Forum:Something Fishy

Yesterday, Konami announced that a new Fish-support card would be released in The Shining Darkness - Nimble Sunfish. In my opinion, this new card is great. So great that I decided to make a Fish deck!

This deck can perform a Fish Synchro OTK, but I think it can do more than simply that. Observe!

Nimble Sunfish is the first card, and it's run in threes. It special summons itself from the deck when destroyed by battle, and mills another Fish to boot! That's pretty good. Golden Flying Fish is a level 4 semi-beatstick at 1700 ATK, but its effect is what makes it great - I tribute another Fish to destroy one of my opponent's cards - a Fish like Nimble Sunfish. Metabo-Shark refills my deck with Fishes and has 1800 ATK, so that's pretty good. Royal Swamp Eel is the level 4 Fish tuner that you probably all know. Oyster Meister gives me a token after a synchro summon or tribute. Fishborg Blaster can be milled by Nimble Sunfish, and can special summon itself while Nimble Sunfish is on the field. Superancient Deepsea King Coelecanth is an obvious card to use - it's a FISH deck, after all. Finally, Mother Grizzly can search out Nimble Sunfish or Fishborg Blaster - whichever I see fit to summon.

For spells, I'm running 2 Pots of Avarice. Depending on how quickly this deck can fill up the graveyard in testing, I may run three. Moray of Greed is run at three - with 20 Water monsters, it shouldn't be too difficult to use. Salvage is also run at three, as it can refill my hand to continue with some of the discarding effects I'm running, and is ready to use as soon as a Nimble Sunfish is destroyed by battle. MST and Heavy Storm are staples. Lightning Vortex is a good discard effect (combos with Salvage). Brain Control can steal my opponent's monster for helping with an OTK or tributing for the Coelecanth. Finally, Smashing Ground can clear my opponent's monsters out of the way.

Trap Stun is the first trap, and with it, I can keep my opponent from ruining any OTKs. Fish Depth Charge clears out one of my opponent's cards and allows me to draw one, just by tributing a Fish. Solemn Judgment is great negation and keeps my OTKs intact. Finally, Trap Dustshoot is a very good card, so I figured I could run it.

The synchros are a bit interesting - they're obviously the key to my variant of the Fish Synchro OTK. Watch:
 * 1) Summon Superancient Deepsea King Coelecanth - I cannot have any other monsters on my side of the field at this point.
 * 2) Discard a card to special summon two Royal Swamp Eels, one Oyster Meister, and another level 4 Fish - either Metabo-Shark or Golden Flying Fish.
 * 3) Use Oyster Meister and a Royal Swamp Eel to synchro summon Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier. Oyster Meister special summons a token.
 * 4) Use the effect of Gungnir, discarding up to two cards to destroy up to two of my opponent's cards.
 * 5) Use Royal Swamp Eel, the level 4 Fish, and the token from Oyster Meister to synchro summon Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier. Its effect activates, removing cards from my opponent's hand, field, and graveyard.
 * 6) Attack Directly for 2500+2700+2800=8000 damage.

SO, tell me what you think of this concept deck. Runer5h 18:12, April 13, 2010 (UTC)Runer5h
