Traptrix: deck recipe [Jan 22]

“Traptrix” is an archetype that centers around the use of Trap Cards. “Traptrix” monsters are typically immune to “Hole” Normal Trap Cards and have effects that can either facilitate their use or provide support for their own archetype.

Despite the fact that Secrets of the Ancients, the 16th Mini BOX, will seemingly only contain two of the monsters that belong to this archetype, there's a good chance these cards will see some play even before the release of more support.

Lets you use "Hole" traps right away after you summon this on the field. This effect can't even be negated by something like Fire King Avatar Arvata, but can be prevented by cards like Forbidden Chalice.

Main advantage to using this effect is that your traps aren't on the field so they can't be sniped or destroyed by cards like Mystical Space Typhoon. You can also use more than 3 traps in a turn since you're not limited to the spell/trap zones.

While it can be somewhat safe to summon since you know you can't get hit with certain commonly used cards like Floodgate Trap Hole or Treacherous Trap Hole, it can still be risky to just summon this without setting your traps because there are still plenty of cards that can deal with this like Book of Moon or even Santa Claws.

Has a trap recovery effect but can be tricky to use since it requires some setup. It also has a slight disadvantage since your opponent will know what you took and where it's set, potentially letting them play around it.

Floodgate is the second-best option to recover since it's a good stall card to prevent combos, boss monsters, or even pendulum summoning.

Since the deck works best when getting first turn to stop enemy plays, you'll need cards like this to help deal with strong boss monsters if you get second turn.

This is a pretty strong monster removal since it can work on almost all monsters, even if they're untargetable.

All of these Trap Hole cards can be activated from the hand if you have Atrax face-up on the field. There are plenty of options available, but it's recommended to use the ones that have a high chance of being used instead of a more situational card like D.D. Trap Hole.

Treacherous Trap Hole is also a strong option, but it can be unreliable since this is a deck full of traps, essentially a dead card if you get it in the later turns. It works better if you use Endless Trap Hell skill instead of Chain Reaction.

All of the monsters, including the extra deck, don't have high ATK so this helps protect your monsters and also gets rid of them with no cost. The downside is that this targets the monsters.

Useful against decks that need to use their graveyard to activate their effects. But since there are no WATER monsters in the deck, this won't get the ATK boost so its ATK is lower than Atrax.

Against decks like Blue-Eyes, having this early can help stop an early advantage so they don't special summon from the deck.

Its effect to gain and reduce enemy's ATK effectively makes this a 3000 ATK card when it attacks, which is the deck's answer to monsters with 3000 or less ATK.

It won't be useful against high DEF monsters in case you floodgate them, and it can be risky to bring this out since its base ATK is pretty low so you could end up taking a lot of damage if they manage to make a comeback.

Works best if your opponent only has 1 monster on the field, or if they have an Xyz monster since banishing them will also remove their materials. The temporary banish effect helps let you deal direct attack and can potentially be an OTK if you have another monster on the field.

Keep in mind that your opponent will be able to flip their monster back up again if you banish their face-down monster that was affected by a floodgate.

Can potentially be considered a 2800 ATK monster that you can somewhat easily summon since Dionaea can special summon, but not a good monster to bring out if your opponent also uses an EARTH attribute deck.

A simple card removal effect from a rank 4 Xyz to get rid of a monster or spell/trap.

This is to help when going against decks that use same-name monsters like Harpies or Cyber Dragons. This provides non-targeting removal and also a limitation effect on them.

Since the deck has so many traps, this skill helps deal damage so you can chip away at your opponent every time you use one.

Situationally better than Dimensional Prison, but not always reliable, especially since the deck's monsters are pretty low. Using it when your opponent only has 1 monster might not even help your monster survive.
