Trap rewording

With "during X, do Y" you could only play 1 Trap though. The current wording "Only usable before range is determined on the first round of combat." allows playing multiple copies if you happen to have those in hand, right?

Whether the wording would be any clearer, I am not sure if there would be big difference. The bigger change would be the one mentioned above preventing cycling of multiple Traps on the first round of combat.

This is what I almost suggested a couple of times, but never got around to writing the post.

This simplifies the card quite a bit. I already demonstrate it with counters on.

So, yes, full-heartedly yes.

Ooh yes...sorry I actually paid more attention to the bolded part than the rest of the adjustment. The counter option would make the function of the card clearer, although just for the sake of how many combat cards combat decks usually need to stuff in I would like to leave open the option of cycling multiple Traps during the first round of combat.

Yes, this is a very good clarification of the workings and intent of the original card.

Has "during X, do Y" ever interfered with the playing of the same card with 'during' as its text? Will this wording prohibit the playing of more than one? Will another card with the same exact wording be stopped from being played after this one? I'm having a feeling that the answer to all of these is probably 'No' and Khalid can rest easy but I could've missed something.

To be honest I am not 100% sure about this but the possibility came to my mind because multiple vampire abilities limit their usage to once per action or turn. If I'm wrong then indeed I guess there's no worry but if change of wording would limit number of playable cards then it's worth of considering whether the effect is negative or positive.
