The whale is actually the win condition of the deck. After you lock the field, you summon the whale with Dark Reef and attack directly with everything.
Maybe if your opponents has some sort of Beatstick then Whale could be the out. But modern deck is just so Combo-oriented and most of the time the "beatstick" only exist in the extra deck. Most of the Main Deck would just be Starter and Extender with weak stats.
@mulldrifterz6469 exactly on top on letting your water monsters attack directly it also pops a monster amd when it dies you can special summon a water warrior monster aka general raiho of the ice barrier
Hey! Jesse! You can seriously improve this deck with the whale! You can consistently bring out general raiho of the ice barrier, and you get a pop on field during their battlephase. Plus it's triggered by sea stealth 2 popping after battle phase!
Could you try Agents? There’s just one player in Master Duel that consistently gets to Master 1 with them every season so I know they have potential, but I’d love to see your take on them. (Shoutout to Abe, the Agents master!)
Love some Umi. Youre definitely sleeping on the whale though. Instead of a second kairyushin on dark reef you bring out the whale, get a pop in their BP and have all your guys swing for game on your turn. Play with General Rai-oh of the ice barrier for extra degeneracy
Haha, I can relate to the opponents. If someone is on Umi stun and I can’t stop the lock, I just insta-scoop, as well. Sure, I could possibly find the combination I need to out it later… but I could also move on to a duel that would actually be fun.😂
This will always be nostalgic, I remember playing around water to gain the 500 attack gain. Only during battle phase. For water only. We would make those special rules as if we were in duelist kingdom.
Hi! I LOVE Deskbots, and Deskbots have WAAY more potential than most people realise just by reading them. I'd LOVE to see what you could do with them. I've been building Deskbot decks since only the first 3 Deskbots existed, and as time went on and new cards were released, I found SOO MANY powerful combos with the deck, but the deck usually is still weak to hand traps. I've had some versions that weren't, and one that only existed for a short amount of time before a ban list hit the Chronomagician combo, I had a super powerful consistent deck that could go first and get 4 negate monsters, and 7 cards in hand by the end of the first turn, that didn't care too much about hand traps (depending on the hand). When the earth fairies came out, I created infinite resource versions of Deskbots that had the potentially to use the entire extradeck. I really want to see where you can push this high potential, but weak to hand trap deck.
Despite me not liking floodgate decks, I have to say that I have a soft spot for Umi. Not only was the first deck that I built on my own, but also was my first introduction to archetypes, building around 1 card and trying to figure out synergies that works was what attracted me to the game and TCG's in general, If I didn't played one of the DS or Tag Force games, saw Umi and that certain cards interacted with that card, I wouldn't be playing card games to this day. A shame that when it came out in MD, it also came with Marincess and Shark, and I expected them to be somewhat popular in ladder (and was quite right at that time) so it wasn't the best time to play them, and the time never come up and the deck is pretty fragile now, but at least is consistent, but man, it was a bummer not being able to play the deck in a good moment :c (And I doubt Konami will give good support for it, seeing how attach to the anime character the theme is and that they don't know how to give cards to it, if go umi or the fisherman)
Surprised you didn’t play 1 whale. The direct attack wins me so many games when I play this deck. And he’s a good battle phase pop. Ice barrier is also great bc it is a free dragon lord search:
kairyushin is pretty cool deck, i built it after it came out. problem is it has one single combo line with setting up the traps, you can chain the traps to send the umi to grave and then bring it back. Problem is its a trap control deck but doesnt have great draw card options available for it. Kairyushin is one of the most oppressive floodgates in the game. EDIT: Also the point of popping the kairyushin off the board early is one for protecting it and 2 for blowing up their board after it comes back.
I know it's one of the most "viable" decks, but a Cyber Dragon deck would be really interesting to see how you navigate playing by going second. I'm very new to Yu-Gi-Oh and I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you and all love man!
Synchrons and Gladiator Beasts are my favorite decks that are pretty fun ^^ would love to see you make some cool builds with these. The water stuff is fun as well
Seeing a YCS champion/ one of greatest yugioh players playing non meta decks is so interesting. I like to see pros break non meta deck. Can you play syncron next. I think it’s great deck but the combo lines can be hard.
I often feel like the main reason Umi stun has never seen representation is because of the fact that stun is very hated in YuGiOh. I feel like at the time of the release of this support that deck could’ve seen at least a little bit of success.
I would love to see you try Heroic Challenger/Champion, Chaos Dragons, Dark World or Dragunity. Heroic Challenger/Champion are one of my favourite fun decks to play around with, Chaos Dragons are just one of my all time favourite decks, Dark World is just a classic and Dragunity was the first archetype/deck I played when I got back into YuGiOh. So it would be cool to see you tackle these decks.
Hey Jesse. I'm trying to translate this build to TCG. Would you play terraforming over Warrior of Atlantis? How might you adjust the pot card ratio if they weren't limited in MD? Thank you and great content my friend 👍
I’d love to see someone make use of Ancient Gear Hydra , out since the structure but rarely even gets a support slot , I guess it leans too much into the gadget aspect but if anyone could make it work it’s Jesse 🎉😂
Hey jesse I love the destiny board win con. Would love to see if you can pull it off in the modern era of yugioh!! I stopped playing it when a ruling change meant that flipping 2 destiny boards didn't mean 2 letters appeared each opponents turn.
I just started making content on UA-cam and made a short on Maki at full power. Happy to see another water and marine enthusiast. My favorite animals are Turtles. Happy to see another person talk highly of the budget and rogue strategy too! Love your content Jesse! Enjoyed your YCS run at Indy with melodious!
While Infinite Impermanence is a good card, in Umi I think Forbidden Droplet is the better card. This is an even better card if you run the ice barrier package as well, but a nontarget negation that modulates attack is another form of protection heading into the damage step against problematic monsters.
Hi. I know spell counters, and counters in general, are a dead idea, but spellcasters accruing spell counters and using them to "cast spells" and produce an effect was my favorite thing as a pet deck when playing casually. If you could mahbe make something out of those it would be cool.
>Talks about loving the sea.
>Plays a sea based deck.
>Wears a sweater that says “See the lines”.
He really planned this out.
he's mako
I been on my last moments and i enjoy watching you play. Brings back so many memories.
The whale is actually the win condition of the deck. After you lock the field, you summon the whale with Dark Reef and attack directly with everything.

