Counter Trap Card
Counter Trap Cards (Japanese: カウンター
Characteristics[edit]
As a Trap Card, Counter Trap Cards must first be set before they can be activated, and cannot be activated in the same turn they are set. After activation and resolution, Counter Trap Cards are sent to the Graveyard.
As Spell Speed 3 cards, Counter Trap Cards can be activated in response to all other cards/effects, and only other Counter Trap Cards can be activated in response to them.
Only the activation of a Counter Trap Card is Spell Speed 3; other activated effects described on the Counter Trap Card beside its on-activation effect are not Spell Speed 3 (e.g.: the GY effect of "Orcust Crescendo").
Most Counter Trap Cards have activation condition that only allow them to be activated in response to the activations of other cards or effects (usually to negate those activations/effects), although there are others that can be activated as Chain Link 1 if their activation condition is met, such as "Black Horn of Heaven", "Negate Attack", or "Parthian Shot".
Counter Trap Cards can be activated during the Damage Step.[1]
