10.solemn judgment(most would say it should not be on the list, but it should.  It's a counter trap and can stop many effect monsters including Jinzo)

9.time seal(same as solemn judgment, underrated.  In hand destruction, activate this when they have not options, and you gat a free direct attack)

8.drop off(just like time seal, but when comparing drop off is better)

7.torrential tribute(also horrible.  Almost all people play MST before a monster, making this card horrible)

6.magical cylinder(this is a horrible card.  Not chainable, and not extremely devastating, atleast mirror force is devastating)

5.mirror force(I probably will get hatemail for putting this so low, but it should be.  Here's the reason, 75% of the time it will get MST'ed or something before you can use it.  I don't even remember the last time I used its effect without imperial order active)

4.waboku(I probably will get hatemail for putting this so high, but fact is CHAINABILITY is good.  This effect will happen 99.99999% of the time, and the effect might not be magic cylinder devastating, but atleast it will happen for sure)

3.call of the haunted(this I admit i might have ranked to high, but when playing painful choice, this can still benefit when chained the MST or something, like chaining MST with this on Jinzo, because Jinzo stayes alive.

2.ring of destruction(chainable and devastating all in one package.  This effect is not as surefire as waboku, but defenitly more surefire than Mirror force or cylinder)

1.imperial order(yes, this is the best trap of all time.  It negates the type of card people pack the most of, MAGICS.  Negating half of the cards in all competative decks is REALLY good.  Also, 700 life points is nothing compared to what they loose without the assistance of magics.  If all you think of it as is a free magic jammer, than you are mistaken.  It is much more, considering it can turn into a one card lockdown.  It can also protect mirror force and cylinder from being destroyed before being activated)

Questions?  Comments? My email adress is reallylameloser@aol.com.  If send me mail saying mirror force is the best trap, I will laugh.
