However, the support card " and "[[Magical Scientist]]" experimented and created the "Koa'ki Ring]]Meiru" and other anti-meta cards appear in [[Starstrike Blast]]Monsters.==Etymology==The majority of their effects center around manipulating the "[[Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru]]" or [[reveal]]ing one in your hand to activate an effect. Almost all of the monsters require a maintenance cost in the form of sending an Iron is a combination of the words "Core to the grave or revealing ", "Chimera" and "Mail", sometimes romanized as "Core Chimair" (a monster combination of the same type. There are exceptions, such as that of words "Core" and "Chimera").==Design==The "[[Koa'ki Meiru Powerhand]]"archetype consists of a plethora of different creatures, where you must reveal a [[Normal Trap Card]]featuring elementals, or dragons, statues, warriors and many more and can overall be described as a mishmash of art styles. They don't really have any connection in design or color, except for the fact that all of the "[[Koa'ki Meiru Valafar]]Meirus" where you have to send an "Iron Core the same mark (3 dragons) on some part of Koa'Ki Meiru" and cannot reveal any card in your hand insteadtheir body or on a weapon they use.==Playing style=="Koa'ki Meiru are all " is a [[EARTHstun]], /[[WINDcontrol]], Deck revolving around fulfilling its monsters' [[WATERmaintenance cost]] or [[FIRE]] attribute monsters, rendering s in order to keep them immune to on the field and apply their own control based field-controlling effects which often affect [. Secondarily, the archetype revolves around interactions with the Normal Spell "[LIGHT]] and [[DARKIron Core of Koa'ki Meiru]] monsters". All of the Almost every "Koa'ki Meiru" have monster has a maintenance cost that must be performed during each of the same mark (3 dragons) on some part of their body or on a weapon player's [[End Phase]]s, otherwise they havewill destroy themselves. Also, many Koa'ki Meiru and related cards' artwork uses yellow, orange, and red, except for "[[Koa'ki Meiru Ghoulungulate]]". According to monsters typically have a choice of two actions for their maintenance costs; the options are typically sending an "[[Iron Core Specimen Lab]]", "[[Kozaky]]" and "[[Magical Scientist]]" experimented and created from the player's hand to the Koa'ki Meiru Monsters.Graveyard, or revealing a card in the player's hand (typically a monster of their same type).{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible autocollapse" style=Playing Style==The theme was initially designed to bring down the dominating Decks of over 2 banlists and therefore centered around heavy control elements.

A number of "Koa'ki Meiru" monsters (e.g. "[[Gladiator Beast RetiariKoa'ki Meiru Drago|Drago]]" and "[[Macro Cosmos]]". Also, having multiple Koa'ki Meiru monsters on the field at once can be extremely dangerous Doom|Doom]]") have effects focused on countering [[LIGHT]] and [[DARK]] monsters (which were likely intended as each one would require you to reveal a card or discard a card from your hand at the End Phase, leaving your hand "anti-meta" options against their contemporary LIGHT and field advantage very hard to maintain unless multiple copies are used (for example, 3 "DARK-based meta Decks).Four Level 4 EARTH Rock "Koa'ki Meiru Powerhands" only require 1 Normal Trap Card revealed). A good way to avoid problems with this is to keep a duplicate of the specific monsters in your hand-usually, Koa'Ki Meiru Monsters require you to reveal a monster of the same type so you can reveal a duplicate or another ("[[Koa'ki Meiru of the same type. Overload|Overload]]", "[[Koa'ki Meiru monsters are very reliant on the hand and so cards like "[[Card DestructionGuardian|Guardian]]", "[[Mind CrushKoa'ki Meiru Sandman|Sandman]]", or "[[D.D. DesignatorKoa'ki Meiru Wall|Wall]]" can completely disrupt