[Written] The Swarm on the Water - Aquasect Archetype

[Malacoda-Eviltail]

To summarize in a short term - these WATER Insects are similar to the Yang Zing as they grant buffs to the Synchro Monsters they are used for though in place of floating, they have in-hand effects and can Synchro in the hand. The Main Deck monsters are named for the different kinds of water beetles while the Extra Deck get their names from other aquatic/semi-aquatic insects.

the concept is cute, yet they have some serious sheet that must be fixed, first of all they have access to Ice Barrier Synchros, and it's easy as hell since tuners allows you to use any number of Aquasects in your hand as materials, also, there is halipid: it has a 'regenerated' +1 (draw) effect, so that makes it another "Pot of Greed", which is hilarious (baaaad)! also Meru, it's another 'regenerated' +1 (ROTA), in a deck that has access to Trishula, BIG NAAY! same with other Aquasects that has "reveal me" as a cost!! (except Dytiscus and Amphizoa, they're ok) I don't really find it an actual, plus thay have no hard OPT clause, means thay can lead to some serious sheet

I really don't know how to fix this, maybe the first thing you should do is to avoid Trishula (yeah I know it's Limited but still it can do some serious sheet, especially in this deck)

 When using this card you control as a Synchro Material for a WATER "Aquasect" Synchro Monster, you can use "Aquasect" monsters in your hand as non-Tuner Synchro Materials.

Also try to find out another cost for the "reveal me" aquasects (non-tuners), maybe a discard or excavating your top deck your top deck as a cost instead

but anywho, the concept itself is neat, it just need to be nerved-down

 

NOTE: I'm not that good at giving reviews, so I may be wrong X)
