Resident Fascist Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I require some help on what a generic sideboard should look like, anyway discuss the effects of having a side deck and how it affects metagame play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shizuku Oikawa Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Dark World's Greatest weakness. I'm good at Deck building, since I never generally netdeck. But of all things, the Side Deck is my worst trait in anything, so I'm not sure on how good it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 My general rule on side decks: 1-2 S/T removal 3-4 sets of 2-3 cards meant for top meta decks 2-4 cards for anti-basis of metagame (i.e. graveyard; banishment; Synchro spam) any extra space is anti-sidedeck cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greiga Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 All my sides have some variation of this: 1 Galaxy-Eyes 2 Crow 2 Veiler 2-3 cards for stopping tier 2 decks 2-3 extra power for my deck 2-3 cards for stopping tier 1 decks 2-3 Prohibition side tech/staples that didn't fit/etc. Of course, I'm not who you'd call a master deckbuilder, but it might help.

J-Max Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 As a rule of thumb I always try to vary the Side Deck as much as I can. I sometimes even have a Staple or 2 in there. If say for example I don't notice a Star Road in the previous Duel, i'll Side a Heavy Storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob the Rainicorn Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 well, I suppose if there is a generic side deck, then those things should be incorporated into the main deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob the Rainicorn Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Effect Veiler usually is used in the main deck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Eh, I tend to save it for the side deck. I've also rarely run into it in the opponent's main deck, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob the Rainicorn Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 wow really? what about Maxx "C"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I've run into 3 of those. But it's never gone well for them, as I'm not stupid. If they got Maxx C, I limit my SSing. But 2 of the times, I didn't care, milled a ton with Twilight (Solar Recharges x3 + Charge + bulb + Celestia and other shenanigans), then dropped JD x2, and DAD. I didn't care about running into a Gorz there, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderVolt Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 i tend to run Gozen if the deck im currently running is strictly a specific attritubte (or can maintain with only one attribute i.e. Gemknights or Watts; and in Watt cases i also side Rivarly) But other then that i tend to keep Puppet Plant, Veilers, Maxx Cs, Thunder Kings, Royal Prisons, Shadow/Light Mirror, Crows, ettc. Sometimes i leave MInd Crush and Shoot there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowferret Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 i mainly build my Side Deck to counter side, because mine is a deck that gets completely raped by a few choice cards, like Consecrated Light and Royal Decree. ._. So, I'd agree, it depends on what deck you yourself are running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Wouldn't Cyber Valley be a great Side Deck card due to its Versatility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welche the crab Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Maxx "C" is only better than Veiler at high level competitive play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Fascist Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 My side looks like this ATM: 1 typhoon 3 Closed Forest 2 Gozen Match 1 Veiler 2 D.D. Crow 2 Light imprison 1 shadow imprison 2 TKRO 2 Doomcalibur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob the Rainicorn Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 what deck is this for Shard? T.G.? don't Doomcal. not really sure why you're using Closed Forest, is that for the Dark World match-up? you would be better off getting in Bottomless or Dimensional Prison. or probably Breaker. main 3 TKRO.

RyanAtlus Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Doesn't anyone side Leeching the Light anymore? I still do since Agents are a terrible matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabber2033 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Side Decking has always been my problem too. I'm using a LS deck right now that is crippled by Macro decks. I have no idea what to side for them. Except maybe Imperial Iron Wall, but there are chances I could mill it or something, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Burden of the Mighty + Dimensional Fissure is pretty much one of the easiest sides to do this format. Burden immediately brings Grapha and Hyperion to 1900 ATK. Gives you the better match-up. Run into it with a Rai-Oh or something and banish it via Fissure. Maxx C, to be honest, is unreliable. Competitive players can easily work around it, and amateur players simply can't use it. Smokescreen siding is actually quite reliable assuming you do it correctly. What they side is useless (and therefore weakening their build that you lost against), and is irrelevant if you didn't side counters because of this fact.

This Account is Unplayable Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 A side-deck is almost specific to the deck you're using. Best way to build it is to have a counter to the decks that trouble your deck the most, and focus less on the ones your deck is strong against. And of course, side cards that don't conflict with your deck (ignoring Smokescreen), because a certain someone *coughBScough* thought it'd be a good idea to side D-Fissure in DWs... and it didn't go down well.
