How it works

Mirror Force is a Normal Trap. When an opponent’s monster declares an attack, destroy all Attack Position monsters your opponent controls.

When to use it

It’s one of the most famous Traps in the game, released in the TCG in 2002. It can swing a Battle Phase by wiping every attacker, but it only works when your opponent attacks.

Rulings in plain English

What gets destroyed? Every monster in Attack Position on your opponent’s side when it resolves.

What if the attack that triggered it was negated? It still resolves as written.

Solemn Judgment is another classic Trap.
