Light-Imprisoning Mirror
 
Part two of the long-overdue Imprisoning Mirrors reviews.  Most of the points I made for Shadow (SIM) apply just as much here.  With the Light mirror, you use it to stop three relevant decks: Satellarknight, Lightsworns and Bujins.  Other rogue decks that are heavy on LIGHT monsters can get hit with this too.  Even decks like Burning Abyss and Shaddolls use LIGHTs, so it could work against them (as a lesser to SIM) as well.
 
One weakness these Mirrors have since the good ol days is a weakness to non-LIGHT XYZ monsters like Castel (Satellars can still bring him out).  Good news is that Exciton is a LIGHT monster so you don't have to worry about him.  And I'd rather deal with Castel than the good old says of Heavy Storm.
 
But let's make one thing clear.  Even if you're only able to negate one effect before LIM is destroyed by your opponent, it still becomes an Effect Veiler at worst (or a 1-for-1 if the opponent used a card like MST).  As long as its out on the field it will cripples lots of decks.  It might ruin them from the inside out for 4-5+ turns, or it might smack them for a turn or two, but either way, like its darker Shadow counter part, its really good stuff.

Look, the exact opposite card of yesterday...As you might expect by the name, Light-Imprisoning Mirror literally has the exact same effects as yesterdays card, but for Light Monsters, as opposed to Dark.  I'd give an edge to this one just because you're more likely to get better use out of this, as it will stop and counter more played things in the environment than yesterday.  Can't say much else about such a similar card.

Traditional:  Also, like yesterday, since it can negate Black Luster Soldier, it might be better in Traditional.  4/5
Advanced:   4/5
Art:  4/5  Looks cooler than yesterday 

Light-Imprisoning Mirror

Yesterday we looked at Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror and today we look at its LIGHT counterpart, Light-Imprisoning Mirror; a continuous Trap that also first debuted in Gladiator's Assault way back in 2007.
 
This card negates the effects of all LIGHT monsters that activate on the field and the Graveyard. A simple and powerful effect, especially since LIGHT monsters are probably the second  most common monsters around. This card works against a lot of decks, Lightsworn, Buijin, Artifacts, etc and they all have effects that happen on the field or the graveyard, making this a great counter for a lot of decks. Of course, bare in mind, this does affect your monsters and this is a Continuous Trap so it has all the weakness of one of those.

Overall, if you are playing in a LIGHT heavy environment make sure you have this in your side deck.

Traditional: 3/5
Advanced: 3/5

Hello Pojo Fans,
 
Light-Imprisoning Mirror does the same things that Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror does, except it covers the LIGHT attribute monsters. Not as broad as the DARK attribute in terms of popular decks, in this current format it will hold down several of the popular ones. Artifacts, Bujins, Lightsworn, and Tellarknights are all held in check while this light mirror is on the field. Artifacts won't be Special Summoned from the grave, Tellarknights will lose their swarming ability as their effects won't activate when they hit the field, Lightsworns won't be activating their effects, nor milling, and Bujins won't be removing monsters from the grave for their effects, nor thinning their decks (Crane is still a danger though). Protect it and keep it on the field as long as you can to stop your opponent from gaining momentum if they play any of the above decks. Though it doesn't negate continuous effects, it still is amazingly useful, just like yesterdays shadowy mirror. These two should be run in at least 2's in the Side Deck until something happens on the ban list that would warrant them to not be run (LIGHT decktypes get hit hard).

Moving on to the next floodgate of the week, we have Light-Imprisoning Mirror. In short, it is Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror for light monsters, so nothing exactly original or groundbreaking here.
 
Being a Shadow-Imprisoning Clone, it is to be used in the side deck, unless your locals is overrun with Light decks or something. Prime candidates to side this against include, but are not limited to: Lightsworns, Satellarknights, Bujins, Artifacts, Shaddolls(Lightsworn variants). However, Shadow-Imprisoning is better for the sole fact that two out of the three dominating decks are DARK decks, so Light-Imprisoning doesn't cover as much ground.
 
Overall though, a solid side deck card.
