Loved this profile! Gonna share it with my MTG mutuals who wish they had good Merfolk decks (suckers, they should be playing Yu-Gi-Oh where Mermaid cards are broken af).
Yo Sam as always big props to calling out smaller channels to ask them to talk about their favorite deck. Ain't nobody better than somebody who pours their heart and soul into a group of cards to talk about em, and I love this. Gona keep this vid in my back pocket for when I get around to assembling the core.
I think it's a great thing that tsx1 is giving smaller channels a stage to showcase decks and promote themselves. all the collabs sam does and has done since the cannel exists always put a lot of emphasis on this, and he doesnt even shy away from making a fool of himself to make other people look good. imo that always deserves a thumbs up and is worth supporting, thank you for the great content and initiative sam
He's such a humble person, and I really love him for that. Sure, he can be a bit silly, do dumb things, and overreact at times, but we still adore him.
Currently in Master Duel, I try to get sprite elf on field, use moon to get oppo to go minus 2, and use elf to bring diva back for syncro with moon or if I have the icejade I go into the icebarrier dragon and summon the general on my opponents turn to have a non targetable icebarrier dragon and a non targetable general to cause my opponent to have to discard more cards on their turn.
i havent played yugi for like 10 years and mermail was one of my first decks, i'm so happy to see that it's still looking decently playable compared to many deck from back then that got powercreept into oblivion
Another option I’ve been trying for the coelacanth build is a copy of fishborg harpooner. Since it’s level 4 and a tuner, you can use it for a bahamut play or synchro into a dragite for spell/trap negate and 3k body
Is this man ever gonna restock on sleeves i just got back into the game and got told the sleeves are good so i was gonna try them out but never see them in stock
Not really if you have minstrel. I mainly use it to bait out everything first because if you have Harpooner, or one for one, you can just special summon Nepta from hand or deck. Also if you have Absysrhine you can just tribute her off and get Coelacanth's effect and make a board. Megalo, and Teus with body guards will get you Nepta if Diva is stopped as well. You can add the Poseidra retrain to trigger Body Guards when it comes out as well. Cards like Eria, and Pot of Desires will bait out your opponent as well. What I've noticed is that people forgot about Mermails or they weren't around when it came out so they forget you need Diva or Nepta to go off so they hand trap all your other plays then you drop the Diva or Nepta. Rarely do they wait for the Diva or Nepta summon because often times they have to respond. If I activate Pot of Desires you're not letting me get that off as it means I'm out about to set up an impossible board or I don't have my starter and I'm attempting to get it.
I agree I rather normal with prince or teus hell even shadow guards is a better option u literally can discard to activate. diva, u get hit u have no follow up play and no real use or extention through that body
@@martonyomchale342 Abyssshrine can only send Mermail or Atlantean monsters. You would just need another Mermail or Atlantean in hand and you could summon Deep Sea King and be fine. In this 50 card build I think Diva is good. But in a 43 or less card version, I would play one or none. You don't have to open prince in this deck to win, you have pike, teus, and shrine to get to the deep sea king as another win condition which is 9 copies of 1.5 starters, since you need to open water monsters with 2 of them and a Mermail or Atlanean with shrine. Plus, prince at 4 copies. Thats why this version is pretty nice, plus the 2 card combos with dragoons and shadow squad and discard outlet. And 3 card combos since pike or teus, plus water and discard equals prince as well since you can search shadow squad with them. that gives you 13 starter cards including one for one and the 2, and 3 card combos. At that point, I would play crossouts, or talents to help these combos go through or 3 minstrel. If you have room though, I'd say one diva wouldn't hurt.
@@AchromaZero That makes sense. Thank you. It made me wonder if there was an Asian English version I didn't know about that made it foil. But still not usable bc asian.
@@SleepyyNDeadbahamut shark is a soft once per turn. If it said “you can only use the effect of bahamut shark once per turn” then it would be a hard once per turn and you would not be able to use it a second time. Because it only says “One per turn”, it’s a soft once per turn, meaning if you can get a second one out (like in this case) you can use the effect again from that one. Hopefully that clears things up!
This basically my brother's deck. He hand loops 2 and puts a super poly negate and other negates, along with other interruptions. He said he can do a 5 hand loop if he wanted to but that's boring as he prefers to fight the opponent so he only hand loops for 2 with the water Elemental Lord. The new support most certainly will make his deck even more deadly
Oh but also my brother doesn't run non cards that don't go with the deck. He runs a pure water deck. He doesn't like Ash and Droll, its unfair to him against the opponent, especially with hand loop 2 already
Gotta ask tbh: why is it, that dragoon triggers after being XYZ material in TCG? cause under OCG rulings it legit doesn´t trigger and i cant find the explanation anywere right now. Just curious.
Good explanation for the water newbs :D what I dont get though is why run all the bricks you possibily can and everything at 3 offs no hard decisions whatsoever expecting to draw handtraps in a 50 card deck and then to be competitive? Not to mention copying the same combos ive seen which are pretty obvious by design of the new support. Wheres the innovation? Why is our water community or whole ofyugioh like this. Just ripping and stealing off eachother presenting it as new. At least shire hasbeen loyal water deck player. But that is as fas as it goes. Back on the forums before youtube took over yugioh. the innovators and the competitive creative minds would get the praise and recongition. Today its all about who gets the most views, who can scream the loudest and whom can rip the fastest.
Agreed. I played this deck for OTK. I like the board it builds if you go first. But imma use my nightmare shark to target my megalo to attack for 6400 directly 😂
@chavezjuan11 Yeah, I play the deck too and have been playing a lot lately, and if you play against high level players and have a lot of hand traps interactions you'll know this deck profile is trash but the person does have a lot of knowledge of the deck but not enough on the current deck building and current game.
Soooo Superancient doesnt play around shifter? All the atlanteans trigger wen sent to GY. Cool you get a lvl7 water and some pikes but that doesnt extend. These mermail builds are whack
Sam lied again to us, he said when he won the YCS yugioh tournament he played Yu Gio and he's still playing Yugioh i think ppl should un scnrie to sam and scrbie to seereax
I will watch her channel because I want to know the weak points of this deck as my brother only weakness(ish) is Nib. The deck eats hand traps and that's without these new support!😂 I really don't like that deck, especially that its brick is like a 5% chance of bricking.

