This is the first monster EVER that can treat itself as a Continuous TRAP, right?  That by itself is interesting.

 

As for its (3) Effect, the only monster it can Summon with this effect currently (as of the time of this post) is Vyon, which isn't bad by any means, but it's quite restrictive especially compared to the Manga version which could SS any "HERO" from the Deck.  Granted, this could also mean that the other "Vision HERO"s will be coming out soon, so there'd be more options to choose from.

Funny how long it took for Vision HERO to actually become an Archetype in the real game. I don't really know their thing, but whatever it is, this is a weird card in any way, but I guess HERO have always had some weird stuff. Anyway, weird to see a monster that becomes a Continuous Trap, but I guess it has to do that since Continuous Spell can't have Quick Effects.

Becoming Continuous Traps seems to be the gimmick of Vision HEROs, from what I've seen on the Wikia.  Specifically, most of the low-Level V-HEROs have effects that place then in the S/T Zone from the GY when you take damage, can "Revive" themselves from the S/T Zone by tributing a HERO (Vision HERO specifically in the Manga), and have effects that activate when Summoned from the S/T Zone.  Vyon, meanwhile, can be used to set up his companions by sending them from the Deck to the GY.  And then there's Witch Raider, who can be Tribute Summoned by Tributing your Trap Cards (as well as monsters), which the Vision HEROs can be treated as.
