Includes Video Replays: Time Thief Shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo…

Always bring a Banana to a Party:

Welcome to the meeting of the time travelers and annoying viral videos, so it’s time to have an Xyz-ingly cool party! This article was inspired by a request to do something innovative with the Psychic-type, so why not execute that by sinking to the watery depths! It is also the perfect time to showcase what this combination can do with the recent TCG release of Eternity Code. So here’s to celebrating Time Travel, Xyz Summoning, and sharks!

Shark-in-a-box. To go.

Eternity Code brought two anime strategies some much needed legacy support, the first being Resonator covered by my latest CDP, and the second being Sharks, a WATER Xyz theme centered around Xyz Summoning using Fish monsters! But since ‘Shark’ isn’t an official archetype, all of the support cards simply support the Fish type, giving the deck a very wide pool of options to pick from! So let’s talk about the best fish while we setup the reason for running these two themes together.

Outro:

In short, this hybrid strategy is all about making Xyz monsters. Redoer and Perpetua together can fix anything, much like a certain Doctor, but with Sharks, it becomes many times as Fantastic. Throw a coin to your Bahamut as well, because it is Toatally Awesome at helping out your plan to disrupt your opponent’s known gameplan. And for the times when you do lose your fearless time travelers, just revive them back with a Splash before turning them into a Valiant Lancer. Thanks so much for reading this far, and I’ll catch you next time with an antique go at one of the themes in the next Duelist Pack!

Reminder, I also take suggestions for future CDS articles! I really want to see some input from you! If you wish to see a CDS article about the archetype, theme, or strategy you love, feel free to private message me on the YGOrg Discord server, the YGOrganization Forums, 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.

I’ve also launched the Creative Deck Profile series of articles (CDP), where I take a requested archetype or strategy, posting a build with some replays. These are hosted on my YGOrganization Youtube channel, located here. Be sure to subscribe, as I upload previews of upcoming articles there before they are officially posted to this site!

As of now, I have a couple of outstanding requests that I am looking into: Cyberse, Mecha Phantom Beast, Shaddoll.
