-------------------------
Welcome back for another wet Creative Deck Profile, and today's build revisits the Atlantean strategy now that the second half of the support has been revealed. I didn't want to just redo the same thing, so this take gives you a heavier Icejade take on the strategy, embracing Icejade Aegirine and other Icejade monsters to give the deck more of a grind game and less of a one-shot combo. If you want to see my more 'standard' take on WATER pile, be sure to check that out here: • CDP: Mermail Atlantean with Deep Sea,...
Now that you're back, let's talk about what is new. First up is the Atlantean version of Mermail Abyssteus, Poesidra, the Rumbling Atlantean. This Level 7 Sea Serpent Special Summons itself from the hand by sending another WATER monster from the hand/field to the GY, and when it's Special Summoned, it can also send an Atlantean or Mermail card from the Deck to GY to spin a card back to the opponent's hand. This becomes a third Level 7 that discards to Special, joining Icejade Ran Aegirine and Abyssteus, making it that much easier to Xyz Summon their new R7NK Xyz Monster, Abysstrite, the Atlantean Spirit. This extender Special Summons any Level 7 or lower Fish/Aqua/Sea Serpent on Xyz Summon, plus it can detach a material to set any Abyss- Trap to your field. While Abyss-Squall remains a solid option for flooding the field in a pinch, there's also the new Abyss-Team, which lets you draw up to 3 cards. Plus, Team has a GY effect to recover a Mermail card when a WATER monster is destroyed by battle/card effect. Beyond this, the rest of the deck is dedicated to making the most of the tsunami of WATER monsters available to you, invoking Synchro, Xyz, and Link Summons to control the duel and ultimately win the game with a splash and flourish. Enjoy the seaspray, with this alternative take on a meta classic!
