Editing Fish Deck

{{DecksAZ}}

The additions of the [[Tactical Evolution]], [[Phantom Darkness]], and [[The Duelist Genesis]] packs have given much needed support to make [[Fish]] a viable deck option.

The idea of this deck is to Summon [[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]] with either a standard [[Tribute Summon]], the effect of [[Unshaven Angler]], or [[Big Wave Small Wave]]. You can then use his effect to summon Monsters that can be used as Tributes for Summons, [[Spiritual Water Art - Aoi]], or [[Fish Depth Charge]]. For example, you can Summon [[Oyster Meister]], use it for [[Spiritual Water Art - Aoi]] and use its token for [[Fish Depth Charge]]. Or you can use [[Deepsea Macrotrema]] to give your other Fish a power boost for that turn (yes these are legitimate combos as the effects of Oyster Meister and Deepsea Macrotrema activate in the Graveyard). Finally, you can summon [[Ocean's Keeper]] to Tribute for [[Thousand-Eyes Jellyfish]] (which I strongly suggest against) or [[Cranium Fish]] (a very awesome card to incorporate, regardless of the use of [[Ocean's Keeper]]).

A few cards to take note of:

'''[[A Legendary Ocean]]''' - This make [[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]] require only 1 Tribute to Summon. You can also Summon [[Terrorking Salmon]] without a Tribute, which it will then be able to destroy the popular [[Stardust Dragon]] (which can really mess with [[Fish Depth Charge]]) by battle. The power boost is also slightly helpful.

'''[[Levia-Dragon - Daedalus]]''' - While not a Fish monster, if you use [[A Legendary Ocean]], you can use this as a back-up plan.

'''[[Umiiruka]]''' - Another Field Spell available. This one is solely for power boosts, however.

'''[[Cyber Shark]]''' - You can't Summon this with [[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]], but he'll be really easy to Summon with his help. You don't require a Tribute to Normal Summon him if a Water Monster exists on your side of the field. Just note that the effect of [[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]] forces you to fill as many Monster Card Zones as possible. Also, do not use this card with [[A Legendary Ocean]], as otherwise you would be better off using [[Terrorking Salmon]].

'''[[Cranium Fish]]''' - Possibly even more threatening than [[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]]. Discard a Water Monster to destroy a Face-down card! This gives you no fear of [[Bottomless Trap Hole]] for summoning your other Fish, or [[Mirror Force]] when you attack.

'''[[Abyssal Kingshark]]''' - Try not to summon this one with the effect of [[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]]. Its effect will be very helpful if you accidentally run into a [[Torrential Tribute]] or [[Mirror Force]], as he won't be destroyed (works once per turn)! You can also combo this with [[Levia-Dragon - Daedalus]] to clear the field, except two monsters you can use for direct attacks.

'''[[Golden Flying Fish]]''' - Feels left out, being a Light attribute monster. Essentially you have the [[Hand of the Six Samurai]] for Fish monsters. In fact, it's even more deadly here, to the point where if this and [[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]] are both on the field simultaneously, except when [[Golden Flying Fish]] is summoned by the Coelacanth's effect, you pretty much win.

'''[[Royal Swamp Eel]]''' - New card given to us from Crimson Crisis. [[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]]'s effect can summon two of these and two other level 4 fish, and voila! 2 level 8 Synchros! Of course there are other combos you can do with this, like 2 Deepsea Macrotremas for a Brionac with +1000 attack for the turn *ouch*

'''[[Salvage]]''' - Used best with [[Cranium Fish]]. You literally supply him with ammo when you use this card. Just be sure you have a good number of Fish with 1500 ATK or less.

'''[[Pot of Avarice]]''' - To repeatedly use [[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]]'s effect effectively, you can use this to recycle used Fish, then summon them again to counter the deck fattening!


==Recommended Cards==
===[[Monster Card]]s===
* [[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]]
* [[Levia-Dragon - Daedalus]] (if using [[A Legendary Ocean]])
* [[Cranium Fish]]
* [[Terrorking Salmon]] (if using [[A Legendary Ocean]])
* [[Cyber Shark]] (if not using [[A Legendary Ocean]])
* [[Warrior of Atlantis]] (if using [[A Legendary Ocean]])
* [[Ocean's Keeper]]
* [[Deepsea Macrotrema]]
* [[Abyssal Kingshark]]
* [[Golden Flying Fish]]
* [[Royal Swamp Eel]] (if you wish to use Synchros)
* [[Oyster Meister]]
* [[Unshaven Angler]]
* [[7 Colored Fish]]
* [[Penguin Soldier]] (tech purposes and [[Salvage]] fodder)
* [[Cyber Dragon]] (I would consider this a staple, and you can use this for any needed Tribute fodder for cards such as [[Cranium Fish]] if you want to use your [[Ocean's Keeper]] for its effect, or if it's not with you at the moment.)

===[[Spell Card]]s===
* [[A Legendary Ocean]]
* [[Umiiruka]] (optional/if not using [[A Legendary Ocean]]; you can even use both)
* [[Mausoleum of the Emperor]] (this can be helpful for summoning [[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]]... other stuff too but this is probably the main one)
* [[Terraforming]] (if using Umiiruka or Mausoleum of the Emperor)
* [[Big Wave Small Wave]]
* [[Pot of Avarice]]
* [[Salvage]]
* [[Lightning Vortex]]
* [[My Body as a Shield]] (swarming the way this deck does makes you VERY vulnerable to [[Lightning Vortex]] and similar cards; just ask [[Zombie Deck]] users)
* [[Monster Reborn]]
* [[Mystical Space Typhoon]]
* [[Heavy Storm]]
* [[Monster Reborn]]

===[[Trap Card]]s===
* [[Mirror Force]]
* [[Torrential Tribute]]
* [[Bottomless Trap Hole]]
* [[Spiritual Water Art - Aoi]]
* [[Fish Depth Charge]]
* [[Tornado Wall]] (if using [[A Legendary Ocean]])
* [[Dust Tornado]]
* [[Solemn Judgment]]
* [[Mind Crush]] (dependent on how many copies of [[Spiritual Water Art - Aoi]] is being run; you can also use [[Trap Dustshoot]] or [[Thousand-Eyes Jellyfish]] to make this card more potent)

==='''Other Options'''===

'''[[Ice Master]]''' - Summoning a mass of Water monsters for a discard makes summoning her easy. Her low attack for a level 8 and lack of synergy with the rest of the deck otherwise is why I hardly recommend using her.

'''[[Giga Gagagigo]]''' - Stronger than [[Terrorking Salmon]] by 50. However, it's a [[Reptile]] making him harder to fit into the deck. If you'd rather use this than [[Terrorking Salmon]], honestly you're better off using a standard [[A Legendary Ocean Deck]]. This applies as well to [[Amphibious Bugroth MK-3]] and [[Gravity Bind]].

'''[[Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus]]''' - Don't use this unless you end up making the deck REVOLVE around [[Levia-Dragon - Daedalus]] (which in that case would make it an [[A Legendary Ocean Deck]]). You can then call it a [[Sea Serpent]] deck (really, those are the 2 most playable Sea Serpents and the only Sea Serpent support card in existance is [[A Legendary Ocean]]).

'''[[Fog King]]''' - With a strong [[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]], along with another (possibly) strong Fish monster, you can probably make a powerful Fog King easily. However, you're suddenly unable to use [[Spiritual Water Art - Aoi]] or [[Fish Depth Charge]], or summon [[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]] or [[Cranium Fish]] without the help of [[Monster Reborn]] or [[Big Wave Small Wave]] (which would destroy this card).
