Atlantean Beats Part One!!

Well the Atlanteans are quite a nice archetype. Most of them have an effect that activates when sent to the graveyard as the cost to activate a WATER monsters effect.

Cards that work well with that effect are:
Abyss Soldier
Mermail - Abysspike
Mermail - Abyssturgeon
Poseidra, The Atlantean Dragon Lord
Mermail - Megaloabyss
Genex Undine (Yes they work went sent from Deck as a cost too)

There are far more that work with them but these are some of the most advantageous.

I won't be covering most of the Mermail support or Abyss Rising support because those aren't on DN yet so we will still to Abysspike and Genex Undine.

So we have one that can destroy face-downs when used for WATER effects. One for face-up's and one for Searching.

That is a full toolbox of effects and this isn't including the cards that aren't on DN yet from the new set.

Out of those Abysspike and Undine are the only ones that let you search. Undine is the only one that is a pure plus 2. Abysspike is a plus 1 Abyss Soldier is a pseudo plus 1. Poseidra if used at the right time can be up to a plus 6.

So without even going into detail with effects using only the reasoning listed here the deck takes shape.

Then for further support with spamming to sync/xyz or summon poseidra you'd run the now searchable Deep Sea Diva in 3's to use with Marksman or Armsman for Xyz or Synchro Options.

If you can manage to summon a Brionac you can plus infinitely yes infinitely... Dragoon + any continuous lets you pitch Dragoon to get back that continuous to hand hopefully one with an effect when played. but meh not really an infinite but a loop but who cares about logistics.

So tomorrow we will see a starting base decklist for these cards and further thoughts.
