Traptrix Deck #769453 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Pinguicula, Allomerus, Ty-Phon, Zeus, Sargas) built from a Traptrix engine that searches and summons through Normal Summons and Hole-based interaction; Traptrix Link and Xyz pressure (Rafflesia, Cularia, Atypus) that keeps Traptrix monsters protected from trap and card effects
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Traptrix searcher (Pudica, Mantis, Myrmeleo) to add a Traptrix or Hole Normal Trap, then build a Link or Xyz board while Holes punish opposing Special Summons
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched and Nibiru as hand traps (about 90 percent chance of at least one in a 6-card hand), then use Trap Holes and Holeutea to turn the opponent's summon into a trade
• Recovery: Traptrix Holeutea recursion from the GY, Traptrix Dionaea and Arachnocampa revival, and Gravedigger's and Terrifying Trap Hole as backup negations
• After siding: Not evaluable: no side deck in the export (Side Deck size 0)

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal as submitted: it runs three copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a Semi-Limited limit of two, so the normal Final Contextual score is capped and this evaluation is structural-only. Structural power comes from the system rather than from averaging card scores: the 13-copy Traptrix core gives an 88 percent chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and nine searchers give about a 74 percent chance of a searcher in hand. Interaction is the strongest read: 12 hand traps, 19 removal-text and 8 negation-text cards give about a 90 percent chance of at least one hand trap on the going-second 6-card hand (Inferred). Floor and median output are weak and unmeasured because the export has no recorded boards, so combo conversion is text-only and provisional. The 5 Link/Xyz boss options are real, but the list has no side deck and no tournament link, so popularity and meta-share earned no points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange profile used; Stun secondary noted but not blended (no dated meta). Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (cap) (-12); No side deck (-3); Banlist exposure (Ash Blossom Semi-Limited) (-6). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*58 + 0.20*48 + modifiers(-9) = 47; illegal-deck cap applied -> 35 (structural-only, theoretical)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense hand-trap and Hole interaction covers summons on both turns
• Searcher density (nine) gives reliable access to the Traptrix engine
• Extra Deck bosses (Pinguicula, Allomerus, Ty-Phon, Zeus) give high end-board ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count of Ash Blossom
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Several Hole cards are dead without an opposing summon

Critical choke points

• Single-copy Pinguicula and Allomerus are the main boss lines; losing them removes the Xyz finish
• Ash Blossom over-limit copies leave the hand-trap count dependent on the legal copy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs legal 2 (Semi-Limited); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 within OCG size rules; Copy histogram 1x8, 2x1, 3x10; Usage: Traptrix core present; Pinguicula, Allomerus and Rafflesia missing from this list
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand odds (core 0.877, searcher 0.742, hand trap 0.902); Interaction density from hand-trap and removal text tags; Going-second advantage from hand traps and Trap Holes
• Provisional: Combo ceiling and median (no boards); Matchup and format fit (no meta sample); Meta power (null)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied - combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link - archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) - those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck in export deck title is null
