[Rise of the Eldrazi]

Why did you remake monkey and cocoa puffs? Anyway, great cards, but what's with the Doll stuff?

[Umbra]

Cusillu and Ccapac Apu were subpar. I could've remade Ccarayhua and Chacu Challhua as well, but I couldn't be bothered.

 

Doll Parts were a bit of a personal favorite filler from GX.

[Mysty]

Very good cards. Here are my comments:

 

• The wording on the Koa'ki Meiru monsters is "destroy this card unless you [...]", not "unless you [...], this card is destroyed." Just an OCG error.

 

• The Koa'ki Meiru Synchro monsters are DARK and LIGHT. Although this isn't wrong, Koa'ki Meirus are supposed to fight against DARK and LIGHT, hence why they are all Elemental Attributes. Not just that, but

LIGHT and DARK monsters cannot be Special Summoned.

You MIGHT want to change their Attributes unless you designed the Synchros like that so they wouldn't be able to be summoned while Drago's on the field.

 

The other cards look cool though. 10/10.

[Zkaiser]

Those Core Chimair cards were awesome but I agree with Mystery Guest. They shouldn't be LIGHT and DARK monsters.

[Umbra]

As far as I can recall, Drago is the only one which counters LIGHT/DARK: not representative for the Archetype and therefore ignored. OCG on the Koa'ki Meiru will be fixed eventually.

[Zkaiser]

Drago, Powerhand, and Doom all work against LIGHT and DARK and they have an Equip Card that works against LIGHT and DARK as well.

 

Just sayin'. Core Chimairs really don't like LIGHT and DARK monsters. That's a part of the Archetype.

[Umbra]

Correction: SOME Koa'ki Meiru don't like LIGHT/DARKs - 4 cards in total, counting Archetype + Support. So, still not inclusive in the archetype.

[Zkaiser]

Not all Blackwings Special Summon themselves. Not inclusive to the archetype. Don't ignore the fact that not 1 single Core Chimair monster has been a LIGHT or DARK monster. I'm pretty sure Konami did that for a reason.

The Blackwing case only proves my point - not all Blackwings SS themselves, henceforth BW isn't a self-SS archetype.

 

Not a single Lightsworn monster has been WIND, either. Doesn't mean anything.

Konami didn't make any of the Lightsworns WIND for a reason. Konami made Dark World monsters DARK for a reason (The name Dark World). Lightsworn monsters LIGHT for a reason (The name Lightlord). The Koa'ki Meirus are Elemental Attributes for a reason (anti-meta). Blackwings are DARK and do a lot of Special Summoning for a reason (Konami must have been thinking, hey let's make an archetype that's better at Special Summoning than Dark World and Six Samurai). VWXYZ, Arcana Force, and Ojamas are all LIGHT for their own reasons (though I have no idea about why for any of them).

The fact that the Lightsworns don't have any WIND monsters doesn't mean as much as Lightsworn monsters being all LIGHT, but it is significant, just like the Koa'ki Meirus being elemental-attributed. Koa'ki Meirus are meant to be anti-meta (against LIGHT, DARK, and Special Summons) and therefore are not LIGHT, DARK, or needed to be Special Summoned. Each Synchro monster has two of those qualities. The Special Summoning part is a little bit less of a deal since Koa'ki Meirus have at least 2 cards that Special Summon, but that still leaves the LIGHT and DARK issue.

[bury the year]

The Core Chimails (I hate the TCG name) were designed to specifically counter various common strategies in the current metagame, which include LIGHT/DARK. Therefore, sticking with that is perfectly acceptable. And, @ above, anti-meta doesn't mean they're all meta-trait exclusive.

 

That said, I'm not a big fan of Core Deposit, it should be "remove this card from play" on Chimera, and the Doll Parts were always my favorite fillers, although I think you could have expanded on them a bit more. :/

[Zkaiser]

Whatever. Be stubborn if you want. The facts are against you though.

[Umbra]

An Attribute is not a strategy, no matter what you think. Henceforth, an Attribute is not meta.

 

Also, Elemental Heroes. If they're elemental, why are they DARK and LIGHT as well?

 

The only one that could harm the Synchro monster is Drago, and odds are it will be used as Synchro Material anyway.

Wait, so if you use up the card that would prevent the summoning of a monster of a certain quality as the cost for summoning a card of that quality and be able to summon the monster? I thought that only worked with Trap Eater and Royal Oppression because Oppression's effect is optional. Also, if Macro Cosmos is on the field and Imperial Iron Wall isn't, Trap Eater can't be summoned because Macro Cosmos prevents a Continuous Trap from being sent to the Graveyard (check the wikia rulings). I'm not sure if this Drago situation would be much different.

