Fish OTK
I decided to do my article this week on a very consistent OTK deck that has been
flying under the radar for several weeks now; Fish OTK. The basic way this deck
wins is by summoning Super Ancient Deepsea King Coelacanth. He allows you to
summon as many other fish monsters as possible from your deck just by discarding
one card. From there, there are various combos where you can deal over 8000
damage to the opponent. Here is my build for Fish OTK:
Monsters: 23
3 Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth
3 Swap Frog
3 Fishborg Blaster
3 Oyster Meister
3 Dupe Frog
2 Snowman Eater
2 Treeborn Frog
2 Light and Darkness Dragon
1 Ronintoadin
Spells: 17
3 Moray of Greed
3 Pot of Duality
3 Enemy Controller
2 Gold Sarcophagus
1 Lance
1 Giant Trunade
1 Monster Reborn
1 Dark Hole
Extra Deck: 15
2 Armory Arm
1 Colossal Fighter
3 Formula Synchron
1 Sea Dragon Lord Gishilnodon
1 Goyo Guardian
1 Stardust Dragon
1 Scrap Dragon
1 Black Rose Dragon/Red Dragon Archfiend
1 Shooting Star Dragon/Red Nova Dragon
1 Mist Wurm/Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
Side Deck: 15
2 D.D. Crow
2 Mobius the Frost Monarch
1 Dark Dust Spirit
2 Cyber Dragon
1 Effect Veiler
1 Lightning Vortex
1 Mirror Force
3 Malevolent Catastrophe
First Ill explain the three most common ways the deck wins.
Brionac/Gishilnodon/Coelacanth OTK:
* First summon Coelacanth and discard a card to activate its effect. Special Summon
2 Oyster Meister and 2 Fishborg Blaster from your deck.
* Tune Oyster Meister and Fishborg Blaster to make Armory Arm. Oyster Meister
gives you a token. Your field is Coelacanth, Armory Arm, Oyster Meister, Fishborg,
and a token.
* Tune Fishborg and the token to make Formula Synchron and draw a card.
* Tune the other Oyster Meister and Formula Synchron to make Gishilnodon. Get
another token. Your field is now Coelacanth, Armory Arm, Gishilnodon, and a token.
* Discard a card to bring back Fishborg Blaster. Tune Fishborg and the Token to make
another Formula Synchron. Draw a card.
* Tune Formula Synchron and Armory Arm to make Brionac.
* Your field is now Brionac, Gishilnodon (at 3000), and Coelacanth. You have Brionac
to bounce thier cards and thats 8100 damage.
You do this combo when they have set monsters.
Armory Arm Colossal OTK:
* First summon Coelacanth and activate its effect by discarding a card. Special
Summon 2 Oyster Meister and 2 Fishborg Blaster from your deck.
* Tune Fishborg and Coelacanth into Colossal Fighter.
* Tune the other Fishborg and Oyster Meister into Armory Arm.
* Discard a card and bring back Fishborg Blaster.
* Tune Fishborg and the second Oyster Meister into a second Armory Arm.
* Equip both Armory Arms to an opponents monster with over 800 attack.
* Attack with Colossal into their monster. You take a small amount of damage and
they take 5600 from Armory Arm burn. Then revive Colossal and do it a second time
for game.
You do this combo when you have Trunade as opposed to Cold Wave and they have
a monster over 800 attack. This allows you to play around Gorz. Remember, you
cant equip Armory Arm if you play Cold Wave.
Red Nova Dragon OTK:
* Summon Coelacanth and use its effect to special summon 2 Oyster Meister and 2
Fishborg Blaster.
* Tune Fishborg and Coelacanth into Red Dragon Archfiend. Then Tune Oyster
Meister and the other Fishborg Blaster to make Armory Arm. Get a token. Then
revive Fishborg by discarding a card and tune with the other Oyster Meister to make
a second Armory Arm. Get a second token. Your field is now Red Dragon Archfiend,
Armory Arm, Armory Arm, and 2 Tokens.
* Equip Armory Arm to the other Armory Arm so that he is at 2800.
* Discard a card and revive Fishborg. Tune the Fishborg and a token to make
Formula Synchron. Draw a card. Do this entire step a second time. Your field is now
Red Dragon Archfiend, 2 Formula Synchrons, and Armory Arm equipped with Armory
Arm.
* Tune the Red Dragon Archfiend and the 2 Formula Synchrons into Red Nova
Dragon. Red Nova Dragon will be at 5500 attack.

