How do you stop Super Poly?

[FFrazien]

If it's even possible, ever since they banned Imperial Order the card is pain.

[ChaosBahamut]

An already active Magician's Right Hand (as its negation effect is not one that's manually activated) will do the trick, as would Spell Canceler or Silent Swordsman LV7. (essentially monster versions of Imperial Order; SS LV7 won't prevent Super Poly from being activated, but his continuous effect will ensure it doesn't go off)

Sky Scourge Invicil, if tribute summoned by using a Light Fairy, will also work.

Beyond continuous effects though, there isn't anything you can do to stop Super Poly. (an already-set Infinite Impermanence could, in theory, work as well, but that requires a fair bit of luck and your opponent messing up by not activating Super Poly in response to I.I. AND making the mistake of activating Super Poly in the same column I.I. was on)

If you're playing against Branded, it's a big advantage if your deck doesn't use dark and light attribute, since almost all of their fusion monsters require dark and light materials to be summoned. If you are playing a water or wind deck, their Super poly will simply be dead card. Some players include the Mudragon of the swamp for this reason, but it is very situational (can only really get rid of Baronne and Apollousa for example)

[Papa Shekels]

You can't. Technically it is possible with the very niche methods described above, but the whole selling point of the card is that it's an unstoppable* board breaker with a cost and given that you have a target matching the active board state. Only thing you can really do is try to play around it when facing decks like branded, either by not committing to just one big monster or maybe setting up ways to recur your monsters if they get fusioned away

Magic Deflector beforehand

[Zederech]

its trash spells like super poly and Runick in general that are the reason why i run Magic Jammer - discard 1, negate and destroy. Makes runick trash ragequit upon negation.
for better gains, there's Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell - at the price of one spell card, you can permaban super poly from being used the entire duel.
For the Egyptian Gods chadsters, there's the Wicked Avatar. Three turns should be more than enough for you to end the opponent.

The first two don't work on Super Poly. The Wicked Avatar does, and one turn of floodgate is usually enough to win a duel. Having it linger back onto your own turn just seals the deal.

Return fire with a Super Poly using the monster they made using yours.

[Merilirem]

Floodgates that stop fusions or special summons work. You can't respond outside of niche cases but setting up defenses or playing around it by never summoning two darks can work pretty well. Just depends what you are running yourself.

Similarly, you can snipe their Extra Deck so that they don't have the necessary fusion monster anymore.

[Astrallight]

Play cards that lock him out of his extra deck.

Non-fusion area continuous trap who shutdown all fusion summon is a must have if you are fusion haters

Sad they not done continuous traps like it for each type of extra deck monster ( who stay on field and not remove after some turn like the one for syncho monster)

Fun fact: you can activate Super Polymerization from hand in response to effects like this and it will resolve before they do. You can't activate anything in response to Super Poly.
