Deep DEEP Under the Sea [New Archetype - Written]

[MickeyDee]

This archetype is based on deep sea life as well as flip effects and banishing cards (mostly your own) face down. Main Deck monsters are Fish based on the Bathypelagic  zone, Synchro monsters are Sea Serpents named after the abyssopelagic zone and the support cards that provide consistency if banished by the Main Deck monster's effects would portray a submarine voyage being assaulted by these creatures as they explore the depths. I had an idea that the deepest part of the ocean would be represented by Aqua XYZ Hadal Pelagic monsters but couldn't come up with good effects.
