Editing Card Tips:A Legendary Ocean

{{Navigation}}

* This card can be [[Searcher|searched]] by "[[Warrior of Atlantis]]", "[[Ocean Dragon Lord - Kairyu-Shin]]", "[[Terraforming]]", "[[Ancient Fairy Dragon]]", "[[Cosmo Queen, the Queen of Prayers]]", "[[Madolche Butlerusk]]", "[[Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken]]", "[[Favorite Hero]]", "[[Planet Pathfinder]]", "[[Cattycorn]]", "[[Horned Saurus]]", "[[Metaverse]]", "[[Set Rotation]]", "[[Demise of the Land]]", "[[Pop-Up]]", "[[Rainbow Bridge of Salvation]]", "[[Majesty Pegasus, the Dracoslayer]]", "[[Ghostrick Renovation]]", "[[An Owl of Luck]]", and other [[List of generic searchers#Spells|generic searchers]].

* This card works well with "[[Gravity Bind]]" and/or "[[Level Limit - Area B]]". It lowers the [[Level]]s of all [[WATER]] [[Monster Card|monsters]], allowing them to attack, while the opponent's non-WATER monsters cannot.
** "[[Mermaid Knight]]" and "[[Amphibious Bugroth MK-3]]" both work well in this strategy.

* This card also works well with Level 5 or 7 WATER monsters, since they can be [[Normal Summon]]ed with one less [[Tribute]] while this card is [[face-up]]. "[[Giga Gagagigo]]" and "[[Levia-Dragon - Daedalus]]" are good cards to use for this, as the former will have the most [[ATK]] you can Normal Summon using this effect, and the latter can perform a [[Field Clearing|field wipe]] after it's Summoned.

* Works well with "[[Infected Mail]]" and a "[[Stall]]" Deck with a monster recycling engine.

* This card and "[[DNA Transplant]]" can be used to upset the Levels of monsters players plan using to perform [[Synchro Summon]]s or require them to use more monsters in the Synchro Summon.
** You can use "[[Possessed Dark Soul]]" in combination with the combo from before to take control of all of your opponent's monsters which became Level 3 or less due to this card.
** You can also mess with your opponent's [[Xyz Summon]]ing with the above strategy.

* This card combos well with "[[Amulet of Ambition]]" and "[[Atlantean Pikeman]]". The Level of "Pikeman" will become 1 and it will have 1600 base ATK, allowing it to defeat just about any worry-worthy monster in battle. "Pikeman" will also be eligible for "[[Opti-Camouflage Armor]]", allowing it to attack the opponent [[Direct attack|directly]].

* This card works well against "[[Burden of the Mighty]]".

* This card makes it more difficult to Synchro Summon, which is particularly harmful if you use "[[Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]".
** Although in some cases it may make it harder to Synchro Summon, combining this with "[[Grave of the Super Ancient Organism]]" will prevent your opponent's Level 6 or higher [[Special Summon]]ed monsters from attacking or activating their effects while letting your Water/Level 6 Synchro Monsters be able to attack and activate their effects. A perfect example is "Brionac" since it will become a Level 5 monster, evading the effect of "Grave of the Super Ancient Organism". Another good possibility is "[[Dewloren, Tiger King of the Ice Barrier]]".

* This card can be useful when using an "[[Atlantean]]" Deck that focuses less on [[Extra Deck]] support. Through the effect, "[[Atlantean Dragoons]]" Will be able to attack directly with its own effect, while also letting "[[Atlantean Marksman]]" get through an opponents monster frontline to deal damage, allowing the easy Summon of "[[Atlantean Attack Squad]]". If both "Marksman" and "Dragoons" are on the field, and "A Legendary Ocean" is present, it is likely that you will be able to deal over 6000 damage in a single turn.
** Also, thanks to the effect of "A Legendary Ocean," all of the "Atlantean" monsters (except for "[[Poseidra, the Atlantean Dragon]]") will be able to use "[[Aegis of the Ocean Dragon Lord]]", allowing for easier plays against Decks that would otherwise destroy the cards before any damage can be dealt.

* This card can be useful in a "[[Nekroz]]" Deck, as it reduces the level of the [[Ritual Monster]]s in your hand, allowing them to circumvent the Level-specific restrictions many of them have. For example, "[[Nekroz of Gungnir]]", a Level 7 Ritual Monster, prevents you from using a Level 7 monster to Summon it, but with this card reducing its level by 1, you can use "[[Nekroz Kaleidoscope]]" and send a Level 6 monster from your Extra Deck to cover the Summon with one card (or use a Level 9 monster to Summon "Nekroz of Gungnir" and "[[Nekroz of Unicore]]", now a Level 3 monster, simultaneously).
