Against Infernities: What to Side

So with the coming and going of YCS Chicago, and with the coverage, I would like to reflect upon what would be the ideal side deck when going against a particular matchup.

In this post, I would like to go over what would be the most effective method against Infernities.

Ideally, most, if not all people, have realized Infernities dependance on the graveyard.

As a result, this cards were the first to come up in most people's lists for their side deck.

D.D. Crow

A natural pick, being able to be activated from the hand during either player's turn. As well, it's easily mained without disrupting your main strategy.

Crevice into the Different Dimension

A more specific designed card , with a few more applications outside of Crow. Able to strip two cards out of the graveyard, this card is effective against Infernities as well. However, it's a Trap card, meaning it has to be set one turn prior unfortunately.

Thunder King Rai-oh

One of the more effective choices against Infernities. Being unable to search out Infernity Launcher by Infernity Archfiend's effect, this card is rather effective as their main win condition is now locked. As well, it's 1900 Atk works for beating over most of the Infernity monster line-up, short of Infernity Necromancer.

Doomcaliber Knight

Similar to Rai-oh, it's ability to negate monster effects is key. Unfortunately, DCK can be tricked into activating its mandatory negation effect by other cards, which is rather unfortunate.

Consecrated Light

For some reason, this appears to be the most effective of all Infernity hate cards. An Infernity player just has absolutely no out to Consecrated Light once it appears. As well, should Light be turned facedown thanks to Book of Moon, there's no doubt that there will be other outs to the Infernity deck's combos.

As such, with these five possible choices for your side deck, there are a lot of options to choose to counter the Infernity matchup.

Tomorrow, I'll be discussing the options an Infernity player can use in order to counter side against these choices.
