How does one counter a deck without playing specific cards for it? Do you have decks set up to fight certain archtypes? Like you know what an archtype does but that doesn't necessarily help you that much, other than maybe knowing what the boss monster is. Doesn't everyone use "the beat it till its dead" mentality? I mean isn't your deck's objective the same regardless of your opponents. Question is up for anyone btw. :D

Not completely true. If you know what your opponent can do, you make slight shifts in your strategy to accomodate for it.

I'm going to swarm the field with easy to get out monsters against Pengu soldier, but like hell I'm going to try it on a mass removal deck. I'd rather just get out my beatsticks ASAP.
