I've had several debates with people over this and noone agrees on a correct answer so I'm hoping the higher ups can clarify this.

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by offering 2 Level 6 or higher Spellcaster-Type monsters on your side of the field as Tributes. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, you can negate the activation of Trap Cards and destroy them.
The question arises when someone activates a Counter Trap card (Spell Speed 3). I've argued that you can't use the SoDM's ability to negate those traps since Multi-Trigger effects have a Spell Speed of 2. Other people I was debating this with have said you could use his effect to negate any trap that is being activated while he is on the field be it a normal trap, continuous trap, or counter trap. (We are all in agreement his ability does not let you negate continous traps that have already been activated before he was brought to the field).
As a part 2 question to this. Depending on how his ability is ruled, does this mean he can also negate trap cards that are activated during the damage step in battle (where normally the only spell/trap cards that can be activated are those which affect ATK/DEF and counter traps to negate said activation of those spell/trap cards).
