Traptrix Deck #771683 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Tempo
• 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: Traptrix Xyz/Link boards (Rafflesia, Sera, Atypus, Dionaea line) built from Normal Summons and Hole-protected monsters, closed by Xyz attackers; Hand-trap and Hole-trap disruption that strips the opponent's first summon and leaves a board they cannot rebuild through
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Traptrix searcher (Myrmeleo, Mantis, Pudica) to fetch a Hole, then Link or Xyz onto a Traptrix board while holding Ash Blossom or Holeutea for the opponent's answer
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Gravedigger's Trap Hole and Droll & Lock Bird through the opponent's first summon, then rebuild from the graveyard with Dionaea and Pudica
• Recovery: Recursion from graveyard Traptrix monsters (Dionaea, Pudica, Arachnocampa) and Hole traps re-set from the graveyard
• After siding: Not evaluable: side_count is 0, so no post-side plan exists in the submitted list

Why it scores here

This list is illegal as submitted: three copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring exceed the OCG Semi-Limited limit of two, so it receives only a structural, theoretical score capped at 30. The structural read is driven by the system, not by averaging card scores. Its interaction suite (six hand traps, Hole-family traps, and roughly ten negation and fifteen removal text hits) gives it real going-second disruption and interruption resilience. Engine access is moderate: the Traptrix searchers give about a 0.90 chance of at least one archetype core card in a five-card hand, but only 41.8% of the Main Deck is exact-name Traptrix, and 32 off-archetype copies dilute the engine. The deck has no side deck, no recorded boards and no tournament data, so combo output, post-side play and matchup fit are unmeasured and held at provisional values. Archetype popularity was not credited; the 14 dimension scores are assigned to this list alone.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53.6, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_overcopy (-4); no_side_deck (-4). Final formula: Illegal list: 0.80*Structural(53.6) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-8) = 43.9, capped to 30 (theoretical, structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Six hand traps plus Hole-family traps give dense going-second interaction
• Traptrix searchers (Myrmeleo, Mantis, Pudica) give frequent archetype access
• Graveyard recursion (Dionaea, Pudica, Arachnocampa) supports interruption recovery

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom is over the OCG copy limit
• No side deck, so best-of-3 adaptation is absent
• Only 41.8% exact-name archetype purity, with 32 off-archetype copies
• No combo, tournament or matchup data to confirm output

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom over-limit copy must be removed before this list can be played legally
• Single-card Xyz routes depend on Rafflesia (x2) and Sera (x3) being drawn together
• Going-first plan depends on a searcher reaching the first Hole trap

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is 3 copies against an OCG Semi-Limited limit of 2; Main Deck is 40 cards and Extra Deck is 15 cards, within OCG size rules; Side deck is 0 cards; Exact-name archetype purity is 41.8%
• Inferred: Engine access: P(>=1 Myrmeleo in opening 5) = 0.34; archetype core P ≈ 0.90; Going-second interaction density from hand-trap and removal text; Brick estimate from off-archetype and tech copies
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample supplied; Tournament reliability held at neutral because no tournament or win-rate data exists
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or OTK rates No side deck: post-side adaptability is unmeasured Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
