Ice Barrier

🇯🇵 ・🇨🇳

WATER Synchro-based deck with versatile searchability and a wide card base. Deck is based around getting Lancea, Ancestral Dragon of the Ice Mountain on field, and summoning various floodgates based on the opponent's strategy.

General Counter Tips:

The deck cannot handle having it's normal summon hit with Ash or Imperm. Targeted negation is overall VERY strong against Ice Barrier, as are the Dominus cards and Nibiru.

Card	Chokepoint	Explanation	Impact	Link
Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring	- Revealer of the Ice Barrier - Hexa Spirit of the Ice Barrier - Mirror Mage of the Ice Barrier - Lancea Ancestral Dragon of the Ice Mountain	- Revealer can summon a Ice Barrier Tuner from deck, usually Hexa - Hexa foolishes a level 3 or lower Ice Barrier from deck, usually Mirror Mage -Mirror Mage, on send to GY, can add an Ice Barrier card from Deck or Banishment -Lancea's ability to cheat out an Ice Barrier monster is twice per turn, but often stopping the first one keeps you from getting floodgated as hard, allowing some wiggle room in the plays you can make.	Great	View Edit
Droll & Lock Bird	- Mirror Mage of the Ice Barrier Effect to add a card from deck	While it won't stop the Ice Barrier player from building a board, it completely stops the card draws off of Coral Dragon and Ravenous Crocodragon Archethys, potentially keeping them off of further extension and hand traps.	Usable	View Edit
Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion	- Georgius, Swordsman of the Ice Barrier - Marincess Coral Anemone - Freezing Chains of the Ice Barrier	Hitting any of these cards prevents a monster reborn, which is often enough to get at least one synchro on board. Georgius specifically can become a synchro 10 on his own.	Great	View Edit
Infinite Impermanence	- Revealer of the Ice Barrier - Marincess Coral Anemone - Lancea Ancestral Dragon of the Ice Mountain	-Revealer getting negated can often completely stop the deck in it's tracks, as it generally needs to summon at least one tuner to get the train rolling. -Negating Coral Anemone can prevent the deck from functioning, as it typically makes Coral to summon back Mirror Mage of the Ice Barrier, which is a one-card synchro 8. Many lines for Ice Barrier do not make a synchro prior to summoning Coral Anemone. -Negating Lancea during your turn completely shuts down the ability to floodgate you for that turn, though you still have to worry about the effect once it leaves field (Cheats out an Ice Barrier Synchro, though depending on how the chain functions, the synchro can miss timing)	Great	View Edit
Nibiru, the Primal Being	Any summon after 5	Nibiru completely bricks the Ice Barrier board. The only way they can recover is via Freezing Chains of the Ice Barrier, as all the other special summons from hand require controlling an Ice Barrier monster already.	Great	View Edit
