Sora1499 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Fantastic target for megalo and a shameless +2 that almost always results in a rank 7 and another big mermail during the end phase. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I think I might go try pure Mermails now so this card isn't as much of a dead draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sora1499 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I think I might go try pure Mermails now. But why? Mono-mermails are x2 better and can use this card just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihop Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 You don't even play Tidal... :( This card is nuts in Stream Merlants. Probably because it's not actually a card yet. Anyway this card seemed to be overlooked at first but now it's really powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BehindTheMask Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I had ten sitting in my stock before they were good. On the topic of Mono-mails, I believe the build is going to have to change again. The surprise factor is gone, and after thorough testing, its not as scary as everyone makes it out to be.

newhat Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I wish people wouldn't call a Deck that uses two different Archetypes "Mono-". It is not clear language. Funny that the biggest problem with this card is not lack of targets, but too many targets for your field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuh Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I personally don't understand the difference between Mono-Mermail or Merlanteans. Why does a deck of the same style need a new name when its just got no undine engine in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildflame Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I played Mermails without Undine before it was cool. That said, I haven't tried the new build yet, but I played against it, and this card can be quite a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synchronized Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 It's good but it's not as scary as you think. Dimensional Fissure absolutely annihilates it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does a deck of the same style need a new name when its just got no undine engine in it Basically "Merlanteans" was the name given to the original Mermail Atlantean Deck with Undines etc. Mono-Mermail is the Deck popularised by Billy Brake and Jeff Jones which ran 3 Abyssteus and cards like Abyssgunde and Abyss-Squall, and they named it Mono-Mermail. Technically Mono-Mermail is still Atlanteans but they play a lot more Mermails than the original. Also on the topic of whether they're good or not, they definitely are, they almost never open bad and have crazily easy OTKs and literally if you open Teus, Dragoons and 2 other WATERs, which isn't too hard, you will always win if you can get clear attacks. Trust me, the surprise factor hasn't got anything to do with it, it really is a fantastic Deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people say Mono-Mermail, they think of Billy's build. Calling them merlanteans is inaccurate by association, and since everyone has already adopted the term Mono-Mermails, that is the most accurate name for the deck BY DEFINITION. It's like calling bubble beat HERO beat. Yeah, it runs HEROs, and it's beatdown, but it draws up misconceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cute Rotten Yoshika Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 but it creates more confusion because the genex element was 2 fucking cards. removing two cards from your deck doesnt suddenly entail a brand new name. its merlanteans. mermails+atlanteans. youre all making this stupid and complex for exactly zero reasons.

It's the displacement of 7-8 cards, which definitely constitutes a new build. And you're making this into a bigger deal than what it really is for zero reasons.