Would love more content from small creators on your channel more often such a cool thing to do

My fav deck is back❤
What type of sleeves are you using for the holo on the deep sea minstrels ?
Deep sea diva has been a dead card. Gets hand trapped to hell

Is there a combo to literally rip 5 cards out of your opponents hand ?
@@abro484 yes!
Although I’ve yet to show it on my channel, others have posted videos about it!
How does one aquire those foil Deep Sea Minstrel's and the Abyss-Sting Triaina's? I can't seem to find them online.

Brick City
You’re high
First combo a misplay. Moulinglacia to graveyard makes you skip your next battle phase. You shouldn't remove it as material from from the XYZ..
Because it’s xyz material, it can leave the field and you can still attack next turn
It’s an xyz material
It's still a miss play bahamet is a once per turn effect
@@SleepyyNDeadbahamut shark is a soft once per turn.

Why no impulse ?
Ssooooo….. Felgrand deck profile when?
we need a mermail abysshire card please
Why is in the one card combo the better endbord, including the 2 card handloop and in the 2 card combo literally the same endbord, without handloop 😅?
love your content even though I stopped playing Yugioh after the Monarch structure deck came out but please lint roll your mic cover its super hairy
Where them sleeves at bro
51 cards???
Gotta ask tbh:
why is it, that dragoon triggers after being XYZ material in TCG? cause under OCG rulings it legit doesn´t trigger and i cant find the explanation anywere right now. Just curious.
Isn't Bahamut Shark's effect an once per turn? 🤔
its a soft once per turn each copy can use the effect, so she used it once each time it was summoned
The deck just has too many choke points and too many bricks. Drawing any 2 of those 1-ofs hurts really bad.
If u go first this deck f'n good. Why?Because 3000 atack bounce efect boss monster + min 3 card hand rip(i try omega ygo).I want see in md this deck
