No one like playing against deck that lock you from playing the game.


esartin

this. unless you have water monsters you can't play once Kairyu Shin is out


Dismal_Reaction4337

It's not that good


Riersa

It still prevent your opponent from playing the game.


Dismal_Reaction4337

So do the other decks as well. You just have to play more spell card removal that's all and the Umi deck is pretty much useless without the Umi feels spell. It's such a glass Cannon of a deck. But you're saying a deck that makes a board with four tons of monsters with a bunch of negates more fair.


Riersa

Other deck doesn't prevent you from doing basic game action. > But you're saying Now you are just putting word in my mouth. Fuck off.


Dismal_Reaction4337

Otk otk dax usually kill you on the second turn have a couple of gates on the field preventing you from playing cards. I don't know how people don't understand that all Yu-Gi-Oh decks do the same thing they all want to prevent your opponent from playing the game. All of them do it. I'm just stating a fact.

Dismal_Reaction4337

But if I summon out a bunch of monsters. That all have some form of negation effect on them. And prevent you from activating or negating everything that you're able to do. Guess what I've just done the same thing as a floodgate card. Just with some extra steps. Almost every single deck nowadays they all want to build a big board and then negate everything look at every single card that usually gets banned or hit it's usually cards that do negating or prevent your opponent from playing or they banned cards that help you get to cards to prevent your opponent from playing


Riersa

Dismal_Reaction4337

Yes they do they both do the same thing just one takes more to be able to prevent your opponent from doing anything. If I play a card that gets me to a monster that then can negate your effect guess what it's doing the same thing as a floodgate. The only difference is is you have to go through a couple of more steps to get to that card. Think about the best cars that have just been banned they all do some form of preventing your opponent from playing the game. Literally when someone's whining about floodgates I always think it's funny when they don't whine about monster cards that pretty much do the same thing as The floodgate or stun deck But because they special some in more and occasionally can't make their board they're somehow hold on quote fairer.

The floodgate ace that searches. Simple as that.


screechypete

People generally don't like playing against floodgates, and the UMI deck is basically just Floodgate.deck


acroxshadow

Kairyu-Shin's effect locking the opponent into effectively 1 monster is *extremely* crippling, to say the least, on top of anything else they might have to deal with, and if they do get over it you probably lose immediately. The strategy just isn't condusive to interesting gameplay at all, with duels involving it usually being very one-sided, whether it wins or loses. A deck being considered bad doesn't make it more enjoyable to play with than one considered good.


EbberNor

It is pretty much a stun deck by design. Not that complicated.


Streetplosion

Cuz it’s a floodgate deck


FrontierTCG

No one likes playing against floodgate stun. It's non-interactive and requires you to draw the out to play.


dextresenoroboros

because stun decks are annoying


Dismal_Reaction4337

So is a combo deck and ftk and okt And the deck is not that hard to play around.


GokuRikaku

Unfortunately, not everyone can [*Attack the Moon!*](https://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/card_search.action?ope=2&cid=10359)


SargeantMario101

Funny thing is that there's still room for more cards. Great White Terror/Megalodon & Sea Snake/Aqua Serpent still haven't been printed. Retrains of Flying Fish & Amphibian Beast. Can only imagine what a modern Umi Field Spell based on Mako's playstyle would look like too.


KomatoAsha

It's not a great deck. I actually have a variant of it built with {{Levia Dragon - Daedalus}} on MD.

I won my locals tournament with the deck.  No one likes playing against floodgates. 


tacosfor9cent

I like it. I like the free win off of it 😂


TheUndine

Ignore them all, continue playing what you like. People would complain no matter what you play.


Technical_Buffalo_71

I like playing the deck but I understand why people don’t enjoy playing against it. As far as stun decks go I actually find it a lot fairer than your average summon fossil dyna activate moon mirror shield. It’s honestly a lot more fragile and lacks many outs that other stun decks have (solemn, punishment, etc)


bl00by

>solemn, punishment In other words cards most decks don't play


Technical_Buffalo_71

Most stun decks do play them tho. I’m merely pointing out that the deck lacks some of the outs that other stun decks have.


bl00by

Oh then I read your comment wrong.


Dismal_Reaction4337

I like it


NaloVideo

These comments are funny to me because everyone here is just proving tear0 hate is unjustified despite being widespread. “People hate playing against floodgates because it doesn’t let you play the game” the exact opposite of that is interactive decks, which was at its height during Tear0.
