Water Xyz: deck recipe [July 29]

Using Reginald's skill, any WATER deck that can swarm the field can consistently become a rank 4 XYZ, or even a level 8 synchro, despite their original levels. Even though they are only limited to WATER type extra deck monsters, some are already quite powerful to deal with the current meta.

With the use of Acid Golem, the deck also has another win condition, which is to give your opponent Acid Golem. It deals 1000 damage per turn, can't attack, and prevents your opponent from special summoning any monster.

Note: After the update apps ver 6.0.0, if you send an Xyz Monster that uses Atlantean Heavy Infantry as an Xyz Material to your Graveyard in order to use the effect of your WATER monster, the second effect of Atlantean Heavy Infantry will no longer activate.

Deep Sea Diva is great at enabling Extra Deck plays. Special Summon Atlantean Marksman / Heavy Infantry so you can use their effect when they get sent to the grave. Depending on which one you summon, you can synchro into a level 5 or 6, or activate the skill to make both monsters into level 4. This allows you to go into a rank 4 XYZ or level 8 synchro.

Going into an XYZ monster like Abyss Dweller can be a strong turn 1 play since it lets you activate its effect whenever you need it. Sending a Heavy Infantry essentially lets your Abyss Dweller have a quick destruction effect.

Basically, we Normal Summon Buzzsaw Shark and target itself with its effect. This Special Summons Silent Angler, then both monsters are used to make Spider Shark.

If you have Mystic Box in hand, then you can special summon Lantern Shark so you can XYZ into Acid Golem.

Currently, Level-6 has the best pool of WATER Synchros so a Level-4 monster like Silent Angler is a great pair to your Tuners. Special Summon Silent Angler for no cost then use it with Deep Sea Diva and Graydle Slime Jr to make Brionac and other Level-6 Synchros. Silent Angler also makes a great Xyz material. Normal Summon Silent Angler then Special Summon another copy to make Spider Shark or other Rank-4s.

Atlantean Marksman and Heavy Infantry can destroy enemy set cards and face-up cards respectively. Activate their effects by discarding them as cost for Abyss Soldier or Brionac's effect. This means you won't have to discard as much when trying to field wipe the opponent with Brionac.

With effects like Brionac's mass removal and Spider Shark's mass debuff available to this Deck, it's not too unlikely for Marksman to deal damage to your opponent. In this case you can Special Summon Atlantean Attack Squad to push more damage.

The extra Normal Summon by Heavy Infantry can help you combo into Level-6 Synchros. Normal Summon Heavy Infantry then Normal Summon Deep Sea Diva. Special Summon a Level-2 from the Deck then make your Level-6 Synchro. Or you could use Heavy Infantry's extra Normal Summon to swarm the field then activate Territory of the Sharks and make a Rank-4.

Only summon this when you already have at least another monster on the field, making it at least 2200 ATK. It becomes 2700 if you have Abyss Dweller on the field.

Special summon this using Diva's effect, or if you already have it in your hand, with Heavy Infantry instead. This lets you make a rank 4 Xyz and a 2700 ATK Attack Squad in 1 turn.

Canadia is a good tech card for disrupting enemy combos. The battle position changing can also be used defensively, flipping an attacking monster face-down.

Lastly, Canadia can be summoned as a WATER monster so you can adjust its Level with your Skill then use as Xyz material. It can also be used as Synchro material with Deep Sea Diva and Atlantean Heavy Infantry.

White Aura Dolphin can halve an enemy monster's ATK so you can attack over it. This effect has no cost and can be activated once every turn. White Aura Dolphin also has an inherent revival effect. In a Deck full of WATER monsters such as this, you can effectively revive White Aura Dolphin as much as you want.

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.

If you get first turn, there are 3 different options for XYZ that you can go into. Dragon Spider Shark is a pretty good boss monster with a floating effect, while Abyss Dweller can potentially prevent powerful combos from your opponent but you'll only have 1 monster on your field.

Bahamut Shark is the third option where you'll end up with 2 high ATK monsters on the field. It can serve as a good protection since it's harder to clear, but it's a turn 1 play because of Bahamut Shark's drawback.

