A derpy fish joins the Ghoti - Ghoti post ALIN

Introduction

My casual for fun build for ghoti with the new stuff from ALIN, it is still a 2 card combo and those 2 combo pieces need to work with each other. You still get some awkward hands. Take it as an introduction to the archetype as I mostly play for fun with other casual players.

The new support from ALIN does not really increase the ceiling - ok, maybe a little -, just the consistency of when you get to play and the amount of resources on rotation.

I'll try to sum up the game plan and its weaknesess in a couple of bullet points:

• It needs banish your tuners every turn
• It needs to have resources in grave to cycle your lvl 6s
• Extra deck Ghoti are all trigger effects and they either target one thing or clear the whole board
• After being summoned, your extra deck Ghoti are mostly beaters and bodies for the ghoti machine
• Chengying is the best Ghoti ever printed, White Aura Whale is a close second!
• You die to removal, the bodies need to stick, especially our level 2's
• Your Ghoti can be "stuck" in banish, be mindful on resources in grave and even the amount of open monster zones
• It's a 2 card combo, sometimes 3. Hence, we can't fit much non engine or we are stuck not playing the game

Thoughts on cards included

A couple of thoughts on why I play some cards and why you shouldn't play some of them:

Aspischool

The art is derpy, can be both a starter to get something else on field or help to get 2 bodies on field,  in the past a Psiics in hand was just a dead card, now you can play. The banish upon leaving the field on the additional summon can cut on resources but is a net positive when it just triggers a ghoti, try to get something on GY if a lvl 6 or higher would be banished.

When banished from GY to summon Psiics from banish, Aspischool can be chain link 2 in the new chain and now your Psiics can't be ashed.

Adamancipator Crystal - Dragite

You may get lucky and hit it with Dragite effect and then non target bounce, and if you add nibiru to the deck you will probably get a bounce or two after deck tining a little. In the GY, you can piecemeal recycle some of your synchro ghoti  like Askaan that only banish on summon. Ii is completly unnecesary, you can just play a third lifeless or another Keaf.

Eria the Water Channeler

Personally, I like this card though 'll admint you can play any other card and it would be better, is a nearly universal searcher for the whole deck if the other monster is a lvl 2. You can get those pesky Ghoti lvl 6 into the graveyard and add a Tidal or the other Ghoti lvl 6.

Lifeless Leaffish

The old starter of the deck, you can probably run 3 and cut the charmer or the water stone. In hand where both Aspischool and Leaffish are available, I'll say, normal the Aspischool and summon the Leaffish with the effect.. Is at 2 since i really dont want to see more than one of these in hand. Remember to recycle your spents synchro fishes!

Tidal, Dragon Ruler of Waterfalls

Use the effect in hand to send Mirror Mage to the GY and also load the GY. The summon effect can guarantee that we always have the Ghoti in rotation as you banish them to summon Tidal everyturn, Aspischool will trigger with this and you also get a free body. 

Moray of Avarice

With Aspischool it felt really good, before, you would need one Ghoti lvl 2 or a loaded GY if used on the big ones, with Aspischool, you get the 2 cards and the body back.

Toxic Boxfish

Can start the loop or restart it if your Psiics is stuck in the graveyard or disrupt your opponent in their turn with the summon and banish effect. It is not unrealistic to trigger both in the same turn. With Keaf on rotation, the negate can be recicled over and over again.

Number 37: Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark

I'm sure there is a better rank 4 water that is not banned, but the intention is to crash and have White Aura whale come back after it has been dealt with, enfatically, White Reincarnation should be on the field so you get the Raigeki effect and double attack.

Graydle Dragon

A neat thing to summon with mirror mage to pop 4 (!) and if destroyed, we get to recyle maybe White Aura Whale once again. Cut it and put a second Arionpos!

Virtual World Kyubi - Shenshen

Just here to make something with Tidal, maybe just put Trishulla, Navy Dragon Mech, Vermilion Dragon Mech or Crocodragon. Or add Marincess Bubble Reef.

Mermail King - Neptabyss

Before Neptabyss the last link in the deck was the link 4 Marincess Bubble Reef, with Neptabyss we get target protection to the zones it points to; Wewcan protect our key pieces on the board like Dragite, Chengying or the tuners. Any effect that is a must resolve should be done under Neptabyss, it doesnt always work but it does often.

Where is [x] card?

Charmy's

They're like $30 on the lower end, this list is like $50 and even less if you already have Impermanence and Ash.

But if you want to... you need every card you can get with the fishes, you'll be unstople. Maybe Purullia so it still works with Tidal and the Charmer.

Nibiru

Take the mourners out and add the rock

Swap Frog

One card Toadally Awesome in conjuction with Mirror Mage. That might be neat, but depending on your starting hand, Toadally might be your entire board if you just shotgun the Swap Frog on frame one of the game. You should probaly play some Nimbles to get the full benefit and at that points, is a whole different deck I haven't tried.
