      @@Nerobyrne i dont necessarily play a ton of modern yugioh but my guess would be that the reason is:
      -not a ton of light-centric meta decks at the time
      -the ones that are have their own, better Honest
      -the ones that dont have that dont particularly need it and are running a more relevant card for their archetype in its place
      Again I don't know for sure, but I'm fairly certain that's why. If you have a light centric deck and wanna run honest, go for it! Notice that lots of the cards on this list got updated. The meta is influenced by actual players trying things to see if they work.

      @@shadotarot I don't know it well enough to propose an alternative (do you think the time before Synchros is too long to be just called „the early days“?) but it seems weird to name the period after something that doesn't really characterise it.
      Who actually Fusion summoned back then?
      When Synchros and Exceeds were introduced, speaking of Synchro and Exceed era respectively made sense because those did see wide-spread play shortly after being introduced.
      Fusion summoning, however, was for the longest time too cumbersome to be competitively viable (aside from Instant Fusion).
      Besides, aren't Rituals around for as long as Fusions?
      Idk, I'm not per se against defining these terms according to Extra deck mechanics.
      Maybe I was just thrown off by you speaking of a „Fusion _summon_ era“ instead of a „Fusion era“.

      still, face-down monsters cannot be used as link material and your opponent can only remove them by tribute summoning these face down monsters (wich is rare because a lot of meta deck are made out of lv4 or lower monsters or lv5 or higher monsters that can't be normal summoned/set) so if you manage to make one of your opponent monster in the extra monster zone face-down your opponent can't use his extra deck.

      @SwiftJustice2020 had yugioh cards for almost 10 years but started playing like month and a half ago. I pretty much exclusively play with my brother and friend because dudes in online play these "meta" decks where they special summon literally 12 monsters in 1 turn while still somehow having left 4 cards in their hand. Modern yugioh just boils down to whose fortifications on the field will succumb and whose will endure the 2nd turn and it's disgusting if you ask me.

    Great video. Your explanations always help me better understand the competitive use of cards since I only play casual.
    I will say that I absolutely love Witch’s Strike despite it not being a counter trap. I do wish it was a counter trap but it’s designed to be a revenge nuke after baiting your opponent into negating another card they think is your actual goal.
    When played right I feel like it’s amazing, but I do hate that Red Reboot can negate it so easily. But such is dueling...

      @@joeyhoward-williams8853 given that the unaffected protection is the highest protection currently available, it seems obvious that if something can overcome that protection it can also overcome any other protection. But there are a few other examples that can overcome it. Super-poly is one example, although it’s limited in terms of what can be considered material and it’s currently banned. Towers effect can work to dispatch one assuming the opponent doesn’t have other monsters to throw instead. And lastly you have the classic “destroy by battle” and whatever effects can assist in that like honest. The point I’m making is that the protection is very good and there are very few outs to it, but there are still some outs.

      What REALLY makes Witch's Strike completely suck as a card is that it cannot be activated from the hand. Then again, if it COULD be activated from the hand it'd be one of the most broken hand traps in the game due to the abundance of omni-negates in YGO today.
      This is one of those traps that's either broken as balls or a complete piece of shit due to its activation conditions. There is literally no middle ground here.
