My first card!

I'm new to making cards, so any constructive criticism is encouraged.

So, I am making cards on my iPad and thus, cannot post the picture so:

 

Spell Card

continuous

 

Effect: While this card remains on the field, any destroyed trap cards are sent back to their owners hands.

I'd be interested to know the name you chose for the card.

 

Something to mention: If you wanted it to work on traps which have activated, since they aren't destroyed on resolution (normally) it wouldn't work. I would suggest placing instead "any Trap Card that is activated is returned to the hand instead of being sent to the Graveyard on resolution" If this is what you want, I can see some potential in regards to this being used in some Trap Heavy decks, especially with counter traps, and, while it would hurt consistency, some combos might be forthcoming. I can't think of anything that would really want this, but I'm sure there is something

 

Of course, I may be looking too much into this, and you may just want the effect to simply return destroyed traps to the hand. If this is the case, it is probably a bit weak, as Traps are slow enough to begin with, and this basically nullifies them for a turn. Yes, there is some potential in the long run of the game, but if your opponent is not playing a fast deck they are probably going to target the card, which has no protection. Combine it with the common Twin Twisters, and you have a card which nukes the field and a facedown/Spell/Trap. 

 

It is a simple card, and I don't really know what to suggest to fix it. However, I would recommend reusing this idea either into another card with some more meta potential or even an archetype. Best of luck either way!
