Subject: How to beat the most popular decks around, the easyway-Umbrella_Corporation Hey everyone! I know there are a lot of deck types out there, and all of you probably think that there isn't enough space to counter all of those different cards. Well, there is a way. That's what side decks are for. Decks that you probably will see roaming around are beatdown, exodia, burner, ritual, fusion, disruption, and defense. The most deadly are exodia, beatdown and burner, and maybe toon. So, cards you can use in a side deck to stop them is: 2 card destuction- exodia 2 delinquent duo- exodia 3 horn of heaven- burner(jynzo 7, ooguchi....) & toon 2 shield & sword- beatdown(too many and your monsters can also get weaker.) 2 mystical space typhoon- toon 2 block attack- beatdown & amazingly toons too. 2 solemn judgement- if you don't have this in your deck, it can beat any of the above if played correctly. Cards that could stop any of the above and SHOULD be in your deck are: cyber jar- can stop exodia if played right. heavy storm- can stop toons magic jammer- can stop any of these decks and many more.... Also.... I don't know why people get scared when facing some of these decks. In burner, they play the SORL and jinzo 7 combo, you use magic jammer, heavy storm, or horn of heaven. They play cannon soldier, you trap hole it. It's so simple. In exodia, you screw up and attack sangan, no worries, don't attack any more, and use those delinquent duos and card destructions in the next few turns. In beatdown, you see first turn raigeki+heavy storm+la jinn combo don't freak. Lay down a few solemns, horn of heavens, magic jammers, seven tools, and put those shield $ sword to good use against their summoned skull. And toon decks, you see them playing that toon world, use that mystical space typhoon, magic jammer, or solemn judgement. Or, use heavy storm the next turn. It's not so hard, that's what side decks are for. see ya in the chat! Umbrella_Corporation wardragon@hebra.com
