Traptrix Deck #771197 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz and Link boards (Traptrix Pinguicula, Allomerus, Atypus, Sera, Rafflesia) backed by Hole traps that keep the board clear and the summons coming; DoomZ and Number Xyz bosses (DoomZ Break - Diactorus, Graflareio, Utopia) as off-archetype payoffs for a generic Xyz line
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Traptrix searcher (Pudica, Mantis or Myrmeleo) to fetch a Traptrix or Hole, Normal Summon a Traptrix into a Set Hole, then link or Xyz toward Atypus or Pinguicula while holding Infinite Impermanence and Dominus Purge for interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Dominus Spiral, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched and Maxx C as hand traps to break the opponent's first summon, then search through Traptrix Trap Hole Nightmare or Terrifying Trap Hole Nightmare to remove the board
• Recovery: Traptrix Holeutea and Dionaea revive from the GY, and Traptrix Dionaea can Special Summon from the GY, so a Hole plus one Traptrix monster can rebuild a Link or Xyz board
• After siding: Not evaluable: Side Deck size is 0, so the deck has no post-side plan at all

Why it scores here

The deck's consistency rests on a dense Traptrix searcher package (14 searcher-text cards; P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.82, Inferred) and an 11-copy archetype core that has about 73% chance of at least one piece in the opening hand (Inferred). Its end-board interaction is broad, with 25 removal-text, 12 negation-text and 6 hand-trap cards (Inferred semantic read), and its going-second hand-trap density carries most of the score. Output is not measured: there are no recorded boards, so ceiling and median are text-only inference and are scored low-to-middle. The rating is capped low because the list is illegal (16 Extra Deck cards against a 15-card OCG limit), no side deck is included, and no tournament or win-rate data exists. Archetype popularity and usage stats did not earn points, and the score was not built by averaging the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: illegal_extra_deck_size (-12); no Side Deck (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*52 + 0.20*45 = 50.6; legality modifier -12 gives 38.6; Illegal-list cap applied, final 35 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.27 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher package (14 searcher-text cards) gives reliable starts
• Broad interaction: hand traps, Hole negations and removal-text cards
• Multiple Xyz and Link bosses with 2400+ ATK
• GY recursion through Holeutea and Dionaea adds redundancy

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Extra Deck has 16 cards against the OCG limit of 15
• No side deck
• Low archetype purity (34.8%), with several unrelated sub-archetypes
• No recorded combos or win-rate data to confirm the ceiling

Critical choke points

• A single Traptrix searcher or the 11-copy core is needed on turn 1; about 27% of hands have no core card
• Xyz summons depend on specific Level 4 pairs from the Extra Deck

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck is 50 cards, within the 40-60 range; Extra Deck is 16 cards, one over the OCG limit of 15; Maxx C and S:P Little Knight are Limited and run one copy each, which is legal; Side Deck size is 0
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher in hand5) ≈ 0.82; P(>=1 core in hand5) ≈ 0.73; Hand-trap and removal density read from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