* Attack directly with Red Nova. If they drop Gorz, attack over it with the Armory
Arm and the burn damage they take will be enough for game. If they dont drop
Gorz, attack with the Armory Arm for game.
This OTK is good for playing around Gorz, however the problem with it is that they
have to have no cards on the field in order for this to work. Personally, I dont think
its worth the space in the extra deck. If Fish become more popular, this will
definitely be worth the room as open fields are common and the mirror match is
tricky (whoever draws better)
How to play the deck and Common Plays:
The deck revolves around two cards; Coelacanth and either Giant Trunade or Cold
Wave. Youre going to want to slow play the game, sitting behind 2000 defenders
until you can get both pieces of the combo. You can dig for the combo pieces with
Moray, Gold Sarcophagus, and Pot of Duality. Then once you have the two pieces,
youre going to need to be able to tribute for Coelacanth. The frog engine makes
this very easy to achieve. Swap Frog is the key to the deck and puts Treeborn Frog
and Ronintoadin into the graveyard. Both are instant tribute fodder. A common play
you can perform is to bring back Treeborn, play Enemy Controller while still in your
standby phase to tribute Treeborn and take control of their monster, and then revive
Treeborn a second time. You now have the fodder needed for Coelacanth. This deck
is very good for several reasons:
1. It can do more than just OTK. Most decks that just OTK are never very good. They
are very linear and if you manage to stop the OTK, you win. Fish are not this way.
They can very easily play a control game if they are not able to OTK. They can do
this by gaining advantage through Light and Darkness plays or setting up locks that
are almost impossible to break with Shooting Star Dragon.
2. Their searching ability. As I mentioned above, they have numerous ways to dig
through the deck to search out their combo pieces. Moray of Greed, Pot of Duality,
and Gold Sarcophagus all dig for the pieces. Moray serves a dual purpose. Oyster
Meister is needed for every OTK, but they arent very good to draw. Moray helps
with drawing them by putting them back in the deck for future Coelacanth plays and
gives you an entirely new hand.
3. The ability to play around Effect Veiler. Coelacanth has a built in way to play
around Veiler. Lets say that you have searched the combo out. You bring back
Treeborn and use Enemy Controller to take their monster. Now if you already have a
Fishborg in the graveyard, you can discard a card to bring him back before
summoning Coelacanth. Now tribute Treeborn and their monster for Coelacanth. If
he Veilers now, Coelacanth can negate it by tributing the Fishborg and you can
proceed to do your OTK.
4. Snowman Eater. This guy is amazing in the deck. He allows you to play around so
many different obstacles that you might otherwise not have an out to. His high
defense lets him wall against almost any low level monster. He is also a maindecked
out to things like Banisher of the Radiance and Fossil Dyna. He becomes even more
important in games two and three.
5. The side deck. Malevolent Catastrophe is simply amazing. People will side heavily
for any OTK deck. Malevolent is an out to almost anything anyone can throw at you
and no one ever sees it coming.
How to beat the deck:
Now that Ive told you how to play the deck, Ill tell you how to beat it. I feel this is
especially important as the deck grows in popularity week-by-week. The main thing
youre going to want to do in order to beat the deck is play very aggressively. The
deck has very minimal defenses in the main deck and it will certainly win if you try
and slow play the game and give it a chance to set up. Playing aggressively also
puts pressure on them to do something back. If they have the option of summoning
Coelacanth, but dont yet have Trunade or Cold Wave, they might not do it. If you
apply pressure and get their life points low, they might not have any other choice
but to summon him. This leaves you with access to your traps and a good chance
that you will be able to stop it from there.
Another thing that youre going to want to do is if you do have Effect Veiler, play it
correctly. If they set up the Fishborg play, dont waste it on Coelacanth. If you have
set monsters, theyll go into the Brionac/Gashilnodon/Coelacanth OTK. Use it on the
Brionac. It will buy you a turn to come back. You might take some damage, but you
wont lose. If you have a monster on the field and they are going for Colossal and
Armory Arm, Veiler the Armory Arm so that it cant equip.
Lastly, if you dont have anything, bluff. Set 3 back rows, especially game 1 where
they cant Malevolent you. The worst they can do is Trunade you. If they dont have
that, they wont try and OTK you with 3 sets.
Hopefully you all enjoyed this weeks article on fish and learned something new
about a powerful deck type that you may not have heard of before this article. Know
that the deck exists and know how to play against it if you should run into one. They
are quickly becoming more popular in the game and who knows, this might be a
sleeper deck for the next championship.
