Forum:I want your HONEST opinion...

Yeah, Honest as in the card. I have seen many opinions on this card, 70% of which rated from "Burn in Hell Honest" to "Honest needs to be illegal".

I cannot seem to understand why all this hate for such a useful card.

Before I ask you for your opinions, I'll say these:


 * 1) I own 3 Honests, and yeah I run them in a Lightsworns Deck (which runs no Judgment Dragons or Charge of the Light Brigade, FYI).
 * 2) I'll agree on the fact that Honest is powerful, but I'll reject the popular quote "Honest is OP".
 * 3) Honest is one of the very few good LIGHT support cards, if not the only good one. Why ban the ONLY support for an entire ATTRIBUTE of monsters? Just cause Lightsworns and Little City (cougnMetaDeckscough) use it doesn't mean that it is ban-worthy. Banning Honest would mean that LIGHT decks would all die, along with 50% of Anti-Meta, and that everyone would run DARK decks again. Tele-DAD all over again, anyone?
 * 4) Ban Honest, then what? Ban Allure, DAD, JD, D-Draw, Reborn... what are we going to play with then? Shapesnatch? "BAN EVERYTHING" is not the answer.
 * 5) Before you go all "Sod off Honest lover", consider the following 3 points:
 * 1) Do you own an Honest?
 * 2) Have you ever used a deck that ran/could benefit from an Honest?
 * 3) Do you have ANY idea what the Rulings for Honest are?


 * Answer these, and you might just change your mind. Remember, don't judge a card by one deck that overuses it, judge it for what it is.
 * P.S. Getting a playset of Honest isn't as hard as you may think.
 * P.P.S. Hate/Flame acceptable :-P.
 * P.P.P.S. I'd like everyone to comment, both people that own Honest and not. Diversity is good.
