ive been seeing people talking abt rikka support, what are you referring to? is there new support coming? TY

@@roach2107 yup with legacy of destruction a new archetype is coming to the game that ressembles tri-brigade, a bunch of insect/plant/reptile monsters with hight synergy to climb up to powerful link monsters, and it's called "Raika", I've been testing it for a week now and it seems promising! (Even though it's probably a better engine for ogdoadic or beetroopers)

@@raguiroussel awesome! thank you for the reply. I am super new to YGO and loving traptrix so far, have had decent luck with 3x structure plus a few cheap cards

Not really I am sorry to say it definitely is a budget deck but you do need a little bit more than the structures. Handtraps are a must, same with parallel exceed and the ty-phon in the extra deck. Many of the expensive cards can be removed if you’re playing at the local level but I’d say those that I just listed are mandatory

@@tomp68 that’s fine just wanted to know what are the specific extra I will need to add if you could list them ALL I’ll buy em for sure, wanted to try out a control deck for once so I saw traptrix it’s budget friendly and looks easy to play

@@olietgaby8954id say ty-phon, 3 sera, allomerus, rafflesia, pingulicula, atypus are the only mandatory cards. Zeus kind of too. You can get away with playing a lot of varied stuff but those are the like most relevant and the ones you HAVE to play

@@tomp68 I got Zeus ( Do I need more copies?) from 2 player set I could probably get parallel exceed with my voiceless voice deck comming in

@@olietgaby8954 So, looking at several traptrix budget decks, profiles, combos, and regional level consistency, this is the $50 deck I was able to make using TCGPlayer, most cards were less than 25 cents each, some $1 cards here and there, but you have your work cut out for you if you have 3 Traptrix structure decks: 19 Main Deck: 3 Pudica 3 mantis 3 nyrmeleo 2 dionaea 2 arachacampa 3 Parallel exceed 3 ash blossom [$3 each] 3 Spells: 1 pot of prosperity 1 traptantilizing tune 1 traptrix garden 18 Trap: 3 traptrix holeutea 2 floodgate trap hole 2 traptrix hole nightmare 1 terrifying trap hole nightmare 1 bottomless trap hole 3 gravediggers trap hole 3 evenly matched 3 infinite impermanence [$4 each] 15 Extra Deck, 10 of which are Traptrix, can cut all to 1, except Sera: 3 sera 2 pinguicula 2 rafflesia 1 allomerus 2 attypus 3 Must Haves: 1 AA-Zeus [$12 each] 1 Super Starslayer TY-PHON [$40 each] 1 Time thief redoer Depending on your locals: 1 Number 70 1 Mekk Knight Crusadia Avramax 1 Rikka Queen Strenna 1 Teardrop the Rikka Queen 1 aromaseraphy jasmine 1 Abyss Dweller 1 S:P Little Knight ($140 card at the moment lol) Hope this helped.

I know this is a month old, but do you have a decklist? this sounds bonkers

Thank you! I love gold sarc but I do think it's a bit too slow for zombies, just because they can kill so quickly and there isn't really a good generic target besides future fusion. Dark Grepher is probably crazy in the list, I just haven't tried him yet. You'd probably be normaling him though since there aren't many good targets to pitch for his SS effect.

Thank you for the kind words! So tbh BA and Shaddoll have a pretty low power level right now, and have been pretty weak for a few years. RDA is good in theory but needs the bystial engine and some dragon cards to supplement it. The traptrix structure deck is strong and needs pretty minimal additions to it to Make it viable, there are certainly some locals you could take 3x of the structure deck to and do well. I’d say picking up 3 of the traptrix structure deck and some of the staples I showcase in the deck profile and you’d be likely to have success. RDA is also viable but more costly to upgrade

@tomp68 thanks heaps for your insight man

@@tomp68 how do you go 2nd with the deck into boards?

@@zanesmith6850 you play evenly, shifter, ash, imperm so you have some versatile going second cards. Mostly going into a board you try to break it or weaken it with imperm/evenly or handtraping earlier. If you open like all traptrix names you're probably cooked game one going second. The deck needs to see going second cards to actually go second, the engine itself doesn;t do enough into a board.

@tomp68 oh true. is siding fairly easy with the deck? appreciate you answering all my questions man. definitely going to drop a sub !
