Traptrix Deck #772053 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Traptrix and Hole-based board control that stalls the opponent and converts with Link and Xyz boss monsters (Traptrix Atypus, Traptrix Allomerus, Traptrix Rafflesia) once the board is stabilized.; Therion and Rikka Plant/Machine boss monsters (Therion King Regulus, Teardrop the Rikka Queen) as extra pressure once hand traps have cleared the field.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Traptrix searchers (Traptrix Mantis, Traptrix Myrmeleo, Traptrix Pudica) to reach a Hole Normal Trap and Traptrix Dionaea, then Set a Hole trap and hold Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence as protection (Inferred from card text).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Nibiru, Droll and Lock Bird) to interrupt the opponent's first summons and Set traps, then reactivate Traptrix or Hole traps on the second turn (Inferred from card text).
• Recovery: Recover through Traptrix searchers and GY-revival effects (Traptrix Dionaea, Traptrix Pudica, Triple Tactics Thrust) to rebuild the Traptrix board after a hand-trap exchange (Inferred from card text).
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has an empty Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan in the evidence; a legal list would need a side to adapt.

Why it scores here

The deck's reliable opening rests on the Traptrix core: the archetype core group has about a 79% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and 14 searcher-text cards add redundant access (Inferred, hypergeometric). Its interaction density is high, with 13 hand traps, 21 removal-text cards and several Hole traps, which gives it strong end-board control and interruption resilience. Conversion into pressure is less clear: there are no recorded boards, no combo evidence, and no guides, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference and are scored low. The score reflects the system's consistency, interaction and Extra Deck coverage, not the popularity of the Traptrix archetype and not an average of the card scores. Because the list is Illegal (three copies of Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring against an OCG limit of two), it is capped at 30 and the evaluation is structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Stun + 0.2 Toolbox (Stun primary: hand-trap and floodgate-heavy list). Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); illegal list cap (-10). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 48.3 - 8 = 40.3; capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (rubric Step 2). Structural-only evaluation.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.79 · 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 with 21 removal-text cards
• Searcher redundancy across Traptrix monsters and Trap Hole effects
• Link and Xyz boss options in the Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three copies of Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring against a limit of two
• Only 28.8% exact-name Traptrix purity; off-archetype Hole and Therion copies dilute the engine
• Empty Side Deck removes post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom copy count must drop to 2 before the list is legal
• Going-first starters depend on a few Traptrix searchers

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring is run 3 times against an OCG legal limit of 2 (violation); Main Deck 58 and Extra Deck 15 are within OCG size rules; Droll and Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster and S:P Little Knight are Limited at 1 copy each (legal); Main Deck exact Traptrix name purity is 28.8%; Side Deck is empty
• Inferred: Archetype-core hypergeometric odds of about 0.79 in a 5-card hand; Going-first and going-second plan descriptions from card text; Interaction density and resilience from role tags and card text; Board-breaking and closing estimates from Extra Deck text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13) and tournament reliability
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty, so post-side scoring is unavailable
