I will love this card to be real just to spite those who abuse Solemns. Did you draw it all?

Lord God! No... Wait... Weren’t you omnipotent a few seconds ago? I mean... an explosion is enough to scare the creator god? No wonder the world is so flawed.

I was thinking this more resembled something like a cross between Counter Counter and Smashing Horn-something like that. Card effect is fine though, but I have, of course, two suggestions for this card.

Tweak #1: 

If a card(s) you control is sent to the GY because of a Counter Trap effect while this card is in your GY, when that Counter Trap resolves:The added part is to make sure you can activate this properly-normally, nothing can respond to a Counter Trap effect, except another Counter Trap, and even in the GY this effect is a Spell Speed 2.  I'd also say the last part of the effect should say "return those sent cards in the GY to the Zones they were in when that Counter Trap was activated." seems a bit more straightforward. 

Tweak #2: Le name. We're gonna need to give it something....more fitting. I suggest the following 

Sot So NolemnOkay I was joking there, what I really suggest is "Solemn Secession". Represents the Darklords rejecting Solemn as they were his castoff (quid pro quo in the Darklords' minds) a shorter name to help with the text, its got it all.

Of course, Not So Solemn has memetic value, so I could possibly be wrong about this.

Make of it what you will.

Yeah..... didn't that card have a clause that said that nothing could respond to it?

BatMed In reply to KuriMaster13 [2018-02-06 13:49:58 +0000 UTC]

Nope. But by default all counter Traps are Speed Spell 3, and only other Spell Speed 3 card effects can be used to respond to a Spell Speed 3 card effect. Therefore only Counters can counter Counters lol

Yep, but if 'Counter Counter' was a Counter Trap that a Counter trap couldn't respond to, then it might be better as a Counter Trap for Counter Traps.

"Counter Counter" can actually be negated by "Solemn Judgement", "Solemn Scolding", "Counter Counter" itself, and even by this one that I made.

Yep..... which can kinda suck, if only you couldn't use counter traps to counter 'Counter counter', though I guess it would be kinda funny to see 'Counter Counter' counter 'Counter Counter' in a duel.
