[quote][center]If this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "Mermail" monster from your Deck, except "Mermail Abysslinde". You can only use the effect of "Mermail Abysslinde" once per turn.[/center][/quote][/center]
I find it amusing how, despite the once-per-turn clause, its effect gives you a rather [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Mermail_Abyssmegalo]large advantage[/url].
And considering 2x Torrential and the fact Dark Hole could be dropped on it, it's effect is rather trollish as far as Mermails go(at least the way [i]I[/i] see it).
And part of me going to miss that old Mermail-Mash.dek I had...

The best way to use it is with end phase abyssphere. Ah, the shenanigans you can do with that, like summoning spike and discarding infantry to pop your opponent's big boss monster or summoning megalo for a quick and easy rank 7 OR an OTK with diva.

That being said, this isn't the *main* problem card of the deck. The 3 cards that need to be hit badly are undine, abyssphere, and dragoons.

[TheTurtleOnceCalledGod]

Poor undine, it gets all the h8.

[Sora1499]

Well, undine is a +2 that searches out bosses, soooooooooo...

[Cherz]

But, undine was fine until * Brr* mermails/atleantians...

Undine is a +1 that searches out a useless Tuner. He's not broken, Dragoons is.

1. Undine is a technical +2 because he doesn't necessarily die.
2. Since when are tuners useless? Gungnir is a card you know.
3. Dragoons wouldn't be half as bad if undine didn't exist. Undine is much more of a problem card than dragoons.

1. No, he's a +1. Dammit man, learn card advantage.

Hand to field = +0
Deck/Grave/Banish to hand = +1 or more
From Extra = +1, before factoring in what was given up, and is always a natural -1-4, until you factor in effects.
Destroying a card opp controls/in their hand = +1
Stealing a card they have = +2 (-1 them, +1 you)
Losign a card from your hand/field = -1
Deck to grave, Grave to Banish, banish to deck, and vice versa = +0
Etc.

3. No, Dragoons is definitely far worse than Undine.

[Sora1499]

All dragoons needed to be ok was a "level 4 or lower" clause... ;~;

[b0b3rt]

The Atlanteans are broken, not the cards that dump them. By their very nature they restrict future card design.

[Canadian]

Yeah, imagine if there was an undine for Dark Worlds.

I wonder which card would still be considered the problem. The undine or the Snoww / Grapha.

Think about that...

*before end phase
Activate it in the End Phase and it won't nuke until the next End Phase.

Think he meant "technical" as in "add one card to hand then *insert atlantean effect you just triggered here*"

The point is, there's better stuff to waste your Normal Summon on besides a potential Gungnir that can just get itself Solemn'd anyway.

Abyssphere doesn't summon the tuner.
And you just wasted your Normal Summon to add that Tuner to your hand.
So it's a slow synchro play when you're really only using Undine to trigger those guys from your deck that have freaking amazing effects.

[/quote]I am extremely skeptical that that was the case.

I'm just wondering why I read "Undine is a problem card".

A slow synchro play that can literally win games.

And it wasn't all those destruction/search cards that won it huh?

[Cute Rotten Yoshika]

abyssmegalo is a much larger problem than undine because abyssmegalo can activate 3 atlanteans for basically nothing and is a 2400 double attacker if that happens.

and abyssmegalo isnt even the main problem with the deck.
