Fire King's Biggest Rival Is About To Make A Splash!!! [ Mermail ] [ Yu-Gi-Oh Archetypes Explained ]

[@lelmone6856]

You forgot the best part of the lore where the Phantasm Spiral Dragon declares war on everyone all at once

[@VP-tn1ip]

phantasm spiral dragon got that dawg in em

[@dklounge7082]

Atlantean Dragoons works great with A Legendary Ocean since the field spell can turn your level 4 monsters into level 3 monsters that can pass through opposing monsters

[@gamerwolffang2722]

I gotta try this on dl lmao

[@SamiTheCannibal]

These archtypes have such a strong fan base. The max rarity decks are so expensive for that reason alone.

[@nkozi]

What is this, 2013? You're telling me I can just update my old deck with some new cards? Amazing.

[@user-sm1bi5ix6l]

The moment the new SD drops im prebuying. Hopefully they also have a baby poseidra

[@WickedDreadroot]

fun fact about abyssturge, apparently it is also the highest level 4 attacker without a downside. It rivals classic beatsticks like gene-warped warwolf and equals summoned skull

[@Petsinwinter2]

Ok, i knew FK and Atlantean were the same lore. I had _no_ idea mermail was part of that, too

[@joeywarren60]

These guys are my favorite way to run the spell "Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One". Use level 3s to go into "Number 71: Rebarian Shark", use it and another water to go into "Mistar Boy", put Seventh One on top of the deck, then next turn use its effect to go into "Number 101: Silent Honor ARK" and as a result go into "Number C101: Silent Honor DARK", optionally use DARK's effect, then overlay "Full Armored Crystalzero Lancer" on it. Or you can use the level 4s, go into "Bahamut Shark", use it's effect to go into Rebarian Shark, then link both of them into Mistar Boy and do the same thing!

[@nicholase82]

I kinda wish there was a new structure deck.

[@cancerstinks1]

Maybe there’ll be a new one soon since Fire King got one

[@al_2331]

Yeah they're next in line so hopefully we'll see it Revealed this year

[@hyperspacesushi]

I always add a copy of Abyssteus & Abyssnerei into my Icejade deck! Abyssnerei's effect comes up more than you know and can make a seemingly innocent board go from a decent endboard to an OTK in seconds It also helps trigger your in-GY Acti/Tremora to help you extend! If you end on Abyssalacia, you can also discard a WATER during your opponent's turn (which, if you discard Heavy Infantry, is GREAT) to grab either of the two for extension next turn and/or battle phase shenanigans Abyssalacia is a REALLY underestimated card, and people *seriously* need to stop popping Abyssalacia before they read her effects...

[@CrazyAce777777]

I enjoy this like Fire vs Water meta going on right now its fun

[@samwill7259]

So what separates which Atlanteans get to be gorgeous anime people with 8 pack abs and which ones are the cute frog people with the big bug eyes?

[@travisasselta9140]

That is one of my favorite decks I play IRL and hope they get more support soon.

[@Mannyindahouse]

I love the Atlantean deck. I consider it my go-to archetype

[@G0Girt]

Thanks! Atlanteans has a special place in my heart. A deck I seriously put my Yugioh heart into. I remember you mentioned a guy that loved morphtronics and mastered that archetype despite the meta… that’s me when it comes to this archetype. Forever my No. 1 deck.

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear I could do your favorite cards justice!

[@albertorodrigomolinasortiz471]

When they came out, I outright rejected Mermails and Atlanteans, as I felt I was not being faithful to my Fish cards. Now in Master Duel I run the Mermail that searches lv3 monsters from the deck, and the Link. Still can't remember their names.

[@digunder14]

32:49 not to mention is also has solid defense if you are in need of a bit of extra blockage

[@ShiningGurren]

Dragoon more like Floor Tank, I kid I kid

[@MetronaJ]

Just to note: a legendary ocean is atlantean's umi The japanese name is "atlantis, the legendary city"

[@yofyo]

great video as always. cheers :)

[@CommanderJaime]

I started getting back into modern Yu-Gi-Oh for fun decks. I picked up Mermails and this video was fantastic! Love learning more and more about the archetype! I just discovered your channel. Keep up the great work! P.S. Love the Vs Yorkist song from Duelist of Roses. Great game.

