Embrace the Aquamirror and join the depths with the Gishki archetype
Replays:
Strategic Summary:
Best known for its ability to loop Gishki Gustkraken, a Level 6 Ritual that spins your choice of 2 revealed cards from your opponent’s hand back to the deck, the Gishki Archetype is a force to be reckoned with now that it is back to full power. Gishki have a reliable set of search options in Gishki Abyss and Gishki Shadow, but a Deep Sea engine featuring Neptabyss and his Atlantean Dragoons give even more access to these ritual searchers, since they are both Sea Serpents. Finally, with the help of Lappis Dragon and Crystron Halqifibrax, the combo potential through Link and Synchro monsters allows for even more search power in addition to negations to stop whatever your opponent happens to topdeck after ending with a depleted hand. While other Halqifibrax combo variants may just loop around your field for an absurd number of negations, this deck goes deeper by spinning the opponent’s hand as well! Dive straight into the combos, and wash away your opponent’s options with this combo deck!

Note: This is continuing the style of Creative Deck Profile articles, designed to showcase a build through replays rather than through a long article. If you wish to see a CDP for an archetype, theme, or strategy you love, feel free to private message me on the YGOrg Discord server, the comments section of any of my YouTube videos, or just post a comment in response to this article on our Facebook page with your ideas to keep under consideration! On most YGO-related communities my username is Quincymccoy, so feel free to reach out.
As of now, I have 7 outstanding requests that I am looking into: Witchcrafter, Melodious, Appliancer, Psychic, Heraldic Beasts, Dinomist, & The Agent.
