Check cards ranking in the duel studio, you can filter them by type (spell/trap/monster/extra deck).
Check the top 3 of each type and exclude cards that are not generic (i.e. white stone of ancient only works for blue eyes)

Ever since Mirror Wall have been buggy, it has been removed from all my decks. Sometimes it just doesn't work, it activates and then just does not half the attack points of the attacking monsters (and no, there weren't cards involved that would negate mirror wall like rose lover for example). It happened to often to lose a duel due to a non-working mirror wall. Wall of Disruption has never failed me like that, so I have those in my deck (which works just as well, is permanent and doesn't cost me lifepoints to keep the effect). Drowning mirror force could argue to be powerfull just like Treacherous trap hole, but direct attacks don't happen so often (usually big clash of monsters and effects) and Treacherous trap hole is good but not worth losing all my trap cards. So it remains Wall of Disruption and Widespread Ruin for me :)
