i've been working on a skill drain deck. for awhile I've thought that the only way to really protect it from royal decree is solemn judgement and seven tools. I've thought about it for awhile, and this card might actually be good in a skill drain deck. Most players run 1 mst, and 1 heavy and that is it, except for the few players that use dust tornado or side them. fake trap guards against that. but, the problem is royal decree, and this card could actually really work in this type of deck if you think about it, yes its most of the time wasted draw but considering itd be almost the perfect draw against a royal decree, it could be usable. ne comments?? btw, I heard chainsaw insect can't be skill drained, is t his true??

No, remove trap will be a dead draw 99 out of 100 times. The best way to guard against Royal Decree is to build your deck in stuff a way that it isn't so reliant on Skill Drain that Royal Decree kills it. Plus, you'll have Heavy, MST, and Breaker to fall back on.

Yeah...only WIDELY used Traps that Remove Trap could be used on would be Call of the Haunted or Royal Decree...

Skill Drain isn't around enough to make you NEED to deck it...Blast with Chain is hardly used as an Equipment Card, but only for its effect in a chain against m/t destruction...burn decks aren't seen that often and Messenger of Peace is used more than Gravity Bind usually anyways...

And yes...Chainsaw Insect can be Skill Drained....the only cards unable to be Skill Drained are...

E. Hero Wildman (if it's already f/u)
Tenkabito Shien (same)

...since they are unaffected by the effects of Trap Cards.

there's also double snare and a team trap disposal unit

Yeah...well..not really Double Snare...that's mainly a Counter FOR counter's against Traps, lol.

A-Team: Trap Disposal Unit could be one though. Basically a Seven Tools of the Bandit in monster form.
