I'm playing Traptrix since the release of Master Duel and also got some nice tops in regionals and other events since the Structure Deck drop. I didn't understand Raika at all when they were announced. Thanks for your video. I tried some test hands and I have to say it's fun! Nice deck!
I have always wanted to learn traptrix, now I can do so and have a huge advantage when these cards drop. Your way u narrate makes me want to learn all decks.
Though cool, pure Traptrix is still better than this version in my opinion since this dies easily to Nibiru and Droll. Also only being able to play 3-6 handtraps due to tight deck space means going second will suck hard. I'll still pick up the Raika cards though just to have fun with it.
I think this is more consistent than playing pure with hand traps, but you're correct. It does lose to more hand traps. I think Raika engine will be relevant at some point tho because it turns plant decks into combo machines. It just so happens Combo Decks are not good against Snake eyes unfortunately
Its a very high rolling version of traptrix. While I don't like it, Yugioh is basically a game of blowouts so I understand why you would want to high roll. What traptrix really needs is a way to go 2nd since all the traps are mostly dead going 2nd.
@@josephcourtright8071 Very true. It would be nice if they had the ability to search and set traps on the opponent's turn similar to Lab or something. Lab doesn't suffer nearly as hard going second because by the time they get their turn 1, they already had their traps set on their turn 0. The only other way I can think of is if they had more traps that can be activated from hand like imperm or evenly. Unfortunately you wouldn't have Sera up since its not even your turn yet, but its better than nothing I guess?
Someone beat me with this deck in EDOpro a few months back and immediately i went to buy a whole traptrix deck so i have it when Raika card release. Can't wait, ty for indepth tutorial on how to use them!
Personally I love to play cattycorn on my traptrix deck. When I tribute strenna with jasmine I summon cattycorn and add the field spell, then I can normal summon the Dionea added by Strenna and put another xyz on the field (with the normal summon of Dionea you can special summon a traptrix monster from the graveyard and do the xyz with these 2 monsters). When you play Jasmine and Strenna on your extra I think that is a really good card to add to the decklist.
it would have been good if you showed a combo with that continuous spell since there are 3 in the deck and you're gonna draw a lot of them. also i'm not sure if this is gonna be great. going first traptrix has never had problems, it's just bad going second but the raika engine doesn't provide much for that. it just takes space from going second cards.
I understand why people think that. But you will lose most games going second with Traptrix whether or not you play Raika. The way I see it, it's better to guarantee that you always win going first
We should find a way to summon Rafflesia in 4th or 5th summon in the combo to counter Nibiru by using Refflesia's copy effect to copy a trap that counters monster effects like gravedigger
Hey bro! I tested it, and there's really not much different. I think you play 1x each of the new cards, but I love Traptrix so I'll definitely make a new video at some point
If you play parallel exceed, you can special it when linking into sera and then go into rafflesia which is 5th summon, and you just hope you don't draw gravediggers, because when nibiru activates you can chain rafflesia and send gravediggers from deck to negate it, so basically you need a way to summon rafflesia before 5th summon
Yes great question! You can still combo with Myrmelo + Any Trap, but the board is slightly weaker because you opened one less monster. Basically Myrmeleo will search Holetuea. Then once you do normal Sera Plays you should have Sera + 2 monsters. Use the 2 monsters to Xyz summon Pinguicula. Ping searches Arachnocampa. Link summon Jasmine using Sera + Ping. Jasmine tribute Arachnocampa to summon Raika engine from deck and you get going. However if you open Myrmeleo + Any Trap + Field Spell the combo is way better. That's why I play 2x field spell
Myrmeleo must activate on summon to destroy a Spell/Trap, even if there's none to destroy. Also, since a Traptrix monster activated it's effect, this triggers Sera to set a trap
I play traptrix because I want to say you triggered my trap card. If you want to play wambo combo, IMHO there are better ways to do it. I guess we will see if this becomes standard traptrix from now on or if pure will still hold out.
If you use parallel exceed you can't use the effects of the esqueleton soldier (Unlike other Raikas, his effects works like branded fusion, so is the entire turn, and the restriction is on both effects).
Most Decks currently aren't running evenly in Main Deck, as far as I know. That means game 2 or 3 you side in crossout and evenly to cover your weakness
@@earthteamjordan could you post which monster cards are not in the traptrix structure? I want to build for when LOD comes out, but not familiar with all those cards.
I mean, he got the imperm. Thats 3 lmao. To be fair, he could cut: 1 field spell, 1 mantis, the d barrier, the thrust, and maybe a trap hole. That puts us at potentially 8, this deck doesnt need them going first, so that might be acceptable.
Traptrix doesn't want to go second in the first place. That said evenly is in the side along with dark ruler no more. Swap 2 of the evenly for a imperm and Aracho and you will probably be fine. Let's be real if you are forced to ash in traptrix you're going to lose anyway.
@@pkkiller_apathy4568 yeah, but sometimes, you lose the coinflip, its better if you dont auto lose when you go second. Id potentially play droll or something at least.
@@manchovieclemmons2380 yes but you need two names and a trap just to hope to play the game going first. Droll is the last card I would run in a coin flip. Because drawing too many had traps kills the deck going first is GG. Because you know your opponent will not let you go first after seeing you are playing traptrix. At least evenly and imperm can be used as discards but droll&shifter are a definite no go unless I know I am going second. Ash gets a pass just because of how flexible the card is but no more that 2. Because getting 3 cards you need in five cards is rough enough without handtraps.
@@pkkiller_apathy4568 maybe in pure, with this varient, any of the 6 raika starters makes a decent board. You can end on the raika board, just make serra and feel fine with a few hand traps, after all, the raika cards end on a normal trap, so you can still search pudica for an extra interrupt.
Posting combo videos without posting the decklist or doing a review that is more than us having to pause it and try to make out what card is what is a real half-assed way to do these
1) The decklist is at the beginning and end of the video. 2) He specifically mentions that he did a review of the Raika cards in another video, showing a preview on screen and a link to the video.
Woah woah woah, did you just call Traptrix "waifus"?? Hey dude did you know that the characters portrayed on the cards are children? Did you know that the artwork of Traptrix is pedophilic and suggestive? So actually...what the fuck???
"Pedophilic and suggestive" in what world do you live in man??? 😂 Do you think children at the beach wearing swimsuits are pedophilic and suggestive too?

