Traptrix Deck #775046 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Synchro/Link/Xyz mechanic tags
• 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: Boss monsters from the Ashtra Synchro/Xyz/Link pool (Akasuna, Yoa, Ashtraja Susanoo, Mikumari-no-Mikoto, Kuzuha, Traptrix Pinguicula/Allomerus) once a hand trap or Hole-protected line resolves; Traptrix Hole-based removal and Trap Hole chains that clear the opponent's board
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Traptrix or Hole monster to search a Hole/Traptrix card, set Traptantalizing Tune or a Normal Trap, then Special Summon an Ashtra monster from the Extra Deck route
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Nibiru, Droll & Lock Bird) to interrupt the opponent's first board, then convert the surviving Traptrix/Ashtra pieces into a Link or Xyz
• Recovery: Traptrix monsters recur from the GY (Traptrix Pudica, Dionaea, Allomerus) and Ashtra Traps can return to the hand or Extra Deck through the Ashtra Synchro/Xyz summon effects
• After siding: Not evaluable: no Side Deck is present in the export

Why it scores here

This 55-card OCG Traptrix/Ashtra list is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards, and it is capped because it is illegal: three copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring exceed the Semi-Limited limit of two. The archetype core (15 copies) gives an inferred P(at least one in an opening 5-card hand) of about 0.81, so the engine is usually reachable on turn 1 (Inferred). Interaction density is high, with 13 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards, and the going-second hand-trap probability is about 0.82 (Inferred). The list has no recorded boards, no tournament link, and no guides, so combo ceiling and median output rest on text-only reads and are scored with low confidence. Archetype popularity (usage stats show 6 of 13 core cards present) was not credited as power. The 0 side-deck cards give no post-side adaptability, and Meta Power stays provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); illegal_cap (-10). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*48.15 + 0.20*40 = 46.5; modifier -6 gives 40.5; Illegal cap applies, so the reported score is 30 (theoretical/structural-only, not a normal Final Contextual score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · 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 negation suite (13 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards) with good going-second interaction
• Compact Extra Deck coverage across Link, Xyz and Synchro with Ashtra boss ATK of 3000+
• Archetype core is reliably reachable (about 0.81 for at least one in an opening hand)

Weaknesses

• Illegal under OCG rules: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over its Semi-Limited copy limit
• Mixed sub-archetypes (Traptrix, Ashtra, Hole, Forbidden, Mulcharmy, Cyclone) lower engine coherence (exact-name purity 24.3 percent)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, so the combo output is unverified

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring copy count (must be cut to 2 before the deck is legal)
• Single-copy Ashtra boss and Traptrix engine cards, such as Traptrix Pinguicula and Ashtraja Susanoo, which the line depends on

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies vs legal limit 2 (Semi-Limited) in OCG BanList; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts, all within OCG size rules; Droll & Lock Bird and Harpie's Feather Duster and S:P Little Knight at 1 copy each, within their Limited status; Archetype core group: 15 copies, P open at least one in hand5 = 0.8108
• Inferred: Going-second hand-trap hit rate of about 0.82 (hypergeometric on 13 hand traps); Interaction density and negation quality read from card text; Dimension scores D1 to D14 and the 0.80/0.20 blend; Ashtra Synchro/Xyz/Link as the primary win condition
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament link or meta-share beyond archetype-level usage)
• 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 (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick and starter rates) exists in YGOVN No Side Deck in the export, so D12 and post-side plans are unevaluated Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
