Sorry Conrad if I seem interrupting. I was bored and decided to post one of my decks. This is the Orca SaD deck, a deck running solely around controlling the field and hand.

Orca's have the power to destroy a monster if you sacrifice a Torpedo Fish, or destroy a Spell or Trap card by sacrificing a Cannonball Spear Shellfish. These are easily obtained and reused, through the Mother Grizzlys, Sangan and Salvages. Orca becomes a level 4 monster under A Legendary Ocean, so he's easier to summon. Levia Dragon - Daedalus was a difficult choice for this deck. As he can destroy the field, and set it up for Orca, he's also tricky. You have to use him at the right time.

I also chose to side the second copies of Sakuretsu Armor and Bottomless Trap Hole, in favor of the Spiritual Water Art's. Since Orca can't attack the hand, these do. They're good late game, when the hand size is low. However, if you come up against a more aggressive player, switch them out for the Sakuretsu Armor and Bottomless Trap Hole.

Amphibious Bugroth MK-3 is just there for some LP damage. It can also be recovered with Salvage. Salvage is another card with tricky usage. It's crucial that the player using this deck analyze the field situation in order to debate what to bring back. If the opponent has 2 monsters and 1 Spell/Trap face-down, it might be better to bring back an Amphibious Bugroth and a Cannonball Spear Shellfish instead of two Torpedo Fish.

The "bait" monsters, Torpedo Fish and Cannonball Spear Shellfish, are also decent monsters themselves. They pack 1200 ATK when A Legendary Ocean is on the field, and they are unaffected by Spell Cards. This means that they won't die by Dark Hole, won't switch for Enemy Controller, etc... This makes them useful attackers and defenders as well. But most of the time, they'll simply be used for tributing.

In conclusion, does this deck have the power, resources, and stamina to compete with other decks? I didn't want to post this in the Advanced Deck Discussion, since I'm not looking for a review/fixes. I want to know your opinions on this decent deck, as well as the knowledge of whether or not it's tournament worthy. Comment, criticism, insults and praise are all welcome.

This should stll go in the Adv. Deck Disscusion even though you aren't looking for r/fs.

Hmm anyways, about Orca decks, they aren't all that great. Also you deck isn't fully based on it either. My only problem is you will need certain cards for it to "be one" or a solid deck.

You're relying on:
Getting Orca on the feild
Getting ALO on the feild
Getting Cannonball Spear Shellfish and/or Torpedo Fish on your feild/hand.

This kind of deck can't be good honestly in woth this banned list. Drawing is a lot slower so most of the time you'd usually waste your draw :/

Seems very original to me. Maybe some last wills would be nice since you are tributing the torpedos fishes so u can keep using them. Nice read.

Orca isn't going to work very well, no madder how well the deck builder builds.
It way to much, for so little. ALO, is that easy to otain, and hold. Unless your meta, then Orca has a chance of doom.
Basically, its effect is too weak to maintain control.

Also, I'd try the deck out. It can work, if played right, also, you'll see how easy to destroy a Water's chance of survival on land.

Orca would be much better if you only had to discard Torpedo Fish and Cannon Ball fish and the two monsters actually had decent stats and effects.

One thing you may want to consider. Since you need to tribute the Cannonball Spear Shellfish and Torpedo Fish you may need to add an Ultimate Offerings to your deck. I am not attempting to fix your deck but trying to help your deck's strategy. Getting the Cannoball and Torpedos to the field is one thing, but after you salvage them you need to have enough summons in a turn to get them out when you need them. Ultimate offerings will do this for you.

Hey, that's not a bad idea. I was toying with it, but I decided to drop it. I'll test it though!

Hell Reckless Summon + Salvage = Good discard means for this deck.

Consider it if you will.
