Level 11 Trap Card Support - Phantom Trickster

[gmaster1991]

 

Phantom Trickster

 

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by having 8 or more Trap Cards in your Graveyard and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. When this card is Special Summoned, you can Set up to 1 of each type of Trap Card (Normal, Continuous, or Counter) directly from your Graveyard. You can only use this effect of "Phantom Trickster" once per Duel. All Normal Trap Cards you control are treated as Counter Trap Cards.

Isn't it little bit hard to get 8 Trap Cards in your Graveyard and even when you succesffuly summon your monster, how you gona use your Trap Cards? I mean okey you can use some of them to counter your opponents Spell and Trap Cards but nobody is gona attack you look at your monsters ATK and DEF. I think your monster should have 0 ATK and DEF then you have a biger chance that your opponent atacks your monster and then you can activate your Trap Cards. I like the idea very cool.

That's why you wouldn't set cards like mirror force.  This thing has so much potential.  You can recycle your Solemn Warning or Torrential Tribute, as well as getting back that fiendish chain you might need late game, and maybe that Dark Bribe.  Not all Traps are used simply to protect against attacks.