[@EthanKironus8067]

The Level thing with Dragoons' direct attacking and Poseidra's tribute requirement can be ameliorated with 1 card: A Legendary Ocean.

[@frankyquilavafireblast895]

Did somebody say rank six? Hello Beatrice, you beautiful lady!

[@EthanKironus8067]

I've always thought that Abyssgaios was made to be in Arc-V. Its attack lock for Level 5 or higher monsters is a perfect counter to the Obelisk Force bar the burn damage from Hound Dog and Ultimate Hound Dog's LV-halving effect, and I know there are continuous cards out there that would fit. 17:05 - Abyssbalaen's effect isn't quite so bad when you consider that it destroys cards up to the total of Mermails in your GY, whether or not that's just the 4 you discarded, and unlike 90% of similar cards it DOESN'T NAME-CHECK THEM. That part is kinda wild, because with a little comboing you can turn it into a board-breaker that you might even be able to chainblock with the discard effects you triggered! Literally, it could wipe a full 11-card board if you had a full GY!

[@umbralumbreon7380]

If your opponent fills their board entirely, 13 names is needed to totally nuke their field

[@Trevor1290-b9y]

I love Mermail Abyssdine so much. She is so cute, friendly and sweet. She even looks like someone to hang out and play with rather than battle. I would 100% play and hang out with her. I even see and treat her as a person. I love this adorable Little Sea Angel! 😇💖

[@Aquazeem]

I can't believe I missed this one!! There's no better time to catch up though! 🐟🐟🐟

[@ahmes004]

The trend is that after Nova covers an archetype, Konami flags it down for modern support immediately And I love that

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

It is my gift AND my curse.

[@brandol75]

also, the abyss equip spell's armor have their identify color of what they negate.

[@23gameoverlord]

I only know of the Poseidon side because of it's boss monster, and the soilder monsters. As for metmail I had all of their high lv. Mons at one time. I'm not quite sure how to rank these cards myself, I feel like both need more support.

[@trappestarrgaming3422]

Abyssturge atk/def is wrong its 1700/1100

[@ConspoAlt]

im confused on the lore... did poseidra turn into abyssgaios because he found the bracelet? but what does that have to do with the prince?

[@jeffreyblount5745]

Abyssgaios is my favorite because it reminds me of the maximum monster:poseidra

[@matthewbickerton5276]

Hoping for the structure deck r for this is announced soon

[@Lunari_wolph]

YESSSS

[@user-os4vs4gq9r]

I love the legend of the dragoon music you play. God please give me a remaster

[@Trekkie46]

Part 4: Frontier Village theme. Took me way too long to figure that out. But I'm rather pleased with it. Why not use Meru's theme?

[@AdamFSmith]

This music reminds me strongly of something from the Umineko soundtrack, but I can't put my finger on it...

[@joshuacimmiyotti5029]

What about deep sea diva as a tech pick?

[@andrewjohnson8919]

Who is here since Mermail got new support

[@halfrohp]

Wait, doesn't the fact that they're sent for cost stop their discard effects from going off?

[@halfrohp]

The Mermails I mean

[@goodpeople25]

@@halfrohp Sent for cost is one of those things like "when" effects where that's not the only factor at play (see the mandatory when effects in Atlanteans) but it is easier to teach people that "when" is something you have to look out for in regards to missing timing then explaining everything. In this case Abyssgunde (not sure which other mermail specifies a discard) specifies if it's discarded at all, cost comes into play if a card needs to be (discarded/etc) by a card effect.

[@michaelgood3666]

Abyssturge has the wrong atk and def just to let you know

[@wanderlustwarrior]

Could you add Atlanteans to the title?

[@trappestarrgaming3422]

Its kind of a given their together lik spellbooks and prophecy cards

[@happyfat4620]

PoCyDra?

[@obansari]

Where is the LORE? I hate the fact that this is the best yugitube has to offer. There are so many lore cards out, yet no one covers it and this dude just does puns.

[@IG_ImDoinGud]

Mayakashi & Shiranui have the same lore but don’t mesh well. Time & time again they show us Zombies are too dangerous to give a meta deck.
