Amazing video! I’ve been looking to upgrade my traptrix deck for a while. Glad I found this video before YCS! If possible, would you be able make a test hand video with this deck?
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, this video was from a few months ago and the format has changed pretty heavily. I don’t know if I would still play Traptrix, as Ryzeal is just the better choice (similar strategy). I can definitely look into revisiting the deck in the future, time will tell.
You can tech in Grave of the Super Ancient Organism. Also Baromet the Sacred Sheep Shrub is a good way to recycle traps for Rafflesia and an extender. It also plays under the Arachnocampa Plant/Insect lock.
Yes, Baromet is nice but you can always loop dionea with holetea, sera, and allomerus. There’s not too many reasons to give up an extra deck slot for it. Grave of the super ancient is a good tech, too. Definitely side material
@@MammalsGaming issue is, Allo is a HUGE hand trap target that kinda cries if you don't get its one use. Baro can do it for free (so long as another xyz has material) and also boast a win/win. If you don't get the Dionea reset with the special summon, you get the reset for Raffles next turn with the shuffle draw. Honestly it might be optimal to get Bapho in there - anywhere you'd want the Allomerus loop Bapho boats it but with better tools... In fact, having both Allo and Bapho might actually let you use Allo's second ability to steal monsters that Rafflesia or Trap Holes get rid of if you've already used Pinguicula for the turn
This is not possible because rafflesia text specifically states “ traptrix monsters except ‘traptrix rafflesia’ “ so if your doing a “lock” your essentially cheating
How does this list deal with big boss monsters that have protection and need to be attacked over, like Purrley Noir? I personally run Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax, as it functions under Bagooska, but I know Accesscode Talker is probably a more popular/better option that does the same and can pop a card too.
One tech i use in the extra for removal is Number: 101 Silent Honor Arc, it targets but doest destroy or banish, ans because it just adds to card as an attachment it also doesnt trigger leaving field effects.
in most cases aty and pingu together can run over anything thats reasonable. the most annoying cards are those that are at 3500 AND unaffected, but at that point, no deck deals with those if they dont have underworld goddess in their extra deck.
@@SamolonXDYT Outside of Underworld, there are Kaiju, Utopia package, Accesscode Talker, and what I personally run in Traptrix, Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax. He had already responded that the deck did not have answers for high attack + immune monsters, which is fair enough if you are not really encountering those enough to warrant running anything against them.
It turns off half of the best handtraps in the game (Droll, Ogre, Veiler, Crow), single handedly turns off combo lines for 60%+ of decks, and if activated on your own turn, is almost impossible to respond to.
I’ve seen some combos involving Merrymaker to Sargas to Zeus or a TY-PHON into Zeus, ik you said you didn’t like Zeus but would those combos be viable?
I think all the ragnaraika links are good but just not with trix because they don’t link climb you wanna end on sera and raff atleast if you can extend more it’s probably ping or Cularia
The raika cards are decent but take up too much extra deck space. The biggest disadvantage of traptrix is the lack of generic utility extra deck options. I personally don’t feel that the raika cards are worth the space
I like to mix the ragnaraika cards with traptrix and a hint of rikka. Rikka princess is an exctender and inturruption and paired with jasmine, you can bridge into either engine
Set up sera, set trap. On their turn you use sera to set holutea from deck and snowball from there. Try to keep under 5 summons as you are susceptible to Nib under shifter. You can also make bagooska if needed depending on the matchup.
I’m not the biggest fan of Atraz and Vesi; Dionea is the most important card to keep for follow up, as it can get you both a monster and trap, so I believe 2 is absolutely necessary. As for Campa, it’s just the best extender the deck has. Also, the backrow protection really helps.
Personally i found the drawbacks to be too heavy compared to the effect. I go into S:P almost every game, and would lose out on a lot of utility if I activated pulse from hand. If impulse were playable, it’d be a totally different story.
Never gave that one much thought haha. If i were to play it, it would require me to open both it and shifter. If i open it without shifter, i have to make sure the gy is empty. If i see it late game, it’s dead. It’s a cute card but i don’t see the full merit in running it
It doesn’t enable anything just by itself, and I needed to keep the main deck count at a clean 40 for shifter. Pudica is insane, but just doesn’t provide enough value by herself. Mantis and Myrm are both the better 1 card normals.
Now that I have S:P, the interaction between her and Pingu is CRACKED.
My favorite interaction in the deck. Every turn they go -1
How does that interaction work?
S:p banishes something, ping attaches on a new chain. They dont get it back and your s:p comes back in end phase, allowing you to do it next turn over and over
nice

