[@MondoPaolo99]

I love the use of the Armored xyz package in the deck, also, by playing the trap and the shark you enable the use of lancer, which coul be useful if you don't wanna spam toads and have space in the ED. The water ED's power is shining through with this deck!

[@axelmolinabotello1306]

Love to see your videos back! Also love your endboard and perspective with the deck. This makes the deck have tons of interaction even against the most devastating board breakers like Sphere Mode. I actually end on the same board as you with only Neptabyss, but I do it with Yamatako Orochi instead of the Armored Xyz cards. Basically, with Poseidra instead of discarding Minstrel, you discard Infantry, Special summon from grave Bodyguards, Spirit and Infantry and with Abyssgunde you special summon Abysspike. Go into Levirtue, then use Triana to special summon Dragoons, special summon Bahamut Shark and Toad, triggering Dragoons to add Yamatako Orochi. Link Levirtue and Bahamut into Abyssalacia and use Infantry’s second normal summon effect to normal summon Yamatako Orochi and make Icejade Gymir or Chengying with them. Just another option in case you want some Extra Deck economy since you don’t need to run Armored Fortress nor send a Rank 4 to the GY for Armored Shark, but definitely better for decks that wanna run Full Armored Lancer. Thanks for the video!

[@shireygo]

@@axelmolinabotello1306 Thank you for the kind words! That’s a really awesome play! I will look into this!

[@BringinJustice]

Great video Shire! Between all the cute curses and the imformative combos, i left with knowledge and a smile on my face. Happy your making videos ❤

[@vig8384]

that card flip at the start was so clean that I just spent 20 mins trying to do it

Another banger by Shire. It's so crazy how good water is now. Our time to shine.

[@fg00000]

I love the style of your videos! Keep the water videos coming please

[@ericraedel1181]

Love the combos, shire! Always look forward to your content! On my yugioh channel, I actually was just about to post my combo vid with diva as a one card combo. I didn't think to use the armored xyz cards tbh, I think I'll try that out!! I play sharks so it seems pretty smooth. Your first line was already much more extensive than mine. Oh, and #ultimategang cheers!

[@dagobertobobadillajr7670]

This is awesome!!! Been getting the core slowly with only 1 prince missing. This deck looks a lot of fun and can't wait for ot to come out in October ^^

[@hectormoreno3940]

This looks crazy good. Looking forward to seeing other combos and deck profiles :)

[@cramcram5509]

We NEED an in-depth deck profile and combos. I'd LOVE to play a water deck, with some of the most degenerate combos I can consistently pump out

[@Moonsong]

I have been looking at combos online and the ones you did here are my favorite

[@LamboJ20]

Love to see you back makin' vids regularly:) (I'm guessing we got u secured for at least another year till they ban atlantean dragoons, jk) Couple of things to note here: 1. I really love the inclusion of Armored Shark, I really wanted to play fortress but I couldnt find a way to make him useful without having to play the armor xyz trap. I'm gonna try to fit dark knight lancer into a combo since i think it's another cool layer of disruption with the armored shark and Neptabyss link, and it can potentially be good going second to break boards. 2. I noticed you were playing 3 bahamut sharks which I think takes up too much space in the extra for the combo so alternatively you could just get back the 2nd one you dump with Armored Shark via Levirtue Dragon's 1st eff to add from gy to hand the bahamut. Also would like to see you make a tutorial later on about playing around handtraps since it's what I fear might be this decks' weakness if we're still in a ht heavy meta.

[@KryselITG]

Ive been playing Mermails for a bit too, and its cool we got new support that facilitates cards outside of dragoons. My endboard would usually be something like Abyssmegalo, Ravenous Dragon Crocosaur, and something else (usually Moulinglacia). Usually would end in an OTK if their field was cleared since Megalo would be attacking twice.

[@Brianpeppers15]

Megalo + equip spell + 2x has always been good, OTK'd all the time back in the day. 6400 pts of dmg just with his 2 attacks.

[@kingofringx3]

I remember watching your mermail videos years ago! Recent videos didn't hit my algo sadly. Just found you again bcuz of the new support :)

[@malekchatti3526]

Bro i love your videos keep it up. we need the deck profile btw

[@fpsboss24]

List? I’ve been wanting to play something fun and this looks right up my alley! Great content! Just earned yourself a new sub!

