [[Return ranging from the Different Dimension]]consistency support, battle, as game-ending beatkilldestruction, as all or negation focused effects. A number of "Koa'ki Meirus can be Special SummonedMeiru" monsters (e.g. "[[GigantesKoa'ki Meiru Drago|Drago]] may also helps to set up this combo, as most of the main Koa´ki Meiru monsters are " and "[[EARTH]], while also allowing you to Special Summon a good Beatstick.

You can then halve the attack an opponent's action (summoning a monster or activating a card/effect of your opponents monsters, leaving them open for weak a card type) by tributing themselves."Koa'ki Meiru monsters such " cards can be played as [[staples in other Typing-focused Decks, or played as a single dedicated Deck. As a dedicated "Koa'ki Meiru Boulder]] " Deck, the Deck primarily focuses on the field. Even though Level 4 EARTH Rock "Koa'ki Meirus are targeted towards Light and Dark Meiru" monsters they are not limited due to only defeating those attributes. Koa'ki Meiru Hydro Barrier alone can shut down most Fortune Ladies effects their accessibility, power, and make them almost useless. Along synergy with that the Koa[[Rock]] support; they form a part of the popular "[[Rock Stun]]" Deck.The Deck's main searchers are "[[Diamond Core of Koa'ki Meirus have destructive power. Cards like UrnightMeiru]]", Bergzak, Rooklord, and Maximus have the ATK and effects to get the job done and done quick. Cards like "[[Koa'ki Meiru TornadoUrnight]] can easily sweep the field ", and destroy multiple cards your opponent controls. ==Weaknesses==Because "[[Iron Core of Koa'ki MeiruSupplier]] may often be in ". Aside from the graveyard, it is vulnerable to cards that can remove it from play, such as [[Gladiator Beast Retiari]], and [[Macro Cosmos]]. Also, having multiple "Rock Stun" "Koa'ki Meiru " monsters on the field at once can be extremely dangerous, as each one would require you to reveal or discard a card from your hand at the End Phase; leaving hand other relevant high-power (and field advantage very hard to maintain, unless multiple copies are used (for example, 3 low-cost) "Koa'ki Meiru Powerhands only require 1 Normal Trap Card revealed). Koa'ki Meirus are very reliant on " monsters include the hand LIGHT and so cards like DARK hard counters "[[Card DestructionKoa'ki Meiru Drago]], " and "[[Mind Crush]] or [[D.D. DesignatorKoa'ki Meiru Doom]] can completely disrupt ", the player's strategy, and cards like card-destroying "[[Trap DustshootKoa'ki Meiru Ice]] or even " and "[[Des KoalaKoa'ki Meiru Tornado]] deal serious damage", and the mass effect negation of "[[Koa'ki Meiru Hydro Barrier]]". While "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meirus can also be used as splashable techMeiru" is central to the archetype's playstyle, such as Drago in a Dragon Deck and Doom in a Fiend Deck there are multiple dedicated searchers for it (although their effects may end up working against the controller if other monsters they control are LIGHT or DARK attributee.g. "[[Core Transport Unit]]"), since itthe fact that the card doesn's very difficult to work around with multiple Koa'kis. Amazingly, one way to beat the t have any effects itself and is purely an enabler for certain specific cards means that more modern "Koa'ki Meiru format is " will typically try to have the opponent permanently reveal their hand to you on their turns in order to make them either discard an Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru or destroy the card, since they cannot downplay its importance, in favor of other external enablers (and maintenance cost providers) like "reveal" the card to you. Such cards include [[Respect Play]] and [[Ceremonial Bell[Adamancipator]]" monsters. [[Remove from play]] Decks can remove "[[Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru]]" and so you have to rely on your revealing effect. It is best to have [[Imperial Iron Wall]] or [[Necrovalley]] in your [[Side Deck]]. The most dangerous are [[hand destruction]] decks. If your hand becomes 0 too quickly, you have limited options. You can draw normally, hopefully getting a Koa'ki Meiru monster, but it gets destroyed, because you cannot add "[[Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru]]" to your hand. Also, most other Koa'ki Meiru Spells and Traps need "[[Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru]]" in your hand. [[Side Deck]]ing "[[Morphing Jar]]" and other draw cards can help. ==Playing Tips== This [[Deck]] revolves around [[Anti-Meta]]. Obviously, the most important card needed in the deck is "[[Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru]]", so having three in your [[Deck]] would be very helpful. Most of the monsters are used against [[Effect Monsters]], mostly [[DARK]] and [[LIGHT]] monsters, since they are the commonly used [[Deck]]s ([[Dark Armed Dragon]] decks, [[Lightsworns]], etc...). It is best to also have three of "[[Koa'ki Meiru Boulder]]" and "[[Koa'ki Meiru Crusader]]" in your Deck. "[[Koa'ki Meiru Boulder]]" can search for "[[Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru]]" or a needed Koa'ki Meiru monster. "[[Koa'ki Meiru Crusader]]" can add "[[Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru]]" from your [[Graveyard]], so you do not have to add it to your hand during the [[Draw Phase]]. "[[Koa'ki Meiru Speeder]]" has a high Defense and if you draw "[[Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru]]" you can draw another card. While usually this proves itself quite situational, you can abuse the effects of "[[Koa'ki Meiru Hydro Barrier]]" and "[[Koa'ki Meiru Tornado]]". While they are very strong against the current common [[Deck]]s, their weakness are [[Removed from play]] decks and [[Hand destruction]] decks. [[Remove from play]] decks can remove "[[Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru]]" and so you have to rely on your revealing effect. It is best to have [[Imperial Iron Wall]] in your [[Side Deck]].  