Even if you can, your Tuner is Level 2, there are no Level 3 or lower non-Tuners among the Koa'ki Meiru (not that I can think of off the top of my head anyway), and Drago is Level 4. Most likely, for the Level 5 Synchro, you will use the Tuner and a Level 3 non-Tuner and, for the Level 8, the Level 2 Tuner and 2 Level 3 non-Tuners. Drago most likely won't be used in the summon.

Also, if Attributes aren't a strategy, then why are Dark Counterparts, Darklord Zerato, and Honest used? Obviously Attribute must be of some importance, just like how type is of huge important among most of the Koa'ki Meiru.

first of all im pretty sure ive seen the doll archetype on DME if it was your designs that got them there then kudos ^^. second of all the koa'ki meiru monsters are definately anti-meta, not for what attributes they have, but for how their effects are layed out to stop the effects of other cards. for instance, lets make koa'ki meiru guardian an example. guardian is a monster that negates the effects of other monsters by releasing itself. by using this effect we can see that coupling it with a card that could make sure it lives to use this effect it will be vital so adding a royal oppression to the deck will support this. you will need a monster that will function not only as support to this but as a way of ensuring you can keep guardian alive in the absence of a second guardian in your hand. this will naturally be KM boulder, who has the effect of searching for either the core or another KM in your deck and add it to your hand. two monsters and one trap arent enough to convince anyone so lets keep this rolling by introducing KM seapanther. a monster that by giving up an iron core you can return a spell to the top of your deck. this may seem insignifigant but when coupled with spells that support anti-meta like fissure or smashing ground it can be most dangerous. as you have already discussed drago and doom i wont go into them. now lets continue with KM rooklord who, who is a monarch with a really bad temper. as he destroys effect activates when he is normal summoned you can imply that he is one time use but as i have said he is a monarch and w/ that he has the ability to make himself a 1 release only monster. adding to this to defend him you can use the KM bergzak and ensure he doesnt self destruct allowing for a monarch with 2800 atk. further more you can reverse this and have a 2000 atk double atker that can live by simply shoing off rooklord. as you also know of KM hydro barrier, who is one of the few KM monsters that doesnt self destruct, you can use it to clear the field of effects other than KM monsters thus tying it to KM guardian, thus coming around full circle, all these effects combined with their spells and traps which many just have to show the iron core. can be linked to the ultimate goal and purpose for the KMs. anti meta.

After trying to read that, I must conclude two things (even if it doesn't fit in with what this guy says at all):

 

1. Synchro monsters must be Special Summoned. None of the real Koa'ki Meiru monsters need to be Special Summoned. Also, the two cards in Koa'ki Meirus that do special summon are not necessary for a Koa'ki Meiru deck, which has a few monsters that are against Special Summoning. Therefore, Synchro monsters don't work well with Koa'ki Meirus, for those reasons and more.

2. Koa'ki Meirus aren't DARK and LIGHT because they are against DARK and LIGHT as shown by 4 cards. You must also consider that, of the Koa'ki Meiru support, 3 (4 if you count Laser) are against Special Summons, while 5 are against monster effects (3 monster effect stoppers not directed just toward DARK and LIGHT). However, all these parts must be considered as part of the theme, otherwise the 9 anti-meta cards (10 if you count Laser) as part of the anti-meta theme. Since all the parts are relatively equal in cards, if you dismiss one part of the theme as not supported enough, then the others can easily be dismissed, just leaving a beatdown strategy. Since Koa'ki Meirus are definitely more than just some beatdown strategy, all those strategies must be considered equally when considering the Anti-Meta strategy of the Koa'ki Meirus. Hence, LIGHT and DARK synchros (or even just synchro monsters or LIGHT or DARK monsters) don't fit in with Koa'ki Meirus.

The Elemental Heroes weren't thought of originally for having just elemental attributes. they were thought of to use the power of nature, which does have darkness and light. They were also made to be mostly warriors (except the truly nature E•Heroes). Destiny Heroes were made into warriors for a reason and evil heroes fiends for a reason. The Koa'ki Meirus were designed to be not LIGHT and DARK for a reason: to fight against the LIGHT and the DARK.

[skyshadow]

i have seen the doll part series on dme. though most of the effects have been either removed or changed extremely. and the archetype on there are all dark spellcasters. personally i think it would have been better if they had stayed the effects they have here. strange though. i thought most of the cards that are originals there were gotten from their own forums.
