 +
|-
 +
| [[Gladiator Beasts]] || + || [[Corridor of Agony]] || It may seem like it would Cripple the deck, however it can be bypassed by cards like [[Dust Tornado]]. It also doesn't stop the Extra Deck monsters like [[Gyzarus]].
 +
|-

 +
|-
 +
| [[Gladiator Beasts]] || + || [[Legendary Jujitsu Master]] || Stops the GB from tagging out. Top decks the monster. High DEF (No Non-Tribute Effect Monster GB can beat it by itself), however it can be bypassed by cards like [[Enemy Controller]], [[Smashing Ground]], [[Test Tiger]] and [[Gyzarus]].
 +
|-
 +
| [[Gladiator Beasts]] || - || [[Swallow Flip]] || Stops almost every Monster in this deck.
 +
|-
 +
| [[Gladiator Beasts]] || - || [[Chivalry]] || Stops almost every Monster in this deck.
 +
|-
 +
| [[Gladiator Beasts]] || - || [[Solemn Warning]] || Stops every Monster in this deck. Works best against [[Gyzarus]] and [[Heraklinos]], that way they stay in the Graveyard.
 +
|-
 +
| [[Gladiator Beasts]] || - || [[Mirror of Oaths]] || It doesn't negate the Effect, but it does destroy the monster, and you draw 1 card so you don't lose card advantage.
 +
|-
 +
| [[Gladiator Beasts]] || - || [[D.D. Warrior Lady]] || When attacked, she removes the monster that attacked. GBs generally run 1 [[Equeste]], [[Bestiari]], etc. and without that 1 monster, the deck would be hindered to a certain extent.
 +
|-
 +
| [[Gladiator Beasts]] || - || [[Prohibition]] || Call [[Bestiari]] and they won't be able to destroy S/T cards at all since it stops both [[Bestiari]] and [[Gyzarus]], however it can be bypassed by cards like [[Dust Tornado]].
 +
|-
 +
| [[Gladiator Beasts]] || - || [[Jowls of Dark Demise]] || Let the Opponent attack into this monster, Triggering its Effect. Take control of the GB so they can't 'Tag-out'. This works even better if you have a GB in your own deck. That way, you can return your Opponent's GB that attacked to their deck to Summon your GB from your Deck. This strategy is used in a Mirror Match, but it works as a side strategy like this as well.
 +
|-
 +
| [[Gladiator Beasts]] || - || [[Rafflesia Seduction]] || Let the Opponent attack into this monster, Triggering its Effect. Take control of the GB so they can't 'Tag-out'.

This strategy is used in a Mirror Match, but it works as a side strategy like this as well.
 +
|-
 +
| [[Gladiator Beasts]] || - || [[Gladiator Taming]] || Similar to [[Jowls of Dark Demise]] and [[Rafflesia Seduction]] (mentioned above), this card not only lets you take your opponent's GB for free (and then allowing you to tag with it if you have your own GBs), it also has an effect to change battle positions. This will stop an opposing GB's attack, preventing it from tagging out. You can also use the Gladiator Beast for a Synchro Summon or an Exceed Summon.
 +
|-
 +
| [[Gladiator Beasts]] || - || [[Nobleman of Extermination]] || Hopefully you hit [[Gladiator Beast War Chariot|Chariot]]. Generally, after they add it with Equeste, they set it right away, so you know where it is.

It prevents cards from being sent to the Graveyard for a cost, so Herald's effect can't be activated, allowing you to destroy Herald by following it up with a card like [[Smashing Ground]].
 +
|-
 +
| [[Heralds]] || - || [[Prohibition]] || There are quite a few Herald decks that don't even main [[MST]], so if you can call Herald before it comes out, they don't have much to play with afterwards.

 +
|-

 +
|-
 +
| [[Heralds]] || - || [[Divine Wrath]] || If you couldn't stop it before-hand, then use this, as it can't stop Spell Speed 3 cards.
 +
|-
 +
| [[Heralds]] || - || [[Volcanic Queen]] || Alternatively, you could just use these to take Herald of Perfection out. However, this can only be done if their [[Archlord Kristya]] isn't out yet.

 +
|-
 +
| [[Infernity]] || > || [[Big Burn]] || Can be chained to Necromancer, Launcher, Mirage, or Hundred-Eye's effect. Unless they draw Tour Guide, they won't be able to do anything, and even then they're pretty much through because they have to rely on topdecking.

 +
|-
 +
| [[City Deck|Miracle Gemini]] || - || [[Anti-Magic Prism]] || Bait for [[Gemini Spark]], [[Book of Moon]] and [[Mystical Space Typhoon]]. If it is the Beatdown variant, it can also be used against [[Forbidden Chalice]].
 +
|-
 +

Steelswarm is actually pretty good, and if added, [[Blackwing - Jin the Rain Shadow]] is an side card (Catastor against them). If I'm not mistaken, [[Des Donut]] hurts them as well. [[Infestation Wave]] actually hurts them as you can return their monster to their hand and destroy their card.

:I like the idea, it could be useful to build a quick base to a side deck, which can then be slightly adjusted, depending on local meta and such. Cards like gozen match for example, hits not only wind-ups and rabbit, but can hit decks in lower tiers likely to be seen in local 'meta', such as GBs and Six-sams. Obviously if your local meta is straight dark worlds and insectors say, then you can customize the base to suit you (i.e. shadow-imprisoning etc) [[User:Chewbacca The Drummer|Chewbacca The Drummer]] ([[User talk:Chewbacca The Drummer|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Chewbacca The Drummer|contribs]]) 17:37, August 5, 2012 (UTC)

==Tier Divisions==
 
I do not think the divisions on the [[Yu-Gi-Oh!_Tier_List|Tier List]] page should be applied to this page until the creators of that page come to a formal definition of what constitutes a "Tier".

