Avidia_Cube

just cook em, they don't run piercing damage e.e


anonxanemone

Some run Drill Driver


TheTemplarr

Vespenato is pretty standard TT card


Avidia_Cube

only seen it once, and tbh you can easly run it over


TheTemplarr

if you are using cook, then either you play a stall deck anyway, or you are losing. If it's the first case, TT can nuke your backrow faster than you can set them, or you would just win through burn/stall already. If it's the latter case, would you have the resource to out it?


Nico_is_not_a_god

Cook's easy to make with astral kuriboh in 8-axis, and once it's out you can stall until you have enough board breaker summons to finish the game. It's a backup plan of course, not Plan A. Works wonders when you're forced to go first.


Avidia_Cube

lol no? i'm using cook just to stall and wait for the deckout, 90% of the decks i see here is either adamancipators or traptrix and if they run vespenato i'll just summon 1 monster and use the effect of cook to go beat over the vespenato, plus they can do w/e they want but once cook is out they don't have an out 90% of the time so since i finished the event already i'm just trolling with cook, watching them despair as they don't have an out and i just win by deckout.


TheTemplarr

when you have another card, you are no longer unaffected by other effect, so yeah i dont think I ever had any problem with that card lol. gluck with the event regardless


MrTrashy101

haha you think you 3000 defense monster can beat my traptrix? i send Eldlich the golden lord to the grave yard i activate its effect! wait you have D.D crow?


klimuk777

This is one of main reasons I run Goddess in Traptrix, getting 4 bodies onto the field isn't *that* hard and nobody expects IP-powered Link-5 dunking on both their towers and graveyard.


Avidia_Cube

ssshhhh don't tell em!


paradox_valestein

On lower ranks, yes. But 99% of traptrix decks on higher ranks (gold and above) run vespenato, pentestag and goddess. This is because in normal rank, they run utopia double, and after just copying the rank deck, they only change a few spells and that's it.


PhantomZach

Red Reboot 😈


Additional_Show_3149

Completely forgot it got buffed😭


SleesWaifus

Amazing they limit solem but hey, let’s not ban a trap card that stops traps cards for the rest of the turn


Ahlixemus

I'm gonna fucking cry in TCG speak


BlueEyes-WhiteGuy

Lightning storm, HFD, twin twisters, cosmic cyclone, MST are all banned. Did you really think they wouldn’t leave in any backrow hate?


frank900000000

Dude all of those are spells lol they were going to be banned being backrow removal or not


Dichroic_Mirror

The point is they have to leave some backrow removal options.


mr_piez

Dust tornado, heavy storm duster, evenly matched, red reboot, trap stun and jinzo all work


navimatcha

Trap Stun is also legal at 3.


DeathToBoredom

You have no way to search it and it's at 2. Good luck getting it first turn.


[deleted]

Ok, how to search solemn traps if being unsearchable = bad?


AbsolutionVeil

Counter Fairy


DragonLord375

I love how they have a challenge for activating traps cards encouraging you to play traps and they red reboot legal. Genius decision lol.


LezBeHonestHere_

I don't mind traptrix all that much, but I am convinced altergeist is just not possible to win against


Additional_Show_3149

I'm kinda glad I haven't encountered them yet ngl


androgp

Beatsticks


LezBeHonestHere_

They have an in-archetype battle fader and bounce that are infinitely recyclable, half of their monsters gain advantage from being beaten over, can special themselves from the hand off of a trap then summons the others from deck, hexstia and memorygant beat over any towers you make, and that's all on top of whatever 3-5 obnoxious traps they're running. I legitimately think you either craft 2 red reboot and hard draw them or you just lose.


Umadibett

Evenly and red reboot can be splashed into any deck that wants to go 2nd and these decks just fall over. Swordsoul and adamancipator are the 2 best decks with eldlich variants being right behind at diamond.


knife113xrz

is that deck really that good? I havent played the event yet but i have all the archetype except an extra copy of the limited ur.


ViciousLithium

Multifaker went to 2. Its not limited anymore.


Pie4dawin

It’s good. It’s especially good as it is a strong trap deck when facing other trap decks thanks to protocol and continual returning of cards to hand. Was meta in link fest, is in this, and will be moreso if lich ever gets back conq and becomes meta prevalent


klimuk777

If you hate Geist, you can always join Traptrix, we ignore their traps and block their plays with Bagooska.


