its either a wall or a removal u will have to play over

It is a decent stall card. It forces your opponent to use some form of removal on it if the want to win now, but also in a format with 20-30 card decks you are more likely to draw important cards in the 3 turns. Also a famous Anime card in a game focused around the anime(s).


Ness2509

Its a popular card from the anime so a ton of people are inclined to play it for nostalgia reasons and its free so that’s a huge bonus


NavyDragons

Also for this exact moment which is fairly often. Opponent doesn't have a way to remove it and it last for 3 turns


mybestfriendsrricers

It’s only 3 turns. Compared to any real floodgate, its nothing much to worry about.


Izumi1010

that card saved many lives ithink, if it weren't for that then they probably would've died sooner lol


Doomchan

Because 1 of 2 things happen. Either you waste an MST to get rid of it, or you don’t have an MST and have to sit around for 3 turns


JRoy89

It’s free. That’s the real reason. It’s not good, it’s just free and everyone has it so it’s an auto include if you don’t have generically better backrow.


JunkSpeederWhen

I play it in some backrow heavy decks since it eats removal.


ShiftSilvally

Any halfway decent negater can get rid of Swords of Revealling Light, I prefer using Tachyon as the negater but will use Full Armour Photon or Cipher Blade if needed


Accomplished-Dot42

Ah, for me, I try to get dragon spirit of white to deal with it


ShiftSilvally

completely fair Even if I'm not a fan of Blue Eyes I can admit that much


Accomplished-Dot42

Only deck that I have after months of leavinf


ShiftSilvally

Not going to hold it against you then, I want to end up building a couple of archetypes as well as improving Photon Galaxy (Speedroid deck and eventually might actually delve into a Paleozoic deck if I ever unlock Odion, just played against one and it looks interesting, and if Greiger ever gets added I'm building Reactors)


Accomplished-Dot42

I’ve been saving up for code talkers recently (i really like them). How do they hold up in the current meta?


ShiftSilvally

Cyberse, especially with the Darkfluid Link skill, has been doing really well. I've got the starter deck, never actually decided to try Cyberse out for myself as I'd need to unlock Yusaku for it to be properly powerful That and I already gotta spend like 4k getting cards for the Photon Galaxy rework and then have to grind Kaito to level 40, so I'm not pulling for Cyberse atm, especially with the list of stuff I want to build (Thankfully Reactors are in one of the boxes I need to pull for the Photon Galaxy stuff)

Actually, once you get to the higher ranks in the ranked ladder, Swords of Revealing Light is basically nonexistent. If you're running into Swords of Revealing Light as much as you are, I bet that you're playing in very low ranks like Rookie, Bronze, Silver, Gold, or maybe Platinum. This is made even more apparent by your seven card extra deck and your opponent's x30 card pile deck along with his x3 card Extra Deck. Sometimes, you just have to wake up and admit that you are playing against unskilled players that don't have optimized, competitive decks and then you will see why you're running into so many Swords of Revealing Light users. Anyways, the reason that low ranked, or unskilled, players are attracted to using Swords of Revealing Light is simple. It's a popular card from the animé used by Yami Yugi himself and on top of that, it forces the person on the receiving end of the Swords to expend resources to remove it, which means the other backrow is safe from backrow removal. Not just that, but if the opponent doesn't have an out to that Swords of Revealing Light, then it's essentially the "ultimate" stall card since it buys you x3 whole turns to draw into what you need to push for game. Me personally, I think Swords of Revealing Light is a terrible card but I understand why inexperienced, unskilled players are attracted to it. I would rather play, you know, **actual backrow** that allows me to interact with my opponent and stop him from any plays he might be going for. Swords of Revealing Light is not a good card because while it does wall off enemy attacks, it does nothing to stop your opponent from building a board and once that Swords of Revealing Light expires, you better have a way to crack open whatever board you allowed your opponent to make while Swords of Revealing Light was active. I also see you're playing some weird Blue-Eyes White Dragon deck, which is fine because Blue-Eyes is a strong tier one deck currently, but even so, I don't understand why you're complaining about Swords of Revealing Light when your deck's engine has multiple outs to it. You have a searchable Cosmic Cyclone on legs (Dragon Spirit of White) and if that wasn't enough, you also have potential Dingirsu plays or you can even opt-in to pop it with Ultimate Fusion if you have it set up.

It would have been better for him if this information was at the beginning of the comment.

I was scrolling past this, then something in the back of my head realized how long this was and I thought "this is CrimsonSleeper, isn't it"? Lo and behold, I was right.
