"If a frequent matchup is tough for you, you should probably Side 4-5 cards to help you beat that Deck."
The reasoning behind that statement is that you should side as many cards as possible to help against bad match-ups, but because you normally can't side out too many cards, you should stick to that range (4-5). Seems logical enough.
The strange thing is that I usually side at least 8 cards against tough match-ups. Against good match-ups, I usually side in 5. Not only that, I Main Deck a bunch of anti-meta stuff already, like Rai-Oh and Divine Wrath. I guess that I don't feel lucky enough to draw one of the 4-5 cards I side in when I need to.
Is the number of cards they recommend to side the reason behind how people can side cards for a specific match-up only (e.g. Mask of Restrict for Frogs)? Is it also the reason why people don't have to use cards for a wide variety of match-ups, such as Divine Wrath for many decks as opposed to Swallow Flip just for Gladiator Beasts and Infernities?
It seems like something to try out, though I still think that siding just 5 cards in such a fast-paced format might not be enough. If you don't draw a card that stops OTK's, you could be dead before you get the chance to.
So, is it worth most of your Side Deck to play a bunch of anti-OTK cards, or would you rather just side a few cards depending on the match-up?
