Extra Deck Size ( My Opinion )


Recommended Posts

As you all know, the extra deck size is 15, meaning you can only have 15 cards in your extra deck at a max. This hasn't been as much of a problem in the past, given that all the extra deck choices you can use, Synchro, Fusion, Xyz, and Pendulum, for all of these card typings, you are not required to run any of the other in order to play them. For example, say you're playing a synchro deck, like yang zings. If you run mostly Synchro monsters, you don't have to run Xyz monsters in order to use those Synchro monsters in the most effective way. Given the new mechanics though, it changes this kind of interaction. Link monsters are pretty much required for decks that focus mostly on the extra deck. Now strategies that already have very tight extra deck spaces have a hard time finding space for the link monsters that they need, as well as having the right proportions of the required extra deck monsters in order to keep your original strategy. This doesn't effect Link spam decks naturally, but it effects most other decks. I personally think they should expand the size limit to 18-20 cards in order to help extra deck focused decks more effectively use links together with their original cards that they use for their regular strategy. This is just my opinion though, it would be cool to hear your guys's opinions on the matter, if it should or not.

The problem with expanding the Extra Deck now is that Link decks would still benefit the most from it. And even if we, say, make it 15 max of any type wit 20 total, link decks still get a huge boon, since you can put in 5 synchros to use with Needlefiber, if you're using it. Or Xyz to sheet out, if you can, as bonuses.

Any Extra Deck bonus is going to help Links, as said above. I can't really think of any Deck other than Synchro Spam that was hard-pressed for space, at least hard-pressed enough to make Links unable to be placed in; even Pure Yang Zings methinks still had room for techy Xyzs, and perhaps Link monsters will come to take over them as techs.

 

I don't think 5 cards will make that much of a difference in Synchro Spam, anyway. It will be helpful in ED decks, true, but Links don't need to worry about that. Look at Troymare, or any other Link vomiting archetype such as World Chalice. I regularly play that, and let me tell you 5 cards more in the Extra Deck would give me so much more room to counter my opponent with. All we can hope for is Links that focus on said Extra Deck monsters, and provide bonuses for them.

 

tl;dr this would buff everything
