Trap Striker

EARTH Level 3 [Warrior/Tuner/Effect] 600/200

You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by banishing 1 Trap Card from your Graveyard. This card can attack your opponent directly. If it inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent: You can destroy 1 Trap Card from your Deck.

 

So this card is a Trap version of Spell Striker with pretty much the same stats.

However, this one is a Tuner, and has traded the ability to block damage for a Trap milling effect, which is supposed to combo with cards like "The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil", where you connect a direct attack and then get that extra wall in the future.

It also was made with "Treacherous Trap Hole" in mind since this is so searchable that you could probably run it at more than 1 "Treacherous Trap Hole", and that is essentially like having a rogue deck version of "Ritual Beast Steeds". Another plus is trying to reinforce Uria boosts a little bit.

Finally, I don't fully remember what it was, but I remember there was an old card or two that activated upon destruction somewhere... or maybe there are just those that need to be face-down when destroyed to activate.

 

Anyways... =D

I think this card is nice.

Although at first glance it would look a bit uncreative as an opposite/counterpart to Spell Striker, not only this is not an issue because it was intended, but also the additional perks you added succeded in spicing this card up in my opinion: turning it into a Tuner takes is to the next level, and the "Destroy 1 Trap from the deck" can trigger or enable cute stuff such as "Shaddoll Roots", or simply pseudo-milling a Trap such as Breaktrhough Skill.
