A card seen in almost every Water Deck is "[[Gravity Bind]]" or "[[Bubble Bringer]]", which will allow the player's Level 4 monsters to attack with "A Legendary Ocean" on the field, locking down the opponent.
* "[[Tidal, Dragon Ruler of Waterfalls]]" can also be a very good engine in any WATER Deck:
** In a "Mermail" deck, you can discard it and "[[Mermail Abyssgunde]]" to send a "Mermail" to the Graveyard, and trigger the effect of "Abyssgunde" and Special Summon the "Mermail" you dumped.
** In an "Ice Barrier" deck, you can use its effect to dump an "Ice Barrier" to later Special Summon by the effect of "[[Prior of the Ice Barrier]]" or "[[General Gantala of the Ice Barrier]]".
** In a "Frog" deck, it can serve to dump monsters for cost to activate the effect of "[[Ronintoadin]]".
Another good combo is using "A Legendary Ocean", "Tornado Wall", and "[[Astral Barrier]]". Attacks from your opponent become direct attacks because of "Astral Barrier" and "Tornado Wall" will make the direct damage 0. If you want to save this combo you can play "[[Imperial Custom]]", which will protect all your other continuous traps from being destroyed like your "Astral Barrier" and "Tornado Wall". Or you can play "[[Forgotten Temple of the Deep]]" which is also a Continuous Trap and is treated as "Umi", so it will be harder to ruin the combo because "Imperial Custom" will protect it as well. "[[Field Barrier]]" can also protect "Umi "and keep it on the Field.

A water deck is very versatile. It can lock your opponent down with the "[[Amphibious Bugroth MK-3]]"/"[[Mermaid Knight]]", Summon devastating beatsticks such as the "[[Giga Gagagigo]]" or "[[Terrorking Salmon]]" or control the field with "[[Levia-Dragon - Daedalus]]". Basically, it revolves many methods to win the opponent and all of them can be put into the deck. In most cases, they also have good stalling ability with support such as "[[Gravity Bind]]" and "[[Level Limit - Area B]]". They also have good defense cards to such as "[[Mother Grizzly]]", "[[Penguin Soldier]]" and "[[Nightmare Penguin]]". Not only do these card protect you from monster attacks, but either ruin your opponent's offensive or give you card advantage. Another combo is "[[Dupe Frog]]" and "[[Flip Flop Frog]]"; "Dupe Frog " has 2000 [[DEF]], and can only be be selected as an attack target by your opponent, which could create a lock when multiples of "Dupe Frog" are on the field. Moreover, when "Dupe Frog" is destroyed, you can search your deck or graveyard to add add another "Frog" monster. When used with "Flip Flop Frog", you can clear your opponent's monster cards.
With the advent of new WATER-based support in ''[[Ancient Prophecy]]'', "A Legendary Ocean" Decks have gained more power. Destroyed field cards can be replenished with "[[Divine Dragon Aquabizarre]]", while various new monsters have been made to take advantage of the level-reducing effect of "A Legendary Ocean" (such has requiring a level 3 or lower WATER type monster to be present on the field to activate their effects). "[[Aegis of the Ocean Dragon Lord]]" is one such card, and can turn into an OTK when used with its namesake, "[[Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus]]". In addition "[[Shark Cruiser]]" is a Level 5 Monster which, when destroyed by an opponent's card effect, search two Level 4 or lower WATER Monsters from your deck.
