Third deck list: superancient king coelacanth and shadowpriestess of ohm burn - lightedge‏

 

Hello again everyone, I continue today with the third deck list, lately I have been getting complaints that the articles are a little bit short, so I am going to small talk for a few lines…. nice weather we’ve been having, right? No seriously, I am going to talk about something a bit serious, I first was going to build this deck around shadow priestess and gadgets but in that case it would have been an otk burn with a lot of downsides like you have to pay 4500 to pull off the otk combo using ultimate offerings, and it would have been an all burn deck not like this one, this one burns and has high attackers, and besides almost everyone is using gadgets, it gets a bit old right? Don’t get me wrong I like gadgets even though I didn’t get their idea in the beginning but after watching them at a couple of duels I knew they were a force to be reckoned with. Wow look at how much I wrote after I said I would write only few lines I must have a very wide computer screen to not notice, anyway all jokes aside, let`s get to the deck list :

 

Monsters  x20

superancient deepsea king coelacanth  x3

shadowpriestess of ohm x3

7 colored fish x3

ocean`s keeper x3

cranium fish x2

thousand eyes jellyfish x1

golden flying fish x2

deepsea macrotrema  x1

unshaven angler x2

 

Spells x14

A legendry ocean x2

pot of avarice x2

magical mallet x2

double summon x2

heavy storm x1

swords of revealing light x1

lighting vortex x1

cost down x1

dark room of nightmare x2

 

Traps  x8

DNA transplant x3  (this is the key card that links the whole combo)

mirror force x1

dark bribe x2

sakuretsu armor x1

transmigration prophecy x1

 

    This is pretty much it, you expected more huh? Well have you ever heard of this phrase: there is more that meets the eyes, at first glance you will think what is this? Are you kidding? Well I am only interested in three cards in this deck to pull of the burn combo which are: superancient deepsea king coelacanth, shadowpristess of ohm, those two are of course obvious, the third one is DNA transplant, now let us see how it works : I think this deck has made coelacanth easier to summon all you have to do is summon shadowpriestess and then activate DNA transplant select dark, use the effect of coelacanth and summon any of the level four or lower fish, then use shadowpriestess effect and tribute all of the fishes that you summoned using coelacanth (I prefer leaving one of the fishes to protect coelacanth)and if you tribute all the fishes (except coelacanth) that should damage 2400 to your opponent and if you have a dark room of nightmare then it will be 3300, if you land a direct attack with shadowpriestess the damage will be 5000, then if you could survive you opponent`s turn then you will win next turn ,  this is it , let`s continue with the rest of the deck.

As you can see I kept backup monsters that are quite interesting like:

Cranium fish

When you use the effect of coelacanth and summon ocean`s keeper tribute him and get this out to the field, now to his effect, discard a water type monster to get rid of a face down that`s granmarg the rock monarch`s effect and please let me point out that you can use the effect multiple times in one turn, now for his uses, It`s very clear you destroy a face down I would prefer to destroy spells and traps since mirror forces are out of their leash, but if you opponent has no spells\traps then its goodbye for him, let`s count the damage shall we? 1600+600 that is shadowpriestess effect with dark room the effect of cranium fish takes care of all face downs attack with all and count the whole damage 1600+600+1700+2400+2800= 9100 that’s game.

Golden flying fish is obvious.

Pot of avarice, transmigration prophecy

You are going to be able to use these cards very early I added them so you can use coelacanth a lot of times.

Anyway this is it the next deck list is skill drain deck that swarms. If any one wishes to contact me they can at lightedge666@hotmail.com   farewell.
