Whats on your side? (besides your deck)

The side deck I have found to be one of the most important parts in deck building. You want to make game 2 and 3 (when it goes there) much easier and almost guarenteed victory. 

In my earlier post i mentioned what decks are constantly topping so for any new comers into yugioh or people who just want to get better, Listen up! 

One thing you want to make sure is how well your side deck fits your regular deck. If you are playing Lightsworns, would you really want to side d-fissure against xsabers? Sure it may hurt them but it can hurt you as much or even more.

Work your side deck smartly and you will get further in tournaments. So what tech choices are in general good for this format?

2-3 Trap Hole

1-2 Dust Torando

2 Nobleman of crossout

1 Royal oppression

D.D. crow

Trap Hole: I have found myself sidng this card alot. it just hits so much it can hit recruiters, stop searches form BWW, protect you weak monsters. Especially good in a slower format where special summoning happens less.

Dust Tornado: Alot of other side decks consist of a continous card that will screw you over. Whether its d-fissure against Lightsworns or skill drain against gadgets, you want this card to try to stop them. Other althernatives include twister and MST if you don't main it.

Nobleman of Crossout: This slower format has called for more sets to happen. Certain cards like hamster and magical Merchant are becoming more popular.

Royal Opression: Even special summon heavy decks like lightsworns side it. If royal oppression hurts you opponent more, side it. It also calls for a plan to play around it.

D.D. Crow: Alot of the Meta Decks are still graveyard based and so is one of the upcomming ones, infernities. 

Well I hope this article has given you a bit more insight on sidedecking and how much advantage you should take of it.

  1. personaly NOC is just for cat IMO. merchant in LS is purely purely bad. whoever thought this tech was good, most have probably netdecked. ryko is better to put in LS than merchant.

    D.D.crow as side at this time (before shining)
    it seems alright. mostly for POA or designated summon. to me its until shining D comesout
    which then people wlll be looking for trap card called "Crack from DD" which is more efficient
