Archive Trap Hole

Archive Trap Hole (OCG Name: Pitfall Under the Library)

Normal Trap

Activate when your opponent activates a Normal Spell Card. When the effect of that Normal Spell Card resolves: Banish (2/3?) cards from either the top or the bottom of your opponent's Deck.




Don't know whether or not 3 would be too much, so I may make it 2.

Also, I think the name serves as a double reference to Magic the Gathering, where a Deck is referred to as a "Library". It's been a while since I've played MtG, so bear with me on that.




Anyways, critique and comment.

I question the effectiveness of this card. The most obvious application is Spellbooks, but they actually like having their stuff banished because they can just pull it back with that one Spellbook (OCG name is The Alma, can't remember the TCG name) later. I guess it would hurt "draw your deck" builds that need everything to work, but I don't see many other applications.

Okay, I just about failed hard because I initually read this as "Active Trap Hole". Moving swiftly along...

All I see this being used to counter is Exodia, not that I mind that. However, as Baker's Man said, this thing doesn't hurt Spellbooks, and can really backfire against E-Drags. I would change "Normal Spell Card" to "Continuous Spell/Trap Card".

Even if this were just a Plop with no activation conditions like Jar of Greed, all it does is cut a random tiny swipe from your opponent's Deck. Card presence is more important and harder to come by in Yugimans than in MAGIC.
