Rapacious Vermin and Traps (not a bug)

[viperbyte]

I destroyed a death trap with my rapacious vermin but the same trap also killed my vermin. Is this a bug ? If it is and has it been reported? And if it has can you please post the link?

P.S. I havent tested it with other traps.

Hi. Traps will still go off even if set to be destroyed. We've contemplated having a special rule to say they can't trigger if being destroyed, but that would be additional rules for people to remember. As it stands, any card in the game has an opportunity to trigger off its own destruction or an event which led to it (e.g. Rapacious Vermin being summoned destroys a trap, but the trap should get to respond to the summoning or its own destruction) before leaving play and going to the graveyard. Without that opportunity, many card effects would not be possible.

Thank you Gondo for clearing it up.

But traps having a deathrattle is kinda frustrating.
