Whats a side deck?

Question

Whats a side deck?

Answer 1

its a mini deck that is suppose to help you with different game plans.

its where you can switch out cards between duels.

and your only allowed 15 cards in your side deck.

but if your really good you dont even need a side deck b/c its really a waste of time.

Answer 2

Side Deck: Must follow the forbidden/limited list. If there is an unlimited card in your deck and side deck you are only allowed 3 of it in your main deck and side deck combined. if its semi limited then you are allowed 2 combined, if its limited then you are allowed only 1 in either main deck or side deck.

In a Match there are 3 duels/games. After your first duel in a 3 game Match you and your opponent are allowed to take cards from your side deck and replace them with cards in your main deck. Rule is that if you take one card from the side deck you must take one card from your main deck and switch them. So basically after you are done side decking you'll still have 15 cards at the end. If you are wondering if you don't have to have a side deck at all and still play, yes you are allowed. You must have 0 or 15 cards for a side deck.

Side Decks have selected cards that are mostly used against specific deck types for example decks like Gladiator Beasts, Lightsworns.

Here are some examples of cards you would put in your side deck and the purpose.

Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror- This card negates effects of Dark monsters on the field or in the graveyard when the effect activates.

Put this card in your main deck when you are up against a Dark Return Deck.

Deck Lockdown- this card will not allow any special summoning of monsters straight from the deck for 2 turns.

Use this card against Gladiator Beasts since they special summon themselves from the deck.

Good luck!

Answer 4

a card set contain 15 other cards apart from your normal deck.  Your still allowed to only have up to 3 copies in your deck and side deck combined.  Side decks allow you to switch cards in between duels to change up some strategies or moves that can help improve your game.  The most important things to keep in it are spells and traps because monsters don't really need to be traded.