just bought a traptrix and now i read this lol
Nice. Very similar to mine ^^. THat being said, I don't really like shifter, just because it limits you with Raff a lot not being able to use her.

2 rafflesia is a good go to because you create a lock where nothing can be targeted or detroyed by card effects or by battle
This is not possible because rafflesia text specifically states “ traptrix monsters except ‘traptrix rafflesia’ “ so if your doing a “lock” your essentially cheating
@@YelixRj you are correct that was my mistake because of how its worded
I like utopia the lightning. I'm old school tho.
What up my MAMMALS!
No Irmistil? I love summoning it since it’s fairly easy to get 5 monsters with Traptrix.
Just too easy to get nibbed :/

Great point! It doesn’t 😅 thankfully that deck isn’t popular

utopia combo, 10k atk only use 2 level 4 monster.

Trust me, try traptrix with fiendsmith and duck of demise, thats insane. 3 normal per turn and incredible and powerful endboard
Once it comes out yeah!
What is duck of demise?
@@luckyilagged2424its duke of demise and will take quite a while to release in tcg
what sleeves do you use for main deck
Dragon Shield Classic Whites.
What makes shifter a win button ?
It turns off half of the best handtraps in the game (Droll, Ogre, Veiler, Crow), single handedly turns off combo lines for 60%+ of decks, and if activated on your own turn, is almost impossible to respond to.
I’ve seen some combos involving Merrymaker to Sargas to Zeus or a TY-PHON into Zeus, ik you said you didn’t like Zeus but would those combos be viable?
Those are viable. I just would rather see more generic utility cards than a 5 mat zeus. Personal preference!
Has anyone used the Link 3 Ragnaraika? It lets you search for the trap that pops. Could be useful for a link climb, thoughts?
I think all the ragnaraika links are good but just not with trix because they don’t link climb you wanna end on sera and raff atleast if you can extend more it’s probably ping or Cularia

how do you play traptrix go first under shifter?
Set up sera, set trap. On their turn you use sera to set holutea from deck and snowball from there. Try to keep under 5 summons as you are susceptible to Nib under shifter. You can also make bagooska if needed depending on the matchup.
Do you like Atrax and vesiculo? Instead of running 2 dionea and 2 campa I run one of each and one of each of Atrax and vesi

Why not dominus purge?

Play Bystial Control next
👀👀
Playin shifter and no treacherous trap hole??? Why?
Never gave that one much thought haha. If i were to play it, it would require me to open both it and shifter. If i open it without shifter, i have to make sure the gy is empty. If i see it late game, it’s dead. It’s a cute card but i don’t see the full merit in running it
Why 2 pudica?
It doesn’t enable anything just by itself, and I needed to keep the main deck count at a clean 40 for shifter. Pudica is insane, but just doesn’t provide enough value by herself. Mantis and Myrm are both the better 1 card normals.
Bro did you listen to him in the vid..its so disrespectful.
So half the deck is hand traps.....whatever
If you want a halfway competitive list, you must.
That's modern YGO for you, lol😂 play that or die
I’ve always thought traptrix was a cool deck but if I played it I feel like I would be on an fbi watch list
Yeah it’s an unfortunate community
