However, with the coming of the [[Tactical Evolution]], [[Phantom Darkness]], [[The Duelist Genesis]], [[Crimson Crisis]], and [[Generation Force]] Sets, new Fish have been released that make the type drastically more playable. Most noteworthy Fish monsters have effects that require the presence or tribute of other Fish to activate. More recently, new Fish monsters, "[[Banished FishSuperancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]] have been released", adding a new playing style to Fish decksmonster.}}

The idea of the '''Fish Deck used to be to summon "''' ({{Ruby|魚|さかな}} ''Sakana'') is a [[Superancient Deepsea King CoelacanthType]]" and use his effect to summon a combination of "[[Fishborg BlasterMonster Card]]"s and ". It debuted in ''[[Oyster Meister]]"s to [[Synchro SummonStarter Box: Theatrical Release]] '' in the cards required to perform an ''[[OTKOCG]]. However'', following the September 2011 List, this combo is no longer playable due to Blaster being Banned. However this strategy can be used with "''[[Fishborg LauncherLegend of Blue Eyes White Dragon]]", but Launcher has restrictions to what can be Synchro Summoned. A newer strategy is to use '' in the Deepsea King's effect to summon Level 2, 3, and 4 Fish monsters so as to '[[overlayTCG]] them into [[Xyz Monster]] cards that can prove to be quite difficult to summon on their own'', such as "and ''[[Number 96Deck Mod Pack: Dark MistHyperspeed Rush Road!!]]" and "'' in ''[[Number 10: IllumiknightRush Duel]]"''.

== Overview ==Fish Decks met monsters usually take the form of various fish, or sea mammals with piscine properties (usually [[wikipedia:Cetaceans|Cetaceans]] like whales and dolphins), though some other monsters also feature certain defining characteristic overlapped with the [[Sea Serpent]] Type, such as "[[Mermail Abyssmegalo]]", a reasonable amount Sea Serpent monster with an appearance of success at YCS Charlottea humanoid shark, as well as "[[White Aura Bihamut]]", a Fish-type monster that features marine reptile characteristic that were usually associated with three the Sea Serpents. Fish Decks making the top 32monsters are almost entirely [[WATER]].

Since While there are relatively few pure Fish-centric series and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXALarchetype]] starteds, Fish-type monsters have started becoming more prominent. One of were historically associated with the main character "[[Reginald KastleUmi (series)|Umi]] uses a Fish Deck, and the " [[Generation ForceField Spell Card|first booster pack during the ZEXAL eraField Spells]] included a lot of and were thus often shared their support cards for Fishwith other WATER-type monsters. The first related Types like [[Xyz MonsterSea Serpent]] revealed and that appeared [[Aqua]], in both a similar vein to the Anime and Manga[[Beast]], "[[Submersible Carrier Aero SharkBeast-Warrior]]", is Fish-typeand [[Winged Beast]] types.

==Playing Style==The additions of the ;''[[Tactical EvolutionYu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]], [[Phantom Darkness]], and ''* [[The Duelist GenesisRyota Kajiki (manga)|Ryota Kajiki]] packs have given much needed support to make Fish a viable deck option.

Fish rely heavily on using removal to allow them to perform their OTK without interruption, and therefore commonly run ";''[[Trap StunYu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]", "''* [[Heavy StormRyoga Kamishiro (manga)|Ryoga Kamishiro]]", and "[[Malevolent Catastrophe]]". "[[Gold Sarcophagus]]" is also commonly used to search out these cards.

Due to the degree of which Fish are reliant on "Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth", they must run a tribute engine. The only truly effective one for Fish at the moment is the ;''[[FrogYu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL]] engine, which has the added benefit of giving Fish access to additional draw power in the form of "''* [[Formula SynchronRyoga Kamishiro (D Team)|Ryoga Kamishiro]]". Running a tribute engine allows Fish to take advantage of popular tribute monsters, most notably "[[Caius the Shadow Monarch]]" and "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]".
