The Side Deck is invaluable in tournament play. Facing certain Decks can be a walk in the park or a nightmare depending on the contents of your Side Deck. For example, a [[Burn Deck]] based around dealing direct damage through [[Card effect]]s and [[Spell Card]]s could be easily countered by including several cards to prevent [[Life Point]] damage, such as "[[Des Wombat]]" or "[[Nature's Reflection]]". Familiarizing oneself with the most popular Decks is a great way to know what cards to put in a Side Deck.
 
 
 
Common Side Deck cards include various forms of [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card|Trap]] removal, such as "[[Twin Twisters]]", and cards that can directly counter common strategies, such as "[[Prohibition]]", "[[Chain Destruction]]" and "[[Royal Prison]]".

Side Deck

A Side Deck (Japanese: サイドデッキ Saidodekki) is a collection of between 1 and 15 cards, separate from the Main Deck. In between Duels of a Match, players may exchange cards from their Side Deck with cards in their Main or Extra Deck[1] to better suit a strategy against an opponent's Deck.

Since a Side Deck is not compulsory, a value of 0 for a Side Deck is considered legal. Any value between 0 and 15 inclusive is permissible.