==Suggestion==
 
I've noticed several side deck suggestions are designed to counter strategies that are now rendered obsolete due to said strategy being shut down by the banlist. For example, some cards suggested against Wind-Ups are brought up with the now-defunct Hunter loop in mind. I'm pretty sure the same will apply to several other tournament decks which were forced to change their playstyle after certain banlists are implemented. Should we remove suggestions that no longer apply? --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] ([[User talk:Gadjiltron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gadjiltron|contribs]]) 04:54, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
 
:Absolutely. Also, I am dismayed to find that someone added "Tier" divisions to the list, again. Which is funny because some of these Decks don't even operate outside the OCG. Maybe I can understand why they seem official since we have a page about them, but there's no reason to have the Tier divisions if we include stuff that's common in the OCG but not here. Particularly amusing is "[[Madolche]]" in the "Tier 2" box when '''it's not even on the list'''. Can we get rid of them too? (And add some sides for Madolche, I guess.)

== Dragon Rulers ==
 
 
I really think you should add some good cards to side in against the new Dragon Ruler Archetype. Cards that come to mind are Gozen Match and Mind Drain. [[Special:Contributions/24.8.106.176|24.8.106.176]] ([[User talk:24.8.106.176|talk]]) 23:39, June 6, 2013 (UTC)

I don't really know if I'm doing this right and if not Im sorry. But a few good cards that I have found to work against them would be (for example)
 
'''Effect Monsters:'''
 
Battle Fader: Free no battle phase on direct attack and useable with backrow unlike gorz
 
Trifortressops: 2800 ('''''starting''''') defense means no killing it with blasterfor a turn
 
Swift Scarecrow: Usable with Macro/D Fiss on the field as it doesn't say "to the grave"
 
Grand Mole: Bounce back drago sac as it doesnt destroy (**vunerable to d prison/other battle traps though)
 
Veiler +Maxx c: Assuming no macro Veiler either A. Stops big eye, B. Stops Dragosac from making tokens. Either one is a good thing
 
Droll & Lock Bird: Prevents adding other dragons AND super Rejuv ((I think [http://www.pojo.biz/board/showthread.php?t=1130887] ?))
 
(when it comes out JOTL ((Same as key beetle)) Flying "c" :When your opponnent special summons a monster summon this to their field. They can not xyz (but it is an earth lv 1 so they could still do some synchro shenanigans with it)
 
(Maybe) Cyber dragon + Chimeratech (at the minimum it would have 3 k attack from the cy dra, dragosac, and 1 token (assuming they poped with it. If not then you got a 4 k chim, that even if warned they 1. Lost drago and tokens and 2. Wasted their only solemn (judg/warn) **CAUTION** do not rely on this because it ''will '''NOT''''' work with macro on the field as chimera says grave specifically
 
 
'''Synchro Monsters'''
 
Crimson Blader: Kill token, eff goes off, ???, Proffit
 
 
'''Magic''' (Uhh, I havent really seen any that could work but maybe):
 
Messenger of peace: Either A. Makes them force a pop, B. Force them to use a lance to attack (IF they even run it. Which is doubtful). And if A. Then you just saved your other back row or monsters (granted to be popped by other monsters but still)
 
System Down: Only useful for dragosac as it doesnt destroy so it bypasses his natural token protection
 
One day of Peace: Gives you a turn to stall and take no damage but gives them a card too
 
Forbidden Dress: Universal destruction protection but attack lose is a pain (mostly to ophion)
 
 
'''Trap'''
 
Gozen Match/Rivalry: Both do the same thing essentially but both for different things. Gozen is more of a hard hitter as it prevents them from going into the double dragon instant xyz plays, but it could allow crimson blader in one VERY specific circumstance (Blaster + Flamvel Guard)
 
SUmmon Limit: Stops them from either 1. Getting the instant xyz or 2. Summoning the tokens (depending if they ''somehow'' '''Bold text'''had a lv 7 already on field)
 
Imperial Iron Wall: Just stops banishing. Brilliant

my opinion is
 
for against evilswarm, if u are synchro based deck, u can use [[Number 30: Acid Golem of Destruction]] or [[Gem-Knight Pearl]] for a start. if your deck spell & trap are  mostly destroy/ targeting  opponents monster type ( not monster destroyer like Dark armed dragon ), try to change swap cards like mirror force to increase attack power like [[Horn of the Phantom Beast]] ( refer to your deck ). this was based on assuming that evilswarm users are ophion 1 turn lover and relied too much on their immunity [[Infestation Pandemic]]. easy win is to use cards like [[Meklord Army of Granel]] or grandmole. too lazy ? why don't use [[Flying "C"]] ?
 
 
not much to say about dragons lord from me. gozen match, using compulsory, maxx c, [[Chimeratech Fortress Dragon]] ( drago-sack and it's token are machine ).
 
 
can't say anything about spellbook cuz the one i fough before in real life is one without using extra deck ( and i don't know which style is the top tier or very strong ) [[User:Gemini 93|Gemini 93]] ([[User talk:Gemini 93|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gemini 93|contribs]]) 14:26, July 1, 2013 (UTC)
