Well I don't know anything about Nordic decks yet, since I haven't been able to check up on them yet. Although in your side deck I see some odd choices and that may have something to do with you not having the "obvious" cards.

To counter Six Samurais:

-Kinetic Soldier
-Puppet Plant
-Royal Oppression
-Skill Drain
-Solemn Warning
-Trap Hole ( stop their normal summons ans they cannot go off )
- Compulsory Evacuation Device

As for Glads:

- Swallow Flip ( also for some other decks but mainly Glads )
- Royal Oppression
- T. Roar ( you have it in main )
- Corridor of Agony ( but I personally prefer Swallow Flip, especially now that Cold is banned )

As for Fables:

- Light imprisoning Mirror, is indeed a card that would stop them but I dislike using it myself.
- Royal Oppression

So to make a side deck, not just focus on decks you hate or cannot play against but look for cards that can be splashed in versus numerious decks so that you have more chances of winning in the end.

Hope this helped a bit.

Thanks alot of the side deck advice, i really really like Morphing Jar #2 cause it works so well in this deck, cause like if i have swords out and some tokens and they got a full field
i can just get afew monsters for free like another hamster or tanngrisnir and they have to mill like 12 cards XD

[malacaii]

i think a couple cards that will do mained are
2 Chaos Sorcerer
2 effect veiler
2 pot of duality (extra speed)

i don't know if all the stall is the best way to go.

[Vulker]

i never liked the idea of chaos sorc in this deck cause i just dont wanna get rid of my vanadis's and effect veiler might be a side deck, for pot those would probley be a problem to get by YCS solemns i just have friend who owes me one and a second could be tradable for

[malacaii]

yea the plus side to chaos is the removal of unwanted synchros. As for effect veilers they work pretty nice.

have you tested the deck at all?

[Vulker]

ive only tested again fables and six sams, i beat six sams on average 50/50 cause of Morphing Jar #2's, i cant be fables at all cause they swarm to much with too many backrow support, but i need to get 2 more light imprisoning mirrors, then fables dont stand a chance. im ganna run this deck tomorrow with only 1 Spirit Reaper at my locals and ill post my results.

Additional Comment:

i did some edits, i added some monsters that apperantly seem to fit into this deck, the idea of Chaos Sorcerer is starting to appeal more to me

[malacaii]

personal preference
-2 ryko i always seem to mill bad
+2 effect veiler (in testing this has done wonders for me)

[blkguyintrash]

You cant even revive loki.. so why use it?

[malacaii]

other things to ponder:

forbidden lance (nice cover)
Call Of The Haunted always felt weird in this deck.
caius ive always been 50/50 on
avarice in two could be bad draws
swords prolly not needed in here either
could cut Mind Control

i dunno some thoughts

I put in () and said that i dont use loki i just pulled one and threw it into my extra deck.

Ya i never really liked the idea of caius's or rykos myself either i just thought the could probley do better then more traps but i think i will do most my testing without em,

Avarice ill probley keep at one

I kinda like the idea of mindcontroll cause it could be an easy synchro with guldfaxe

i will definitely get effect veilers tonight at locals, ill probley side em tonight and ill main test em throughout the tourny when its not tourny games.

Call Of The Haunted has been giving bad luck but its fun with Sangan,

And i just never liked the idea of lance that much, but i ever get some ill test em
