Koaki is the first tier 0 deck
far more dangerous than fure hire or sylvans before their nerf
staples like fth canadia dmf wod wr cc do nothing against koakis
you have to play spellbooks to negate diamond core but even so you will lose most of the games
the current tier 1 decks are stronger than last years tier 1 decks and next year tier decks will be stronger than koa'ki, you need to compare how annoying and degenerate the deck is at its time compared to the previous decks at thier time, cyber angles and sylvans were 🔥 at thier time, much worse than koa'ki
in their time it was easier to counter CA or Sylvians than it is with koaki today. I can very well pull that comparison. but you always find something that counters these decks. I was now king of the games three times without using one of these decks. If you're working to perfect outsider decks and then succeed, you'll feel better than using copy and paste decks. excuse my bad English. Currently
Sylvans:
Forbidden chalice was the only reliable card to counter sylvans, nobleman of crossout wasn't good for anything else other than sylvans, Devine wrath and ultimate Providence were costy and not really good if you are not playing sylvans yourself, even forbidden chalice wasn't a hard counter, it only stop sylvans for 1 turn.
trap weren't good against sylvans thank to rose lover and mushroomo
CA:
enemy controller was the only reliable card to counter Cyber Angles, CA was one of the few tier 1 decks that was very hard to counter at its time, Konami nerfed the deck 2 weeks after.
Koa'ki can be counterd by many reliable ways: canadias, floodgates, sphere kuriboh, winged kuribohs and others.
We even have deck that countee Koa'ki like silent Magician/sowrdman and buster.
if you know how to play burn, slvians would never be a problem. now im playing aliens and working on something in dm archetyp. possibly i will be stuck in legendary but who cares. btw the current dm build on this side is trash as hell.
I met a bunch of brainless players who didnt know know how to play a brainless deck. will check your DM decks later. My but my current build is very consistent. waiting for the arkana support cards on high levels.

Nerfing Koa'ki to balance it without killing it is very hard, you can't semi limit any 2 koaki cards together, only semi-limiting maximus means it will be at 2 with no hey or TTH, it's not that relevant at all as many decks play with only 2 Maximuses, TTH is pretty much replaceable, I think limiting maximus to 1 is the best option.
Cyber Angels were introduced way too early and as a result were completely OP for their time, but not so much anymore since they are so vulnerable to backrow. At this point Koa'kis are better. They are probably some of the most annoying decks to face, right next to Anki OTK and Silvans. Fur hires were never as bad as this, and amazoness was pretty much f2p. Shouldn't have been nerfed imo.
I'm hesitating to buy packs to make a Koa'ki deck because I know it'll be inevitable that Konami will nerf that deck to 🔥 next month. That's how it always happens. Happened to me with CA, Silvans, fur hire and SSA, and will happen to Koakis too, you just know it. What even is the point in trying to build a meta deck as f2p when it'll be nerfed next month :/
