Trap Cards

Trap cards are one of the three types of cards in the TCG and HCCG. They are color-coded purple and have their own Attribute, "TRAP".

A player can activate as many Trap cards as he/she wants during a turn, but Trap cards cannot be activated directly from the hand. They must be Set first, and cannot be activated the turn they are Set.

There are 3 different types of Trap cards.

Normal Trap Cards
Normal Traps are Spell Speed 2. They have a one-time use and are sent to the Graveyard after being resolved.

Continuous Trap Cards
Continuous Traps are Spell Speed 2. They remain on the field, even after activation, until they are removed by a card effect.

Counter Trap Cards
Counter Traps are Spell Speed 3. They are the most powerful kind of Trap card, and are sent to the Graveyard after being resolved.