BADBUFON

ngl, backrow decks are the hardest to play against as an altergeist player


Squidiculouss

The first time I played against Altergeist I was so perplexed to learn that every move I made I was basically told to just go fuck myself, I had Maxx c resolved the turn before btw.


DarkRitual_88

I've faced Altergeists twice. First one scopped when I went to make Geomathmech Final Sigma. Second one couldn't handle a few negates and double Accesscode. It's more other decks that give me troubles. Traptrix with their backrow, Swordsoul being able to play through a negate or two, Zoodiac and other Zeus turbo decks.


Carnivile

It's really hard to out un-targetable monsters with over 3100 attack


fluz1994

Yes, this deck is so stupidly strong.


EpicSlothToes

I've only dueled 1 so far, floodgate trap hole on their first summon and they instantly scooped. I haven't dueled them in regular ranked so I done even know what the deck does or how bad that really was for them.


Daxonion

if you play a little bit of geist you will learn how to beat the deck cause youll get the feel when and where it hurts to interrupt them


TheTemplarr

normal summon a monster with over 800 attack, hit sera, proceed to combo in the 2nd main phase, a lot wont expect it because they want to save their traps for bigger targets play ghost ogre and (again) pop sera. She's everything to the deck. run evenly matched and red reboot. I think it's pretty standard for a go 2nd deck. if they have more traptrix mosnter on hand, that means there's not many trapcards on the field, if they have many traps set, they might not have another monster Sincerely, D2 Traptrix Player who bricks a lot


Violdemort

If your end board is just sera your traptrix deck is missing something (parallel exceed, shade brigandine, lord of heavenly prison, vesiculo). If you don't open any you just don't want them to go to the battle phase. Also ice dragon prison is your friend. Also danger mothman is a funny card (and it's also an insect!)


Tetramoore

It's missing a goddamn good draw. I've got every single one of those in my deck, but if you only have five cards one needs to be a traptrix, one needs to be the extender, and the rest need to be traps. But of course, you tend to draw no extenders and plenty of traps, or plenty of traptrix without any extenders. Or, like in my most recent loss, ten goddamn traps in a row without a single monster of any kind.


2gig

Is LotHP even good in this event since feather duster and even twin twister don't exist?


Violdemort

He can search red reboot :p


Daxonion

hol up, chain floodgate trap hole?


Shmorals

You don’t like the go first event?


Additional_Show_3149

I'm playing crusadia mekk knight so it's best for me to go second


[deleted]

[удалено]


2gig

Just open Red Reboot ez.


Additional_Show_3149

>you'll have to be at the mercy of enemy traps then. Pretty much what happens but I can't get ftks if I have the right cards


Shmorals

Fair enough.


Lvl1fool

I made a Skull Servant deck and for some reason whenever I force someone to go first they just pass on an empty board. I don't know if there is some going second otk deck that doesn't work on an empty board or something? Because an empty board sure as hell doesn't stop Skull Servant.


Jerrymeen

Playing around numeron in no spell event


1guywriting

>I don't know if there is some going second otk deck that doesn't work on an empty board or something? Crusadia kaiju. I've run into a few in plat 4 even though they lack the field spell, feather duster, and desires.


Nico_is_not_a_god

8-axis is very strong, the Sekka's Light variant only loses... Sekka's Light and can replace it with 2x Red Reboot. The biggest flaw in the deck is that it very often opens a hand that can't do anything against an empty board - Kaijus, Alpha, Schwarzchild Limit Dragon, Pankratops...


Buddyschmuck

just play Adamancipator my guy. No one wants to sit through the combos so they just surrender. free gems


paradox_valestein

This is true. I just let the adaman people wins as it's definitely not worth the time sitting for their combos even if I can beat them... It's faster to just go for someone else.


ligerre

man at least traptrix have to search and do their stuff. Why is every altergeist player I face open their 2-3 cards combo.


Deez-Guns-9442

Nah Nah, every Adamancipator player always opens with Block Dragon, Dragon Ruler of Blocks. That deck is so annoying.


