This card negates the effect of a trap card. Gain 5 stars per level of cancelled trap.
Stiff Crystal is a collectible Boost card that can be acquired from the Expansion Pack.
Effect[ | ]
Upon use, the player gains the Stiff Crystal stock effect, which will be consumed the next time the player would trigger a trap. Upon doing so, the trap will not be triggered and will instead be automatically discarded. In addition, the player gains stars equal to 5x the level of the discarded trap.
Notes[ | ]
- Stiff Crystal will discard traps even if they are not usually discarded upon trigger (such as
Present Thief and 
Rbit Hobby Shop).
- If Present Thief is discarded after having been triggered once already, the cards it contained will be discarded along with it.
Strategy[ | ]
Stiff Crystal is an effective counter to trap-based strategies, particularly against characters with powerful trap-related Hypers. Perhaps most useful is its ability to prevent the player from being denied a norma by a Trap card, as 
Home panels are an easy target for opponents to place devastating traps. The star gain effect isn't as impactful (as you would need to negate a Norma 4 trap or higher just to break even), and is more useful for slightly covering the expensive cost of the card.
In order for Stiff Crystal to be worth running in the player's deck, there must be Trap cards in the game. If no opponents are playing with Trap cards and isn't active, then Stiff Crystal effectively becomes a dead card. Inversely, if the player plans to bring Trap cards themself, they run the risk of having their own traps negated if also decking Stiff Crystal. This especially applies if the player plans to use beneficial traps such as 
Piggy Bank, as Stiff Crystal can also negate those.
