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.

I guess voltanis can be good in the D.D deck posted in this website some time ago. You just have to substitute 2 barrel dragon with 2 voltanis and add counter traps :)

Bakura did not drop a single Dark Voltanis card. Despite farming him like I want him to go extinct.
