"Umi" (海（うみ） Umi) is a series of cards focused around the Field Spell Card "Umi". All of the monsters are WATER-Attribute and it contains three Field Spell Cards, all being treated as "Umi".

Playing Style

A Legendary Ocean Deck

Numerous water decks rely on this field spell card to perform powerful effects as discussed below.

Daedalus Method

One way to use A Legendary Ocean is with the Levia-Dragon - Daedalus or its superior, the Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus. Both monsters' effects require A Legendary Ocean or Umi to be activated. As a result, the entire field is destroyed except the Daedalus, leaving the user a clear field to perform direct attacks on the opponent. If Abyssal Kingshark is on the field when you activate Daedalus' effect, the Shark is not destroyed. Normally, people would prefer A Legendary Ocean for this operation in contrast to Umi. This is because summoning the Levia-Dragon - Daedalus would only require one Tribute. Others prefer to use the card Big Wave Small Wave to summon the Daedalus, which is a smart addition to Water Decks regarding these tactics. Another good idea is using Warrior of Atlantis to search out A Legendary Ocean or Umi.

Decrease Monster Level Method 1

Another way to use A Legendary Ocean is to utilize its level decreasing ability on water monsters on the field and in the hand. Strong Level 5 water monsters such as Giga Gagagigo, Terrorking Salmon, or Catapult Turtle can then be normal summoned without Tribute, allowing the user a more efficient way of bringing out monsters to inflict heavy damage.

Decrease Monster Level Method 2

Another variation of this method utilizes stall cards such as Gravity Bind or Level Limit - Area B to halt monsters above Level 4. Since the user's water monsters (preferably monsters originally Level 4) are decreased in level, then those monsters would be able to escape the stall cards. This allows Mermaid Knight or Amphibious Bugroth MK-3 to either attack twice or attack directly. In the case of the Bugroth, Limiter Removal can prove as a useful card. Field Barrier will help in protecting A Legendary Ocean. Spell and/or trap negation and/or removal will be handy as well including Dust Tornado, Mystical Space Typhoon, or Solemn Judgment.

Weaknesses

One weakness of this Deck is that in order for monsters to reach their full potential, they must have A Legendary Ocean or Umi on the field. This is easily remedied with cards such as Warrior of Atlantis. Another great weakness of this deck is Tualatin, as it can stop you from Summoning any monsters. Adding cards such as Horn of Heaven and Bottomless Trap Hole can help you overcome these hazards.

Synchro Monsters

Xyz Monsters

A Legendary Ocean Decks to some extent could also utilize Xyz monsters. Due to the lowering of water monsters Levels, it would be easy to get out a rank 3 or lower Xyz monsters, specifically, WATER Xyz monsters. Also, using Level 5 water monsters, such as Giga Gagagigo or Terrorking Salmon, whose Levels are lowered by A Legendary Ocean, can summon out strong Xyz monsters, such as Bahamut Shark who can use his effect to summon out strong Rank 3 or lower water Xyz monsters who get boosted attack from A Legendary Ocean.
