'''Continuous Trap Cards''' are Trap Cards that stay on the field after activation. The effect(s) of these cards will remain active until the [[owner]] either cannot maintain a cost or condition, or it is [[destroyed]]. One example of a Continuous Trap Card is the [[Spellbinding Circle]], which effectively freezes an enemy monster on the field, so it cannot change [[battle position]], nor declare an attack.

'''Continuous Trap Cards''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|永|えい}}{{Ruby|続|ぞく}}{{Ruby|罠|トラップ}}カード ''Eizoku Torappu Kādo'') are a subcategory of [[Trap Card]]s that remains face-up on the field after activation.
  
−
Most Continuous Trap Cards require a cost to maintain, or possess a conditon under which the card is [[destroyed]]. Two Examples of these are [[Imperial Order]], and [[Call of the Haunted]]. [[Imperial Order]] requires a cost of 700 [[Life Points]] to maintain, but [[Call of the Haunted]] is [[destroyed]] when the monster used with it is [[destroyed]].
+
== Characteristics ==
 +
As a Trap Card, Continuous Trap Cards must first be [[set]] before they can be activated, and cannot be activated in the same turn they are set. Continuous Trap Cards feature the default Trap Card [[Spell Speed]] of [[Spell Speed 2]].
  
−
Another such example of a Continuous Trap Card is [[Royal Decree]], which [[negate]]'s [[Trap Card]]'s effects. However, since it's still [[Spell Speed 2]], it cannot be used against cards like [[Magic Drain]], [[Seven Tools of the Bandit]], [[Negate Attack]], or [[Trap Jammer]], since they are all [[Counter Trap Cards]], and thus all [[Spell Speed 3]].
+
=== Must remain on-field to resolve on-field effect ===
 +
Like other Spell/Trap Cards that remain face-up on the field after activation, a Continuous Trap Card must remain face-up on-field to resolve its activated on-field effect, unless said effect specifically moves the card to an off-field location as a [[cost]].
  
−
You can activate Continuous Trap Cards, and activate their Ignition-like effects on the same Chain. For example, when your opponent activates "[[Monster Reborn]]" you can activate "[[Royal Oppression]]" and activate its effect on the same chain.
+
If a Continuous Trap Card is removed from the field after effect activation but before resolution, the activated effect will resolve without effect.
  
−
Also, cards such as [[Chain Burst]] and [[Curse of Darkness]], have to be [[face-up]] on the field before the card it inflicts damage against is activated; you cannot chain these cards to the activation of the card type mentioned, and still maintain the effect of inflicting damage. This is because the timing has been missed; the card in question has already been activated.
+
=== Activating the card and effect in the same Chain Link ===
 +
As long as they both meet their [[activation conditions]], a Continuous Trap Card and exactly one of its [[Trigger-like Effect]]s or [[Quick-like Effect]]s can both be activated during the same [[Chain Link]]. For example, when a Set "[[Dark Contract with the Witch]]" is activated, its effect to destroy a card can be activated in the same Chain Link.<ref name="PRB 128">{{cite book |title=Yu-Gi-Oh!

+
If a Continuous Trap Card has an optional Trigger-like Effect or Quick-like Effect that can be activated during the [[Damage Step]] and that can be activated in the same Chain Link as the card itself, that Continuous Trap Card can also be activated during the Damage Step as long as the effect and card are activated in the same Chain Link. However, [[mandatory effect|mandatory]] Trigger-like Effects and Quick-like Effects cannot be activated in the same Chain Link as the card during the Damage Step.
  
−
==Example==
+
If an effect's activation conditions include "''while this card is face-up on the field''" (e.g. "[[All-Out Attacks]]") or "''while this card is already face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone''" (e.g. "[[Cyber Summon Blaster]]"), that effect cannot meet its activation timing before the Continuous Trap Card has been activated, so that effect cannot be activated in the same Chain Link as the card itself.

A Continuous Trap Card cannot activate an effect in the same Chain Link as the card itself if that effect sends itself to the Graveyard as a cost (e.g. "[[Yang Zing Unleashed]]") or banishes itself as a cost (e.g. "[[Ghoti Fury]]"),<ref name="PRB 128"/> because the Continuous Trap Card is not face-up on the field at activation; these effects typically specify that the card must be sent/banished while face-up in order to clarify this, although some do not (e.g. "[[Sentence of Doom]]", "[[Simorgh Sky Battle]]") but still function the same way regardless. If a Continuous Trap Card has both an activation effect and a Trigger-like or Quick-like Effect, that other effect cannot be activated in the same Chain Link as the activation of the card itself, because only one effect can be activated per Chain Link, even if the activation effect is optional.

Continuous icon

Continuous Trap Cards (Japanese: 永（えい）続（ぞく）罠（トラップ）カード Eizoku Torappu Kādo) are a subcategory of Trap Cards that remains face-up on the field after activation.

Characteristics

As a Trap Card, Continuous Trap Cards must first be set before they can be activated, and cannot be activated in the same turn they are set. Continuous Trap Cards feature the default Trap Card Spell Speed of Spell Speed 2.

Must remain on-field to resolve on-field effect

Like other Spell/Trap Cards that remain face-up on the field after activation, a Continuous Trap Card must remain face-up on-field to resolve its activated on-field effect, unless said effect specifically moves the card to an off-field location as a cost.

If a Continuous Trap Card is removed from the field after effect activation but before resolution, the activated effect will resolve without effect.

Activating the card and effect in the same Chain Link

As long as they both meet their activation conditions, a Continuous Trap Card and exactly one of its Trigger-like Effects or Quick-like Effects can both be activated during the same Chain Link. For example, when a Set "Dark Contract with the Witch" is activated, its effect to destroy a card can be activated in the same Chain Link.[1]

If a Continuous Trap Card has an optional Trigger-like Effect or Quick-like Effect that can be activated during the Damage Step and that can be activated in the same Chain Link as the card itself, that Continuous Trap Card can also be activated during the Damage Step as long as the effect and card are activated in the same Chain Link. However, mandatory Trigger-like Effects and Quick-like Effects cannot be activated in the same Chain Link as the card during the Damage Step.

If an effect's activation conditions include "while this card is face-up on the field" (e.g. "All-Out Attacks") or "while this card is already face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone" (e.g. "Cyber Summon Blaster"), that effect cannot meet its activation timing before the Continuous Trap Card has been activated, so that effect cannot be activated in the same Chain Link as the card itself.

A Continuous Trap Card cannot activate an effect in the same Chain Link as the card itself if that effect sends itself to the Graveyard as a cost (e.g. "Yang Zing Unleashed") or banishes itself as a cost (e.g. "Ghoti Fury"),[1] because the Continuous Trap Card is not face-up on the field at activation; these effects typically specify that the card must be sent/banished while face-up in order to clarify this, although some do not (e.g. "Sentence of Doom", "Simorgh Sky Battle") but still function the same way regardless. If a Continuous Trap Card has both an activation effect and a Trigger-like or Quick-like Effect, that other effect cannot be activated in the same Chain Link as the activation of the card itself, because only one effect can be activated per Chain Link, even if the activation effect is optional.

Additionally, the Trigger-like Effects of the cards "Coffin Seller",[2] "Light Spiral",[3] "Natural Disaster",[4] "Overdoom Line",[5] "PSY-Frame Accelerator",[6] "Spirit's Invitation",[7] and "Swiftstrike Armor"[8] cannot be activated in the same Chain Link as the card itself.
