Umi
🇯🇵 海・🇨🇳 海
The Umi strategy involves mostly retrains of Mako Tsunami’s cards used in the anime. These cards all combine to make a powerful stun board to control what monsters your opponents can summon and or the levels of the monsters to keep your opponent off balance. The Spell and Trap line up is composed of powerful protections for both themselves and the monsters acting like floodgates the board while you control an Umi.
General Counter Tips:
Keep any cards named Umi off the board at all costs
