Back Down You Go!

This replaces itself instead of burning, but doesn't work with Rafflesia and is already a restrictive battle trap. It's on par with Sakaretsu Armour which tells you something. A self-replacing Mirror Force would be fine even. Make it that.

I think you worded it wrong btw. The grammar is a bit off.

 

"If a monster declares an attack, and it was Summoned this turn: destroy it, and if you do, you can set 1 "Back Down You Go!" directly from your deck."

 

It's not as powerful as the Mirror Forces, since it only gets rid of 1 monster. You might as well as juice it up to banish the monster face-down, and include that the set "Back Down You Go!" can be activated the turn that it is set. This makes it more of a deterrence.

 

However, if you drew all 3 in a starting hand... It'll suck for sure.

... eh?

 

I mean, it's slow, it doesn't do a lot, and it's just a "+1" in techncality alone.

 

Name doesn't actualy fit the car, either. On average, monsters would be summoned from the ED/Hand/Deck, with some Grave, so it would make more sense to simply return them to whence they came/the deck.

 

Even then, I'm not sure why this isn't a trap hole or why it's restricted to monsters summoned that turn. Yeah, you shouldn't design strictly better stuff, but it's not a trap hole (meaning Trap Hole of Spikes isn't outclassed) and Skuretsu Armor is beyong unplayable. It's still worse than MF, but at least more reasonable.
