Seems like we may get some support that works with Virus cards, so I figured I would make something that supports them. Simply, this card can cover the ATK and DEF for all the Virus Traps we have so far, simply discard a DARK monster, and you get to choose from doubling ATK or DEF, but halving the reverse, so you can pick exactly what kind you want. Additionally, if it's Tributed by a Trap effect, you get to banish another DARK monster from your GY to add it and a Normal Trap back to your hand, so you can continue to use the same Virus Trap and this card easily.

You can only use each effect of “Virus Wraith” once per turn. If this card is Tributed by a Trap effect: You can banish 1 other DARK monster from your GY, then target 1 Normal Trap in your GY; add both this card and that target from your GY to your hand. (Quick Effect): You can discard 1 DARK monster; apply 1 of these effects until the end of this turn.
● Your opponent takes no battle damage, also double this card's ATK and halve its DEF.
● Halve any battle damage your opponent takes, also double this card's DEF and halve this card's ATK.

The wording is a bit off, all the Virus trap cards tribute for cost, not effect. They way you'd want to phrase would be:

If this card is Tributed by a Trap card:

Not "If this card is Tributed by a Trap effect:"

 

I know the ATK/DEF manipulation is to have a target for the Virus cards, but it's cool to see more monsters you can normal summon to out problematic monsters like Dark Law, Winda, Vanity's Ruler, etc.

 

The GY effect is pretty nice. Traps aren't particularly common as they once were, especially normal traps, but I can see some decks like Darklords adding this card to recycle their resources. Darklords could actually play some of the virus cards quite effectively now that I think of it so this card could see some play there.

I suppose that's true, though the ideal wording would probably be "Tributed to activated a Trap effect", as I wanted to cover Continuous Traps that have effect that activate after activation as well, while those are probably pretty limited, only one I can think of is Naturia Sacred Tree and it won't even work with this, it was a choice I made from the start and want to stick with it, so I'll figure out a better wording later.
