Fishizzle (FIRE/Fish Archetype) 18/18

[SnowBunny]

This archetype focuses on summoning out Level 1 FIRE/Fish monsters which all have the same effect of, "You can tribute this card: Gain 500 LP", then banishing them from the GY to activate various effects which include Fusion Summoning monsters with high defense to create a "wall" basically. There are many effects to help protect you against your opponent, and you can also use some generic support to. Also, a lot of cards have effects that either search or Special Summon a "Fishizzle" monster/card so you can spam the tribute effect and gain as much LP as possible. Once you have gained enough LP, Special Summon out the main boss monster "Fishizzle Flamorado" to wipe out your opponent's LP. The Link Monster helps with getting monsters from your hand to the GY and lets you choose between 2 effects.

A pretty solid set, at least at the first glance. Very interesting idea in regards to flavour, being an entirely GY focused archetype while easily loading it up from the field. Also, banifish support! There is a bit overlap between Open Fire (which isn't searchable by Fusion/Poly searchers :( but at least credit for the nice name) and Flamelt, considering they both do the exact same thing, and while it could be argued they work for consistency's sake, perhaps the Fusion Spell could banish materials from the hand as well to make it a little more flexible. Or, perhaps one that shuffles banished materials into the Deck!

 

However, the over-reliance of the GY does not mesh well with the Fusion monsters' staying power. Yes, you do have Main Monster Zone movers, but they stand out like a sore thumb, as not only is just an awkward effect that doesn't really help save in that niche situation where it is really needed, but it doesn't deal with the Fusion Monsters by getting them in the GY. I would honestly suggest a Link to allow you to ladder with to actually get your Fusions in the GY to use. I do like the win condition, but if this archetype doesn't have 4 materials in the GY, you have to go into the weaker Fusions, which limit your plays until you can get your opponent to get rid for you, or you spend resources to get rid of it yourself. There's no particular reason to Summon any of these other bosses in this modern Link Era, as since all your Summoning is from the same location, by wasting your Fusion Spell/monster you are

 

Your spells are much better, with consistency and easy plays with the field spell and recycling with Fiery Surimi, although Fiery Caviar's first effect is incredibly meh. Your opponent can see it coming and pop it easily ahead of time, as it isn't even a Trap of some description. The Summoning from the hand is good, but it doesn't really merit the card itself being played. Also, for both this and the field spell, if a card or effect has no cost and has its OPT replaced by "You can only use..." it's best to specify "During your Main Phase:..." so you aren't ambiguous. 

 

Also, you have access to the beautiful cards that are Oh F1sh!, Fish and Kicks, and Fish and Swaps! While your cards aren't really bad at any of these, these cards grant you more removal, more recycling, and more countering at a very low cost! Even Swaps loads up your GY for the discarding!

 

The Main Deck monsters and Spells are all there, and they have a really neat win condition, but unfortunately MR4 comes along and really hurts the viability of the Extra Deck. By Summoning them, while you are banishing your monsters to be able to use their on-banish effects, you're still preventing most of them from being able to be used as materials. There needs to be alternate ways to Summon them or the bigger boss monsters actually requiring the Fusion monsters (what if Flamorado actually need 1 FIRE Fusion monster + 2 of your fishies :thinking:)

Thanks @@Dova for the review, made the changes based on what you said. Flamuna is no longer a Fusion, but a Link Monster instead. Fiery Caviar is now a trap and can secure your win. No more monster moving effects. Moved some effects around.

 

 

Fishizzle Roasting on an Open Fire: materials can now be from hand or GY , OR by shuffling materials that are banished into deck.

 

 

Fishizzle Delicacy: Fiery Caviar: Now a Trap and destroys the monster that attacked. No longer Special Summons a "Fishizzle" from hand. You can banish from you GY and your opponent cannot activate cards/effects until End Phase. A once per duel effect, so use it wisely.

 

 

Fishizzle Cooking Grounds: Added "If all monsters you control and/or in your GY are “Fishizzle” monsters" to the search effect. Makes it more archetypal.

 

 

Fishizzle Flameel: Now Level 7 and DEF increased by 500 (so now at 2000 DEF).

 

 

Fishizzle Flamon: Now Level 8 and DEF increased by 500 (so now at 2500 DEF).

 

 

Fishizzle Flamorado: Materials are now 1 "Fishizzle" Fusion + 2 "Fishizzle" monsters. Took away the no battle damage and cannot be destroyed by battle effect. Replaced this effect with, "While your LP are higher than your opponent’s, “Fishizzle” monsters you control cannot be targeted or destroyed by your opponent’s card effects."

 

 

Fishizzle Flamuna: Now a Link Monster. Entirely new effect, 1 of the effects is Flamorado's old effect, just changed a little.

 

 

Fishizzle Flamdine: Effect changed to, "You can Special Summon 1 “Fishizzle” monster from your hand."