wrong, the win condition is floodgating your opponent. Any monster card is capable of attacking your opponent for game
@@hhminh1467 You do not understand. The Whale is the Accesscode Talker of the deck. It is not just some random water creature.
@mulldrifterz6469 exactly on top on letting your water monsters attack directly it also pops a monster amd when it dies you can special summon a water warrior monster aka general raiho of the ice barrier
@@hhminh1467 Play against mikanko and whale is gg if you can resolve reef twice in two turns
Hey! Jesse! You can seriously improve this deck with the whale! You can consistently bring out general raiho of the ice barrier, and you get a pop on field during their battlephase. Plus it's triggered by sea stealth 2 popping after battle phase!
The foolish burial goods, ice barrier, gameciel package is clutch. Helps with consistency and adds additional forms of interaction.
I actually won locals a few weeks ago with this deck (much better in TCG with Foolish Burial Goods and Pots at 3). Completely shuts down Fire 🙂
@@drjaybee8615which pot/pots and ratios do you prefer?
i ran it when i built it back in the day and yea it was pretty good.
Is an honor that a duelist of the elite like you, use our loved water decks. Your recipe is like my recipe in my channel.
Had a 40 minute duel yesterday against this with my naturia horus deck. Literally only won because one of the horus monsters is water lmao
General Raiho, the Ice Barrier trap + Foolish Burial Goods is a nice addition to the deck and it’s not a bad deck, I went to master 3 with it
Malefic Dragons is my favorite anime deck! It’d be really cool to see how you’d build one!
Could you try Agents? There’s just one player in Master Duel that consistently gets to Master 1 with them every season so I know they have potential, but I’d love to see your take on them.
(Shoutout to Abe, the Agents master!)
This has been my favorite deck since the beginning, I don't care how strong it is TlF and the mako umi strategy is the shit I play ygo for
Nouvelles is super underrated. Play that
These goofy decks are always fun to watch, definitely interested in more!
Love some Umi. Youre definitely sleeping on the whale though. Instead of a second kairyushin on dark reef you bring out the whale, get a pop in their BP and have all your guys swing for game on your turn. Play with General Rai-oh of the ice barrier for extra degeneracy
Definitely do the Fortress Whale 🐋 👍
I absolutely love Ophion. I always wanted to see you construct a modern evil swarm deck
Next Deck Monarchs! I really want to see what your genius mind will think to build this Deck out of bricking.
I’d love to see Jesse try out a performapal deck/pendulum pile since Monkey Board has come back to 3!
Haha, I can relate to the opponents. If someone is on Umi stun and I can’t stop the lock, I just insta-scoop, as well.
Sure, I could possibly find the combination I need to out it later… but I could also move on to a duel that would actually be fun.😂
great job jesse. Harpie deck by any chance?
This will always be nostalgic, I remember playing around water to gain the 500 attack gain. Only during battle phase. For water only. We would make those special rules as if we were in duelist kingdom.
This is the video we needed!
Jesse, please make a chess Archfiend deck! An almost impossible task.

The sky striker duel really highlights how skilled you are. Excellent duel man.

