Side decks: good or bad

[iiShinichi_Kudo]

people been saying if side decks are good or bad, side decks are to help you (if you use one) if you draw a crappy card at the time you really need a good card. people will say having a side is good and others will say it is bad. its your pick what you want to do.

That's absolutely right; it's your choice to suck so hard by ignoring something as fundemental as a side-deck. It's also your choice to lose every serious competition you get yourself in, or casual for that matter, until the only opponents you can beat are 4 year olds who get confused and start crying because they don't know how to summon.

That is not the reason for a side deck. At all. Not drawing a good card is dependent on appropriate statistics and proper shuffling, and has absolutely nothing to do with the side deck or vice-versa.

You are so bad at this game.

Not interested in who won your shitty tournaments. Top 20 is terrible by the way.

And so you know, side decks aren't public information. You play game 1 and declare you're siding for game 2, no one looks at you and goes, "THAT f*****t DOESN'T HAVE A SIDE DECK!", nor is it up to you to even tell them.

So, keep up the effort in trying to show how "good" you are.

You're terrible.

Agreed. A proper side deck isn't an assortment of random cards as some assholes would think, rather it's 0-15 cards kept seperate from the main deck meant to cover weaknesses in the main deck. No deck is so good that it would have absolutely no weakness; a properly built deck can have FEW weaknesses, but none have no weakness.

A side deck is composed to switch out with some of the main deck in match plays found in tournaments and most casual games, to counterattack and comeback from a possible loss.

No amount of arguing you could ever do, and please trust everyone on this to avoid looking like a complete idiot when everyone proves you wrong and you come crying back here, but no amount of arguing will ever make a side deck NOT useful.

Every good duelist has a side deck, and many shitty duelists think they're so amazing that they can get by without one. NOBODY CAN. There's a positive correlation between having a side deck (one that functions as it should, not haphazardly assorted), and success. LEARN THIS NOW.

I am not a fan of side decks, as if you make a deck make it ready for anything in the first place instead of using your side deck to fix your problems.

A side deck to me is a excuse to swap card in and out that don`t work as you expected when a enemy plays something(deck) you normally cant counter. so you swap cards in and try again but this time your swap can mess you up as a deck should have mutable ways of winning and if you lose once way what is the chance that this time around your old un swapped deck would of had a better chance of winning. Highly.

Or on a side note.. I don`t use one never have , and I have had my wins and losses but I still say a side deck wont be too effective when it messes up your deck and how it`s used normally.

No deck can beat every single type of deck on its own. that's why you have a side deck that has cards that will help you counter decks that you might encounter. If your deck focuses on S/T removal and your opponent uses barely any s/t's then you should have a back-up strategy in your side deck to change the focus around.

if people want to yell at me for not making a side deck I will for my paradox deck, that way I can summon my cards easy

Inconsistency is also terrible.

Why have to cram everything in the main deck to try and handle all of your problems, when you can be smart and keep your main deck streamlined for what it's supposed to do and adjust accordingly if/when necessary?

That is how you win games consistently. Not the garbage you and the OP spit out.

Side decks are a strategical point to the game, it in no way means your main deck is weak.

If your deck didn't work the first time against an opponent, the chances it will work a second time is probably very minimum. When you build a deck, you build with the side deck in mind. That way when you switch out cards, you're not losing any win conditions.