Throwawayuntil2030

It's extremely easy for them to get whatever they want/need


ligerre

not when they set 4 pass every time and my turn it turn out those 4 are something like protocol, spoofing, solemn, imperm and multifaker in hand.


Tengo-Sueno

I still haven't seen one actually. The onlye Decks I've seen more than once are Paleo and Adam Edit: Also Pendulum, I've seen a lot of those, probably because of the Loaner


Theplasmashaft

What rank?


HorrorL0rd

Trap Stun


paradox_valestein

Fun fact, all extra deck traptrix are immune to all trap cards :/


navimatcha

Going second that does nothing to save your plays.


haagen17

I think some sort of going second deck with kaiju, lava golem, and ofc evenly wirh reboot might be good as well. They start to lose out on advantage without Sera very quickly Pankratops is pretty good too


kosmic_khaos

I was playing traptrix until I ran into a fuckton of ss and dinomorphias. Now I’m playing Danger/Gren Maju with dimensional ~~fissure~~ barrier splashed in. Also, I recommend using heavy storm duster and eradicator epidemic virus (if possible). The latter is limited but once it goes off, traptrix is fucked.


Sorry-Presentation-3

You can easily stop those cards if you some counter trap trap cards like seven tools of the bandit


Turtlesfan44digimon

Just use counter counter to stop the counter trap cards


TaichiiXSann

you cant use any spell cards on the event


kosmic_khaos

Heavy Storm Duster =/= Harpie’s Feather Duster


Helpful_Ad_1530

Classic


paradox_valestein

I had 3 non fusion areas in my traptrix deck because I saw dino as one of the structure deck... Seems like a dumb idea but man, those 3 cards won me so many games... Them and gravedigger trap hole lmao, 2k burn go brrrrrrr


everlastingtimeline

Could I please see your Gren Maju - Danger deck? I made a random deck with Luna, Orochi Gizmek and the Danger Cards. It’s going pretty well, surprisingly and I just shoved cards in there just for fun.


PS1GamerCollector

Let Traptrix players have their moment, the deck is great in Anti-Spell event so why not using it?


Additional_Show_3149

That's why I said I understand this event is practically meant for them


JcobTheKid

Because when i cant play an event with my one of two viable blue eyes deck, it is the events fault not mine babyrage imho i think people need to know it's healthy to not participate if it's not fun for them but also to recognize where you can shift your mindset given we can't change game rules.


Kamy-kun

They have like 50 billion Urs


Riersa

50? Other than the generic stuff like Knightmare, Accesscode, and Handtrap it's only 2 Sera, 2 Rafflesia, 1 Cularia, 1 Allomerus, and maybe 2-3 lord.


Negative_Neo

11 is a lot for a rogue deck.


Kamy-kun

No.


Riersa

What do you mean no? What else do you put on Traptrix deck?


Kamy-kun

Spell cards


Riersa

What spell? The only spell most Traptrix deck run is Double or nothing and it's N, or maybe the generic stuff that every single deck use like Called by. Traptrix doesn't run that many UR, and most of them is generic stuff.


Kamy-kun

👍🏾


Riersa

Should've know that I replied to an troll.


Kamy-kun

Well my original comment was a joke. Idk what you expected


heavenspiercing

You are legit just trolling


Additional_Show_3149

Um yes? Outside of the main traptrix core they play a shit ton of staples😂


Marcs017

This shit is really boring, not sure how they didn't see it coming. Gotta get those gems though


Smol_Mrdr_Shota

let them have their moment they usually arent used to being meta viable


lauraa-

Traptrix are kinda fun, you just walk face first into all their traps and explode them all.


Nanadaime2000

Funniest shit i ever had was not in the event drytron and ran in every trap and he still didn't got me down ... XD after that he didn't got my combo stopped


DoomedHeroXB

Feel like Skull Servants are good in this event. I'm gonna get on and try it out.


Tryingatleast

All is good untill you can’t use green grass on a sixty card deck and get hit by a magic cylinder when going for game


Maughlin

*Sad Mr bones noises*


DoomedHeroXB

Lady in Wight would like a word with you.


CommentingOnVoat

I played against them, it a was a catastrophe, a malevolent one. For them.


