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.
Revolution Beginning, the 17th Main BOX, has finally given us, together with some of the monsters we were still missing, one of the best support cards this archetype has ever seen: Diamond Core of Koa'ki Meiru. Koa'ki Meiru decks are now significantly more consistent and, as a direct result, more threatening.

| The Tie that Binds Until the end of you turn, the ATK of all face-up monsters on your field increases by the number of monsters on your field times 100. This skill can only be used once per turn. |  Jaden Yuki |
 Diamond Core of Koaki Meiru | Normal Spell |
| Revolution Beginning [SR] | |
| Add 1 "Koa'ki Meiru" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Diamond Core of Koa'ki Meiru". You can banish this card from your Graveyard; for the rest of this turn, "Koa'ki Meiru" monsters you control cannot be destroyed. | |
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.
 Koaki Meiru Maximus | WIND Dragon ★8 ATK 3000 / DEF 2500 |
| Gaia Genesis [R] | |
| This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by removing from play 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your hand. During each of your End Phases, destroy this card unless you send 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" or 1 "Koa'ki Meiru" monster from your hand to the Graveyard. Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can select and destroy 1 card your opponent controls. | |
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.
 Koaki Meiru Urnight | EARTH Beast-Warrior ★4 ATK 2000 / DEF 1500 |
| Gaia Genesis [SR] | |
| During each of your End Phases, destroy this card unless you send 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your hand to the Graveyard or reveal 1 Beast-Warrior-Type monster in your hand. Once per turn, you can reveal 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" in your hand to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Koa'ki Meiru" monster from your Deck, except "Koa'ki Meiru Urnight". | |
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.
 Koaki Meiru Sandman | EARTH Rock ★4 ATK 1900 / DEF 1200 |
| Gaia Genesis [SR] | |
| During each of your End Phases, destroy this card unless you send 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your hand to the Graveyard or reveal 1 Rock-Type monster in your hand. During either player's turn, when your opponent activates a Trap Card: You can Tribute this card; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card. | |
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.
 Koaki Meiru Wall | EARTH Rock ★4 ATK 1900 / DEF 1200 |
| Revolution Beginning [R] | |
| During each of your End Phases, destroy this card unless you send 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your hand to the Graveyard or reveal 1 Rock-Type monster in your hand. During either player's turn, when your opponent activates a Spell Card: You can Tribute this card; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card. | |
 Koaki Meiru Powerhand | EARTH Machine ATK 2100 / DEF 1600 |
| Gaia Genesis [R] | |
| During each of your End Phases, destroy this card unless you send 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your hand to the Graveyard or reveal 1 Normal Trap Card from your hand. If this card battles with a LIGHT or DARK monster, any of that monster's effects that activate or apply on the field are negated during the Battle Phase, while this card remains on the field. | |
 Koaki Meiru Bergzak | EARTH Warrior ★4 ATK 2000 / DEF |
| Infernity Destruction [R] | |
| During each of your End Phases, destroy this card unless you send 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your hand to the Graveyard or reveal 1 Warrior-Type monster in your hand. If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, it can attack once again in a row. | |
 Core Overclock | Continuous Spell |
| Infernity Destruction [R] | |
| All face-up "Koa'ki Meiru" monsters you control gain 500 ATK. Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can discard 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" to have all face-up "Koa'ki Meiru" monsters you control gain 1000 ATK until the End Phase. | |

The Tie that Binds version of Koa'ki Meiru is the most aggressive one. This Skill allows Koa'ki Meiru Maximus to get over high ATK monsters such as Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon and Cosmo Brain without having to use its effect on them and it allows you to OTK through one Sphere Kuriboh.
"See you later"??