I play traptrix since the structure deck release and it was a bomb. Now... played smartly, its holy shit
On combo #3 you could summon Rafflesia as 5. summon to be nibiru proof and end with the same board.
great video tho.
Very cool was just thinking of traptrix potential going to have to try this out when they release
This is such a good video. Explaining every step so clearly. Haven't seen it like this ever. Liked ✌️
Looks cool! I'll definitely play it in 6+ months
Looks like it only took 2 months, Raika is now out free to play

Cattycorn is a spicy tech bro thank you for the idea! You can even search stuff like Necrovalley if you dont do the dionaea play

Raika in traptrix is win more. You have less going second and you make your going first bettery making your deck more dicey.
I understand why people think that. But you will lose most games going second with Traptrix whether or not you play Raika. The way I see it, it's better to guarantee that you always win going first
1. Isn’t Ranko the best idolmaster girl that has ever hailed the mortal plan?
2. I find that Raika is 1-2 cards away from being meta.
i bought this deck for $8 on auction sites. and i really want to learn it so that i can bring it to my locals 😅
You should carry Chain Disappearance too. That ruins Snake-Eyes deck player's day. lol
Definitely a great tech choice if youre gonna go the trap-heavy option. i dont think it counts as a "hole" trap tho
We should find a way to summon Rafflesia in 4th or 5th summon in the combo to counter Nibiru by using Refflesia's copy effect to copy a trap that counters monster effects like gravedigger
You have a combo line to do so
@@kaisabakuno2964 while still having access to you ragnaraika cards?
@dfdbromeo1354 sure. Check the combo guide or (no offense!!) Use your brain and the resources you have (like the traptrix field spell)
ay do you plan to update this after the new support got announced?
Hey bro! I tested it, and there's really not much different. I think you play 1x each of the new cards, but I love Traptrix so I'll definitely make a new video at some point
what is the name from the spell in the 22 second? The Picture was to big to see it :D
btw nice profile
Thanks bro! I believe that was Triple Tactics Thrust?
@@earthteamjordan no bro, The left card next to it
@@heyzenkaar4486 Ragnaraika continuous spell
Really good
When does the raiko stuff come out?
Interesting combos, but every combos are suceptible at Nibiru.
Exist any option to play arround?

Is it okay if you dont habe mermeleo first turn when you already habe a trap hohle card in your hand?

7:31 what’s Myrmeleo’s mandatory effect? I don’t understand how it triggers Sera at that moment.
Myrmeleo must activate on summon to destroy a Spell/Trap, even if there's none to destroy. Also, since a Traptrix monster activated it's effect, this triggers Sera to set a trap
What trap card is left to the raika trap in the profile ? Couldnt identify it
I believe that's Chain Hole 😁
Is it me or does he say “deck” in a weird way? Idk why but there’s something weird in the way you say that word that unsettles me
LMFAOO Bro I just spent 10 minutes laughing at this 😂 Thank you
I play traptrix because I want to say you triggered my trap card. If you want to play wambo combo, IMHO there are better ways to do it. I guess we will see if this becomes standard traptrix from now on or if pure will still hold out.
Why not both? Combo off then set a bunch of traps :)

I believe thats Dimensional Barrier
@@earthteamjordan Thanks.😁😁😁
Paralel exceed is good cause you can play around nib most of the time
If you use parallel exceed you can't use the effects of the esqueleton soldier (Unlike other Raikas, his effects works like branded fusion, so is the entire turn, and the restriction is on both effects).
Can u not make tree beast any negate u want by attaching from grave during ur combo?
You can, but it depends on your opponent
This is wild tbh
Can someone post the full deck profile?

🤔 TRAPTRIX RAIKA NEW TIER 2?? 🤔
Will prob be rouge
The deck still can't really play going second
Not even close. You are on 3 non engine, around 10 semi garnets and lose to too much stuff.
you can open up 2 spots by taking out 2 evil seed. you only really need one.
I play it at 2. No problems until now :)
For that space, I kept beargram. He's an awesome beatstick and backrow protector
Evenly before, evenly after.... same Probleme

@@earthteamjordan you clearly forgot that Fire King is tier 1 this format. It will see play, its non-destruction removal and it plays under Arvata.

Are Raikas in the TCG?
Not till Legacy of Destruction next month
Only traptrix
So it loses to Nib or evenly.....oh and losing a dice roll
