Traptrix Genlisea — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 63 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 62 · Deck: 64 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Combo enabler · Secondary: Material body, Extender
Why it scores here
Traptrix Genlisea scores on its conversion of one Level 4 body into two set 'Hole' Normal Traps, one from the Deck and one from the GY, which feeds the Trap Hole line. Its 1200 ATK and 1600 DEF earn nothing; the score comes from access (it runs in all 400 sampled decks), a generic Level 4 Earth body, and immunity to 'Hole' Normal Traps that protects it in mirror matches. No combo boards are recorded, so the conversion is supported only by card text and deck co-occurrence, and the score is held down accordingly.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Runs in 400 of 400 sampled decks at about 1.16 copies each, but no searcher or combo starter evidence is supplied to show how reliably it is reached in the opening hand (observed deck stats, inferred for reliability). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | The Tribute converts the body into two set 'Hole' Normal Traps, which is a real route to the Trap Hole line, but there are zero recorded combo boards to show the payoff or the full-board output (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Trades one body for two trap cards from Deck and GY, a net gain in card count, with the traps banished when they leave the field so the gain is one-shot per use (verified from text, inferred for net value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 60 | Immunity to 'Hole' Normal Traps blanks the common answer in the mirror, while the sets it creates feed the Trap Hole interaction; no interaction count is recorded (verified text, inferred strength). |
| Material Utility | 60 | Level 4 Earth Plant with a generic Plant/Earth profile makes it a usable Level 4 material, and the Hole immunity still applies when it is on the field as material (verified from text and stats, inferred for usefulness). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Once-per-turn limit on the effect and sets that can be hit by a trap-destroying response reduce the redundancy, although the body is multi-spot and immune to Hole traps (verified from text, inferred for reliability). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | No garnet or lock restriction is stated and it runs at one copy in most decks, so the slot cost is low and the copy limit is unrestricted (verified from text and deck copies; banlist token absent, so unlimited is assumed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter/Combo enabler + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 62, Deck ≈ 64, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live in 400 of 400 sampled decks, so it is reliably accessible in its archetype
- Immune to 'Hole' Normal Traps, which blanks a common answer in mirror matches
- Tribute converts one body into two set 'Hole' Normal Traps, one from Deck and one from GY
- Generic Level 4 Earth Plant body, usable as material for Traptrix and other Earth Level 4 lines
- Low deckbuilding cost: one copy in most decks, no garnet or lock restriction stated
Weaknesses
- Once per turn limit on the Tribute effect
- Converts itself into set traps, which are exposed to trap-destroying responses
- No combo boards recorded, so the full conversion into a board is unconfirmed
- Immunity covers only 'Hole' Normal Traps, not monster, spell or other trap effects
- Traptrix-specific text limits its use outside the archetype
Counters / choke points
- The evidence pack contains no counter data; the Hole immunity only blanks 'Hole' Normal Traps, not other effects that answer the set traps
Best use
Trap Hole enabler and Traptrix body. Decks: Traptrix (archetype 623), Traptrix (archetype 230), Traptrix (archetype 1737). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 4 EARTH Plant Effect Monster, 1200 ATK / 1600 DEF, Traptrix archetype text; Unaffected by the effects of 'Hole' Normal Traps; Tribute this card to set 2 'Hole' Normal Traps with different names, 1 from Deck and 1 from GY, banished when they leave the field; The Tribute effect can be used once per turn; Runs in 400 of 400 sampled decks, average 1.16 copies, max 3
- Observed: Top partners are Traptrix bodies and Trap Hole cards, each in 75 to 98 percent of decks running this card; Gameplay mix is mostly type 7 (73.5 percent of decks); Two guides feature it in archetype and deck-core sections
- Inferred: Primary role is a Trap Hole enabler, since the Tribute sets two Hole traps; Level 4 Earth Plant body makes it a usable generic material even when its effect is negated; Hole immunity is a real advantage in Traptrix mirror matches
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard); archetype inclusion inferred from deck sample only timing (speed) of the Tribute effect is not stated in the evidence text no counter or interaction evidence beyond card text
