Frazier Smith's Side Decking 101 - YGO Edison Format

[@jeffdanielson4146]

This will be a good watch! I personally would greatly appreciate a detailed side deck cards discussion video where you go through each of the popular side deck cards and talk about their strenghs, weaknesses and in what decks/vs which decks you should side them in. You could even go a little further and discuss good counters for said cards, for example when you expect the opponent on blackwing to side in DDV against your frog deck you might say that sirocco or is a good counterside to beat bws and their potential DDV as sirocco is good in either scenario, which is something Froghnach did in his recent 3rd place finish at RBET 1 with frog burn.

That's what I like to hear! Thank you

[@IkariXIV]

Would absolutely love to hear a deck by deck analysis of side decking. Your insight is always enlightening and this is something I struggle with a lot.

[@imnerdpodcast]

Thank you. I will probably need to break it up into several videos but it's doable.

[@pahlvi19]

@@imnerdpodcast no doubt would love to a video like that or maybe like discuss 10 at a time

[@destinydoom]

22:20 I'll be interested in a video like that for every deck. Thanks for the informative video. Keep up the good work

[@imnerdpodcast]

Thank you!

Most people would benefit from a few videos that included… 1. You picking various meta decks 2. Your reasoning for the 15 cards in the side (matchups, going 1st vs 2nd, etc) 3. Your process for siding in & out cards in each deck 4. Maybe like 5 additional cards that you would side if you had 20 slots 5. A few cards that seem good to side but actually are not & why 6. The toughest/easiest matchups for the decks you select to profile It would make a great starting point for a lot of newer Edison players. Learning how to side correctly for your deck is a major point in elevating your play.

[@MetaGamesGX]

very interested in a video eventually where you go one by one on side deck cards!

[@imnerdpodcast]

It’s definitely happening, don’t worry!

[@danglennon5642]

You could do a series of videos breaking down individual cards/decks/matchups or however you want to format it.

[@imnerdpodcast]

Yep, I mentioned that idea - just gotta see if enough people are interested.

[@danglennon5642]

@@imnerdpodcast this was the most useful sidedecking video I've watched. And that's for both MTG and YGO. So you got one person interested.

[@imaturtle3938]

Really appreciate the insight! Awesome content. Subbed :)

[@imnerdpodcast]

Thanks for the sub!

7:30 I love the irony of this lol, "there are *no absolutes in yugioh, there are asterisks for everything" * Elemental Hero Absolute Zero

[@imnerdpodcast]

He would like to have a word with me lol

[@ArroganceClause]

Can you get Jeff Jones on the pod? Also would love to see him make a return to Edison Format!

[@imnerdpodcast]

I think if there’s any Yu-Gi-Oh player who’s probably done with Edison format it’d be Jeff lol

[@Edisonclub2010]

Great video! I enjoyed this a lot.

[@imnerdpodcast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mrcalvinelm]

Back when edison the time wizard format was the cutting edge of advanced; at the LGS, performed many an experiment with some rather niche sideboard options; mirror of oaths, wasn't one of em, but funnily enough, I'll never forget it as it singlehandedly turned my golden opening hand of ROTA, DAD, + D.Draw into dust. Mirror of oaths on D. Hero Malicious was devastatingly crippling.

[@abyssmegachill]

I can't wait for your explanation of each side card. It would help me so much

[@imnerdpodcast]

I’ll be working on it in the coming days 😁

[@Josephhof]

Why not have another in depth video on the side cards ;) do it !

[@imnerdpodcast]

why not!

[@ericmauricio498]

Thank you for following up on my comment about side decking a few weeks back means a lot ❤

[@imnerdpodcast]

No problem 🖤

[@thegetbacker]

Really great source of information

[@imnerdpodcast]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kylemccarron1817]

Breaking down the process for side decking in the S-tier decks would be cool to see. That'd help folks playing those decks and people playing against them. I appreciate your insight!

[@KittenFeather]

Oh shit this was exactly what I needed to listen to

[@imnerdpodcast]

Enjoy!

[@nara808]

Good to hear this!

[@imnerdpodcast]

Thank you!

[@ZackeroniAndCheese]

When is Mask of Restrict worth siding? I've never seen it used even though I see it in some fairy side decks

[@imnerdpodcast]

it's strong vs frog monarchs, especially considering most don't side twister anymore.