[@Wanze2]

Really glad you liked my idea for the prince combo video from the fb group :D. Very cool adaptation of it for the diva play as well. Actually haven´t thought about grabbing megalo instead of infantry, but that makes a lot of sense. Have you considered playing coelicant to play through handtraps? With pikes and armored sharks you already play 4 fishes if you go for 3 pike. Add one harpooneer and you can actually make white aura monoceros for more bahamuth toad /link plays and you can overlay coelicanth + monoceros for gaios plays. Love to see a deck profile idea some time :)

[@ReyMercuryFGC]

[@n.wildetv9274]

New sub here! water looks so dope rn, can't wait. I agree with your comment of Diva. Diva seems like a such a strong starter for the deck, specially after you Minstrel. What are your thoughts on crossout? cuz Droll is a card :(

[@silkwalker323]

I totally agree with you on not to cut diva so much combos

[@kendrip6960]

[@requiem-tcg]

Like I was never into mermails or atlanteans that much, but this deck looks fun. I do like complex and different combo lines depending on information. The only issue for me is I don't have the experience with the Deck. Would be interesting to see a full combo breakdown video for each combo line and a in depth deck profile

[@yungcobalt]

dope combos thanks for showing the power of the future of water. is there a possible combo that could rip 4 or 5 from opponents hand?

[@FlipBoji]

I’ve been playing mermail on duel links lately, but since seeing your amazing portfolio on water in the physical copy, I’ve seriously gotta know where I can get the UTR dragoons because they looks SO good!

Whomever is saying not to run Diva is an insane person. Great breakdown! Relly interested to see how the deck develops. What is your opinion on Coelacanth since you can summon it off Abysshrine?

[@Lord_Labrynth9147]

I’m not sure if you’re familiar with him but there’s another water deck enthusiast who (iirc) runs a channel called DeepSeaYGO. He’s been on some various Icejade/Atlantean/Ice Barrier brews for some time, theorycrafting them. One thing he brought up during his experiments with Icejade Atlantean was using an Ib the World Chalice Justicar package since both Beckoned and Ib are waters. Do you think it could be useful here?

[@drereapz3525]

I recommend you have the water barrier statue incase you brick , also another good normal summon !

I feel like tidal works better in here than anywhere else. Rank 7 plays, discard to mill effect triggers merlanteans too (the discarded one, not the milled one). And the mill can send nimble angler!

whats crazy is that until the 2nd bahamut, there are no repeated carsd. i was looking for combos for Domain format and putting either of these two into the deck master zone means you guarantee the combo every time unless theres a handtrap which even if there is doesnt matter because you've spent none of your hand advantage to start the combo lmao

[@jeanprinsca2308]

How many cards are you running?

[@PeterVGC]

I'm not a big fan of adding more "engine" to Mermail Atlantean, like the new Fish monsters and their spell/trap cards. I personally think it's too charged, the risk of having dead hands becomes higher (tho in Mermail Atlantean it's pretty uncommon), it is in my opinion an unnecessary risk to take. Virtue Stream isn't that good going first since you often end with 4-5 negates/rupts + discarding 2 from your oppo's hand, (they almost never recover from that) + having to self-destroy a monster isn't something you like in Mermail Altantean archetype since you don't trigger their effects this way, and it's kinda useless going second. Overall, the Shark archetype will just slow Mermail Atlantean's pace. Also, Abyssleed in the second combo is interesting for the additionnal discard, but suffers from the same thing as sharks, slows the deck (3 monsters to be summoned is way too much) and is pretty much useless if drew.

[@0dddballl750]

No max rare bahamut shark? Who are you and what have you done with Shire!? Real talk though, what do you think of the 5 card hand rips that you're able to do with just neptabyss, with the side effect of having a significantly weaker endboard?

I used to have atlantean mermails in high school, sucks that this entire deck loses to "I summon Neptabyss and declare his effect, any response?" "ash blossom/imperm" Also if they somehow brick every single card in their hand besides having a Nibiru we lose to that too. This deck can only really fully pop off if you play casually with friends and ban all hand traps and imperm

[@shireygo]

@@thatlonewolfguy2878 with all due respect, Are they Ashing the dragoons search? Or the Dragoons’ search?

[@ericraedel1181]

I feel that's true if you open no discard outlets, given they know to wait for the dragoons eff to ash. If they ash the neptabyss, that's actually intuitive to molding your lines. Also, now we'll probably be sending bodyguards as prince's cost so dragoons has a friend 😂 minstrel does deal with nibiru and imperm too!

[@Wanze2]

@@badtimer2457 If prince gets negated it´s a very good backup plan. I run 3 pike + the armored shark + 1 harpooneer + 1 white aura monoceros in the extra to still have an insane combo if prince gets negated. you quite often run out of meaningfull discards if 1 of your plays gets negated, so coelicanth brings a lot of gas back on board in that case.
