Forum:Heavy Storm - a necessary evil?

This might be an odd topic but I wanted to share my experiences: Since the ban of Heavy Storm, I have noticed that people started playing far more traps than before, which is understandable given the fact that Heavy Storm was the biggest threat for Trap heavy decks. These people are glad that Heavy Storm is banned, but others think it is infuriating to face such a trap heavy deck.

The question is: Are Heavy Storm and other Mass Spell/Trap destroyers a necessary evil in the game?

Yes, they are. Without Heavy/Trunade/Cold Wave people will exploit every trap there is. Going first and setting 4 cards is an unfair move and without mass spell/trap removal one can't do anything against it. I do understand that they make OTKs easier, but facing a trap heavy deck without any answers is one the most frustrating experiences you can have in the game.

I think that in every format there should be at least one card allowed that helps you overcome such a massive backrow. What are your thoughts on this topic? Do you agree that we should have a way to fight back? Or are they gone for good? - BronzeJohnson (talk • contribs) 13:46, May 9, 2014 (UTC)
