"Atlantean" (かいおう Kaiō) is an archetype of WATER Sea Serpent-Type monsters. They were first introduced in Phantom Darkness, with "Atlantean Pikeman". They later gained more members in Return of the Duelist and Structure Deck: Roar of the Sea Emperor, which also introduced their first support card, "Atlantean Marksman".

Playing Style

The focus of this archetype is to swarm the field with Level 3 or lower WATER monsters with the effects of "Atlantean Marksman", "Deep Sea Diva" and "Atlantean Armed Soldier" to later Tribute them for the summon of their ace monster, "Atlantean Dragon Poseidra", or to Synchro Summon with "Deep Sea Diva" and "Genex Controller", preferably the "Ice Barrier" Synchro Monsters.

Also, the effects of "Atlantean Marksman", "Atlantean Armed Soldier" and "Atlantean Dragon Rider" trigger when they are sent to the Graveyard as cost for a WATER monster's effect, so cards like "Abyss Soldier" and "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" would be a good add to the Deck.

Interestingly, the Atlantean effects also activate if they are detached from an Xyz Monster (the effect only requires the monster to be sent to the Graveyard, like "Dandylion"), so a great addition to this deck are WATER Xyz Monsters, like "Number 17: Leviathan Dragon". Here is a list of Rank 4 or lower WATER Xyz Monsters (all current Atlantean that share the effect are either Level 3 or 4):
