Welcome back to our Introduction to Goat Format Power Cards series, in which we breakdown the basics behind how to best use (and counter) key power cards in Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Goat Format. Our last entry in the series covered Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, Morphing Jar, Heavy Storm, Snatch Steal, Mirror Force, and Torrential Tribute. This time we will be going over Tribe-Infecting Virus, Sinister Serpent, Graceful Charity, Delinquent Duo, and Ring of Destruction. We will analyze other power cards in the next installment of the series.

Just sending out another reminder that our $100 Freeroll is this Saturday, June 15,  at 1 PM EST. All of the tournament details can be found in our previous post here:

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, the sidedeck is traditionally used as a toolbox to help win specific matchups. Usually when you sidedeck, you will side in 2-6 cards and side out cards that do not work well for the matchup while not affecting your core strategy. 

On the other hand, with transition sidedecking, you side in all fifteen cards from your sidedeck for fifteen core strategy cards from your main deck. This is fundamentally different from traditional sidedecking tactics, and it has its own risks and benefits.
