This box is not really good but it has AFD, Junk Synchron & Armades. Also Super Rush Recklessly, Moja, Beast Striker and King of the Beasts are fun to play. Maybe try to buy only 10-30 packs.

To be honest, I wouldn't invest in Synchros. In a few months we'll probably get Zexal and Xyz monsters and the meta might change because of that. It's a bit risky to invest into Synchro decks.

I actually like the spider archetype, seems fun and controlling enough to become part of the meta. Also, traptix cards seem to be the new aliens, sylvans or fur hire. I bet people are going to start asking for nerfs soon... like: ``yamete Traptrix nono, yameteee´´ ;A;/ ! lol (must add... how come the girl is an insect type? wtf ! )

Frankly bruh, I'm way more interested in the spider deck and junk synchron than Traptrix cards, even Fairy Dragons seems way more appealing to me. Do u think these loli girls would become competitive?

I noticed people don't really know how to read cards descriptions. But anyway, I expect traptrix to become a decent tier 2, because Myrmeleo is missing. ( I actually thought they were going to add some cards to this box, but I guess it's not going to happen ).

I never saw one traptrix deck.

Traptrix atrax = A- (no competitive use)
Junk synchron = B (highly use in a lot of competitive control decks)

Nice. My Armades was in the 2nd pack XD

Quick question: The box just dropped here in UK and from 20 packs I got (2 UR synchro monsters). 60 Packs left and the last UR is junk synchron. Should I continue to dig after him?

Traptrix are male creatures with female appearence. that's they named TRAPtrix

"These are giant, carnivorous organisms who trick men who wander into the forest with their innocent looks, then reveal their true motive to trap and devour their prey."

From that line I assume that the girls are the organisms themselves. I don't where you come up with the "humans feeding their animal/plants" thing.

Actually those creatures' gender are never mentioned, besides, like HALF of the archetype aren't even animals, they're PLANTS.

This ain't it chief

I got everything I wanted with just 2800 gems, it seems like Junk Armades is actually top tier material and a fun archetype as well. Traptrix seems to be cool, but I'm new to that archetype so I couldn't really tell how good it is.
Box is pretty decent actually, I dunno why some dudes still want to get Anki, are they lazy?, foolish or just trolling? they had like 10 months to build that deck (which is currently pretty much dead thanks to Wildheart anti-meta).

You also told us that you will NOT ever comment on other people's opinions of "HOW THEY PLAY THE GAME" (remember this?) because to you, how others play the game isn't what matters. What happened to your attitude now? Did Kaiser influenced you to become this rude? Or are you pretending to be nice from the very start?

(Still Same anon above) Yes, I know "what" you're referring to, that name-changer anon who loves to campaign and promote so much, and should be actively involved in the "boicotting spam" that happened months ago. I don't like that bunch, but don't fool us too. Seeing you snapped like this, I'm actually convinced you're just trying to pretend nice. Not good.

As we said about vamps when they realised, this box might has a good deck that can be meta.

I reckon a Trap Hole card will be released in the next Main Box to give Traptrix more viability

Classic trap hole from power of chaos is also in the list but I think its too powerful in DL

Would literally be happy with any of the above. I think it would be a smart move on Konami's part, will give people extra incentive to buy this box... but Konami aren't exactly known for making 'smart' moves haha

Chaos Trap Hole isn't supported by Traptrix to begin with anyway, since they only support "Trap Hole" normal Trap cards, and Chaos Trap Hole is a Counter Trap card.

I initially wanted to say Network Trap Hole, but then I realize maybe it's still too powerful for DL.

Go for bujin or vampire deck having 13k gems

I'm more on the side of them being power creeped rather than nerfed. So many good archetypes they could bring into the game.

Power creeping looks better than nerfing at the time but it's very bad for the future of this game, power creeping promotes the birth of Tier 0 decks

Powercreep is never good and will never be good for the game. Do you want DL to share the same fate as the tcg where duels only last in 1 turn and only decided whether you/your opponent have handtraps or not?
