Mermail: deck recipe [Oct 20]

The 21st Main Box Cybernetic Rebellion is bringing Mermails exactly what they have been looking for since their introduction in Duel Links: a Turn 1 play. Mermail Abysslinde and Abyss-sphere are two incredible cards that allow you to Special Summon any “Mermail” monster directly from your Deck, giving you direct access to anything you need.

Use Abyss-sphere to Special Summon Mermail Abysslinde. If Abyss-sphere leaves the field, Abysslinde will be destroyed and it will allow you to Special Summon a “Mermail” monster from your Deck. Even if nothing happens to Abyss-sphere, during the next End Phase of your opponent’s turn after its activation, the Continuous Trap will destroy itself.

Keep in mind that, if your opponent responds to the activation of Abyss-sphere by activating Cosmic Cyclone, banishing the Continuous Trap, you don’t get to Special Summon any monster.

Abysslinde is a good monster to Special Summon with Abyss-sphere because it lets you float into something more permanent. Instead of summoning Abyssmegalo with Abyss-sphere which will self destruct, Special Summon Abysslinde then use Abysslinde's effect to Special Summon Abyssmegalo.

You also can use Mermail Abysslinde’s effect to Special Summon Mermail Abysspike and then use Abysspike’s effect to add a Level 3 WATER monster from your Deck to your hand.

You can Special Summon Mermail Abyssmegalo from your hand by discarding two WATER monsters. By discarding Atlantean Marksman, Heavy Infantry or Mermail Abyssgunde, you can get back some value from the resources you’ve invested to Summon Abyssmegalo.

When it’s Special Summoned by its own effect, Mermail Abyssmegalo allows you to add an “Abyss-” Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand.

You can use Abyssmegalo’s effect to search Abyss-sphere or any of the Abyss- equips.

• Abyss-scale of Cetus can be sent to the Graveyard to negate the effect of an opponent’s Trap Card;
• Abyss-scale of Mizuchi can be sent to the Graveyard to negate the effect of an opponent’s Spell Card;
• Abyss-scale of the Kraken can be sent to the Graveyard to negate the effect of an opponent’s monster.

Unlike Abyssmegalo, Abyssteus requires you to discard only one WATER monster in order to be Summoned and, to make it even more cost-efficient, it also allows you to add a Level 4 or lower “Mermail” monster from your Deck to your hand when it’s Summoned this way. Effectively, you summon it for no resource loss, and you can even gain advantage with the discarded monster's effect.

You can summon Mermail Abysspike, discard Abyssgunde, Special Summon Mermail Abyssmegalo from your Graveyard and then tribute Abysspike to give Abyssmegalo a second attack.

The discard cost on this low-level monster is one of the more versatile ways you can activate the effect of Abyssgunde and Atlanteans. This is because Abysspike's effect also activates when Special Summoned by Abyss-sphere and Abysslinde so you can use Atlanteans' removal during the opponent's turn.

Atlantean monsters are meant to be used as cost for your discard effects. When used this way their removal effects are also triggered. Atlantean Marksman is used to destroy set cards, while Heavy Infantry is used to destroy face-up cards.

Atlantean Heavy Infantry's extra Normal Summon effectively lets you make Xyz monsters. Summon another Atlantean after Heavy Infantry, activate Territory of the Sharks then make a Rank-4.

You'll practically always be drawing a bunch of WATER monsters in your starting hand, but what you want is a balance of discard monsters (i.e. Abyssmegalo, Abyssteus) and cost monsters (i.e. Atlanteans, Abyssgunde) so Moray of Greed is used to help you draw a better hand.

Spider Shark is a powerful boss monster in many WATER Decks, especially ones that use Territory of the Sharks. The Skill makes it very easy to get Spider Shark on the field. The first effect is enough to entirely deter the opponent from attacking while Spider Shark is on the field. It also lets you beatdown enemy monsters even though your deck generally has below average ATK without complete buffs.

The floating effect is essentially a Monster Reborn. You can even revive another copy of Spider Shark and other Extra Deck monsters.

Abyss Dweller is another popular Xyz monster run in Territory of the Sharks Decks. This monster is great at preventing the opponent from using resources from the graveyard such as The White Stone of Ancients and all Noble Arms. But making Spider Shark usually take priority.

Make sure to toggle your chain to "ON" instead of "AUTO" then use Abyss Dweller's effect at the start of the opponent's turn for best results.

Abysstrite is quite costly to make for its "lightning rod"-like effect. In case of enemy attacks, Abysstrite has a good chance of surviving with its 2800 DEF stat. But against targeting effects, this will most likely destroy Abysstrite because she has no inherent protection. While inefficient, some form of protection is technically better than no protection at all for an Abyssmegalo beside Abysstrite.

And at least she floats when destroyed. You can float into Abysspike, activate its effect and discard an Atlantean to destroy whatever destroyed Abysspike.

• Mermails are still quite fragile and most of their plays end up consuming all of their resources, which means cards like Drowning Mirror Force and Wall of Disruption can be devastating.
• Atlantean Marksman will often not be enough to get rid of your opponent’s entire back row, but there’s also not enough space for Hey, Trunade! or Cosmic Cyclone.

Leviathan Dragon is simply a beater that can't attack directly. But its 3000 potential ATK is the strongest in your Deck. You can also keep it at 2500 ATK if you want it to be able to attack directly.

Merrowgeist's effect can be useful to disrupt enemy decks that have a lot of graveyard recursion. But her low ATK makes it difficult for her to actually destroy monsters by battle unless Spider Shark is also on the field.
