Side Deck thread!

[FinalInzektion]

One of the most important aspect of dueling, is the side deck. This is what sets apart the good duelist from mediocre ones, and with this I hope to set our members of the academy in the right direction. So below I'll post a list of cards that are good against the current meta. If anyone needs help with other decks, comment here and I'll gladly help!

When building your side deck, try and see what decks your deck does well against, and where it needs a bit of help. The more you use your deck, the clearer it becomes what you'll need help with. The harder the match up, the heavier you should side against that deck. One thing you should look for between your side decks, is cards that can counter multiple tier decks. The more you duel stronger opponents, the more you'll feel like you need a bigger side deck.

To get the best from the side deck, find cards that hurt your opponent without hurting yourself. An example. When I duel against H.A.T, I side deck in Forbidden Graveyard. This card is a solid choice for my Inzektors. I can dump a combo piece into the graveyard, while negating the hands, and Artifacts. Total deck lock down, without hurting my deck the slightest bit.

[The Life Less One]

My side deck is pretty much this
2 Debunk (Amazing Side deck. Arsenal, Anjelly, Hands and more)
2 D.D. Crow (Again stops a lot of grave plays)
2 Overworked (Madolches, Fire Fist)
2 System Down (Gaygia)
2 Maxx C (Stops a lot of deck in their tracks because they don't want their opponent to get free draws)
2 Veiler (If I haven't main decked it)
2 Light Mirrors (Bujins, Constellars)
2 Shadow Mirrors (Blackwings, Infernity. Only if Veiler isn't in side deck)
1 Royal Prison (Artifacts, Fire Kings, Dark Worlds Mythic Rulers, Hieratic Rulers)
