[Star] Card of the Month #7

"When an opponent's monster that was Normal or Special Summoned this turn declares an attack: Destroy that attacking monster, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to half of the original ATK of that monster."

This card can be seen as somewhat slow since it must react to your opponent attacking instead of summoning. It's somewhat a variant of 'Traptrix Traphole Nightmare' where instead of activating in response to their effect, you activate in response to their attack. This fits well with any deck that naturally runs Myrmeleo or runs a lot of backrow. As said previously, it can be seen as slow if your opponent does not intend to attack the same turn they summon a monster although with most of the modern decks taking on an offensive playstyle and inflicting burn damage almost redeem its flaws. The only flaw it can't redeem is that it only destroys 1 monster at a time. It's not a huge loss from a control stance although if your opponent is trying to push for game with an OTK, this card might not help you a superb amount unless your opponent's LPs are low. Besides that scenario, it's great for disrupting your opponent.

Wouldn't Blazing Mirror Force be a better option for board clearer?

This is searchable though. Not only by Myrm, but also by Rafflesia. Blazing Mirror doesn't really have any searchers (well not any relevant ones anyway.)

I was thinking about this Month by putting a Mirror Force card although the last COTM was regular Mirror Force and I didn't want to put 2 Mirror Force cards back to back.

Fair enough but tbf i personally think Endless Trap Hole has a greater disruptive power, but since its TCG it would be too soon for this month ^^'

[Kiernan]

I think the next card should be a spell/monster though. Don't want to give all the love to traps.

hmm, i agree with tweek tho and maybe some meta cards? But the trap is great after all
