Rate the card.

They brought it back because it was sexy!:D
 
How about something new. Mirror Force is nice and all. But keep with the times man.
 
First of all, my rating system is off how useful a certain card would be when you draw it. Obviously, Heavy Storm would be useless when you have three S/T facedown, and Lightning Vortex would be useless when your opponent only has a face-down monster. So my ratings could be a bit lower because of that.

Mirror Force, what will be fresh off the forbidden list in 8 days, and about 2 1/2 hours at the time of this post. The value is now up to $25 and I'm glad I didn't trade mine away. Why did it come off the forbidden list? Here's two reasons why:

-Exodia decks (non-OTK, of course) will be on the rise (due to Graceful and Sangan off the ban list), and thus this would help those decks.
-Many people still run a great amount of S/T removal/negation (MST, Dust Tornado, Mobius, Breaker quickly come to mind). Thusly, this non-chainable Trap may not help too much.

For Traditional, mainly becuase of the non-chainable Trap part, this card gets a 9/10. About five cards in any deck could destroy it without it being activated.
 
LIghtning vortex is nonetheless closer to Dark hole and Raigeki than any other card, and you cannot deny that they banned those cards for a reason. Same for heavy storm. ON the reverse end of the spectrum, the opponent has several face down cards for HS, or they have several face up monsters. LV and HS aren't designed to press an advantage. They're designed to give you the advantage.
 
Mirror Force use to be a staple in most decks. i feel that it is used with Control or Burn as I use it in my Burn deck for some reason. It has a devistating effect and I like it
9/10. But I wish it was seen more.
 
Mirror Force, even considering how unchainable it is, is one of the best usable trap cards out there. I'm SO glad I didn't get rid of mine. It can save you in a tight spot AND turn the tables just enough to give you the win, OR it can ruin the game for you if you're on the wrong side of it. I'm happy it's back. 9.99/10 for it, simply because it isn't instantly usable.

Oh, and Exodia decks may have Graceful Charity and Sangan back, but they lost somehting that, in my opinion, is much more important and game-breaking--Painful Choice. The Painful-Soldier combo that so many Exodia decks use is gone now...
 
If you think hard enough, then you can see that it was broken. In fact that's a good card to do the CoTW on.

New card.

Painful Choice
Magic Card
Choose five cards from your deck and show them to your opponet. They pick on of the cards, and that card goes to your hand, the rest are discarded to the Graveyard.

Three words discribe this card, speed, and deck thinning. This card is deadly in the hands of an expert, this card can really give you an advantage, pick two Lights, two Darks, and Sinister Serpant, then sit back and have some fun. This card is rediculusly broken, and game breaking, too bad, it's getting banned come April 1st, and everyone should know why it's getting banned, because Chaos, and Exodia decks abused it's power, this card has some draw backs, like if you pick the wrong card at the wrong time (even skilled players can make mistakes). This card gets a 9.9/10!:D
 
Having had it used against me in league play all I can say is it should be called something more than 'Painful' Choice. Perhaps Excrutiating Choice would be more apt. Having said that I can see its usefulness. 8/10. 1 point off for being a jerk to me ;)


Hey Mullet, given any more thought to my CotW suggestion? :)
 
Painful Choice is a Super Rare in MRL and a Common in the reprint set DB1.

Mullet already recognized its power in Chaos decks as you can dump LIGHTs and DARKs in the graveyard with ti. Exodia decks can use Painful Choice because of Backup Soldier. It's a Common Trap in DB1. It can only be activated if there are at least five monsters in your graveyard. Three Normal Monsters are returned from your Graveyard to your hand. There is also Monster Reincarnation (RDS Super Rare, Discard a monster from your hand to get another one back from the graveyard). If you activate Painful to get the complete set, all you need to get them out of the graveyard are those two cards.

Painful is good for any deck, becuase it just helps the draws that you get.

Painful must have been banned for a reason. 9.7/10.
