Staples

Dear Wikiers,
In my very first submission, I will be talking about staples. Staples are key in early deck building, because they set a good foundation for decks that are not yet complete. Staples are cards that work well in almost any deck.

Staples can be any kind of card. Certain spells and traps work good in different ways. Most trap staples defend against attack from the opponent, such as Mirror Force, Bottomles Trap Hole, and Scrap Iron Scarcrow. Mystical Space Typhoon is a very common card that can help, but in a complete deck, you should use only a small amount.

A complete deck should not rely on staples too much, rather save space for decks that have unique spell and trap cards e.g. Rekindling.

Synchro Staples
Certain Synchros mostly can be used in just one deck, because they require a specific tuner or type of tuner, but lots of Sychros can be summoned by any tuner. These are the Staple Synchros. It is good to have a variety of them, each one to use for a different situation. You should have many levels of Staple Synhcros, so you do not have to compromise for a certain level. Although lots of synchros are not selectively tuned, their ability only works in one deck and should not be use as a staple (unless they have another ability that is neutral)

Certain synchro staples can be used better in some decks than others, because it is easier to tune for that level, or because its ability (like piercing or bouncing). It may be neccecary to use multiple copies of these cards in your extra deck.

''' You should mostly use Staple Synchros that match your deck's strategy or are easy to summon. '''

All of these monsters can be used in any deck, but if you have a deck that works well with their abilty, do not hesitate to put them in. Colossal Fighter for example, is a great staple for decks that use warriors, and because of its sheer attack power, plus its ressurection. Colossal fighter is a good stap[le for any deck that uses large amounts of warriors, or assalt mode activate.
