Honestly Umi dies real hard to the standard suite of handtraps and board-breakers. (Also for the event, it has a terrible matchup against Sky Strikers so you'll probably see it less as you continue to climb).

Ashing Kairyu is an underrated move because while the deck has plenty of ways to get to its monsters and Umi, Kai is the only way to guarantee the big dick cards of Dark Reef and Sea Stealth Attack. Without those the deck is praying you can't play through a single negate (and Jellyfish can't even stop traps lol Imperm)

"Terrible matchup against Sky Strikers" you say, when it's absolutely bodied my Sky Striker deck every time I've faced it. Every single time I've played against an Umi Control deck so far, they've opened with both the field spell and Sea Stealth Attack, then SSA keeps me from destroying either of them and they just outgrind me from there. Eventually I decided to swap out the Twin Twisters I was using before for Cosmic Cyclone so I could banish SSA instead, but then when I finally did that, they immediately played a second copy.

Kairyu has only appeared in 1 of my 5 losses to the deck so far, and I don't even know wtf Dark Reef is because I haven't seen it yet. The main problems I'm having are with SSA and that god-forsaken Jellyfish. Maybe I'm just having terrible luck with them having SSA and the field spell every god damn time, but this deck has been infuriating to play against.

One of them even summoned this fucking thing and I had nothing I could do but scoop: https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Testudo_erat_Numen
