Sea Monster of Theseus [RATE]


Recommended Posts

Here's an idea:

 

>InstaFuse into this

>Normal Summon Junk Synchron

>Special Summon level 2

>tune for 10 into Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend

 

There's a s*** ton more plays you could do, but that's kinda the point.

Or Special Summon Level 1 and Synch into Gliongandr

I wasn't aware of the hype surrounding this, but this card is underwhelming for what it probably wanted to convey but it still has very good stats. I can honestly only see this being run in Mermail and other Water Decks like Dinomists, cause I guess they can make Ultimaya into Crystal Wing alongside Treatoad and Infinity now. Yup, Dinomists now can make the Holy Trinity of Yugioh trolliness. TCG better be somewhat prepared.

I find it weird that the article revealing this, and the card itself, is pushing Instant Fusion super hard. I would think Konami is unhappy with the way it's being used, so even if they wouldn't ban it, they would try to not support it as much as they could. Just surprising.

It's pretty neat. Can synchro with things depending on the deck and what you wanna make, can R5. It's not great, but I like it and just think it's the funniest thing and I adore WATER Zombie as a type/attribute combination so I'm kinda stoked about this.

 

brb gonna make an archetype that makes this thing useful

Zombie is good, because lolmezuki

WATER is good, because decent R5s (and I think some Synchro shenanigans/just solid in general)

5 is good, because Ultimaya/5+4 Synchroing

Instant Fusion is good because I N S T A N T F U S I O N

 

It's plain good. Not outstanding, but good.

 

Its direct competition is, as I covered, Blackwing Gofu, but barring niche scenarios (Metalfoe, Predaplant, etc.), this card is superior. An ED slot that pairs with a funking good spell is better than 2-3 maindeck slots, overall.

 

Even then, in the Metalfoe example, the two aren't mutually exclusive. Both could be run, if you really wanted.

 

Not having an effect/not being flashy as funk doesn't make this card bad, because being a Tuner is basically having an "Effect" that makes it worth using.

 

tl;dr card is good. not op, good.

One big problem with this.

You can't make Ultimaya with a pendulum. So you'd need an extra level 5.

 

Dinomists use Eagle Shark and Panther Shark sometimes, right?

I forgot that the cost specifically requires sending to the Graveyard...you could run those but it would be too gimmicky and it would end up terrible. Well there goes that idea.

 

Guess what's left is making room for this in a Ryouga/Nasch deck I guess.

I mean your basic Orphys/Cobra can make a Level 8/Star Eater. That has to count for something.

this actually leads to a ton of silly sheet off 1 card mostly cuz Orphys --> Cobra = Invoker = Zoodiac, so don't be surprised if u see a buncha demonstrations where the end goal is cloudcastle --> VFD (whether it's gottoms or chaofeng)

Hmm I'd like to experiment this with Synchro era plays like Quibolt Hedgehog for a Black Rose as a field nuke that in general wouldn't need to use one's Normal Summon.

 

I knew it'd end up underwhelming, not because the card is bad in any way it is a pretty solid card, but because the articles and waiting time that formed the guessing game were bound to make people exaggerate what they thought it'd be. They did say "one of the strongest monsters that we'll release this year" so naturally people would expect something whose stats were more akin to a boss's. The end result is a pretty good card but let's be honest: One can never really match the hype from people letting their imaginations run wild.

 

At least it is a step up from the Zany Zebra guessing game.

This caught my attention. Which recent Rank5s that require WATER you refer to?

 

And yeah, cool to have a Fusion Tuner. Thinking about it, I'm surprised they took this long to make one. Looking forward to a Ritual Tuner now :v

IDK about new, but it's always cool to use Abyss Splash.

Props to Lithium for coming up with these combos. And if he isn't, good for him to post videos like this quick enough to show some cool applications.

 

For one thing, Theseus + Level 4 can go into Cloudcastle or Gottoms. Cloudcastle can be used with True Kings, and fits well with the new Dinosaur support. Gottoms works fine with Scorpio + Cobra and Zoodiacs.

What the...?

 

Well, I'll just go about stating the obvious...Level 5 Fusion = Instant Fusion. Being a Tuner is fine, can make Synchro focused Decks a little more flexible since they can use Instant Fusion for this OR Norden.

 

Fusion Materials being 2 Tuners is amusing, and stats are okay.

 

There doesn't really seem to be much to say about it, though, due to not having an effect, so...it's just a Level 5 WATER Instant Fusion target. Zombie-typing I suppose has some potential, but I'm not sure how much. Maybe gives Zombie Synchro a new toy in some form, but again, relying on Instant Fusion...
