wikia's page, didn't want to write them here because they are way too much and pretty much any of them was important, so read them before continue, unless you already know them.
So so, what's about this card? Great card, I'd say, negate a mass-destruction effect and SS another destruction negator with a good body, 2500 ATK.
This card is so useful and versatile that you'll have tons of ways to use that. While this card acts mainly as protection from S/Ts where it is played, it provides a good body that can be used for last pushes or as further protection more generic than this card itself. For example, lots of players use to use heavy storm and then negate this card all by theirself because they needed protection from BTH for the boss summon, or a Typhoon on their favourite Continuous Spell/Trap or Field Spell, or because they want to use some mass-destruction effect and fear an opponent's starlight. There are tons of plays with this card, that's why I decided to talk about this.
This card can not only protect from heavy storm, but even from DH, Judgment Dragon, and other mass-destruction.
Only for this reason, I'd play 1 in any deck, but I'm here mainly to talk about another thing:
What about double Starlight?
I'm actually trying to play double starlight pretty much anywhere. Let me explain it better:
Torrential is an overplayed card, without considering staples like dark hole or heavy storm, but there is even mirror force, and other generic cards. Other than those, there are even themed cards like Judgment dragon, and they're not the only ones. So, I thought, why not to play double starlight? Assuming that you know the Psychological and Mind Crush concepts (if you don't, read here, it's a madolche post, but it explains fairly well what's Mind Crush and how to use this for Psychological uses), if you play a deck that usually doesn't play starlight, your opponent will be a little mind crushed, but nothing special, while, if he thinks you do play only one after seeing the first one, and then gets starlight'd again, there's the true mind crush, other than making it easier to draw the first one and do the first mind crush. The first starlight's mind crush usually makes your opponent not fear anymore it, so he'll play cards not only thinking you finished your starlights, but, if he's easy-minded, he'll forget that you could have other negation cards, such as judgment, bribe, warning, and so on.
Playing 2 starlights is good even because of ordinary protection against destruction cards, it isn't only a Psychological matter.
However, no matter how good this card is, there are tons of players saying "The Huge Revolution Is Over is way better than starlight, it's a counter trap". That's not totally wrong, the main difference is being a counter trap, thus not negable via trap stun or royal decree, but both cards aren't that played, and not negable via warning. Starlight, on the other side, is vulnerable to these 3 cards BUT it SS a Stardust, one more negation card, and two of those cards aren't really played. So, I usually choose Starlight over huge because of the high amount of protection it gives and because of the opponent's lack of warnings (if you use warning on starlight, you'll have one less warning against my tiara). That's the usual reasoning.
Huge, on its side, have the possibility to protect even if the opponent's destroying 2 cards he owns. Let's say he uses scrap dragon's effect, it's possible to use huge and kill scrap.
I myself use huge only in jam machine deck, because of the unability to SS.
Well, That's All Folks thanks for reading.
P.s. here, we took a tin the day before yesterday, here's the video of the unboxing. It's in Italian, though.
