Notes & Combos
It's the usual Umi Control decklist with a few changes:
-
Dark Ruler No More instead of Evenly Matched | This is a personal preference, Dark Ruler does a little less than Evenly Matched but it can't get negated reacted to or negated in most cases.
-
2 SSA and SSA2 instead of the usual 1 | Two of both do wonders on consistency and it really helps with grindgames.
-
An extra Mega Fortress Whale | Your opponent does not have any CBTG targets except for this card so running 2 has won me alot of grindgames I would've lost otherwise, especially versus Branded Despia since they have an extremely hard time once General Raiho hits the field.
-
Thunder Vassals | Credits to Zanzer0n on the Masterduelmeta Discord and the others in the Umi chat that helped me. This card does so much for the deck, I'll list a few below:
- Shuts down imperm turn 1
- Protects against most kaijus
- Provides a way to tribute summon
- Lock opponent out of summoning any non-water
Side notes: Instant Fusion can easily be replaced by either another vassal, Triple Tactics Talents, TCBOO or CBTG since crafting 3 Millennium-Eyes Restrict is absolutely not worth it. The extra deck doesn't matter much, only Coral Anemone and Knightmare Phoenix actually came up and N'tss once in a blue moon.
The deck is really fun to play since the choices you make actually matter alot most of the time.
I want to give a shout-out to Deepsea Darew and Simp King on youtube for getting me hyped to play water decks!
Top Secret Packs used

You weren’t kidding about Thunder Vassal. At the very least it likely means they’ll have to burn their battle phase to remove it so you’re guaranteed another turn.
Now find a use for Legendary Fisherman III because I pulled a Royal finish and don’t want to dismantle it 🤢

what about adding the TESTUDO brothers (there are 2 of them) they both locking Special SUmmon

This is a cheaper and better version of the deck: https://www.masterduelmeta.com/top-decks/win-streaks/november-2022/umi-control/lindetwin/m3n2C
