Introduction
The "Traptrix" are mysterious creatures that live deep in the southern forests and pray on organisms that wander too close. Since their existence was discovered, researchers have been fascinated by their unique methods of capturing prey.
From the TCG Structure Deck: Beware of Traptrix Dueling Guide
Your main goal is putting Loading... on the field, then lure your opponent into committing resources, punishing them for wandering on the field with your many traps and finally, finishing the duel with the extra resources Loading... accumulated.
If you want to build this deck, you will want to open the Secret Pack Mother Nature's Snare, to unlock it you can craft any UR or SR of the Traptrix archetype. I would recommend getting either Loading... (SR) or Loading... (UR) because you need a playset of those cards.
This deck is a control deck, meaning resource management is key. If you want to manage your resources the best way is to know how most of the other decks work to interrupt at the right time. Furthermore, since your archetype is based on trap cards, it is quite slow and the games you will play may last longer than most other archetypes. However, do not fear as they are multiple variants that are easier than others making the deck playable for almost anyone.
Remember, the core of the deck is small, so it is very easy to use other engines with Traptrix! There isn't just one correct way to play the deck, so don’t be afraid to try out new ideas that may not be listed in this guide!
Deck Difficulty: Medium, Depends on Game Knowledge and Variant
Core Cards
Before explaining all the cards of the deck, we will give you a list of core cards to use when playing Traptrix. If you want to play Traptrix, this is the bare minimum you need to make the deck work. Then you may add more Traptrix monsters, traps and other cards to complete your deck.
Main Deck Traptrix
The main deck monster Traptrix are all unaffected by "Hole" traps which makes the mirror match one of the most dreadful mirror matches in YuGiOh. Most of your monsters have an effect on Normal and Special Summon.
Traptrix Myrmeleo
Traptrix Mantis
Your bread and butter, it is highly recommended to play both of them at 3. Loading... is your monster searcher and Loading... searches for any "Hole" Traps.
Loading... can also return to your hand any of your set Spell/Traps and put them back on the field. Great to avoid targeting removal such as Loading... or Loading... . You may return to the hand a Trap set by Loading... to keep them on the field or to trigger Loading... easily. Loading... also works wonders with Loading... since you will be able to summon her via Loading... effect and return to the hand the card you got from Loading... to your hand before its banished or removed from the field by your opponent. Finally, trying to return a Trap set by the effect of Loading... will just banish the trap instead of returning it to your hand.
Loading... , when Special Summoned, will destroy an opponent's Spell/Trap. This is a Mandatory effect that will activate regardless of your opponent having a target or not. This means Loading... effect will trigger as well if you summon her on the first turn.
