Traptrix Deck #771971 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 34/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Xyz (mechanic)
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz pressure from Exosister Xyz monsters (Magnifica, Mikailis, Karmael, Kaspitell, Gibrine) built from Exosister Level 4 monsters, with Mulcharmy/Gagaga/Time Thief as secondary Xyz routes; Disruption-led board control with Raigeki, Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster, followed by Xyz attacks
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Exosister searchers (Betrayal, Pax) and Exosister monsters, then Xyz Summon from the Extra Deck. Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll, Infinite Impermanence) are held for the opponent's first activation.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Infinite Impermanence to slow the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Exosister monsters and Xyz Summons once the board is stable.
• Recovery: Exosister Xyz monsters can be re-sent or reused from the GY. Mulcharmy Purulia and Fuwalos can be discarded for draws when the field is empty.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan is defined.

Why it scores here

The deck's score comes from how the system behaves, not from averaging its cards. Opening odds for the Exosister searchers and Level 4 monsters are moderate (about 25% per copy in a 5-card opener, per the hypergeometric table), so the engine is usable but not reliable. Interaction density is high, with Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Raigeki and Lightning Storm, which gives it a real chance to stop a turn. The Xyz end-boards (Magnifica, Mikailis, Karmael) provide closing pressure once established. The deck has no combo evidence and no Side Deck, so floor, median and post-side scores stay low and carry wide uncertainty. The deck is illegal at Ash Blossom's copy limit, so its final score is capped; popularity did not earn any points and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange (primary) with Toolbox (secondary); Toolbox weights were not blended into the table. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal: copy-limit violation and banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers; Illegal cap applied via modifier

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Layered interaction suite: Ash Blossom x3, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Feather Duster
• Extra Deck has strong Xyz end-boards (Magnifica 2800, Karmael 2600, Mikailis 2500) with a coherent Exosister Xyz line
• Exosister searchers (Betrayal, Pax) give some consistency

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom copy limit exceeded (3 vs 2)
• No Side Deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan
• Archetype label Traptrix does not match the list (Exosister build)
• Heavy tech/hand-trap density lowers Main Deck coherence
• Low starter odds per copy (about 25% in a 5-card opener)

Critical choke points

• Exosister searcher / monster presence (about 25% per copy in opener)
• Xyz Summon materials: Level 4 Exosister monsters must survive
• Ash Blossom copy limit (illegal until fixed)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts (OCG size rules 40-60 / 0-15 / 0-15); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs Semi-Limited limit of 2 (violation); Limited cards are single copies; Super Polymerization 2 copies at Semi-Limited limit; Copy histogram and Extra Deck breakdown (13 Xyz, 2 Fusion)
• Inferred: Opener odds for the Exosister engine (about 25% per copy); Brick risk from tech density and singletons; Going-first and going-second plans and interaction quality; Xyz end-board closing power
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format-fit scores (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional No Side Deck present, so D12 and post-side plans are unevaluated Archetype label Traptrix does not match the card list (Exosister build); provenance may be wrong
