The Perfect Side pt.2

Welcome back. Today I'll continue going over side decks for certain decks. Lets look at Zombies and Blackwings.

Zombie decks are a conservative deck that goes nuts once it has all the pieces in store for the OTK. Heavily focusing on searching cards from the deck and recovering cards from the grave makes Zombie decks easy to side against. Kycoos, Banishers, D-Fissures, and Thunderkings tear this deck apart. Here's what a standard Zombie decks side should look like.

3x Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer
2x Dust Tornado
2x Legendary Jujitsu Master
2x Royal Oppression (If not main decked)
2x Traphole
2x D.D. Crow
1x Malevolent Catastrophe
1x Lightning Vortex

The Kycoos protect the ever important Zombie graveyard and decimates Lightsworn and other Zombie decks graveyards. The Dust Tornado's deal with the annoying War Chariots and anything else your opponent is attempting to hit you with. JuJu counters anti meta decks and forces Gladiators to wait until they have an answer to it. Royal Oppression stomps Lightsworn and Glads while controlling the mirror match. The Trapholes are brought in against Blackwings and GB's who are very reliant on their normal summoning. D.D. Crows deal with Necro Gardnas, Plaguespreaders, and anything else in the grave. Malevolent Catastrophe is brought in against anti meta decks, Blackwings, and GB match ups because both decks rely on heavy back row support. The Vortex controls the size of the opponents field and helps deal with problems your monsters cant handle.

Blackwings are straight beasts. Winged Beasts to be more specific. It can deal damage real fast and is very flexible when it comes to synchro summoning. It can focus on swarming the field with the help of Whirlwind or it can be controlling with Icarus Attack. Blackwings are the most flexible side deck users since most of the cards sided don't hurt the Blackwings at all. Blackwings only weakness is decks that are faster and hit harder than they do. Here's what I think the perfect side for Blackwings is.

3x Light Imprisoning Mirror
2x Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer
2x Skill Drain
2x Royal Oppression
2x Delta Crow-Anti Reverse
2x Trap Hole
2x Tragoedia

Blackwings were able to handle Lightsworns before Gale was limited. Now Lightsworns are able to out speed Blackwings. Light Imprisoning Mirror, Oppressions and Kycoos are sided in against them to help slow them down while dealing with their graveyard (Skill Drains work too as they stop the continuous effects of Aurkus and Jain, 2 cards Light Imprisoning mirror cant stop). Kycoos, Oppressions and Trap Holes help deal with the Zombie threats while Skill Drain, Royal Oppression, and Trap Hole deal with the Glad deck. Delta Crows help deal with anti meta decks and decks that set too much back row. The Tragoedia's are brought in during the Mirror Match. Stealing monsters that work with your deck is always nice and not to mention Whirlwind adds card to the hand increasing Tragoedia's attack.

Well that's all for right now.
