I love watching these traptrix videos! They help me know what to incorporate into my deck and also gives me insight into how to play this deck optimally Keep up the good work!
@TrapChrisYGO Thank you! When facing floodgates like that, timing is key, as they can be a double-edged sword. I kept it on the board for my opponent's turn so they could not OTK me and then got rid of it on my next turn so I could combo off and win the game. By the way, I was supposed to have another video come out Saturday night, but I got held over at work everyday this week, so it will not be out until next week. Sorry about the wait.
@@Arkana_Kyuran Haha, yeah it looked dicey, but thankfully Traptrix has a good match up against Tear. The deck excels at simplifying the board state too and being able to out-grind from there.
With the existence of a billion handtraps and graveyard effects grave digger is always at 3 in my traptrix deck and i ALWAYS get so much from it -2k life points is so huge + niburu is a dud is my happy day
@@andrekerlin7731 Honestly, I just like seeing the card in my opening hand; it makes your plays much more explosive. Pudica is a big target for hand traps too, so I like baiting them out with her when I already have the field spell in hand. A lot of players do not realize either, that the search effects of Mantis and Myrmeleo are not hard once per turns, so if you have multiple copies in your hand and the field spell, you can get multiple searches off of them, while not wasting your normal on Pudica. It is also especially better if you are running a pure version of the deck and not any sub engines. That being said, 2 is probably the correct ratio for the card, which I have know for a while, but as I continue to optimize my build, it will probably get down to as I get continue to playtest and get access to more cards for the strategy.
@@stoic_hero_tcg thats a really good point, hadnt thought about building it with baiting handtraps on pudica more. Ill have to give that a shot. it is such a good spell to get in hand otherwise. thanks for the response
how high did u make it? My deck was 2x max c 3x ash blossom 3x Traptrix Myrmeleo 3x Traptrix Mantis 2x Pudica 2x Dionaea 3x Arachnocampa 2x Vesiculo 2x parallel exceed 2x Traptrip Garden 2x called by the grave 3x Traptrix Holeutea 1x The Phantom Knights of Shade Brigandine 3x Infinite Impermanence 2x Gravedigger's Trap Hole 2x Floodgate Trap Hole 1x deep dark trap hole 2x the black goat laugh 3x Traptrix Sera 2x Traptrix Atypus 1x I:P Masquerena 1x Traptrix Rafflesia 1x Traptrix Pinguicula 1x Traptrix Allomerus 1x Numer 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir 1x Time Thief Redoer 1x sp little knight 1x aazeus 1x aussa the earth charmer 1x Beetrooper Armor Horn The trap cards really depend on the current meta deck. I removed all card with effect of destroying enemy card cus of yubel. Thats that traptrix i run and i played couple games in lv18 dc cup with it. I really recommend the black goat laugh. I value it really high because it can be used set and in graveyard too. So u can send it to the graveyard as cost for the traptix too. The effect of selecting monster and making unable to special summon is crazy.
@@valplay1155 I unfortunately only made it to 17 due to the time constraint of usually having less than an hour a day to play and life stuff keeping from playing the event for a few days. This event was my first playtest since getting Maxx "C" for the deck. My ratios were a bit off, but I got a lot of good info from it so I will be posting a revised version here soon. My deck design has always been avoiding destruction effects as much as possible to minimalize my opponent capitalizing on them, so it is a good strategy, especially with as you mentioned Yubel becoming more prevalent. Deep Dark Trap Hole is an interesting inclusion in yours. I have been having a lot of success with Banishing Trap Hole. It hits so much of the meta, especially common starters and extenders. I can see why you like TBGL, but it is just not my cup of tea, really. I have thought about experimenting with Transaction Rollback, as there are so many games I could of clenched out with one more activation of Gravedigger's Trap Hole. I really like the recursion of Lost Wind for the deck too, won so many games because of it. Honestly like seeing it over Infinite Impermanence outside of going second a lot of the times, as the attack reduction and permanent negation is so much more useful most of the time.
@stoic_hero_tcg traptrix really depends on preference ngl. The ratio of the traptrix monsters are different, and people use different trap cards. I used to use lost wind before TBGL cus i saw in one of your vid and I liked it. At some point, I saw someone using traptrix with aroma 😭
@@valplay1155 Yeah, Aroma, Ragnaraika, Beetrooper, Mathmech, there are a lot of sub-engines people are experimenting with right now. I definitely feel like Traptrix needs something currently though, as recent releases are causing it to struggle against decks it use to always handle easily before. By the way, I did finally watch that replay you told me about on another video. I have a commentary video in the works for it, I have just been dealing with sickness and allergies, not to mention time constraints, so I have not been able to finish recording the commentary for it yet.
6:24 you got very lucky that he fumbled his nib. Btw interesting decklist, only 1 shad beig. Personaly I run only one banishing, otherwise i tend to draw it as a brick against stuff like tear, who don't summon monster below 1500
@@d22268 Not everyone rips Nib on 5, and a lot of Traptrix players greed and go into Pinguicula before Rafflesia. He probably was waiting until I got a more established board (as some players do), especially since he had the Imperm in hand to negate any potential negates to it, but did not know how Traptrix operates. The amount of people that forget the extra deck ones are immune to all traps effects is astonishing. I usually run 2 Shade Brigandine, but this was a new test build I was messing with for this event. I have not had Banishing be a brick yet and the deck absolutely destroys Tear decks (but has started to struggle against Lightsworn variants).
@@stoic_hero_tcgi know not everyone rips nib on 5, I just see nib ripped on 5 a lot. Also the lightsworn tear deck is nuts, it's stupidly consistent and they can fucking otk with the right cards
@@Alonzone Rafflesia, she gives destruction and targeting protection, even if she does not have materials, and of course the ability to copy any trap hole effect. She is considered the first boss monster of Traptrix for a reason.
@@Agamennonem Called by the Grave has to banish the monster in order to negate, so if you chain an effect that summons (like I did) or otherwise removes the card from the GY so that the effect of Called by can not banish that card itself, then the effect fizzles out. That is why it is usually best to activate it in response to something instead of just on its own, as you can interrupt your opponent's plays, but it can also be interrupted.
@@Agamennonem El Shadoll Winda only allows players to special summon once per turn, which prevented me from making a full board, but I understood this and specifically played around it, even using it to my advantage by not negating it or getting rid of it until my next turn to be able to combo off later after my opponent was unsuccessful in OTK-ing me.

@@Raff_Craft_001 Interesting build. Ragnaraika definitely has potential, but it plays very differently to Traptrix and most of its removal effects are destruction, which I tend to avoid.
