Comparing Cards: Solemn Warning Vs. Bottomless Trap Hole

Yeah, another comparing cards post, I like it, it isn't difficult to write, it really helps a lot players deciding what to play, it makes up my mind, sometimes I have confused ideas about some cards, like the 2 of today, and writing this helps me too.

I said the other post will be regarding no-priority rule in TCG, Bottomless against Solemn Warning, I think it does make sense, right?
When Solemn Warning got printed, it was treated like a god card because it may help stopping ignition effects used with priority and trigger effects (if you don't know what this does mean, read the previous post). Before this, Bottomless Trap Hole was the main resource against summons, but it didn't work with monster under 1500 ATK and doesn't stopped Ignition and Trigger effect.
So why am I even comparing them? Warning only adds the cost of 2000 LP, it is alot better compared with bottomless, it even negates igntion effect with prior- RIGHT, no more prio, this makes this card alot more playable.
As always, let's start with PROs and CONs:

Warning need 2000 LP to work, Bottomless does not.
Because of the previous, Warning may be a dead card.
Warning only destroy, Bottomless banishes too (but this may be a con for bottomless, if you want to know the reason, read the other comparing cards post).

Bottomless doesn't work against monster with less than 1500 ATK, Warning does (big con for bottomless, no rabbit and alot-of-others-monsters-very-important-in-this-meta hate).
Bottomless doesn't stop trigger effect, Warning does.
Bottomless is only SS2, Warning is SS3.

Yeah, there wasn't too much to say, so let's go directly to the overall impressions:
Warning is way more better, but it depends on player's play style and deck, if it is a deck that risks alot of damage, warning may easily become a dead draw, if you are going into a macro deck however, banishing effect of bottomless is totally unuseful, so warning is better. As said, it depends on player and deck.

This was all for today, I think.

See ya.
