Traptrix Deck #772576 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Traptrix Xyz boards (Pinguicula, Allomerus, Rafflesia) and Utopia/Number Xyz finishers built from Normal-Summoned Traptrix monsters and Hole traps; Hole-trap removal and negation (Void Trap Hole, Gravedigger's Trap Hole, Terrifying Trap Hole Nightmare, Floodgate Trap Hole) grinding the opponent's board
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Traptrix Pudica or Myrmeleo to search Traptrip Garden / a Hole trap, then extend via Garden's extra Normal Summon into a Traptrix Xyz
• Turn 2 (going second): Set Holeutea / Hole traps and use Hole-immune Traptrix monsters to force negations, then Xyz Summon through the opponent's disruption
• Recovery: Traptrix Nepenthes and Traptrix Dionaea recover Traptrix monsters from the GY when a Hole trap is activated, and Small World / Myrmeleo re-search the next starter
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck plays the same 40 + 15 in every game

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Traptrix line: about 88% of hands include at least one of the 13 searcher-text cards (Inferred), and the 18 Traptrix-family monsters give repeated Normal Summons that fetch Traptrip Garden or a Hole trap. Its strength comes from the system, not from any single card: Hole-immune monsters, 16 traps that double as removal and negation, and graveyard recursion (Nepenthes, Dionaea) let it keep a board after one disruption. Closing power is solid through 2500-ATK Xyz monsters and Utopia's negation, but no recorded boards exist, so median output is scored low and labelled Inferred. Popularity was not rewarded (archetype core coverage is only 20%, so this list is a loose variant), and no card scores were averaged. Side deck is empty, so the post-side dimension is scored low.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary; D13 dropped and weights renormalised over 95 for a meta-neutral Structural score. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: empty_side_deck (-3); engine_dilution (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Structural 59.4 from D13-dropped renormalised weights)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · 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 searcher text (13 cards) gives a high chance of at least one searcher-enabled opening
• Hole-immune Traptrix monsters and recursion keep the engine alive through one interruption
• Several layers of Hole and negation removal
• Compact 40-card main with 3-copy starters

Weaknesses

• No side deck; no post-side adaptation
• Xyz slots split across several archetypes, which lowers engine coherence
• Trap-heavy main deck can produce dead hands without a Traptrix monster
• No recorded boards; median output cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Normal Summon of a Traptrix monster is required for most lines, so a hand with only traps or spells stalls
• Traptrip Garden is the single extra-Normal-Summon enabler; losing it to hand traps or removal slows the engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 are within OCG size rules (0-15 side allowed); All 40 Main and 15 Extra cards are Unlimited; no restricted cards; Archetype exact-name purity 43.6% and role tag counts are computed from the list; Archetype core list covers 3 of 15 core cards (20%)
• Observed: No boards recorded, so no combo output was measured
• Inferred: Structural score 59 from weighted dimensions; Consistency read: P(at least 1 searcher in hand 5) ≈ 0.88; Engine coherence reduced by mixed Xyz sub-archetypes; Interaction density from card text (27 removal-text, 5 negation-text)
• Provisional: Meta Power null; no dated meta sample; D13 matchup fit unscored in Structural because no meta 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 match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied side deck empty, so post-side dimension rests on composition only
