* Firstly, cards like "[[Dark Simorgh]]", "[[Searchlightman]]", and "[[Light of Intervention]]" will prevent "Ghostrick" monsters from being Set or flipped face-down in first place. Cards like "[[Jurrac Velphito]]" and "[[Search Striker]]" are also dangerous to "Ghostricks" because they destroy face-down monsters immediately without them ever flipping face-up.
* Other cards which prevent battle position changes, whether of the "Ghostrick" player's monsters or the opponent's, such as "[[Gaap the Divine Soldier]]" and "[[Gravity Axe - Grarl]]" can halt most, though often not all, of the "Ghostrick" player's moves. In addition, a monster Summoned by "[[Raging Cloudian]]" will be nearly impossible for the "Ghostrick" player to get rid of.
** The debut of [[LinkMonster]] Monsters s and Master Rule 4 have further aggravated this, as their immunity to being Set severely limits the Ghostrick user's options (Though both Ghostrick Ghoul and Ghostrick Dullahan can make quick work of them.)
* "[[Goblin Fan]]" is a continuous trap that can destroy any monster card that is Level 2 or below the second it's Flip-summoned. This includes about 2/3 of the Ghostrick monsters, and since many of them rely on their Flip effects, rather than raw power, this one trap card can be devastating to any Ghostrick user's strategy.
* Most "Ghostricks" depends on their [[Field Spell Card]]s, "[[Ghostrick Mansion]]" and "[[Ghostrick Museum]]", to deal damage, and will struggle to do much [[Battle damage]] to your opponent without it, due to most of them having low ATK stats. This can be even worse with cards like "[[Spell Shattering Arrow]]" and "[[Eradicator Epidemic Virus]]" around.
