Here we have the worst card in the entire set. There
has not been a burn deck played for at least 3 years
that has been mildly successful. We have a Counter
Trap that activates when an opponent activates a
trap that inflicts damage. You negate the activation
of the card and destroy it and all other face-up
spell or trap cards your opponent controls.
This is only useful against a Burn deck, so there is
no reason to play it as there are no really great
burn cards to play, as they would just get
integrated into mainstream decks for a quicker win.
This card actually does what it does well, but what
it does is so limited and not really useful that it
just is of no use to anyone right now.

Uhh, lol. The chance of this ever happening is
verrrry low. Even if they play a burn trap, they
most likely won't have a bunch of faceup Spells and
Traps. Even if they do, I'm sure they'll have
something like Bribe or Solemn backing them, so it
was pointless. This is a waste of a card really.

Shining Silver Force …
If u expect to be playing against a Burn deck, then
this card would definitely rock house. So I
absolutely endorse siding a couple of these, just to
hurt the feelings of anyone thinking they’re gonna
“surprise” u at a tournament by winning with Burn.
Don’t get me wrong – Winning using something outside
of the meta is cute. But being prepared to wipe the
floor with someone’s “originality” is even cuter.
Take your pick. But make sure to smile either way.
Oh, but don’t u dare main deck this thing.
Seriously. Don’t.
Traditional: 1.5/5
Advanced: 2/5 (it’s higher if you’re fighting Burn,
but since you won0t be …)

N o V a
Shining Silver Force,
another card we could have used back when Magical
Explosion OTK was running around and would be better
if it could stop Dark Strike Fighter, am I right?
Yeah, im right. Raging Battle has finally been
released however, making this card rather obsolete
with Spell of Pain being released in Raging Battle.
They both have their differences and if you happen
to be facing a Blackwing deck or an Alien Deck, this
card can somewhat hurt them, as Blackwings often use
Black Whirlwind and Aliens often use multiple
face-up Spell and Trap cards to abuse Cosmic
Fortress Gol'Gar, as well as using cards like
Detonator Circle "A" which inflicts damage and is a
Trap card.
Not much else to this card, better options now with
Spell of Pain released now, it was a card we could
of used back when Explosion was a threat.

Umm... When I first heard of this card, I thought it
was for any burn damage, and it would destroy all
S/T that your opponent had. Imagine my
disappointment when I read its actual effect. This
is basically a S/T version of Mirror force. No, more
like dark mirror force, because its effect is so
situational. If I used a burn deck, I cant imagine
using more than 3 traps that inflict damage, and at
most 2 s/t face up. I can only see this in a side
deck, and would rather use some other jank card like
Lifeforce harmonizer or Hwaneta. Burn decks use more
monsters/spells to inflict damage than traps. I've
been seeing much burn hate lately, which is odd
since I think that they might do well against
blackwings, and they are definitely NOT the meta,
not even close.
Traditional-1/5 All those crazy burn FTK cards are
not traps, so sorry
Advanced-1.01/5 Burn is dead, and even if it does
come back, this will not do much against them.
Art-2.5/5 Basically a undecipherable Radiant Mirror
Force.

I'd be a massive fan of this card if it wasn't for
one little detail. That the damage inflicting card
must be a trap card :/
You know, not that long ago this would be an amazing
side deck card. Burn decks did actually run Just
Desserts and Secret Barrel on top of Ceasefire and
Magic Cylinders, therefore giving you a lot of traps
that trigger Shining Silver Force. Your chances
against burn would have suddenly jumped up, as you
punish them for simply playing their deck, blowing
away their Swords of Revealing Light, Gravity Bind
or Level Limit – Area B.
But now? Burn simply doesn't run that many damaging
traps outside of Magic Cylinder or Ceasefire. No,
you're more likely to run into Skill Drain, Royal
Oppression, Dark Bribe, anything and everything, bar
those things that actually do damage to you. Burn's
shifted somewhat, it's moved away from multiple
cards to chip away at you, and moved towards PROTECT
THE WAVE-MOTIONNNNNN!!!
There's simply very little reason for this card to
exist. Don't get me wrong, if you run into an old
school burn deck with Just Desserts and Secret
Barrel, and you happen to have a couple of these in
your side deck, they'll do the job brilliantly. But
the amount of times you'll get to use them, it's
just not worth finding space to side them.
