Good enough to start playing traps again?

It's a good card, but I don't think it would see much play in main deck and on master duel. In side deck at irl tourneys however it would be crazy, good way to check control decks.

Also, it depends on if it is usable directly from your hand like infinite impermanence when the requirement of the card are met.

How would this work against an Omni-negate? 
This says it can only be used if something would negate it, but what about if something simply could negate it?

i'm pretty confused, how can this card be negated if it is setted? is it a counter to Infinite Impermanence? this card would never be able to be activated, because almost no cards can negate set cards

It is meant to be used against cards like royal decree that would prevent the card from being activated in the first place. Cards like that prevent the duelist from activating the card. It isn't supposed to be used against cards that can Negate it.

Infinite impermanence doesn't prevent you from activating cards, it only negates cards that have already been activated. This card is supposed to be used if something like Royal Decree would prevent the player from activating a card.

I could be wrong, but Royal Decree (like Impermanence) does not prevent activation -- merely negates the effect. Maybe something like Jinzo?

jinzo prevent the activation, but by ruling you aren't allowed to flip face up a trap card if jinzo prevent the activation! so "Kingslayer" can't be used because it is still treated as a trap card and you can't flip face up trap card i think

The point of Kingslayer is that if Jinzo is preventing the activation, Kingslayer would be able to be activated anyway and destroy Jinzo.

i understood that, but i don't think you can flip face up this card by ruling, but i don't know that for sure

For some reason I thought Royal Decree had the same negate activation effect as Jinzo. You're correct though Royal Decree doesn't negate activation.

Does it work on any cards besides Jinzo? My memory is failing me!
