"but you used that trap already!" trap-mage archtype

[I Hate Snatch Steal]

 

When this card is normal summoned: you can target 1 normal trap card in your graveyard; set that target. Shuffle it into the deck when it leaves the field. When this card is special summoned: you can discard 1 card, then target 1 normal trap card in your graveyard; set that target. Shuffle it into the deck when it leaves the field. You take no battle damage from battles involving this card.

 

 

When this card is normal summoned: you can target 1 trap card in any graveyard; set that target (on your field), and you can activate it this turn. Shuffle that card into the deck when it leaves the field.

 

 

When this card is summoned: you can target 1 trap card in your graveyard; set that target and you can activate it this turn. Shuffle it into the deck when it leaves the field. When this card in its owner's possesion is destroyed: add 1 "Trap-Mage" card from your deck to your hand.

 

 

Each of these effects can be used once per turn: *Target 1 trap card in your graveyard; set that target and you can activate it this turn. Shuffle it into the deck when it leaves the field. *When you activate a trap card: you can target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; destroy that target." (This is a quick effect).

 

 

Shuffle 1 “Trap-Mage” monster from your hand or graveyard into the deck to target 1 face-up card; destroy that target.

 

 

Shuffle 1 "Trap-Mage" monster from your hand or graveyard into the deck to target 1 face-up monster on the field; equip this card to that target. That equipped monster’s effects are negated and cannot be activated> Also it cannot attack and loses 500 ATK and DEF. When that equipped monster is destroyed: you draw 1 card.

I like the concept =]

What is the benefit when a Trap card is shuffled into the deck though?

Its less of a benefit and more of a detriment to balance out the set. If the card is allowed to return to the graveyard, you could just use it again with your next trap-mage and so on. Imagine being able to play mirror force 6 times when you only have to draw it once for example.

Oh I see. I didn't see that at first >_<

I'd personally prefer it if the Trap Cards were banished after use. After all, we're starting to get an archetype that can tutor certain kinds of Traps, like the Traptrix.
