When an opponent's monster declares an attack. Destroy all Attack Position monsters your opponent controls.
Mirror force. It's been a staple in nearly all decks effectively since it was created. Taking a quick glance at it, it seems strong. When your opponent attacks it destroys everything. It has been great to punish over extending and can help you make a massive comeback, but is it really that great anymore?
To me, this card is still fabulous, but not as required to a deck as some staples like the Solemns or Torrential Tribute. Sure it can punish over extending, but really in today's meta with Mystical Space Typhoon and Dust Tornado both floating around and Giant Trunade available this card will often be gone before you get a chance to use it. Then with Solemn Judgement and Seven Tools seeing so much play, this card can also easily be negated. Finally, going back to how fast the meta is, your opponent can easily pull out a Stardust, Shi En, Brionac or tons of other synchros that will make this useless. Also, going back to those S/Ts I already mentioned, with the amount of draw power most decks have, they will likely have those cards in their hand.
Although all that is true, this is still one of the best staples and most decks should not go without this. It has and probably always be a staple.
