Koa'ki Meiru: deck recipe [Sept 13]

The “Koa'ki Meiru” archetype revolves around Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru; the vast majority of the monsters self-destruct during the End Phase unless you send this Spell Card to the Graveyard or reveal a certain type of card from your hand.

• There are a lot of “Koa'ki Meiru” cards, so, naturally, there are also a lot of different decks that you can make with them, but the one that has seemingly been the most successful so far is this one.

As I said in the Overview, the “Koa'ki Meiru” archetype revolves around a card in particular: Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru. Iron Core can be recycled from the Graveyard via its effect, so, even if a monster requires you to discard it, you are not going to run out of them, but the case is different with Koa'ki Meiru Maximus because this Level 8 monster can only be Special Summoned by banishing the Spell Card.

If Iron Core is banished, there aren’t many ways to retrieve it consistently. In addition to requiring you to banish Iron Core in order to be Summoned, Maximus doesn’t just ask you to reveal a card during the End Phase: you will have to discard a copy of Iron Core or a “Koa'ki Meiru” monster, otherwise it will destroy itself during the End Phase.

This deck is built to make explosive, aggressive plays, so it generally doesn’t care about maintaining this monster, but, thanks to Diamond Core, you don’t necessarily have to discard anything during the End Phase.

Once per turn, Koa'ki Meiru Maximus allows you to destroy a card your opponent controls. You can destroy a Set Spell/Trap Card or a monster and, if you have more than one Maximus on the field, you can use this effect with both of them.

Maximus alone isn’t enough to deal with everything your opponent has on the field and, even though it does have a lot of ATK, it’s not going to be enough for an OTK.

Once per turn, Koa'ki Meiru Urnight can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower “Koa'ki Meiru” monster from your Deck, except another Koa'ki Meiru Urnight, if you reveal an Iron Core from your hand.

Use Koa'ki Meiru Urnight’s effect to Special Summon Sandman and then Special Summon Koa'ki Meiru Maximus. Now you have a board full of monsters, Maximus’ destruction effect and Sandman’s negation for a Trap Card.

If not Sandman, you can choose to bring out Wall to prevent cards like Book of Moon from stopping your Maximus.

This also stops your opponent from using Mystical Space Typhoon on your set cards if you want to set Book of Moon or any traps you might want to play.

Ice is more of a turn 2 or higher card. Since most strong monsters are most likely special summoned monsters, Ice will most likely be able to deal with a lot of boss monsters.

Unfortunately, this effect does indeed target, despite not being written that way. The good thing is that this can even still destroy face-down special summoned monsters, allowing you to destroy your opponent's monster that you Book of Moon'ed without having to attack.

Use Diamond Core to add Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru, Koa'ki Meiru Urnight or Koa'ki Meiru Maximus from your Deck to your hand. You can’t add another Diamond Core to your hand, but there is no restriction on how many you can activate in a turn.

If all of this wasn’t enough, you can banish Diamond Core from your Graveyard to prevent all “Koa'ki Meiru” monsters you control from being destroyed this turn. You can activate this effect the same turn you activated Diamond Core and make your monsters immune to cards like Treacherous Trap Hole, Widespread Ruin and Super Rush Headlong.

Since your monsters can’t be destroyed by battle this turn, you can also safely attack monsters with the same ATK with them. Most of the times you do not want to add Koa'ki Meiru Sandman to your hand with Diamond Core because Koa'ki Meiru Urnight can Special Summon it from your Deck.

Prevents OTKs similar to Sphere Kuriboh. Keep it in your hand to avoid damage from a direct attack, then later banish it from the graveyard to avoid damage from another direct attack.

Spellbook Support will be act as Draw Filter for allowing to draw out Core Cards easier or increase your hand sources for setup combo.

Destroy all of your opponent's Set Spell/Trap before you normal summon to have a more safer and uninterrupted play.

Can be Xyz Summon using Cipher Dragon. Good for Face-up Card Destruction which is good for Monster Removal and Face-Up Backrow Removal for sometimes.

A potential OTK card if your opponent controls 1 or 2 monsters. This almost works like Number 70: Malevolent Sin since it lets you direct attack if your opponent only controls 1 monster.

Can be Xyz Summon using Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon. Unlike Galaxy-Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon with Face-Up Card Removal limitation, Cipher Blade can remove any 1 card on the field which is good for getting rid of some backrow that will disrupt your combo or Big Boss monsters with bigger ATK stats than any of your monsters.

General Rank 4 Xyz Monster for players to use so far. Its effect essentially lets you deal 2500 (its own ATK) damage if this attacks the monster you targeted. The advantage is that your opponent's monster's ATK is also lowered, allowing you to attack over it with your other weaker monsters.

Gives the deck an OTK option if your opponent has at least a 3000 ATK or lower monster, and you are low LP.

You can make this with the Star Seraphs or ranking up from Utopia.

Mainly to be used to rank up into Utopia Ray when you're at 1000 LP or lower.

Make this early so you can search for a Koa'ki Meiru Sandman or Wall for Beater or next turn setup.

Useful when going against opponents that only have 1 strong boss monster on the field, especially if it's an Xyz monster since banishing them will also remove the materials.

Roach is great for monster suppresion, much like a Trap Hole card. When your opponent summons a boss monster, use Roach's effect to immediately destroy it. This is an especially good counter against Synchro Decks. But most of the time, just Roach's presence on the field is enough to deter the opponent from making big monsters.

Diamond Dire Wolf gets rid of itself along with any enemy card. Use this as on demand removal against a problematic card, or secure your attacks by getting rid of enemy backrow.

Great Magnus will becomes powerful controller and great disruption effect on board with max. 3 materials which can be Xyz Summoned easily by using Dreadnoid's effect.

Decent ATK and defensive effect to help survive. Bring this out if your opponent only has 1 monster on the field that you know you can get over. Destroying a monster by battle will let you Xyz summon a rank 10, which can be used to bring out Great Magnus with 3 materials.

Star Seraphs works as fillers in the deck. They help with some draw power because of their effects and are used to help make some rank 4s that uses 4 materials.

Scepter searches for Sovereignty from the deck, but if you already have Sovereignty in your hand, you'll be able to special summon the one in hand and the newly searched Sovereignty. This will already give you a +2 draw and 3 monsters on the field.

Once all Star Seraphs are on your field, you can make a Delteros or Ouroboros to activate Scepter's effect to destroy and draw a card before even using the Xyz monster's effect.

Effect is very niche, and only works when it battles makes it even more situational. It's better to rely on monster removals like Maximus or the extra deck monsters.
