Yu-Gi-Oh! World Cup of Monsters - The Aquarium: Tournament of Aqua-Types!

[~ P O L A R I S ~]

Greetings citizens of Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Maker!

 

Today I'm excited to announce a grand tournament of ALL Aqua-Type monsters released up to this point! (April 6th, 2017).

 

Water is essential to all living things, and no more so for any than to the Aqua-Type monsters that master the element, let it become a defining part of their existence, and live or die by their water supply. They utilize water in its manifold forms and states, from summoning waves to pinpointing opponents with pressurized blasts, they freeze opponents dead in their tracks and conjure confusing illusions of fog and steam! They've many tricks and ancient magicks at their disposal to dispose of enemies, though some eschew subtlety in favour of a sharp trident right to the face, a brutal weapon in the fashion of the God of the Sea's. Though they tend not to stray far from the seas and their beloved Umi, they are as ubiquitous as any other monster type, occupying the innermost trenches of the oceans to the clouds above from which they rain down. From the moist swamplands home to any number of croaking creatures, to the extreme northern reaches beyond the Ice Barrier where few dare to inhabit. Today, you will be deciding which Aqua-Type monsters most resonate with you, and together with your fellow members we will decide which is the site's favourite Aqua-Type monster of all!

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

Honestly this is a really cool idea and I'm glad you decided to do this.

 

Especially starting with Aqua since it's one of my favorites. :D

 

Oh some advice btw might be good to make sure that between this and the Pokemon one coming soon there aren't too many threads at once so people don't miss a vote cause of the number. :)

Thank you for your blessings everyone!

 

I'll take that in mind Cow, I think it would be best if I did the Qualifying rounds in 4-day quarters rather than halves. There will still be many threads given the number of contestants and how dear each one of them is, but might make it slightly less "floody", so to speak.
