Yu-Gi-Oh

An Umi Control Deck in Yu-Gi-Oh! is a strategy-focused deck built around the Field Spell Umi (or more commonly, its upgraded versions like A Legendary Ocean) to control the board by weakening opponents' monsters and enhancing WATER-Attribute monsters. The deck typically includes cards like Ocean Dragon Lord - Kairyu-Shin, which locks down spell and trap zones, and Sea Stealth Attack, which protects Umi while allowing for defensive plays and monster recycling. The core gameplay revolves around establishing a strong field presence, disrupting the opponent’s plays with floodgate effects, and maintaining card advantage through protection and recursion. By controlling the tempo of the duel and limiting the opponent’s options, the Umi Control Deck grinds out wins through strategic positioning and resource management rather than explosive combos.
