Deckbuilding: Cards Outside Of Archetype Besides Staples

[Aix]

Discuss how many tech cards/cards that are outside the archetype you use in a Deck (ones that aren't 100% required in the Deck) and which you typically like or want to include, I'm talking about cards like Effect Veiler, Torrential, BTH, MSTs, Lances and other staples. When making a Deck, how much space do you reserve for these kind of cards?

how the fuck is torrential a tech card

[quote name="Ms. Fortune" post="6179889" timestamp="1365723974"]how the fuck is torrential a tech card[/quote] I think he's trying to say "What stuff do you like, taking into account that you're already running these staples." I could be wrong though. One card I like to tech in Hieratics is TGU, in case my initial push fails.

Okay, cards that you don't 100% need, but typically like to include.

Multiples of specific boss monsters, would be My thing, then.
Look, I can understand why an Extra Deck wants to consist of Xyz/Synchro monsters of every Rank/Level, but wheres the fun in that?
If your main boss monster is something like, oh, I don't know, Utopia Ray V... Then run Him and Utopia in 3s.
Cuz' lets be honest, if your deck's goal IS something like that, then having it's Summon negated and/or the monster Banished, won't really let you make that same play again, as you can't possibly make it again if it fell to something like that. Solution? Run it in multiples =D

I have a friend that puts TGU and BLS in everything.

 

I was hoping he'd grow out of it.

That's actually pretty useful, something I have to keep in mind. Liked.

 

OP: I like to put stuff like Compulse in, and some Rabbits never do any harm in most cases, if I don't need the space for something else. Upstart also sees some space from time to time.

Splashing 2 Tourguide everywhere is not too shabby actually as it increases the consistency of most decks and Temtempo gives you an out to a lot of stall Xyz.

Fifteen spots, of course.

 

I sometimes throw Crane Crane in things that dump Level 3 monsters.

The Pro to it, is you get to run more of your preferred bosses.
The con to it, is you loose more Extra Deck slots.

It's like if your deck can make Level 7 Synchros/Black Rose without doing anything, then run Rose in 2s/3s for added field control.

BLS IN EVERYTHING!

Here's an odd one. The old ekibiyo drakmord card. A repeating kill as long as you can keep it active.

Except whole games don't last two turns right now. That's the problem. Best singleton tech is totally Enemy Controller, just saying.

Gonna have to agree with Shard here, it's too slow to do any good, at that point, either you or your opponent has gotten rid of the monster already/game is over.
