Ice Barrier (2022) (Masterduel)
_________________________________________
The deck has 3 engines.
The Ice barrier protections and special summons for each other to make the rank 4 XYZs. Make Trishula Zero Dawn, going first, you'll get the field negated off Trishula Dragon of the Ice Barrier, and have a 3300 beatstick on board. Going second you get the pop three if they don't negate the summons and you are set up for their next turn when they destroy it and summon your Trishula then. Running Ice Knight and Silent Sea Nettle nearly make extending our Defender easy, Revealer makes it even easier.
________
Deep Sea Diva into Guitar, Guitar effect to banish the top two of opponents deck, Guitar double Divas level, Synchro Prima Donna, Prima Donna effect to give one of the banished cards to the opponent hand (careful) and special summon level one Deep Sea Artisan, she can send your top deck into grave to special summon a level 4 or lower from grave (Guitar), then Prima Donna and Guitar synchro away for a Barronn de Fleur who can't be destroyed by card effects. One card combo.
__________
Crystron Halqifibrax special summons:
•Plan A >> Citree, on opponents turn, Citree effect with a level 4 in grave to make Powered Inzektron and follow up with Halq into Crystron Quandax, and Quandax into Swordsoul Champion Cheng who will off the citree play have at least +200ATK/DEF and the Opponents cards will have at least -200ATK/DEF and he will respond to any banishment with his own, also indestructible as long as you have cards in the graveyard.
•Plan B >> Defender or Hexa, Make White Aura Whale on your opponents turn using Crystron Halq into Quandax with any level four extender, or Prima Donna and the Token summoned by banishing Speaker from grave (assuming you used Speaker and 1 Ice Barrier tuner to make Halqifibrax).
If Zujin is in grave he can come back off the Defender to trigger Defenders protection from battle.
If Zujin is not in grave, Send him off with Defender, so next turn is set up for his return.
____________
If you are able to get Ice Knight and Silent in turn 1 with any other level 4 you can Bahamut Shark into Toadally Awesome, protecting your plays keeping Ice knight on field, or hoping you had Defender of the ice barrier and your 3rd level four was Revealer to get him or Speaker to follow him up. You have the Defender and Ice knight and Toadally to send away off the Toads effect.
__________
General Wayne can get Ice Barrier to hand if you need to protect what you've got, then dump it for the one Kaiju, or get Medallion if you need specifics, or Freezing Chains if you want protection from extra deck monsters and have a play in grave.
In a tightspot, you can use Silent Sea Nettle to return any extra deck monsters or combo pieces in grave, or summon Mistar Boy to crash with the opponent, and Summon White Aura Whale from grave, or try to get Borrel Savage Dragon on the field when Mistar Boy and Halq are in grave.

Comments :
Prior of the Ice Barrier was too slow. The larger Ice Barriers were bricks, though Raiho can work with some changes.
I haven't had the materials to try the Atlantean Prince Nebatyss with 3x Atlantean Dragoons, but what I'm doing feels consistent.
Crystal Wing Synchro is very easy to make, could trade Borrel Savage Dragon for him.
I've seen Desert Locust played, the level 9 Crystron, the Moulinglacia but I felt what I had to remove to add them wouldn't be worth the reward.
I was playing with targets for Prima Donna other than the 1* Deep Sea Artisan and 3 cards could work if you take something out for them ; Needle Fish (when sent to GY, 1 monster your opponent controls loses 500ATK), Mermail Abyssnerei (When Sent to GY, mil a card and discard a card) works well with Zujin, Speaker, and Revealer if you already have another Revealer in hand, and Hammer Shark (Opt: reduce the level of this card from *4 to *3 and special summon 1 level 3 or lower monster from your hand.)
Open to suggestions please comment if you find something cool, or want to tell me your experience with the cards!
