Side decking and deck balance
Okay. One important element of this metagame is adapting to changes. For instance, normally, a Macro deck COMPLETELY counters Zombies. So how would Zombies side into Macro?
1) Side in Call of the Mummy over Book of Life
2) Side in Jinzo (s) over DaD)
3) Side in Breaker, Snipe Hunter
4) Side in MONARCHS, and D.D. Survivor, so you yourself can take advantage of the Macro.
Let's take another example. I run a Maus deck, that's slow, but when i get the right stuff out, is night unstoppable. Try facing a Horus lock and trying to take out Ancient Gear Golems at the same time.. not fun. However, this deck is SLOW. If i can't get out my monsters, i'm screwed. So how would i side into... Zombies?
1)MACRO!
2)D.D. Survivors!
3)D. Fissure (s)
4) Staples
5)Take out M. Reborns.
As you can see, one everpresent theme in our metagame is Macro. Macro counters all decks that rely on the Graveyard. So, here's what they counter...
1) Most forms of searching (Sangan, Mystic Tomato, Shining Angel)
2) Cyber decks
3) Dark decks
4) Zombies
5) Prisma
6) Neos
7) D. Magician
BEWD
9) All Dragon decks..
And the list goes on. Macro decks are a supreme counter, and have incredibly good matchups in the metagame now. Yay, everybody start running Macro now (joking).
I hope you all can learn from this..feel free to post comments/questions.