Something to consider is that this is essentially a once per duel play since you only have 1 of each card on the extra deck. Bahamut Shark summons Nightmare Shark, which is used to special summon Black Ray Lancer.

If you have Acid Golem, you can special summon Acid Golem with no materials, which will deal 1000 damage per turn during standby phase. This is a strong turn 1 play to make if you have Mystic Box in your starting hand.

The only level 3 WATER monster in the deck is Atlantean Marksman. If you only bring 1 copy of it, then the only way to summon this is by using Bahamut Shark's effect.

If summoned this way, Nightmare Shark's effect is essentially useless since Bahamut Shark won't be able to attack. Only worth using its effect if 2000 ATK is enough to finish your opponent. Otherwise, Nightmare Shark is mainly used to go into Black Ray Lancer instead.

If summoned normally, then this card has 2700 ATK, but the easiest way to summon this is by going Bahamut Shark for Nightmare Shark into Black Ray Lancer, which will end up making it only a 2300 ATK monster.

It's mainly here to have another beater on your field. The effect of being able to destroy a spell/trap won't be that reliable due to its low ATK and many powerful spell/traps in the meta, but its effect to prevent destruction once is decent.

Acid Golem is an easily summonable rank 3 high attack beater, but it comes with some heavy restrictions in its effects. In most cases, these limitations rarely makes it worth to ever summon, but giving it to your opponent makes all the bad into a good.

You summon Acid Golem by using Bahamut Shark's effect, which will summon Acid Golem with no materials. Even though most effect damage cards are halved in Duel Links, Acid Golem's burn effect remains 1000 per turn, and your opponent will not be able to attack with it because it has no XYZ materials. Adding "Necrovalley" field spell potentially makes it a very strong form of control type deck.

You can either wait out the burn damage until you win, or use Number 47: Nightmare Shark to attack directly to make it faster.

You'll pretty much need to use Graydle Slime Jr. as the Tuner when making Graydle Dragon. Making a Level-8 Synchro with Territory of the Sharks is pretty easy because you'll turn both the Tuner and non-Tuner into Level-4 monsters.

Graydle Slime Jr. also acts as the revival card for Graydle Dragon. And the its floating effect essentially means you can replace it with another copy of itself.

Graydle Impact fetches Graydle Slime Jr. For the removal effect, you can destroy a Slime Jr. you Normal Summoned to revive Graydle Dragon. Or you can destroy Graydle Dragon if you have another (properly summoned) copy of it in the graveyard.

Upon Normal Summoning, Graydle Dragon will usually allow you to destroy two enemy cards, or destroy three if you summon it with Slime Jr., Silent Angler, and Heavy Infantry. This should be good enough to break the opponent's setup and put them in a bad spot. If you use three materials then Graydle Dragon can get rid of a full field of monsters.

Graydle Dragon's floating effect is also quite powerful, effectively letting you revive anything in this Deck, including Extra Deck monsters. If you have another copy of Graydle Dragon in the graveyard, you can choose that as revival target to have constant field presence.

These monsters can discard Atlanteans as cost to trigger their effects. Them being Level-4 monsters also helps you make Xyz plays when paired with Silent Angler. Abysspike can be Special Summoned by Buzzsaw Shark for a quick Xyz play, but you will lose out on activating Abysspike's effect.

A quick and easy monster to go into varying rank XYZ depending on what you want/have. Since most of the other monsters in the deck are level 2 or 4, you'll need to pair this with Buzzsaw Shark to XYZ into a rank 3 or 5. This will be how you can special summon Acid Golem.

While the deck can consistently summon Abyss Dweller, it may not be enough since there are plenty of ways to get rid of a monster, or even if it gets flipped face down.

Having Necrovalley simply adds another layer of that effect. It's strong enough to consider putting 1 copy into the deck since it helps shuts down so many deck types.

Mermails are another WATER type monster that has good swarming potential. Abyssteus and Abyssdine make a pretty good combo that will let you summon 3 monsters to the field, allowing you to summon XYZs monsters that require 3 easily.

Brionac lets you get rid of multiple enemy cards by also discarding as many cards as cost. This effect can even be used to clear your opponent's entire field. You can discard Atlantean monsters as cost for Brionac's effect for extra destructive power.
