Traptrix Deck #769974 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 64/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Traptrix Extra Deck boards (Pinguicula 2500, Allomerus 2200, Time Thief Redoer 2400, Utopia 3-level Xyz, Topologic Bomber 3000 Link) built off Traptrix Plant/Insect Level 4 starters, with Trap Hole Nightmare and Hole removal clearing the opponent's board.; Hand-trap and Hole interaction (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched, Trap Hole family) that keeps the opponent from establishing a board until the Extra Deck converts.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Traptrix Level 4 starter (Pudica for Traptrip Garden, Mantis or Myrmeleo for a Hole Normal Trap), set a Hole, and hold Ash Blossom or Effect Veiler for the opponent's first Quick Effect.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched) to strip the opponent's first board, then Special Summon Traptrix monsters from the GY or Deck to rebuild and reach an Xyz or Link.
• Recovery: Recover through the GY: Traptrix Dionaea and Holeutea revive Traptrix monsters, Traptantalizing Tune draws 2 by discarding a Level 4 Insect or Plant, and Pudica and Mantis search again.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck plays the same 40+14 every game.

Why it scores here

The deck's score comes from how the system behaves: an 11-card archetype core gives an estimated 82% chance of at least one core card in the opening five, and the Level 4 Traptrix starters plus Holes build a reliable first board. Interaction is the strongest part: seven hand traps, the Hole family, Trap Hole Nightmare and Harpie's Feather Duster give dense answers on both turns, which lifts the going-second score. Conversion is only Inferred, since no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling (D3) and median (D4) rest on card text and the Extra Deck's board power rather than observed results. The deck has no side deck, so D12 is low and drags the Tournament Reliability figure. Popularity was not scored: the archetype's usage stats confirm the list is real, but no meta-share or win-rate data was used, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 62.4, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Hole cross-archetype synergy (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*62.4 + 0.20*58 + 2 = 63.5, rounded to 64

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · 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 covering both turns
• Extra Deck with several high-ATK and recurring boards (Pinguicula, Allomerus, Utopia, Topologic Bomber)
• Traptrix graveyard recursion gives recovery after one interruption

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side plan in best-of-3 play
• Hand-trap heavy list can brick or dead-hand on the first turn
• No recorded boards, so the ceiling and median cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Opening-hand starter: a hand with only hand traps and no Level 4 Traptrix starter stalls the plan on going first
• Hole Normal Traps must be in GY or Deck for the Traptrix recursion lines

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal OCG 40/14, no violations, Ash Blossom Semi-Limited at 2, Droll and Feather Duster Limited at 1; Archetype purity 42.6% exact, 6 singletons, side_count 0; Card text for Traptrix and Hole cards as listed in evidence
• Inferred: P(≥1 archetype-core in opening 5) ≈ 0.82 and P(≥1 hand trap going second) ≈ 0.71; Interaction density and going-second strength from card text; Extra Deck board power from card text, with no recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (D13 = 50, no tournament link); Median output (D4 = 50, no combos)
• 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, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck (side_count 0) — post-side plan cannot be evaluated
