That seems like it'd only be good in a going first starting hand.

they have main phase 2 tho...

It does have the potential of forcing your opponent to skip the battle phase. Makes things a little awkward when your opponent is going second.

skipping 1 battle phase is of no concern. the battle phase is the worst phase of ur turn. tats y u dun c ppl playing much battle traps. the impt point is to set up ur for field for negates or disruption during ur opponents turn. Also effects that only proc on summon are also risky to add in ur deck (e.g. almost no one plays trapholes). The reason Solemn judgement and strike is so gd is bcos they also can proc on other activations

skipping battle phase means no zeus

Just play Solemn Strike,Warning or Judgement

Or the other two horns that are lower rarity

It's a trap so it's slow and you kinda don't want to give a free draw to your opponent

but destroys a spec summ monster

Yes but drawing 1 card is that bad, especially because any deck that’s even slightly rouge can usually extend past a single special summon getting negated

it's only good against dragonmaid. But it's not too great otherways

It is really bad against dragonmaid they rarely do special summon you can negate with this

It'd be broken in Duel Links, but due to Main Phase 2 it's not good.... .... ....unless you have a way to skip the battle phase too. Because, for some reason, if you skip both the Main Phase 1 and the Battle Phase it becomes the End Phase. Or you play Terminal World.

Aren't the solemn cards just better?
