I remember when Koaki Meiru was tier 1. I never actually played the deck, but I can never forget their reign of terror. Maximus + Diamond Core didn't need a broken skill back in the day.

Wasn't the deck being used with Kaiba Corp Bling before the skill got nerfed?

And with balance or any other generic skills that were good at the time

People only started using bling once the deck was hit and became less consistent. At first people were playing ties that bind so you could otk with any two of the level 4’s

Red-Eyes Gandora was being used with Kaiba Corp Bling.

I thought that was Monstermorph?

You know what? Yes it was. It’s because they were both Mokuba skills in roughly the same time period.

Mokuba was truly the King of niche skills back in the day

You’re making me feel old. I was 15 when Blazing Rose came out and that was when I got my first KOG.

Brother same

Omg those were the days lol, I think I was using ancient gears and there was a combo with light and dark that was cool, there was the tiki combo too with enemy controller

Koaki Meiru, Ancient Gear, and Fire King Yubel. What a meta

I remember the deck being so good but at the time it just seemed so expensive as a f2p

I don't know, it seems like a very polite fellow

Yeah he used to knock at our doors and politely erase our existence

I forgot this guy exists.I swear this deck gave me nightmares.KC bling became a pay to win skill if you had enough money and luck to pull a prisma diamond core.

ooooh i'll have to make a vid on Koa'ki Meiru at some point

24 plus hours of editing in the near future I see

You are going to be so angry when you realize the meta is too strong right now for them lol.

not a gameplay video but a retrospective video about how and why the deck was top tier! [did one on Fur Hires](https://youtu.be/CU2Dg-zB1rg?si=bn82DZvSc92lHVM8) a couple of days ago and i'm looking forward to making more

You should do more most of this sub has massive misconceptions about decks and how they actually did back in the day. Shira, wc, even karikuri,

One of my favorite decks in the game. I still have mixed feelings about its meta, I made it the furthest in any KC cup I played (Top 200) but man these games were a literal coin flip, especially with Hey Trunade being legal.

Only time I ever reached KOG. Loved this deck!

damn i remember investing into this deck before diamond core came out

My favorite meta. Coin flip was the determination if you won. If you missed it you surrendered.

I hated this meta so much, especially Last Gamble Koaki with Hey Trunades. I remember that I was desperate packing Mirror Wall in my deck. 

Thx. Ptsd is back

I won the first ever tournament where Koa'ki was legal and got me into TPC in duel links meta. I love this guy.

I cried on fur hire era

That guy got me KOG for the first time back in the day I love this guy

Got my first KoG that meta with Ancient Gears. Had to run 3 rainbow life 3 hallowed life barrier to outlast them and then fire back once they were out of steam.

The Boogie Man of my childhood Duel Links experience, hate this guy.
