Welcome to the Labrynth

While the Labrynth archetype hasn't changed much — with Loading... as its most recent addition — the environment around it has evolved. New trap cards, engines, and tech have emerged, many of which Labrynth can exploit to great effect.

Most existing guides haven’t kept pace with these shifts, so this guide aims to consolidate up-to-date information on support, tech, and variants into one cohesive resource.

Whether it’s through new trap support or hybrid engine variants, Labrynth continues to evolve — but remains the same control-loving, trap-holic deck at heart.

Playstyle: Control – Grind

Difficulty: Medium – Very Hard

The Archetype

Labrynth is a control archetype built to slow the game down — often by identifying choke points in your opponent’s strategy and shutting them down with Normal Traps. Through layered card interactions, recursion, and precise timing, Labrynth steadily builds advantage while keeping the opponent trapped within its walls.

Expect games to stretch into long, attrition-based duels, with your strongest plays often unfolding on the opponent’s turn — due to the nature of Trap Cards. Thinking beyond the current turn and how your opponent may respond or pivot will help players sequence their traps to the fullest extent.

Labrynth performs best going first, where it can set up traps and take control of the game. However, unlike many combo decks, going second doesn’t fundamentally alter its plan — you’ll still rely on setting traps and playing reactively. The key difference is surviving the opponent’s setup — making precise timing and having enough responses more important than ever.
