Reviewing Every Solemn Yu-Gi-Oh! Trap Card 

Gonna second this! It's not a big deal, but worst-to-best or chronologically would help me out, alphabetically doesn't do much for me.

Black Tim Howard agreed

Black Tim Howard I was tilted when solemn judgement wasn't first

Well they all vary from deck to deck and what the current meta. No one card is the best but a general rule of thumb is that the one where you can negate a special Summon is the best as the meta constantly revolves special summons.

Mohammed Hussain these comments did actually change how dzeeff handles these types of videos though. He does them more in chronological order these days lol.

good idea

Niceeee

What about all the Jar cards next? :P

BUT ... what does Pot of Greed do?

Kevin Bibow he already did

Frogman417 Good looking out bro.

And starlight road

That’s correct

Umm Solemn judgement can negate drowning mirror force?

Solemn warning can negate rebirth parshath since in the text has summon.

KNIGHT TRYSTEN 😏

Ayy-LMAO-sear

Same thing with Ash blossom. Its so annoying.

Aren't there only like, two cards there?

KommandantMakaröwitz swords of revealing light,swords of concealing light,wall of revealing light,swordsman of revealing,spiritual swords of revealing light,I can't think of any more

Angel Ramirez Half the cards you just listed aren't even swords cards

Swordsman of landstar?

Swordsman of revealing light?

brilliant

Story progression series of a simp!

*internal screaming*

Ae-sir Not hard.

Lol, that’s that Dzeeff charm though!!

Fucc i read it eye-seer

That would be an interesting analysis.

And 'Polymerisation' cards too, since Polymerisation cards are technically 'Fusion' cards in their Japanese names, and cards that support fusion cards also support polymerisation cards

@@sdsd1801 oh?

It got play in a lot of TK Dinos to have another way to protect their boards

There the backstory was fallen angel forbidden is wit she did and punished in solemn strick

Ex_Spectre This^

I know for sure solemn can negate macro.

Solemn warning trickstar reincarnation to stop them banishing your hand.

PathBeyondTheDark Not every Solemn card is like that, specifically one that wasn't covered in this video.

UNDERDEAL 88 I know, just in general it's traditionally considered the series that forbids interaction. I'm not fond of the series, if you can't tell.

Each solemn card only negates one activation/card. If it was a card that negated all effects for a turn or something then that could be true.

JayzOned C Most decks only have a single play that must go through in order to interact in any way. The consensus is if a Solemn card will completely shut down your deck - such as a deck with one big boss monster or one good searcher - then it's worthless. Solemn cards add onto the issue with the gap between competitive decks and the rest of the 95% of the cardpool. A single card shouldn't be the end all of 95% of the games options. That's just ridiculous and unhealthy for any game. And as for the "everyone has access" argument, a Scottie Pippen on every team isn't as affective as a Scottie Pippen on the Michael Jordan Bulls. The competitiveness of the Bulls and the toolbox boss monster in MJ made Scottie's defense (Solemn series) that much more potent while pseudo competitive teams (decks) and more casual ones would not get everything out of Scottie because MJ laughs at defense (multiple outs). In other words, "say no" cards help competitive decks far more than others since they can get around single negation cards, while using them guarantees the rogue deck can't do anything to them because they have one play they can't afford to have taken from them. It adds control to your aggro deck; an unstoppable force effectively becomes an immovable object against most other decks which are just plain human in comparison.

*insert stale rata meme here*

It doesn't have Solemn in the name, so no lol.

dzeeff yeah even Solemn Wishes is a 神 (God) card in ocg. just the normally censored "God' with "Solemn". that's why we have all of these renames for cards that should've fallen into an archetype from the start

Since all YGO english texts follow japanese texts, it's safe to say that Ultimate Providence is technically a "Solemn" card.

Victor Marcelo Review every effect monster!

Review of every card that have "then" on the text

Review every card

It would be cool if they made a demonic beast of some kind that is her after strike

Jeffrey Shaffer They did, Condemned Maiden.

While at it, rata's Solemn Johnson.

Fun fact: "Solemn" cards here in the TCG are "of God" in the OCG. For example, Solemn Wishes is Blessing of God.

Jeffrey Shaffer condemned maiden and witch

Negating an activation negates the playing of a card, sort of speak, while negating the effect negates the actual effect but the card is still considered played. This comes in play with continuous spells or monsters, for example, where the card will stay in play but have it's effect negated with the latter (for however long it lasts) while with the former the card will be negated and sent to the GY. In most cases, after resolving a negation effect, whether for effect or activation, cards that don't remain on the field - such as normal spells and traps - will be negated and sent to the GY regardless as they normally are. So in those cases, there really is no difference aside from very specific instances (of which escape me atm). Basically, any card that requires "destruction" of the card being negated may trigger if the card's activation is negated and the negation card reads "and destroy that card" while it won't if it's just the effect being negated.

Firecracker Koiote Negating an activation is negating when a Spell or Trap is first activated. Like if you activate Monster Reborn from the hand you activate that spell. Negating an effect is exactly what it says. It negates an effect of a card. For example in the instance of this video's Solemn Wishes. Negating the activation is when your opponent activates a Set Solemn Wishes. Negating the effect is when the effect of Solemn Wishes activates. It's then not the activation of Solemn Wishes, but its effect. I hope this clarifies.

Firecracker Koiote It’s the same difference as “eating ass” and “eating da booty like groceries”

If your oppenent activates chicken game for ex., and you set this card a turn after that, and your opponent activates the effect of it in his, you can't negate the effect.

I’ll make this simple. If I summon say zombie master you can negate the summon or you can wait until I activate Zombie Master’s effect and pay the discard cost to negate the effect.

He never did.

Black Tim Howard fiber jar, dice jar, absorbing jar, dimension jar...there are quite a few

Yeah

Solemn Wishes gives you life for drawing cards, having 3 pots and 3 gracefuls is a LOT of health from wishes.

I mean this in the least rude way possible: read that part of the card again. I think you may have missed a part of it

Zane Riverside it would negate Reborn if the wording read “when a card/effect that would special summon a monster is activated”

loverofSaki2 Royal cards

TheSassJacket's Editor Kuriboh

Inu San Every single monster that can be normal summoned

Thank you. I know in some games they hit 0 if you try to use Solemn with a single point.

Yes you go to .5 then are rounded up to 1. That’s correct
