Solemn Judgment MRD-127

Hey people,
Here's my first COTD review.Seeing that my avatar thingy is the aforementioned card I thought to myself why not review it. Your post count will go up by one and you could practice some vocabulary. So I said yes. Now here I am. On to the review!!!:

Solemn Judgment - MRD-127
Pay half of your life points when your opponent either activates a Magic or Trap card or summons a monster (including a special summon) to negate the action and destroy the Magic card, Trap card or summoned monster.

Thoughts:
Decent effect. Negates any and everything from the almighty Jinzo to the oh so overplayed Black Luster Soldier - Messenger Of Creation. The cost maybe a bit high early mid-game, but coming down to the end it becomes extremly handy.
Effect:
If you want reliable negation for all of your troubles here it is in one sleek package. Magic Jammer,Seven Tools of the Bandit,Horn of Heaven combined into one. When it comes down to protecting your monsters or your self Solemn steps in. Whatever your opponent was planning was just stopped,broken and buried.
Usefulness:
Topdeck pot...negate it. Topdeck BLS.....negate it. Topdeck anything...negate it!! What's not to love. Its the ultimate stopper. It owns everyother counter trap PERIOD!!!!

Artwork:
Its an old dude with his hand up and two blondes in the background. Pretty decent.

Overall this cards deserves to see more play.....and with it getting reprinted in either DB2 or DR2 super rare it should be easier to get. Me, I run it in 3's in every deck. Thanks to that I have gained the nickname Judgeman...hmmmm...Now people in my meta (environment) now either run 2 or 3 of them.

Pros
-Negates Spell Cards
-Negates Trap Cards
-Negates Monster Summons (Including Special Summons BLS anyone?)

Cons
-Cost

Score 4.0/5.0
I wouldn't mind a rate on this review seeing as its my first thanks!!

I run this card for one reason, and one reason alone. Jinzo. My deck is pretty trap-heavy for today's meta (I run around 10 traps), and Jinzo single handidly let's my opponent by pass them all.


I do agree with Duelist that the cost can seem pretty daunting, but late game it's not that big a deal and more practically - you are sometimes faced with the prospect of losing... or losing half your life points.
 
Thing with paying half your life points, is that you will never be so low that you cant actully use it.
 
also this card is a perfect card for last turn/ self destruction button decks.
 
I love this card, it works perfectly with Last Turn, protecting it from anything that you opponet might what to try (since half of your life can't ever kill you). I run three of these with two Masks of Darkness (mainly so I can get them back.


Aslo, if you run a trap Heavy Deck like I do, try using Horn of Heaven to Negate Jinzo (if you think you'll have monsters on the field to sac for it). This is also great for getting rid of a filp effect monster that has already been flipped. Finally, if you run any stalls, try adding 2 Messenger of Peace. I've found that these will usually buy me at least a turn or two to get rid of Jinzo.
 
You could use a Life-Absorbing Machine, to ragain half the life points you payed for Solemn Judgement.
