Tout est dans le titre ^^ un article en anglais Written by: Jason Grabher-Meyer. Très intéressant , je ne peux que confirmer ses dires^^ je recommande.
If you want to win your Duels, a strong Main Deck is definitely important – but so is a powerful Side Deck! Becoming a good Deck builder is one thing, but creating a great Side Deck and putting it to use is a totally different process: few Duelists get it right.
Luckily, Side Decking doesn’t have to be hard. I’ll show you 6 steps to successful Side Decking, so all you have to do is follow along and fill in the blanks. We’ll cover the first half of the process today, and then finish up later in the week. Let’s look at the first 3 steps to get you on your way.
Step 1 – Deciding What To Side Against
Before you even start thinking about which cards to use, you need to consider the Decks you want to Side Deck against – which matchups you’ll want to Side cards for. Your Side Deck can have up to 15 cards, so most Duelists choose 4 or 5 different Decks when they build their Side. Which Decks should make your hit list? Ask yourself the following:
-What Decks do you play against the most?
-What Decks are the hardest to play against?
-What new Decks do you think you might see the next time you Duel?
You should be able to answer those three questions and find 4 or 5 matchups to prepare for. Once you’ve decided what to Side Deck for, you’re done with Step 1.
Step 2 – How Many Cards To Side For Each Matchup?
Usually, figuring out which Decks to Side for is easy. But actually deciding how to divide your 15 Side Deck slots amongst those 4 or 5 Decks is trickier. You probably don’t want to just pack 3 cards each for 5 different Decks – you could wind up having more cards than you need for 1 matchup, and then not have enough cards for others. Here are some guidelines that can help you decide how many cards to Side for each matchup:
-If a frequent matchup is tough for you, you should probably Side 4-5 cards to help you beat that Deck.
-If a frequent matchup is good for you, then devoting just 2 cards in your Side Deck is probably enough.
-The more you expect to play against a Deck, the more important it is to have multiple cards for that matchup. If a Deck is really good against your strategy, but almost nobody plays it, you shouldn’t let it eat too much space in your Side Deck.
If you devote too much room in your Side to stopping one Deck, you may cost yourself options in other matchups. Also, keep in mind that your Main Deck has a lot of important cards you can’t Side Deck out – most Decks will have a hard time rotating out more than 4 or 5 cards – so siding more than 5 cards for one matchup might not be useful.
Remember, even if your Deck is great in 1 particular matchup, you shouldn’t ignore it when you build your Side Deck. A lot of Duelists make that mistake, but any matchup can always be better if you rotate in a couple different cards, no matter how good it was to begin with. SHONEN JUMP Championship and Regional Qualifier winners never ignore a matchup that they expect to play.
Step 3 – Deciding What To Side In
Okay – so you’ve decided on the 4 or 5 Decks you want to Side Deck against, and you’ve got a rough idea of how many cards you want for each. Now comes the fun part: actually deciding which cards you want to Side Deck in.
There are dozens of Decks that you might want to Side Deck against.. Since this is about building your skills from the ground up so you can make your own decisions, I won’t go and list them all. Instead, I’ll help you learn how to identify a potential card for your Side Deck. Here are some good things to look for in potential Side Deck cards:
-Cards that eliminate problems are usually better than cards that delay problems. For instance, let’s look at 2 similar monster cards you could Side Deck against Gladiator Beasts:
Sending a monster back to the top of your opponent's Deck does a lot more than just get rid of a monster. It also clogs your opponent's next draw with a card you already know the identity of and forces them to use their Normal Summon if they want it on the field again.
Legendary Jujitsu Master and G.B. Hunter do similar things, but there’s one big difference: G.B. Hunter leaves your opponent’s Gladiator Beast on the field, while Jujitsu Master sends it back to the Deck. Jujitsu Master has lower DEF, but it eliminates the threat. G.B. Hunter only delays the threat: once your opponent destroys G.B. Hunter he’ll attack again with the Gladiator Beast you blocked.
-Some cards can be rotated in against many different Decks. Since they let you cover several matchups without taking up extra space, these cards can be hugely valuable to your Side Deck.
-Consistency is important, but drawing too many Sided cards that do the same thing can hurt you. If you Side Deck 4 or 5 cards for one matchup, make sure that the cards you Side attack your opponent’s strategy in a couple different ways. If you’re only prepared to stop one part of your opponent’s strategy, they could still beat you with all the other parts.
With these 3 steps, you can build yourself a killer Side Deck to take on the top Decks you expect to face. But that’s only half the challenge – actually using your Side Deck is the most important part of the equation. Join us next time, and we’ll show you how to put that Side Deck to work.
Last time around we talked about how to build the perfect Side Deck, helping you pick 15 cards to take on the top 4 or 5 Decks you expect to Duel against. A lot of Duelists get to that point and call it a day, not realizing they’ve only done half the job. Just building your Side Deck isn’t enough: you also have to know how to use it.
Step 4 – What To Side Out
Knowing what to Side in for each of your big matchups is great, but you don’t just add cards from your Side Deck to your Main Deck – you need to rotate cards out of your Main Deck to make room. That can be tricky: you won’t want to Side out the same cards in every matchup. Consider the following for each Deck you plan to Side against:
-Which cards are so important to your strategy that you can’t Side them out? Those cards need to stay.
-Which cards are less effective in this matchup? If a card isn’t as good against a particular Deck, consider removing it once your first Duel is over.
-Which cards are flexible? Which are good, but not as good in this matchup as cards from your Side Deck?
Those three questions should be enough to help you figure out which cards to Side out. If you don’t have answers for a specific Deck, then the easiest solution is to just practice playing that matchup until things are clearer. Don’t be afraid to experiment: try Siding out different cards until you find a combination you’re happy with.
Step 5 – A Complete Plan!
Once you decide what to Side in and out for each matchup, you take all the guesswork out of using your Side Deck. Ever sat there between Duels wondering what exactly you should change? It’s not a great feeling – trying to create a Side Decking plan in the 3 minutes between Duels isn’t easy, and time pressure causes bad decisions.
By creating your complete Side Decking plan in advance, what would normally be a difficult set of decisions becomes simple reflex: grab the cards to Side out, grab the cards to Side in, and get shuffling. All you have to do is remember the right combination of cards for the 4 or 5 Decks you’re Siding against, and with a little practice that’ll be easy. You’ll never make a bad decision, because you already made those decisions days (or weeks!) before you sat down to Duel.
Step 6 – Adapting On The Fly
Of course, just because you have a plan doesn’t mean you always have to stick to it. Sometimes your opponent may have a unique playstyle, or he might run cards that you didn’t expect. The good news? Your plan isn’t useless just because you have to switch it up. In fact it’s quite the opposite: your plan gives you a starting point that you can adapt on the fly. It’s way easier to adjust a plan, than to come up with a new one while time is ticking down.
Follow these 6 steps and Side Decking for your top matchups will be a breeze. Bad matchups can become good matchups, and good matchups get even better! Because you have a complete plan for how to use your Side Deck, you’ll also have an easier time adapting to new twists within those matchups. When a new Deck surprises you, you’ll be able to compare it to the ones you planned for, and then rework your plans to fit the new situation. Side Decking doesn’t have to be hard, and if you master it you’ll see a huge difference when you Duel. One of the biggest things that sets good Duelists apart from great Duelists is their Side Deck, and now you can make the most of yours.

Vraiment très intéressant, je pense qu'il oublie juste de parler des cartes de side "flexible", que tu sides à plusieurs decks, ce qui te permet de gagner des slots.
