Two Core Water Staples Just Got Banned
The TCG just waved farewell to two Water-based powerhouses, and it’s a serious shake-up for both Ryzeal and Mermail Atlantean fans.
Abyss Dweller wasn’t just a tech choice — it was the go-to graveyard shutoff button, turning off opposing decks before they even got going. Now that it’s gone, we might see a resurgence of graveyard-heavy strategies. Get ready for a meta shift.
Bahamut Shark was another key enabler, giving Ryzeal duelists access to Toadally Awesome negates and insane Rank 4 plays. Its ban doesn’t just hurt Water decks — it closes off entire combo lines that made Ryzeal a dominant force at YCS Las Vegas.
One thing’s for sure: the Water wave is crashing, and it’s going to be a whole new ocean out there.
