Solemn judgemnt

Solemn Judgment is a Counter Trap that reads: Pay half your Life Points when your opponent either activates Magic or Trap or summons a monster (Including Special Summon) to negate the action and destroy all the cards involved.
Probably the best late game card in Yu-Gi-Oh! What I mean by this is that during the end of the game, you are most likely low on Life Points. This lowers the downside to Solemn Judgment drastically. Being able to counter those crucial late game cards that usually throw the game in your opponent's favor for a small cost is simply amazing.
Solemn Judgment is easily the most versatile Counter Trap. This doesn't make it the best Counter Trap though. The reason for this is because during the beginning of the game paying half of your Life Points means there's a good chance your life will be at 4000. That's a Direct Damage player's dream.
Lately I have really been liking this card. It has meant game for me on several occasions. Just remember this card can kill anything and that is good paying half your lp can be a small price when you only have 1000 and your opponent summons a jinzo.
