Aquaactress: deck recipe [Dec 2020]

“Aquaactress” monsters are able to quickly swarm the field and add cards from the Deck to the hand, they can take advantage of the “Aquarium” Continuous Spell Cards to make up for their naturally low ATK and DEF, together with the Field Spell Wetlands, and they can catch the opponent off guard and surprisingly generate a lot of OTKs.

I’m not going to sit here and tell you that this deck is either competitive or consistent, but, if you’re looking for something fun to play with, you have come to the right place.

This Level 1 Aqua-Type monster gives you access with its effect to both Aquarium Set and Aquarium Lighting, the two Continuous Spell Cards that support this archetype, it has very low stats, but it can benefit from the Wetlands and reach a decent amount of ATK.

This card allows you to, once per turn, Special Summon an “Aquaactress” monster from your hand, making it quite easy to get even the Level 6 Aquaactress Arowana on the field.

More importantly, Guppy's swarming effect combined with the Skill Territory of the Sharks is a great Xyz enabler. This gives you access to practically your entire Extra deck, most importantly Spider Shark.

Arowana is Level 6 monster, it’s a bit more difficult to summon and quite bricky to play with. But you can Special Summon it from the hand with Aquaactress Guppy and it can reach over 5000 ATK with support from your Aquariums. She also serves as a constant search engine for the deck, fetching the other Aquaactresses.

These are the two cards that Aquaactress Tetra can add from the Deck to the hand:

In summary

• Aquarium Set is a slight ATK boost to your monsters.

• Aquarium Lighting doubles the ATK and DEF of Aquaactress monsters when they battle.

When sent to the graveyard, both of these Continuous Spell Cards will also Special Summon an Aquaactress monster from the Graveyard.

Once you pair these cards together and add Wetlands on top of it, you can start to see what this deck can accomplish; with Wetlands, Aquarium Set and Lighting on the field, Aquaactress Tetra, the monster with 300 base ATK, reaches 4200 ATK during damage calculation.

Wetlands provides a huge ATK boost but only to a very specific set of monsters. It just so happens that your low-level monsters qualify for this huge ATK boost, which can be stacked on top of the Aquarium buffs.

Paleozoic Canadia is a great card that can slow down your opponent while you set up your board.

After using it, you can Special Summon Canadia from the Graveyard by chaining it to a Trap Card as a Level 2 WATER Aqua-Type monster; Canadia will benefit from Wetlands and Aquarium Set and it has inherent protection against monster effects.

Shark Drake is great at pushing damage with its multiple attack effect. It will also revive a weakened enemy monster it destroyed, letting you hit it again to push damage. However, this effect is usually not worth the three monsters it costs to make it. Your Main Deck monsters with Aquarium buffs are generally more effective at dealing damage.

Spider Shark is by far your most powerful Extra Deck monster so you want to get him on board whenever you can. 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.

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.

• Consistency is kind of an issue with this deck: you only have three Monster Cards and Arowana is kind of a brick without Guppy as most of the times you will not Tribute Summon it;
• Common Trap Cards like Treacherous Trap Hole can easily mess up this deck;
• Backrow heavy decks like Amazoness are difficult to deal with, even when you have your backrow removal available.

Backrow removal is quite essential in this deck as it makes it easier to attack with your monsters:

Hey, Trunade! is obviously quicker than Galaxy Cyclone, it will force your opponent to either activate their Spell/Trap Cards or have them bounced back to their hand, whereas Galaxy Cyclone is limited to one Set Spell/Trap Card on activation, but you can use it again starting from the following turn, banish it from the Graveyard and get rid, for example, of an Amazoness Onslaught.

These are the first expensive cards in the decklist and they may put you off, but don’t worry: you can run any type of backrow removal, even Double Cyclone is a decent option as it synergizes with the two Continuous Spell Cards.
