It’s a shame that when you buy the three structures, Pak’s knowledge of the game doesn’t come with it

Pak selling this traptrix structure deck better than konami ever could

[@latiosexing362]

I see no lies here. He's the reason I picked up this deck. I am currently running the build from this video. I haven't upgraded it beyond that so far. But it's fun to play.

[@thehereandnow8673]

One thing I've seen some people forget is pudicas interaction with Pinguicula. If you banish a special summoned monster with pudica, you can opt to attach it to Pinguicula, so they won't have the option to resummon that original banished monster in particular come next standby phase

[@UncannyAura]

Didn't even think of that!

[@yasharthpandey6317]

They can just Special Summon any other banished monster. It's still good removal, but not amazing. Now it obviously shouldn't be like Mirrorjade, but it gives your opponent any banished monster back.

[@thehereandnow8673]

@@yasharthpandey6317 I'm not saying it circumvents the effect entirely, but if it's something particular problematic you banished and against kashtira, for example means they won't have access to that monster with birth etc

Gage already recorded episode 2 and its editing, said thia on Stream

[@duellegend71]

Yet gage still quit his other series with the salamangreat sealed only so yea checkmate

[@ljaquos]

To be fair, this is a cut and pasted together stream. Gage's sealed only series has a lot more editing put into it and voiceover.

[@PJTMercury]

One of the most satisfying series to watch! I can't wait to see this deck grow stronger as the series progresses!

[@cristiancaminoalonso6305]

Hi Pak! I want you to know that I'm gonna go all the way on Building on a Budget with you and I'm gonna follow all the way on this episodes to see how I can improve not only on the game but with struggles and happiness that this type of videos can do to the community! All the best and I'll keep you posted for this one's and all the other ones. From Dublin. Regards.

[@SageKillah]

I really enjoyed that there was no commentary put over the games in post. Puts a really relaxing calming vibe to the games and didn't distract from the plays being made. I would definitely like to see this style more in the future.

[@Monkeyman12534]

I'm watching this and its hard AF to hear and tell what's happening without knowing all the cards exactly

[@Felstory]

[@eljeanious]

Bro shoutout to you man! Not only you top regionals and tournerys with innovative deck building but you got a twitch and youtube channel showing and giving back to the yugioh community. Appreciate it.

[@clappo3762]

Hey PAK! I would really enjoy a video where you explain what you side in and out for various match ups. You have so much knowledge of the game and being able to see your reasoning for why you do certain things would be awsome!

[@stuckmeister7750]

This structure is kind of nuts, I can't believe it's straight up playable out of the box. Full extra and everything.

[@nightwish7074]

Literally my only criticism of the structure is that it didn't come with a Time Thief Redoer. It's as mandatory for the deck as Rafflesia. But other than that, it's really solid.

[@SwagMaster824]

@@nightwish7074how so? What does Redoer offer the deck?

[@metascrub285]

​@@SwagMaster824 outs to big bodies once they are already summoned.

[@ljaquos]

@@SwagMaster824 The deck puts traps under Xyz monsters super easy, so redoer almost always has his effect to spin big dudes. But even then ultra redoers are like a buck.

[@nightwish7074]

@@ljaquos Yeah like, I'm not exactly aching for a Redoer reprint per se. I just think if they wanted the deck to be close to optimal straight out of the box, Redoer would be a no-brainer.

Hope you upload more videos like this with different decks. It's a chill environment and as spectators we learn a lot of things and interactions

[@lowhouston2824]

Amazing! 😮 love seeing content like this.

[@BoBoLoLiLol]

Round 5, you can't summon Myrm with Sera, 'cause you already control Myrm. Sera must summon a monster with a different name. Good job anyway !

[@glk113]

Would this have mattered? Pak could summon a different name then use garden to summon myrm that way no?

[@glk113]

(Though you are right in calling out the misplay)

[@mysteryman595]

So many useful tips for newer traptrix players. Much appreciated!

[@saviorlemons]

This is the first video I've seen from you and already I am thoroughly impressed by your skill at this game.

