How to use

Negate enemy plays

Negating enemy cards is the main play of this deck, use trap cards to negate anything played by your opponent that might be harmful to you. Negating cards can also interrupt enemy combos leaving them with nothing else to play.

Draw cards

With almost every trap in this deck requiring you to discard, quickly depleting your resources, you will need good draw power to maintain your card advantage.

Special summon big monsters

  • When you use a counter trap you can special summon Dark Voltanis from your hand by tributing a DARK monster (Even ones that are set.) on your side of the field. But be careful, when Dark Voltanis is special summoned, he requires you to select a card on the field to destroy, if you or your opponent do not control any other cards Dark Voltanis will destroy himself.
  • Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord can be special summoned from your hand when you use a counter trap to negate your opponent's card, and depending on what type of card you negate Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord will gain a different effect.

It's not like there's a HUGE amount of creativity in this kind of deck. Run Counter Traps of choice, run cards that benefit from Counter Traps, round out the deck with stuff that fills the gaps. (The draw cards in this case.)

In theorycraft..
Would this work:
Skill: duel standby
3 gravekeeper's recruiter
3 dark voltanis
1 vandalgyon
3 magic drain
3 d. Wrath
2 ultimate providence
3 gross ghost
2 dark jerroid
Here's waiting for mystic tomato, more vandalgyon and more universal counter traps


Roca
Familiar Knight and Twin-Barrel Dragon make an effective combo in this kind of deck. At least in my first few duels, it allowed me to destroy some big threat cards on the opponents turn.

You can get magic card back and let Voltanis down activity.

Sorry for my poor English

I only have 2 Voltanis cards. Would that suffice for this kind of deck?

This card has the possibilities to reach tier 2 or 3. With counter trap can easily counter meta deck with divine wrath. Negate activation of powerful trap card like mirror wall with trap jammer. Negate enemy controller and other spell with magic jammer or riryoku and special summon voltanis for easy winning

i put double coston , whiptail crow , archfiend and gross dreams as my dark monster in my voltanis deck
