Forum:Synchro Fish (Inspired by Akiza)

A while ago, I was looking at a similar idea, but didn't think much of it at the time. Recently, I remembered the combo for Shooting Star Dragon, and after thinking about it for a while, I put this deck together to try it out. It was really, really fun to play! (As it turns out, I remembered the combo wrong; Akiza's is actually better than the one I used.) Anyways, here's the decklist I put together. It's still a pretty rough idea, so any help would be more than welcome.

Okay, time to start explaining. Coelacanth is obvious. Metabo-Shark lets me recycle the used Swamp Eels and he's the biggest beatstick I have. Swamp Eel is obvious. Abyssal Kingshark is a big F U to Mirror Force, Bottomless, etc. Oyster Meister is good for getting the Cosmic Synchro Monsters and combos well with Fish Depth Charge. Unshaven Angler is nice on the first turn when I have Coelacanth in my hand. It's amazing how many people will not attack it because they think it's GB Hoplomus. Sucks for them, I get Coelacanth out. Dragonray Bronto is mostly there so I can use Black Brutdrago. Fishborg is obvious. Between Coelacanth and Fishborg, my hand tends to get pretty small. Morphing Jar is my answer to that. I did originally have 2 Golden Flying Fish, but found that I needed to use it for WATER support far more often than I needed it's effect. The reason I don't have Brionac or Goyo is that it is very rare that I can summon a level 6 Synchro Monster.

BIg Wave Small Wave is really nice for getting Coelacanth out, especially when I kill a Fishborg for him. Brain Control is not working out as well as I hoped, since Fishborg and Swamp Eel prevent themselves from Synchroing with most of the monsters I run into, but it's still good for stealing and Tributing/attacking. Plus, I can Synchro with it if I steal a Tuner. Heavy is a Staple. Moray of Greed is fantastic draw power, plus it can put Swamp Eels back in the deck for Coelacanth. MST is a Staple. Pot of Avarice is great for recycling the Fish used by Coelacanth, but it becomes a dead draw if I haven't used him yet. Star Blast is kick-ass for getting Coelacanth out on the first turn, and if need be (which it hasn't yet) I can adjust the levels of my monsters for Synchroing.

Bottomless, Call, Mirror Force, and Solemn are all Staples. Dark Bribe is always a useful card. Fish Depth Charge combos beautifully with Oyster Meister and Fishborg, and who can say no to draw power?

This deck plays pretty well. I usually don't have much trouble getting Coelacanth to my hand within a few turns. After that, it's pretty much over.

Phew! That was a lot. Anyways, if you read all that, thanks for taking the time to help me out, thanks in advance for all your suggestions, and lastly, a big thanks to Akiza for the idea! Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 16:31, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
