Release the Kraken!!!!

No, we're not going to release the Kraken, rather we're gonna release the almighty king of Atlantis, the Atlantean Dragon King Poseidra.

With the release of LTGY, Atlantean Emperor Tridon was released giving Poseidra light and hope to come out of people's binders and see the light of day. I admit I am one of those people who were a Poseidra fan and tried everything to make it work, and now I got my wish. Thank you Konami for bringing us this cute serpent.

As you can see, I didn't put any Atlantean Dragoon in the deck because the only monsters that triggers the Atlantean effects are Tridon, Poseidra, and Gungnir in my Extra Deck.

Since this is a Poseidra Turbo, I only included cards that can make that quickly. The main way of summoning of Poseidra is through Tridon. You can do this by having Diva on hand, you summon Diva then special Tridon from the deck and special Poseidra from the hand or deck, but you should always summon from the deck if given the chance to thin your deck.

Another way is through Armsman. Summon Armsman then extra summon Tridon, then special Poseidra. After applying Tridon's -300 ATK you can now pop a face-up card of your opponent.

Marksman is only two since I won't let him attack frequently and his only target is Tridon, but when Marksman make a sure attack it summons Tridon and makes an instant 3000 damage. After that you can summon Poseidra as a defense instead of letting small monsters be your shields for your opponent's turn.

Note that Poseidra is immune to Torrential and BTH when summoned by Tridon since the -300ATK will happen last making them miss.

Lastly, the classic way of summoning Poseidra is through Atlantean Roar. Activate Roar in your opponent's End Phase then in your turn, set as many backrow as you can then special Poseidra from grave or hand. Although you'll most likely not have a chance to apply the -300 effect of Poseidra since your costs will be Atlanteans most of the time and ending up in a direct attack.

I added Debris Dragon to make an instant Gungnir. After Snowman Eater does its job of destroying monsters, I summon Debris Dragon for a Gungnir or Black Rose Dragon depending on what is needed. It is another way of synchro summoning instead of just relying on Diva.

Surfacing is also in there because Tridon is not Salvageable, so I use it to special him from the grave when I need him.

One of the most fun card in the deck is Foolish Burial. You can pick from Snowman, Poseidra or whoever you need depending on the game. I usually send Poseidra for deck thinning, sometimes Tridon or another Atlantean to just Surface it from the grave and use Tridon's effect. Aside from them, I also send Snowman to make a Black Rose or Gungnir depending on the situation.

Lastly, I summon Phantom Beast Plane Drago-Sack and use its effect to summon tokens along with Diva to summon a Stardust or Red Dragon Archfiend or any other lvl 8 synchro.

I'm still in the middle of deck testing of utilizing Atlantean Dragoons, but so far this one's better so any kind of positive helps are welcomed.

Lastly, a bad draw is a bad draw when you draw all Poseidra.