[@tomerator]

3X dimensional barrier in the side or even main for like 3$ in trades will give him so many more free wins it would be insane

[@kingjaeher]

Episode 1, season is over!!! Pak too smooth with it!

[@thomasfaraone4213]

Hey Pak, why hold Raigeki on match 1 game 2? I’m looking at that Denko turning your traps off. I guess them having a monster prevents the specials from hand but was it a “if they have they have it, Or If they don’t I punish them more with whatever they summon” ?

[@GloomYGO]

Thank you so much for this amazing guide, although in Australia most locals cost 15$ and we only get 4 packs max. This’ll help a lot as I won’t need to run around and search for more needed cards just to get the deck to 40 cards. Thanks Pak! (P.S - do you recommend adding 1 or 2 Anti-Spell fragrance? This deck is a trap deck so I think it’ll only affect the opponent.) In round 2 - Game 2 at the start was it just me who heard; SKIBIDI DOP MU DADA

[@Soriichi]

Always wanted to learn this deck. Thank Pak

[@matthewholland4782]

[@chlobot69420]

I played Traptrix tonight at locals for the first time (basically 3 structures + Parallel eXceed + Book of Moon + Kurikara + the Therion package), went 3-1-1. I’m shocked that Pak opened a Network Trap Hole in his OTS pack and said it wasn’t good that card was one of the best cards in the deck all night. It was crazy against Kashtira, Branded, Spright, and Ninjas. I didn’t play against Lab but theoretically it’s great against them too.

Game 3 in the first match, when you had Sera, Mantis and the Field Spell, you could have activated the graveyard effect of Tantalizing Tune to recycle the Holetaea, Field Spell banish Mantis to SS Dionaea, Dionaea resets Holetaea, Sera sets another backrow and you're off to the races. Would have led to Rafflesia on summon #4 and you'd still have both your normal summons. Edit: Damn bro, four Kashtira and a Spright at *locals*? No wonder you're good at YGO, it's trial by fire over there. 😭

[@elijahwilliams6977]

Master Duel player thinking about getting into paper Yugioh someday, thanks for making this, made the deck look fun and competitive at a good price, definitely lowers barrier of entry I did have a question: as someone who has never been to locals for yugioh, why did some opponents have some art/sleeve just sort of sitting on the top middle of their playmat? (opponents in round 2, 4, and 5). Is that some sort of style thing people commonly do, or like a marker 'your cards can't go past this'? I've played lots of magic in paper and never seen anything like this

[@artiwatti1744]

Its a field center since both players share the extra monster zone for link monsters

[@stubbstcg9682]

Definitely suggest picking up an Aussa for Iblee along with Judgments. Others for ED Id say Bagooska, Redoer, Dweller, and something for damage in Xyz or Link form are good options. Main wise its a great time for experimenting with PHHY cards like Beargram as a BLS with backrow protection and the Circle of Fairies engine for extra normal and Field Spell fodder since the Level 3 is a free summon with an Insect or Plant in grave. Currently trying them and Big Welcome for Silver Lady since its a recurrance card with the Dragoon protection clause thats live with Brigadine and Holetea activations and follow-up with Big Welcome in grave.

[@CocTheElf]

Beargramm looks bricky. Lord of the Heavenly Prison is a better pick. Also you could technically search floodgates with Lord and bounce them with Mantis.

[@AkashTorus]

I think it's better to have both if you can because which one's better depends on the situation you're in. For e.g imperm won't work against monsters with quick effects if you don't time it right as they get to activate the effect before your imperm resolves, but if the quick effect is something like a special summon from deck (e.g ecclesia) ash can still negate it. Also imperm can only work for monsters on the field, ash can potentially negate effects from the hand/gy as well Just a beginner at this game though so don't take my word for it 😅 Edit: Had a brain fart and forgot imperm can be activated after the monster activates it's quick effect 😅

[@ventura9249]

5:42 what triggers sera's effect? ash can't be, cause it isn't a traptrix monster am I right?
