RUBBADUBBERS
https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=11464712
Year of Origin: 2003
Is it real?: Yes!
Ace Monster: Rubbadubber Tubb
The Main Races: Fish
The Main Attributes: LIGHT
Extra Monsters: None
Attack: 3/5
Defence: 4/5
Strategy: 4/5
Intellect: 4/5
Luck: 4/5
THE STORY:
In a house in Bathsville, a band of bathroom toys come to life when no-one's looking. They have dreams of how to get around situations, and, more notably, get themselves ready for bathtime when it arrives!
STRATEGY:
The Rubbadubbers specialize in keeping themselves clean from enemy effects, and they do this by bouncing themselves back to the hand at the start of your turn before summoning themselves again. Their effects also can't be negated during your turn!
They additionally gain benefits whenever a Rubbadubber is Special Summoned, such as Rubbadubba Amelia providing healing, and Special Summoning a level 4 or lower Rubbadubber when she's summoned, Rubbadubba Reg providing card draw, and Rubbadubber Finbar powering up when he's summoned based on the number of Rubbadubbers that were summoned this turn.
Their Spell cards also keep the battlefield clean: Rubbadubber Bounce can bounce enemy effects right back at them, and banish all level 3 or lower enemy monsters if the effect would have destroyed one of your Rubbadubbers, Rubbadubba Dive can Special Summon Rubbadubba monsters, and Rubbadubba Dream and Rubbadubba Tub can bounce back Rubbadubbas for extra summons! (Rubbadubba Dream is also the deck's main searcher!)
When you're ready to make the final splash, bring out the group's leader, Rubbadubber Tubb! Not only does he gain a permanent ATK boost that lingers even when he leaves the field whenever a Rubbadubber monster is summoned, but he also stops hand traps dead in their tracks when he's summoned. He can also protect your Rubbadubbas from enemy cards effects during your turn, and turn enemy effects into mere healing by tributing a Rubbadubber!
KILLER COMBOS:
Use Rubbadubber Dive to Special Summon Rubbadubber Finbar, then use Rubbadubber Dream to search out Rubbadubber Tubb. If you have not yet used your Normal Summon, you can use Rubbadubber Dream to bounce Rubbadubber Finbar, Normal Summon him, and then, by treating him as 2 tributes, Tribute Summon Rubbadubber Tubb!
Rubbadubber Sploshy is the deck's other searcher, but his ability to Normal Summon an additional Fish monster is quite difficult to trigger in most situations without the right cards, as you need to summon 2 or more Rubbadubbers that turn. But remember, you can always summon extra Rubbadubbers by bouncing them back at the start of the turn and then Special Summoning them, which will help power up Rubbadubber Finbar and Rubbadubber Tubb!
With no Trap cards, Royal Decree can easily be used without any worry on your own cards.
