Why use a side deck?
To counter the metagame (what your oppoent(s) play).

What sould be in a side deck?
Cards that are effective against the metagame

For example, the commom meta is laced with chaos, warriors, zombies and gravekeepers.

Total (15)
Monsters ()
Kycoo x2 * effect stops chaos from removing monsters *
Kinetic Soldier x3 * gains 2000 attack against warriors *


Spells ()
Soul Release x3 * remove monsters before chaos can *
Chain Energy x3 * charge gravekeepers and warriors for swarming *
Necrovalley x2 * stop zombies from regenerating *


Traps ()
Gravity Bind x2 * hold back warriors attacks *

I might run LLAB over G. Bind, just cuz there's less spell negation out there and switching them to defense is even better than plain old attack blocking.

yah, same here, LLAB is far better then G-Bind in most aspects.
Maybe you could side deck Toll too, coist them for trying to attack.

i do agree that LLAB might be better, b/c its not Jinzo-negated, but that can hurt ur deck too.

and when side-decking, u have to be careful to not cripple ur deck...

the advantage that G-Bind has over LLAB is that it can be sprung for a suprise, which is one of the advantages of the side deck.

That's true. However, MST will kill Gravity Bind just as well if it's sprung by surprise as it would kill a Level Limit.

When I say that LLAB is better than G. Bind? Simple:

*Monsters go to def position, which could buy you an extra turn at times (aka, your opponent summons Mobius)
*Can't be negated by Jinzo

i believe u meant ie, not aka, and Force is under the same restricions, so is LLAB better than Force??

We both know the answer to that question is no, and the fact that both can be MSTed just as effectively isn't my main argument -- it's just the reason why your point about the surprise factor isn't terribly valid. Mirror Force is better than LLAB because it destroys, not just stalls.

but on the contrary, is MF always better than LLAB?? no. LLAB is more effective in a burn deck, or to counter a warrior deck, than MF is b/c it can protect u for multiple turns, where as MF can protect u for 1. but to get back to the main arguement, both LLAB and GB are good cards, and should see about the same amount of play.

Mirror Force, just saving you for one turn? To the contrary -- Mirror Force can completely turn the duel around. It will typically destroy 2-3 monsters, which most likely took your opponent 2-3 turns to build up.

2 to 3 monsters?? if ur lucky. MF usually kills 1 or 2. monsters don't stay on the feild long enough for MF to be considered that godly

Ok, back on topic here. Both LLAB and G-Bind serve there purpose. They are both really good. Just have them both out at the same time and you should be fine for a while.
