The curse of Bridge Hollow has long been a sinister legend that has haunted the small town. Supposedly, anyone who ventures onto the old wooden bridge after midnight will be met with terrible misfortune. Many skeptics believe it to be nothing more than a ghost story passed down through generations, while others swear by the curse's existence. Local authorities have even attempted to dismiss the claims by conducting investigations and debunking the supernatural rumors. However, eerie occurrences continue to be reported by those who brave the bridge late at night. Some witnesses claim to have heard chilling voices whispering in the darkness, while others have seen shadowy figures lurking nearby.

The cards listed above are frequently used in lots of different Decks. Duelists use them to help maintain control of a Duel by stopping an opponent’s cards or effects. But Witch’s Strike also works against Deck-specific negation cards like Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon, Altergeist Protocol, and Cyber Dragon Infinity.

Instead, you wait for your opponent s card to successfully negate the Summon of a monster or the activation of a card or effect, and then activate Witch s Strike after your opponent s card resolves. From lead monsters like Altergeist Hexstia carrying an effect to negate cards, to a wide variety of Counter Traps as this card can be activated after the outcome, Witch s Strike will then take out any cards the opponent had on both field and hand to potentially leave them out of options for several turns.

Some witnesses claim to have heard chilling voices whispering in the darkness, while others have seen shadowy figures lurking nearby. The curse has taken a toll on the once-thriving community, making residents fearful and superstitious. The once-bustling bridge, a vital lifeline connecting the town, now stands desolate, with locals opting for alternative routes to avoid crossing it.

Witch’s Strike

————————————————
If your opponent negates the Normal or Special Summon of a monster(s) or the activation of a card or effect: Destroy all cards your opponent controls and in their hand.
————————————————
Can Be Found In: Savage Strike (SAST-EN079)

Card and summon negation is one of the strongest disruptive options in the game, and gradually became more prominent and effective over the years. From Counter Traps that can only be negated by their own kind, to monsters using their effects directly from the user’s hand, a well timed use of these options can put a complete halt to a player’s turn. Simply negating a searching or drawing effect can stop all momentum from a player, while negating a powerful monster the second hits on the field can make all the effort put go to waste. These are more than enough reasons why some of the most recurring defenses a player will depend on is on stopping setups and combos, as that alone can be way more effective than dealing with the aftermath of the opponent’s plays.

“Witch’s Strike” is a particular Trap Card, as hides an incredibly devastating effect under a condition that could be seen as vengeful. If the opponent negates either the summon of a monster (Normal or Special) or the activation of a card or effect, “Witch’s Strike” can be activated afterwards to destroy all opponent’s cards in both their field and hand. Given its conditions “Witch’s Strike” could be seen situational or even a dead weight against various Decks, but given the occurrence or negation tools for decades its activation can turn the whole game in our favor for the rest of the Duel.

Given its requeriments, “Witch’s Strike” should be approached as an emergency tool ready to go the moment the opponent tries to negate any of our plays. Both fortunately and unfortunately is quite likely for various opponents to have atleast one negation tool to try to stop our normal plays, compensating the loss of our cards or summons with the activation of “Witch’s Strike”. From lead monsters like “Altergeist Hexstia” carrying an effect to negate cards, to a wide variety of Counter Traps as this card can be activated after the outcome, “Witch’s Strike” will then take out any cards the opponent had on both field and hand to potentially leave them out of options for several turns. Overall its usage is as simple as can be, and with the popularity towards stopping a vital summon or effect “Witch’s Strike” can become a terrifying card against some defensive heavy strategies.

At first might seem that “Witch’s Strike” can become a recurring backrow card to always depend on, to the point that could dismiss the use of negation effects completely by its existance alone. However, while “Witch’s Strike” can indeed be a devastating outcome for a recurring condition in today’s game, there are some heavy gaps when comes to its requeriments. Besides having to wait for the opponent to take action, some popular choices such as “Call by the Grave” and “Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring” among others will negate the effect but not their activation or summon, becoming completely safe from dealing with our plays without having to worry about the pressence of “Witch’s Strike” on our field. If anything “Witch’s Strike” can become a Side Deck pick when confronting more particular builds such as Counter Fairy and others, but is hard to deny the devastating effect that can provide for such prominent condition.

+ If the opponent negates our summon or the activation of a card or effect all their cards on the field and hand will be destroyed
+ Negation effects are quite prominent nowadays

– Dependant of the opponent
– Some negation options bypasses this card’s conditions
