Forum:Countering Honest

Steelfallenangel 08:12, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Can someone point me to another place where I can read the rulings on the 4 stages of the damage step since I have repeated arguements over cards I try to counter honest with.

Since it seems (at least to my view) that if a player holds control of honest that there are no counter traps that could work agaisnt it. Since if the attacking player just waits till the last stage of the damage step (which i don't see why they wouldn't) it won't matter what you chain to it it will always lose.

Now I know this doesnt apply during my turn since I hold turn priority for playing the first card but I cant find any way around it for when I'm being attacked

For the sake of demonstrations I'll give a example.

I attack, wait till the last phase of the damage step and play limiter removal. Oppenent can chain honest to it but it wont matter since limiter removal will resolve last and they cant wait for the next stage since there monster will already be dead.

Oppenent attacks, waits till the last of damage step and plays Honest. I don't play limiter removal since mine will resolve before honest and the light monster will simply get the upgraded attack value anyway.

I guess my basic question is besides outright stopping the attack ie negate attack or No Entry, is there any way to win a battle agaisnt a oppenet playing honest during their attack?