Though [[Necrovalley]] and the Gravekeepers may hinder a Koa'ki Meiru's playing style and vice versa they can actually help one another especially if you have [[Gravekeeper's Chief]], which takes care of the out of play problem.  However it would be wise to include cards that return monsters and other cards to yours or your opponents hands. Such as multiple copies of [[Compulsory Evacuation Device]] or [[Penguin Soldier]]. This way if you cant reveal the correct type of card or discard an Iron Core you can return them to your hand instead or in the case of [[Penguin Soldier]] return one monster your opponent has and your own. Another good card to add in case of a remove from play type opponent use the trap card [[Imperial Iron Wall]] allowing you to keep your cards. Another trick you might want to consider is to help the anti meta abilities the trap [[Grave of the Super Ancient Organism]] making their monsters higher then LV 6 useless. If you play this card, you might also include [[Star Blast]], so your high-level monsters can temporarily get under the effect of [[Grave of the Super Ancient Organism]]. Although [[Star Blast]] might seem a little wasteful seeing as most of the high level special summoning Koa'ki's are so few in number (i.e Maximus) and a cards like Rooklord's effect only work when they are normal summoned anyway It would be wise for a serious Koa'ki Meiru Duelist who uses the cards [[Koa'ki Meiru Maximus]], [[Koa'ki Meiru Rooklord]] and [[Koa'ki Meiru Ghoulungulate]] to have 2 copies of [[Necroface]] (However as of the [[March 2010 Lists]] it will be limited to only one) in their deck, as these monsters remove cards from play, it would be good to get them shuffled back into your deck through [[Necroface]]'s effect. You can also play [[Return from the Different Dimension]], which, if timed appropriately, will generally give you the game on a silver plate. Also a player might want to include [[Evil Hero Dark Gaia]] and [[Dark Fusion]] since there is a fairly powerful amount of [[Fiend]]and [[Rock]] type Koa'ki Meiru monsters such as [[Koa'ki Meiru Valafar]] and [[Koa'ki Meiru Guardian]] which would make for a 4900 ATK monster. Although most Koa'ki Meiru monsters have difficulty staying on the field, a few of them work incredibly well together, sharing types, or common reveals that help ensure their survival on the field. [[Koa'ki Meiru Urknight]] and [[Koa'ki Meiru Crusader]] share the [[Beast-Warrior]] type, and reveal requirement, and allow for a good presence on the field. [[Core Overclock]] can boost these monsters up 1500 attack points, making strong synchro monsters less of a hassle. Another good combo is using [[Koa'ki Meiru Sandman]], [[Koa'ki Meiru Guardian]], [[Koa'ki Meiru Boulder]], [[Koa'ki Meiru Prototype]] and [[Gigantes]]. Combined with [[Koa'ki Meiru Ghoulungulate]] and his removal effect, maintaining the field can be achieved easily by building up a good graveyard size with [[Iron Core Specimen Lab]]. [[Koa'ki Meiru Ghoulungulate]] can easily be brought out with [[Pyramid Turtle]]'s effect, allowing him to quickly and easily set up a wall, protecting all of your Koa'ki Meiru monster's from being destroyed, while you focus on summoning stronger monsters like [[Koa'ki Meiru Rooklord]] or [[Koa'ki Meiru Valafar]] This combined with [[Koa'ki Meiru Urknight]]'s ability to special summon (preferably other Koa'ki Meiru monsters to fill the graveyard up for [[Koa'ki Meiru Ghoulungulate]]) can lead to a quickly controlled field, while adding some powerful beat-sticks and controlling effects to the field. Some cards that support this strategy well are [[Foolish Burial]], [[Burial from a Different Dimension]], and [[Return from the Different Dimension]] to compensate for the loss of graveyard presence and to counter a removal of an [[Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru]] from play, which would otherwise cripple the deck.  ===Recommended Cards===Recommended cards==={{Decklist|Deck

If the player is not careful and summons multiple "Koa'ki Meiru" monsters to the field without thought, it can easily blow up if one is not able to pay all the costs.** Additionally, cards such as "[[Shadow-Imprisoning MirrorRespect Play]]" or "[[Ceremonial Bell]]" can eliminate the majority of the alternative maintenance costs by making it impossible to reveal any cards. In that case, one would be forced to rely on sending "Iron Core" to satisfy maintenance costs.* "Koa'ki Meiru" monsters are very reliant on the hand, therefore any form of "Hand Control" presents a big threat by being able to specifically remove assets essential to the Deck. Cards like "[[Card Destruction]]", "[[Mind Crush]]", "[[D.D. Designator]]" and "[[Trap Dustshoot]]" can completely disrupt the player's strategy.* Like many other decks, "Koa'ki Meiru" does not appreciate its Summons to be negated or blocked. "[[Solemn Warning]]", "[[Solemn Judgment]]", "[[Archlord Kristya]]", "[[Light-Imprisoning MirrorVanity's Fiend]]" or "[[Vanity's Emptiness]]" are all effective against the deck.{{Archseries navbox}}{{ArchetypeNavboxArchseries navbox (Duel Links)}}[[Category:ArchetypeTCG and OCG archetypes]]
