Counter Trap Cards

Counter Trap cards are a kind of Trap card in the TCG and HCCG. They are the most powerful kind of Trap card because they are Spell Speed 3, meaning that a Counter Trap card can only be chained to by another Counter Trap card. They have a one-time use and are sent to the Graveyard after being resolved.

The Triptile archetype revolves around using many Counter Trap cards as a core part of their strategy, including the archetype Counter Trap, Triptile Sliptile.

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