Any 15 Cards for the Extra Deck will do

Deck Explanation

Despite the number of hits it got, especially with Floowandereeze & Empen being Limited now, the core gameplay of chaining Normal Summons one after another has not changed much. This Deck can arguably go first or second without much problem, but going first allows a Floowandereeze player to set up traps and punishes against the opponent's actions.

Tenyi Swordsoul

Main Deck: 40 cards
x3	x3	x3	x2	x2
x2	x2	x2	x2	x2
x1	x1	x1	x1	x3
x2	x2	x2	x1	x1
x1	x1	-	-	-
Extra Deck: 15 cards
x2	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x2	x1	-	-

Deck Explanation

While Tenyi Swordsoul can go first, it is equally as strong going second because of its ability to play go through hand traps and interruptions. The Tenyi provide ways to remove cards that can interrupt, and the Swordsoul archetype can provide quite a number of ways to Synchro Summon powerful monsters easily.

Naturia Runick

Main Deck: 40 cards
x3	x3	x2	x2	x1
x3	x3	x3	x2	x2
x2	x2	x1	x1	x1
x1	x3	x3	-	-
Extra Deck: 15 cards
x2	x2	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	-	-

Deck Explanation

Naturia Runick can go first or second, but its Quick-Play Spells are far more punishing if the opponent has any presence on the field, but no negates to protect them. Its consistency may have suffered from various hits in the Banlist, but its recursion to shuffle Runick Cards, alongside Naturia's ability to Synchro Summon debilitating monsters, remains strong.

Ancient Warriors

Main Deck: 40 cards
x3	x3	x3	x3	x2
x2	x2	x2	x2	x1
x1	x1	x3	x3	x3
x2	x1	x1	-	-
Extra Deck: 15 cards
x2	x1	x1	x1	x1
x3	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	-	-	-

Deck Explanation

Ancient Warriors are highly underrated, but are one of the better Decks and archetypes that can go second. They can take advantage of the opponent having monsters on the field, and then can use the Extra Deck as optional power boosts to their powers on the field.

Numeron

Main Deck: 40 cards
x3	x3	x3	x3	x2
x2	x3	x3	x3	x3
x3	x2	x2	x2	x1
x2	-	-	-	-
Extra Deck: 15 cards
x2	x2	x2	x2	x2
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1

Deck Explanation

The quintesential counter Deck that loves going second, Numeron Decks will take advantage of the opponent's presence on the field. As soon as they cheat out the Numeron Xyz monsters, there is always a chance for this Deck to commit to its OTK strategy.
