I just realized we don't have a universal water search

 

 

EDIT: So there isn't a think with Mermails

 

 

 

also fixed an OCG

There is a reason universal searching is looked down upon. RotA is semilimited, and that is only limited to Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monsters. This takes ANY WATER monster and let's you add it to your hand. Not sure if Merlantians, but this could be ridiculous for them. I would suggest a Type and either a Level/ATK limitation on it, but even then it isn't desirable.

I was doing this card with Gishki and Ice Barrier in mind, wasn't thinking about Mermails

Technically speaking, the fix still affects Mermails, but it more or less restricts them from searching the stronger ones.

 

Ice Barrier/Gishki aren't too fazed with the nerfed effect.

 

IBs are still mostly Level 4 and under (discounting the Generals, Dai-sojo and other things, but they have Medallion for those things). Granted, it does cost them hand advantage but I don't think that should be a problem. Gishki pretty much get most of their members out (discounting their Rituals); that's about it. If they lose a monster to play this (discard); they have Aquamirror to summon their bosses.

 

In essence, most Decks that focus on WATER monsters can use this to grab an easily summon-able monster

 

That being said, unlike RoTA and other search cards, it's triggerable during your opponent's turn due to its Quick-Play status. Granted, it's not as bad as before, but as mentioned, it's still a copy of Reinforcements, except for WATER monsters only. Needless to say, it'll be a staple in any WATER deck that needs extra search power (IBs don't really need it though)
