Hi! I guess I don't exactly count as a new player, but I'm pretty excited about the Unchained cards announced today and wanted to try messing with them in Lab.

My question is this: Unchained Syncretism (and Soul of Rage and the rest, but they aren't as relevant here) allows you to link summon with your monster and an opponent's immediately after the trap effect resolves; does linking away a monster with Syncretism count as removing a card from the field with a trap effect for the purposes of the Labrynth monsters?

I know you can't use Rage on a towers, which makes me feel like the answer might be "yes," but the rules about conducting game actions with card effects are so confusing that I'm still not sure. Anything helps!
