Very informative video 👍

[@bv-im1fg]

goated video. Feel like people are always gatekeeping where to handtrap decks, and instead this community is filled with handtrap tierlists every 2 weeks

[@ellisl9137]

[@matthewbrady1562]

Good video, it would be good to see a Spreadsheet which include other handtraps- Retaliating C, Nibiru, Bystials etc. You've got a new subscriber 👍

ty man

[@andresmunoz1891]

I play race and it gets cooked by droll unless it has the outs already

[@tcgsam]

Good to know, I thought theyd always prioritize searching emergency first if possible

[@andresmunoz1891]

@ since droll isn’t played as much in the format, rescue ace typically baits with cards like wanted, witch, bonfire, etc so droll would block your plays, unless you know your opponent is on droll

[@gyattman27354]

Skibidi!

[@christophermiller1595]

I feel like ogre should be included in tjose hand traps.

[@tcgsam]

I wasn't trying to focus on specific handtraps to use, but rather "chokepoints" or good places to use your handtraps - ogre is definitely good

[@xepher258]

Never ash the WANTED it's bait hit the diabellstar

[@tcgsam]

The problem with that if you only have ash, then you have to wait to either hit deception or OSS since witch will resolve. Best case they use it normally and then get a draw off wanted, worst case if you held ash you get punished by hard drawn hallowed azamina. Won't happen often, but I figured I'd always rather let them not have the draw, but generally both should work fine

[@jonashandy3435]

This Video is full of missinformation and doesnt rly give correct insights into the deck. Best example is starting with bonfire doesnt mean they need to resolve it to Combo. Its Very Possible for them to have Wanted/DIabelstar/Deception in hand to full combo anyway . Also Combinations with like Oak and other stuff is very thesable. Litearlly the Only Cards you can read that are not in hand are Kashtira Monsters , Snake Eye Ash , Fiendsmith Tract and Fusion spell + Sinful Card

[@jonashandy3435]

Thats why its obviously Incorrect to Ash Blossom bonfire in many situations , especially if you are playing against less expirienced players. Also you havent even talked about that you can use Handtraps against Snake eye to either Weaken the board or to attempt them from play completly etc

[@norn-sama3407]

so no one expects floo? I think I'll have a lot of fun

[@tcgsam]

If you don't brick the deck is fine, but I think it just bricks too much/folds to 1 handtrap
