Forum:Confirmation

Hi guys just to confirm 2 things, some of these "Mokey Mokey"s i'm playing against don't believe me...

1: What can counter "Counter Traps"?

-

I) P1 activates "The Shallow Grave" II) P2 activates "Mystical Space Typhoon"

2: Is "The Shallow Grave" sent to the graveyard after applying it's effect? Or is it pointless, and only should be used on face down "Spell" and "Trap" cards, unless they are continous, or field cards?
