How do you know if a trap card is continuous?

To determine if a trap card is continuous, you can look for the card type on the card, which should indicate “Continuous Trap” or “Trap Card” with a description that mentions it remains on the field after activation, and check the card’s effect to see if it has a passive effect that persists while the card is on the board or a Quick-like or Trigger-like Effect. The card’s text will typically specify if it is a Continuous Trap, allowing you to identify it as such and understand its unique characteristics and playstyle implications.
