Forum:Continuous Trap to redirect effect damage

I'm skipping over my card list to simplify this: I need help on knowing some cards for a deck involving a few trap monsters.

1) Is there a continuous trap/spell (preferably trap) that would prevent or redirect effect damage while it's on the field? I know the monster, ""Prime Material Dragon" is useful for this, but I'd prefer more: People I play against often have more ways of negating monster effects than spells; or especially, traps.

2) What is a good field spell to work with when working with traps/trap monsters? I'm still not sure on what all monsters I'm using yet, so I'm looking at Artifact Monsters (Fairy) or Reptilian (Reptile) right now. I do plan to use both, XYZ and Syncro Summon, but not Fusion summon.

3) Are there any monsters or cards, by flip effect or otherwise, that lets you add a continuous trap from the deck (or graveyard even) to your hand or field?

4) Considering I plan to use trap monsters, Jinzo, while uncommon, becomes a ban. While IIRC, by OCG at least, you can use fiendish chain when he's being summoned to prevent his effect from activating, is there a better/more reliable way of making sure you're ready to stop him when or before he's deployed? Either by Trap, Spell, Synco, or XYZ?

I'm not looking for just the "best" answer, just different ideas I may be able to combine or select from. Thank you! }}