Not using the Whale for the direct attack OTK is wild.
Surprised you didn’t play 1 whale. The direct attack wins me so many games when I play this deck. And he’s a good battle phase pop.
Ice barrier is also great bc it is a free dragon lord search:

I think another fun deck idea would be atlantean mermail. It is my favorite rogue deck. It also fits the water theme.
These thumbnails are soooooooo Bad, they are a work of ART.
There’s nothing more breathtaking than the majestic vastness of the ocean! 🌊
Saw you on stream at Indy. Glad you made it home safely
Simp King will be proud of you
Non pendulum performapals id like to see your take on
Let's see the fortress whale deck, Jesse next YCS when you win ask for a new whale lol, Love the fisherman deck
I know it's one of the most "viable" decks, but a Cyber Dragon deck would be really interesting to see how you navigate playing by going second. I'm very new to Yu-Gi-Oh and I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you and all love man!
It's not a very viable deck
This is my favorite deck. You should try it out with a Horus and Icejade package. Works really well together.
This was so fun! I do wish we could somehow see Legendary Fisherman but alas we needed some back and forth content 😂
Let’s Play some Rex Raptor!!
A bakura deck with some unique cards from him👌🏻
That Striker duel was legit the most interesting duel I've seen with Umi lol
I‘d love to see you taking unchained to tcg locals again :)
Synchrons and Gladiator Beasts are my favorite decks that are pretty fun ^^ would love to see you make some cool builds with these.
The water stuff is fun as well
Loved this! I used to play a water deck back in 2004. Would love to see a fortress whale deck 😂😂😂
Keep the videos coming im watching all of them oeaving likes and comments ❤
This deck rules, one of my favorite control decks in recent memory
Seeing a YCS champion/ one of greatest yugioh players playing non meta decks is so interesting. I like to see pros break non meta deck. Can you play syncron next. I think it’s great deck but the combo lines can be hard.
Seeing a fortress whale dexk would be SICK hahahaha
I know deck sucks, but i would really like to see your version of Sacred Beast deck, Hamon is my favorite monster :|
Watching good players play just shows that any deck can win. Maybe not all the time but enough to have fun with
I often feel like the main reason Umi stun has never seen representation is because of the fact that stun is very hated in YuGiOh. I feel like at the time of the release of this support that deck could’ve seen at least a little bit of success.

Harpy lady please 🙏
You're amazing Jesse! Thank you for this!
That fortress whale challenge sounds exciting
Hey Jesse. I'm trying to translate this build to TCG. Would you play terraforming over Warrior of Atlantis? How might you adjust the pot card ratio if they weren't limited in MD? Thank you and great content my friend 👍
Want an extreme challenge. Try pure Gizmek.
Been loving these. I was looking for new decks as the meta is getting stale
Gimmick puppet after support release the otk is good trust
Would love to see your take on bee troopers and metamorphized inself queen/cocoon of ultimate evolution!
We’d love to have you back in Aus Jesse!!
I use shark engine + 3 icejade aegirine instead of hand traps. What do you guys think is better ?
I have never seen someone put so much brain into Master Duel.
I though YGO Players dont read 😂
I’d love to see someone make use of Ancient Gear Hydra , out since the structure but rarely even gets a support slot , I guess it leans too much into the gadget aspect but if anyone could make it work it’s Jesse 🎉😂
I love watching you play bad decks 🤣🔥
Your a bad deck, kairyu shin lock did top a while back
Isnt a Bad Deck lol
It’s not bad , just not meta
@@ryanlordjanie how many "awhile ago'" was it? An how many times has it happened 😂
This deck is horrible man. Click bait this time for sure 😂
@@charliecruz5640not horrible, but definitely affected due to lack of consistency. The new barian spell helps this deck a lot 😁
Hey jesse I love the destiny board win con. Would love to see if you can pull it off in the modern era of yugioh!! I stopped playing it when a ruling change meant that flipping 2 destiny boards didn't mean 2 letters appeared each opponents turn.
nice video! one of my mates was trying to build this deck so I can show him this! next time you should try playing blackwings!
Would love to see a legendary fisherman deck loved this video

Love your content Jesse! Enjoyed your YCS run at Indy with melodious!
Would love more variety deck vids!

I really wanna see you play this in tcg now, got me hyped
rip Umi prices
Umi ain't bad homie
Jesse we want a dark world deck profile!
Oh wow. I need to work with these cards! I habe a couple decent water decks in DL and I was not paying attention to what Legendary Ocean can do!
Blue-eyes white dragon and red-eyes black dragon, favorite decks of all time

I would love to see if you could make the light reptile type worm monsters meta
I want a Ledgendary Fisherman III Deck please.
PLEASE do a modern version of sasuke swap, that deck is so cool in edison i want someone to make a modern version.

I would love to see you rock a buster blader deck :)
just bought me a box of this set, cause they were like 17 dollars and today im going to build this deck in masterduel :D
It would be amazing if you brought some glory to the legendary knights

Ik it’s similar but could you try Sharks, and maybe show budget alternatives. Cause it may be rogue soon due to new support
Love the niche deck plays. More please!
