It's an all right skill, though definitely easy for the opponent to overcome by simply not playing the card -- they have to be forced.

My favorite way to do it is with Sergeant Electro by disabling any other set spell/trap cards they have. Then my favorite card to surprise present is Destructive Draw; it is a continuous trap (so permanently occupies their space) that will deal them 700 damage each of their end phases and if they somehow get rid of it, they take 3000 damage. In addition, you will also get the benefit of its perk which is allowing you two draw two cards in your draw phase if you don't have any cards in your hand -- very useful. Granted, if the opponent gets rid of it while it's still set... well... darn. Lol. Though, still a great strategy for burn decks.

Lol good idea. I wonder if I force 'Solemn Scolding' on them, can they actually 🔥 with it (if they opened it while below 3000hp)? Or does the game simply not allow them to?

player can't activate this card if his/her life points is less than the cost

Its actually a decent effect, especially if you play defensibly. If your opponent sets 2 cards just set a card. usually they'll have some defensive cards like Mirror wall, WallOfD, Spike W/Chain, maybe a continuous spell card ect. (or even if they activate a equip spell, but thats rare enough)

I built a 'gift' deck Using Gift Exchange and Card exchange, its really fun to play as. Its pretty good against certain meta decks If played right.

The card I like to give isn't "Aegis of Gaia", its good, But I like "Localized Tornado" Because its a trap card, they will remind them to use it I find more people fall under the pressure using it more that way.

Give a card with a specific activation con + Zing zen Hu = no backrow for opponent.

You might be able to force a straight flush with this. Can't see it being used any other way right now.

what if i give them a trap that can only be activated in a certain condition?

You clogged one of their back row permanently. There are some cards that allows people to remove their own spell/trap cards however. So it's not a great skill, in the end.

well, it depends on whether your opponent is willing to waste one removal on it or not

You can olso give your opponent cards that are only activate their effect when destroyed. So you make one of your opponent's spell/trap zone useless and not yours until you storm everything. Also the oppenent my destroy them to free his zone. But it is still only once per duel.

That is a good idea! I am working on a Deck Out deck where I give my opponent a card that allows them too draw cards, which of course benefits me

Olivia

Using this with Aegis of Gaia is just silly

Realm

What is the point of this skill if A.I dont activate it? Ridiculous. Konami better fix this bs.

Once is enough to force your opponent to activate Lucky Punch.

Lucky Punch isn't useful because it hurts the owner of the card when popped, and not the controller. So the 6000 damage gets dealt to you (the owner of the card).

Destructive Draw on the other hand...

Can this skill still be used for farming? It seems like the AI doesn't activate it anymore?

Totally useless skill is competitive but if you just play for fun try to give yourself opponent ´card of sanctionary'
Managed to do the trick against a brain dead mai valatine.

I hope to combine this with Aegis of Gaia + bad reaction to simochi. How can I force them to active a trap though?

If your opponent needs that spell/trap slot they'll have to activate it (pumpkin/wonder ballons/OdionTraps decks). Good thing is they can't see under the card. Only you know what is the card.

Pegasus's skill can look at the set cards though

This skill and Xing Zhen Hu + Judgment of Anubis is the ultimate lockdown strategy. Your opponent will not be able to use any spell or trap cards during the entire duel. Even if they play Twister from their hand to remove your trap you counter it with Magic Jammer / Judgement of Anubis!

This is why I love Tea <3 Or another excellent combo is the Unhappy Girl with Holly Guard which is a free ability. You run two of these traps to lockdown the trap zone then the Unhappy Girl and some defense position force change cards to also lockdown their monster zone. Totally evil!

To play a quick play spell they would still need a free spell trap zone.And there are some monsters that have the ability to empty spell trap zones, like that one wind bird with a flip efect to return 2 spells traps to the hand and the toy magician with the ability to destroy them