the player's strategy and cards like ") also form a thematic sub-series with a single effect pattern: each of them can [[Trap Dustshootnegate]]" an opponent's action (summoning a monster or even "[[Des Koala]]" can deal serious damageactivating a card/effect of a card type) by tributing themselves. One way to beat the "Koa'ki Meiru format is to have the opponent permanently reveal their hand to you on their turns in order to make them either discard an "Iron Core of cards can be played as staples in other Typing-focused Decks, or played as a single dedicated Deck. As a dedicated "Koa'ki Meiru" or destroy Deck, the card since they cannot Deck primarily focuses on the Level 4 EARTH Rock "revealKoa'ki Meiru" the card monsters due to you. Such cards include "[[Respect Play]]" their accessibility, power, and "synergy with [[Ceremonial BellRock]]support; they form a part of the popular ". [[Remove from playRock Stun]] Decks can remove " Deck.The Deck's main searchers are "[[Iron Diamond Core of Koa'ki Meiru]]" and so you have to rely on your revealing effect. To protect yourself from this, it is a good idea to have ", "[[[NecrovalleyKoa'ki Meiru Urnight]]" , and a "[[Burial from a Different DimensionKoa'ki Meiru Supplier]]" in your [[Side Deck]].  Hand Control Decks present . Aside from the biggest threat by being able to specifically remove assets essential to the Deck. ==Playing Tips==This Deck revolves around [[Anti"Rock Stun" "Koa'ki Meiru" monsters, other relevant high-power (and low-Meta]]. Obviously, the most important card in the Deck is cost) "Koa'ki Meiru" monsters include the LIGHT and DARK hard counters "[[Iron Core of Koa'ki MeiruDrago]]", so having three in your Deck is a must. Most of the monsters are used against and "[[Effect MonstersKoa'ki Meiru Doom]]", mostly the card-destroying "[[DARKKoa'ki Meiru Ice]] " and "[[LIGHTKoa'ki Meiru Tornado]] monsters", since they are and the commonly used Decks (mass effect negation of "[[InfernitiesKoa'ki Meiru Hydro Barrier]], [[Lightsworns]], [[Blackwings]] etc".). Most While "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru Decks should focus on " is central to the archetype's playstyle, and there are multiple dedicated searchers for it (e.g. "[[RockCore Transport Unit]]-[[Type]] and [[Beast-Warrior]]-[[Type]] monsters, using other Types according to "), the fact that the Deckcard doesn's main strategy. Often overlooked t have any effects itself and is the fact purely an enabler for certain specific cards means that you can use "[[Iron Core Armor]]more modern " to substitute for the maintenance cost of Koa'ki Meiru monsters. The main advantage " will typically try to downplay its importance, in favor of including other external enablers (and maintenance cost providers) like "[[Iron Core ArmorAdamancipator]]" in your Deck is that there exists plenty of support for [[Equip Spell Card]]smonsters. For example, using "[[Hidden Armory]]" to search for "[[Iron Core Armor]]" from your Deck or Graveyard may cause you to have one Koa'ki Meiru monster sent to your Graveyard, which could be used to fuel the effect of "[[Koa'ki Meiru Ghoulungulate]]". "[[Trade-In]]" can work well if you are using "[[Beast King Barbaros]]" to reveal for "[[Koa'ki Meiru Urnight]]" and "[[Koa'ki Meiru Crusader]]". Other level 8 monsters to work with "[[Trade-In]]" are "[[Koa'ki Meiru Valafar]]" and "[[Koa'ki Meiru Maximus]]". Maximus can also be revealed for "[[Koa'ki Meiru Drago]]" and Valafar is a strong beatstick that is immune to "[[Torrential Tribute]]", "[[Bottomless Trap Hole]]", "[[Mirror Force]]", "[[Call of the Haunted]]", and "[[Core Reinforcement]]". It would be wise to include cards that return monsters and other cards to your or your opponent's hand. For example, "[[Compulsory Evacuation Device]]" or "[[Penguin Soldier]]" can both remove threats from the field or keep a Koa'ki Meiru alive for a turn or even using it for the maintenance.  