Water Deck

Using A Legendary Ocean
Numerous water decks rely on this field spell card to perform powerful effects as discussed below.


 * Daedalus Method: One way to use A Legendary Ocean is with the Levia-Dragon - Daedalus or its superior, the Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus. Both monsters' effects require A Legendary Ocean or Umi to be activated. As a result, the entire field is destroyed except the Daedalus, leaving the user a clear field to perform direct attacks on the opponent. Normally, people would prefer A Legendary Ocean for this operation in contrast to Umi. This is because summoning the Levia-Dragon - Daedalus would only require one Tribute. Others prefer to use the card Big Wave Small Wave to summon the Daedalus, which is a smart addition to Water Decks regarding these tactics. Maiden of the Aqua can also be a replacement for Umi, allowing the Daedalus to trigger their effects even in absence of the actual field spell card.


 * Decrease Monster Level Method A: Another way to use A Legendary Ocean is to utilize its level decreasing ability on water monsters on the field and in the hand. Strong Level 5 water monsters such as Giga Gagagigo, Terrorking Salmon, or Catapult Turtle can then be normal summoned without Tribute, allowing the user a more efficient way of bringing out monsters to inflict heavy damage.


 * Decrease Monster Level Method B: Another variation of this method utilizes stall cards such as Gravity Bind or Level Limit - Area B to halt monsters above Level 4. Since the user's water monsters (preferably monsters originally Level 4) are decreased in level, then those monsters would be able to escape the stall cards. This allows Mermaid Knight or Amphibious Bugroth MK-3 to either attack twice or attack directly. In the case of the Bugroth, Limiter Removal can prove as a useful card. Spell and/or trap removal will be important, so Dust Tornado or Mystical Space Typhoon prove handy along with Solemn Judgment for greater versatility.

Supporting Cards: The user may also want to consider including Tornado Wall to protect Life Points while A Legendary Ocean, Umi, or Maiden of the Aqua is on the field. A Field Barrier may also come in handy to provide your field spell cards some coverage.
