Not too worried about the Extra Deck right now.  It's pretty much generic.

 

Here's the thing - I'm contemplating Salvage, because I think it would be good in here, and I'd like to cut Diva down to 2 more than likely.  Atlantean Attack Squad is just here as an additional Deep Sea Diva target as well as the fact that it can do a good amount of damage in combination with Atlantean Marksman, so I'm not too sure on what I want to do with that one.

 

In testing, Abyss-scorn has actually been quite good, because you can damage step it and worst case scenario you plus off an opponent's MST so it's not bad at all.  If I had Lances I'd probably run those instead but alas this game is just a hobby.

 

If I could get some help though, greatly appreciated.

if you don't have megalo don't play mermail :/

Blah, I hate that logic

 

It's legit 2 cards out of a 40 card Deck.  I'm aware Megalo is the big boss monster that makes the Deck Top Tier and all that, but the Deck still functions fine without it.  It's more of a Tier 2-3 Deck, but still.  I can still make effortless plays and plus right out the gate.

this is like playing heroes without miracle, why not just play a different deck you actually have?

Your logic confuses me :|

 

Heroes without Miracle is nothing like this without Megalo

 

Teus and Leed do the same thing Megalo does in terms of triggering effects and maintaining pluses, while also being able to make Big Eye/Gaia Charger/Abyssgaios.  Sure, they do it slower and they can't double attack, but no piece of paper is worth $125 right now, that's just crazy

 

I don't actually have another Deck atm, lol, which is why I'm working with this

 

I'm not tryina be all Jack Witt I'm just saying you don't NEED Megalo to win with Mermails - it just helps significantly

 

Obviously if I can get Megalos I will but in the mean time this is what I'm working with

you know what i meant, playing the deck without the best card in it. if you don't have another deck then yeah, play this. tbh i'd just sell off the stuff while it's expensive and buy some other deck. Why aren't you running an Abyss-Squall?

Working on getting one.  I'm hesitant to sell any of it right now honestly because I wanna wait and see what happens with the format.  Right now, I'm just playing at a casual level anyway (Locals and the occasional Regional) so it's not too big of an issue.

 

Should have a Squall by the end of the day. I kinda wanna drop Diva down to 2 as well.

You definitely need Megalo to play this deck. Undine searches literally nothing powerful without it, except for Diva which is a slow play, so your deck can't roll out any kind of power plays outside of Diva + Sphere. Sure you can churn out Teuses and stuff but that doesn't accomplish anything since Teus is weak on its own and needs other level 7s to be actually useful. Your deck can't explode or outadvantage any good deck because Megalo is actually what ties everything together.

If anything you should be focusing on Spike, Gunde, and Squall to support Gaios plays more often, that's really the best you can do without Megalo. Also playing 2 Dragoons is silly and so is dropping a Diva.

Oh and Squad is god awful

You shouldn't listen to the people that are telling you to not run this deck without Megalo. The deck can do it, but it loses quite a bit of OTK potential. I ran it without Megalo until I recently picked one up. As for the editting even though its late, I'd run triple dragoons even if there isn't Megalo to get you want to get this card and use its effect all the time. I think you have abyssleed at three? Why he is an alternative to megalo his cost is really high unless you're bringing him out through linde. I would just run 1 triple Teus looks fine he's a nice discard outlet for your atlanteans. I'd run triple Marksman as well, but everything else looks fine and here's two links to deck profiles to people running the deck without Megalo as well.

I hope this helps. Keep playing what you like regardless of what others think I did. The deck is still a threat even without Megalo as long as you understand the deck then you should do fine, but don't misunderstand Megalo will always be the nuts. xD