Usual Anti-Meta tricks like "[[Grave of the Super Ancient Organism]]" or "[[Royal Oppression]]" work fairly well, since Koa'ki Meirus can mantian a solid game even without Special Summoning.  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 Urnight]]" and "[[Koa'ki Meiru Crusader]]" are [[Beast-Warrior]]-type monsters and have the same reveal requirement, while allowing for a good presence on the field and card advantage. * "[[Koa'ki Meiru Wall]]", "[[Koa'ki Meiru Sandman]]", "[[Koa'ki Meiru Guardian]]", "[[Koa'ki Meiru Boulder]]", "[[Koa'ki Meiru Prototype]]" and "[[Gigantes]]" can be extremely aggressive when combined, as well as controlling the field and hand. Wall, Sandman, and Guardian all have effect negation abilities: they are used for a Rock Stun deck. Boulder and Prototype are both extremely useful for Koa'ki Meiru monsters because they do not require the normal sacrifice-Boulder is used to search for other Koa'Ki Meiru monsters or Iron Cores, while Prototype can sacrifice itself to prevent a Koa'ki Meiru monster from being destroyed during the end phase of the turn. * "[[Koa'ki Meiru Maximus]]" can be used as the reveal cost for "[[Koa'ki Meiru Drago]]". Drago's effect serves as disruption, while you gather "[[Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru]]" for Maximus's final push for game. * "[[Koa'ki Meiru Doom]]" and "[[Koa'ki Meiru Valafar]]" also work together, usually in a different Deck revolving around "[[Evil Hero Dark Gaia]]" and "[[Dark Fusion]]". * "[[Koa'ki Meiru Speeder]]" can null the costs for "[[Koa'ki Meiru Tornado]]" and "[[Koa'ki Meiru Hydro Barrier]]", as well as working with "[[Koa'ki Meiru Powerhand]]" due to their high ATK and DEF and low Levels. * "[[Koa'ki Meiru Ghoulungulate]]" has a protection effect which can be easily achieved by building up a good Graveyard size with "[[Iron Core Specimen Lab]]" and "[[Koa'ki Meiru Urnight]]". "[[Koa'ki Meiru Ghoulungulate]]" can easily be brought out with [[Pyramid Turtle]]'s" effect, and keeps a good Tribute fodder for "[[Koa'ki Meiru Rooklord]]". Since both [[Remove from Play]], "[[Burial from a Different Dimension]]", and "[[Return from the Different Dimension]]" can be very powerful. Finally, a few cards have the heavy cost of discarding a [[Spell Card]] from your hand (like "[[Summoner Monk]]", "[[Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell]]" and "[[Chiron the Mage]]"), but Koa'ki Meiru Decks can recycle the "[[Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru]]" as long as they want to, making these much more consistent than any other Deck. ===Recommended Cards=======Monster Cards====[[Rock]] (For [[Koa'ki Meiru Guardian]]/[[Koa'ki Meiru Sandman]]/[[Koa'ki Meiru Wall]])* [[Gigantes]]* [[Neo-Spacian Grand Mole]]* [[Legendary Jujitsu Master]] [[Beast-Warrior]] (For [[Koa'ki Meiru Crusader]]/[[Koa'ki Meiru Urnight]])* [[Beast King Barbaros]]* [[Chiron the Mage]]* [[Pitch-Black Warwolf]] [[Warrior]] (For [[Koa'ki Meiru Bergzak]]/[[Koa'ki Meiru Rooklord]]/[[Koa'ki Meiru War Arms]])* [[D.D.

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 "[[Respect Play]]" or "[[Reckless GreedCeremonial 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 "[[Dimensional PrisonCard Destruction]]* ", "[[Mind Crush]]", "[[D.D. Designator]]" and "[[Bottomless Trap HoleDustshoot]]" can completely disrupt the player's strategy.* Like many other decks, "Koa'ki Meiru" does not appreciate its Summons to be negated or blocked. "[[Starlight RoadSolemn Warning]]* ", "[[Solemn Judgment]]", "[[Royal OppressionArchlord Kristya]]* ", "[[Mirror ForceVanity's Fiend]] ====Extra Deck====* " or "[[Stardust DragonVanity's Emptiness]]" are all effective against the deck.{{Archseries navbox}}{{ArchetypeNavboxArchseries navbox (Duel Links)}}[[Category:ArchetypesTCG and OCG archetypes]]
