Hammer Shark: deck recipe [Mar 2021]

Most of your monsters are Level-4, in which case Hammer Shark's effect is only good for Special Summoning Beautunaful Princess. But with the help of A Legendary Ocean you'll be able to Special Summon anything with Hammer Shark's effect. The Special Summoned monster (Buzzsaw Shark or Lantern Shark) can in turn use its effect to Special Summon another monster to swarm the field.

A Legendary Ocean is mainly run due to its Level reduction effect, putting your Level-4 monsters in-range of Hammer Shark's Special Summoning effect. This also gives you easier access to Rank-3 Xyz monsters such as Nightmare Shark. Lastly, the slight stat boost to WATER monsters is also nice.

Lantern Shark's effect upon summoning is essentially the same as Hammer Shark, letting you put another monster from your hand on the field. However, Lantern Shark's effect is able to naturally Special Summon Level-4s so you don't need the help of A Legendary Ocean to summon most of your monsters.

Additionally, Lantern Shark can inherently be treated as a Level-3 Xyz material so you can Normal Summon Hammer Shark, use its effect to Special Summon Lantern Shark then use both to make a Rank-3.

Buzzsaw Shark is also pretty straight forward as an Xyz enabler; use its effect and target itself to Special Summon another Level-4 from the Deck to make a Rank-4.

However, with A Legendary Ocean's Level modulation present on the field your only Special Summoning Target would be Shark Stickers.

Shark Stickers is a good field extender, because it Special Summons itself for no cost. Normal Summon Hammer Shark and Special Summon Shark Stickers. Hammer Shark activates its effect to become Level-3 so you can make Nightmare Shark.

Beautunaful Princess is very versatile because it lets you get to any Main Deck Shark you want. A combo you can perform to swarm the field is:

1. Normal Summon Hammer Shark. Use Hammer Shark's effect to Special Summon Beautunaful Princess.
2. Activate Beautunaful Princess' effect to Special Summon Buzzsaw Shark from the Deck.
3. Buzzsaw Shark Special Summons Lantern Shark or Hammer Shark from the Deck.
4. Make Spider Shark or Bahamut Shark.
5. If you chose Bahamut Shark, use its effect to Special Summon Nightmare Shark.

Teching in Graydles is just a way of giving this Deck the ability to make Synchro plays. Graydle Slime Jr. is just a Tuner you will pair with your Level-4 Sharks to make a Level-6 Synchro. Slime Jr.'s floating effect lets you Special Summon more copies of itself so you're likely to have a Tuner on board till the next turn.

A combo you can do is:

1. Normal Summon Hammer Shark and Special Summon Shark Stickers.
2. Use Hammer Shark's effect to Special Summon Slime Jr.
3. Use all monsters to make Graydle Dragon and pop three enemy cards.

Graydle Impact's main purpose is to fetch Slime Jr. The removal effect can also be used to destroy Slime Jr. with an enemy card.

Dewdark is another Tuner you can run in this Deck. It being an Aqua-type means you can use it for making Graydle Dragon, and because it has the same Level as Slime Jr. you can use the exact same combo mentioned before. Dewdark's direct attack effect can even occasionally steal you some wins like a mini Nightmare Shark, but can only realistically be used if it is the only monster on your field.

Great control card. The Deck has no problem getting Fish monsters on board, so you usually won't be worrying about cost. It even replenishes its own cost by letting you draw a card.

Canadia is good for disrupting combos; for example you can put Noble Knight Medraut face-down upon it being summoned. Monsters put face-down cannot be used as Synchro or Xyz material so Canadia is also good for disrupting Decks like Blackwing. And of course Canadia can be used defensively, putting an attacking monster face-down.

Special Summoning Canadia effectively gives you a free monster on board. This can be used as Xyz material with help from Territory of the Sharks.

Brionac's mass removal effect is great for breaking enemy boards. However, this Deck is not that great at gaining resources so use this effect selectively; like targeting Extra Deck boss monsters and possible battle traps.

Graydle Dragon's mass removal effect upon summoning is good because it doesn't require any further cost on top of the cost of making the Synchro. In this Deck, its relatively easy to make Graydle Dragon with three materials meaning we get to pop three enemy cards. Additionally all monsters in this Deck are WATER attribute so Graydle Dragon's floating effect is effectively a Monster Reborn.

Bahamut Shark's effect lets you put Nightmare Shark or Aero-Shark on the field for free. Both are good monsters for different reasons, but basically you'll only summon Aero-Shark to make Full Armored Black Ray Lancer.

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 doesn't have anything above 3000 ATK.

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

The ATK boost is good but the main reason for running Abyss Dweller is graveyard control. 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.

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.

You can cheat making Nightmare Shark by instead making Bahamut Shark then using its effect to summon Nightmare Shark. Nightmare Shark's first effect lets you attach an Xyz material to it even when summoned this way, so that you can still use it to direct attack.

Freezadon can be made with a combination of Buzzsaw Shark and Lantern Shark. This is done with their effects so the Level modulation by A Legendary Ocean will not hinder you from making Freezadon.

Freezadon doesn't really do anything on its own, instead it acts as a battery for other Xyz monsters. Important monsters that can make use of this are Spider Shark and Abyss Dweller. If ever, you should use up Freezadon's materials first before going through Abyss Dweller's materials.

Don't run Gaia Dragon in builds that use Territory of the Sharks.

Make Gaia Dragon by putting it on top of a Freezadon that has already spent all its materials. Essentially swapping it out for a stronger beater with a piercing effect.

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.

Aero-Shark is only made to upgrade into Full Armor Black Ray Lancer with your skill. FA Black Ray Lancer is a decent beater with a one-time protection effect. It also has backrow removal, but is ineffective against battle traps because the removal only happens after battle.
