Today in the age of Inzektors and WInd-Ups duelists go to the extreme to counter against Meta. Some created a deck, call Anti-Meta to strictly counter meta. Others take a more divisive approach to counter meta. These few take their decks and armor them with cards that can stop meta in their tracks.
Cards Great against Meta:
-Effect Veiler (Universal)
-Thunder King (Universal)
-D.D. Crow (D.W., Inzektor)
-Compulsory evacuation Device (Returns Boss monsters and XYZs like zenmaines to hand/extra deck)
-Solemn Judgment (Quite costly, but It can stop any play)
-Forced Back (Not the best of cards, but it can prolong a Meta's play)
-Fiendish Chain (Universal, stops rabbit and wind-up loops)
-Safe Zone (This is great at protecting cards like Thunder King who can really harm your opponent's deck)
-Book of Moon (Stops plays, but if they have an effect when they are summoned, they still get that effect)
-Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo (Stops Gorz, Trag, DAD, J.D., any boss monster, or XYZ)
-Steelswarm Roach (stops Boss monster summonings)
-Neo-Spacian Grand Mole (Returns xyz and synchro monsters back to their extra deck)
-
