Althemia Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/eCdiA.jpg[/img][/center] made edits from my YCML deck (which was pretty bad in the side department tbh) and ended up making this.

This Account is Unplayable Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Only possible change I would make is negging the Duality. Otherwise, looks perfectly solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Althemia Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I actually need half decent advice for this. ¬¬; Bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 How would you side here? If you have like no siding theory, you just have a collection of cards that won't really be used. Because your side looks like you're just siding in 1 card or 2 per different match-up plus a few for changing your overall strategy. I have absolutely no clue what a GB bad match-up actually is, but you should probably focus on that. Either that, or using everything there for an Inzektor match-up along with a random Hoplomus and Mirror Force. Third Fiendish Chain is more awesome than 2nd Smashing Ground. And I'd consider anything before even using a second Starlight Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] CyDra is good for dealing with decks that maindeck Rai-Oh and such since you really can't be doing with having to waste other resources on Rai-Oh most of the time and can help get rid of big beaters that GBs usually can't get over such as Gadjiltron Dragon, Malefics or just Machine Fortress and stuff. D.D. Crow is a nice side against things like Dark Worlds and stuff since I can banish their Grapha and stuff them from going into 3k beaters and therefore completely halting me from being able to do any tags and having to rely upon stuff like Smashing and Dark Hole. Effect Veiler against Inzektors, seeing as how a lot of the builds will be able to revive the Dragonfly easily and Chariot just won't cut it half of the time. Gorz is against those decks that I need to counter a lot, therefore leaving me with a thin backrow and no outs to beaters. It's a really good card in here and can probably bait a lot of Warnings if anything. Hoplomus is an absolutely amazing side tech. Not only can CyDra and Rai-Oh not run over it, but nearly everyone will be thinking that I have something like Murmillo or Retiari face-down which I don't want in ATK. On top of that, it also means that I can get outs to things such as Rai-Oh and CyDra all that easier considering how they ram into it and I can go into Besti/Murmillo/Whatever I may need. As well as this, tagging into Hoplomus means that Rabbit users cannot run over it, seeing as how it has 2400 DEF. 3rd MST is self explanatory. Shadow-Imprisoning for Dark Worlds and Inzektors again. Light-Imprisoning for Agents and things of the sort. Black Horn is for stopping those summons which I really don't want to waste Rai-Oh on. It can negate everything that Rai-Oh can and therefore can become a costless Warning sometimes. It is also a card which my opponent will think is just another classic GB backrow and no-one will be expecting something like it. Torrential should be obvious. As should Dust Tornado. Mirror Force is a pretty cool side this format, seeing as how most people won't try and pick off individual backrows in g2/g3 but instead just try to bait them. If they try to bait my Mirror Force, they'll be put at a significant disadvantage afterwards. I don't really understand how you don't know why most of my side cards are good. :l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Tracks Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I would main Effect Veiler instead of Fiendish Chain. Chain is vulnerable to S/T removal and you're either using it on a weak monster that your GB's can run over in which case Veiler is better or negating the attack of a large monster in which case something like D-Prison or CED would be better. I also wouldn't bother with SLR. Just because you run GB's doesn't mean you should be setting more then two backrow at any given time. Unless Heavy was already used or you have Heraklinos on board or something.

It's to be played face-down game 1 when your opponent doesn't know what you're playing to get an early game tag and then (usually) sided out when playing second.[/b] 3rd MST is self explanatory. [b]Better off maining it.[/b] Shadow-Imprisoning for Dark Worlds and Inzektors again. [b]The most common version of DWs that I remember is the Turbo which sides 3 MST and 2 Dust Tornado for hate.

If they set big backrows, the opponent immediately gets scared and tries to play conservative, which is what I want. If they play conservative, I mess up whatever advantage they may already have and it's pretty funny. :3 Veiler's not as good in here as Fiendish Chain tbh, seeing as how it contributes to backrow pressure and makes the opponent a lot more scared. Besides, I don't really want to be playing many monsters. :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