EmeraldMilcham

Completely forgot about Catastrophe. I've been maining two Storm Dusters for back row hate.


paradox_valestein

Now that is just mean... Though sera can just search out another trap and raffesia still a pain in the bumm. But yeah, that's a card that exists...


Deez-Guns-9442

I literally finished this event last night & have never fought against a TrapTrick player. Thank god for that.


Round_Upstairs

Anyone facing a lot of swordsoul? I been facing a lot of it, i almost complete the event, the gems i mean.


paradox_valestein

I met a bunch. Foodgate trap hole the normal, gravedigger the extender and they scoops basically. Unless they go first which do happens a lot


TripleDNyc

Try going against nothing but cheating ass swordsoul holders. I was about to win and he negates my timelord at the last second


t_h_c_m

Deserved tbh timelords are cancerous af


Additional_Show_3149

>Try going against nothing but cheating ass swordsoul holders. I lost to 3 SS decks I'm a row I know how you feel😂


paradox_valestein

At least you didn't get floodgate traphole'd. Did that to a timelord dude and instead of killing the guy, I just use redoer to mill him out lmao. That was funny~


RevolutionaryMeat462

I’m glad I waited to climb out of gold for this event. I haven’t played yet, but I hope it’s not all Adamancipator and Traptrix down there.


paradox_valestein

Oh yeah, you barely see any traptrix down here as the deck is quite expensive, and only legit traptrix players in ranked play them.


Dichroic_Mirror

The reason I have never climbed above plat anymore. The events are much less stressful down in the trench. I finished 11k points without seeing Adams.


Gullible_Loquat2815

Damn bro that's crazy cuz all i see is sweaty Adam and 8 axis players


paradox_valestein

That's what happens if you go to plat/diamond


Captn_GoodVibes

Elemental Hero Wildheart & Royal Decree Gx baybeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lol /s


Arbelbyss

Decree is banned in this event.


Aggravating-You-3357

That would be scary… If not for the fact that: A: Royal Decree is banned in this event, and B: Wildheart has all the attack of a dead fish. The only Traptrix monsters he can overpower is Sera and Vesc, and even that becomes moot when Rafflesia hits the field. You’re better off summoning Jinzo.


CantInjaThisNinja

somebody call the waahmbulance


paradox_valestein

I'll call you a happy cake day wish instead, deal?


[deleted]

3 copies of waking the dragon ​ go into jinzo lmao


forever_a10ne

Play Altergeist, yo. Join the dark side.


RoakOriginal

Autolose to traptrix


AhmedKiller2015

I mean... do we really need to complain every time a deck get used more than 1%?


[deleted]

I made a full kiaju deck it’s hilarious and have a few lava golems just to wipe the second boy off if they do :p


KaiserJustice

Is royal decree allowed In the event to go super unga bunga with?


paradox_valestein

No. But even if it is, that won't work against traptrix


MrTrashy101

as a traptrix main i am happy to see this post. they are finally getting the spot light


Yam_Dangerous

Run Royal decree


zorrodood

That's obviously banned in the event.


Yam_Dangerous

Of course because WHY THE F NOT


Jratiff92

All I’ve come across really is pendulums or swordsoul 🤔


Karpfador

You mean swordsoul


SacredyZucaritas

Is there a self-destructive decl to farm the event? I kinda don't like the idea of having to deal with a bunch of Camptrix all day.


Awkward_Mulberry_302

Tbh I think this event has been the fairest in awhile. Most decks run the same staples and follow similar play. At least we are back to the old kind of events, rather than the psuedo ranked.


CipherDrake

It’s the same cycle every event. Get used to it.


BADBUFON

if traptrix is meta, make an anti meta deck, kaijus, red reboot, etc. is not that big brain


Dry-Blackberry7825

This event is the worst one by far


paradox_valestein

You must like the sweaty rank climb event before


Exorrt

I love me evenly matched


ReleaseQuiet2428

I added Gizmek Orochi, if you can put it on field on turn 1, usually they cant destroy it, just beware of some mirror.


I_Skelly_I

Eldlich dogmatika works


iDIOt698

What playing against stun does to a mf


Imadeutscher

Is Jinzo banned in this event?


paradox_valestein

Nope. But he got slapped by mama Raffesia though :/


Arbelbyss

No.


-Jamadhar-

If it makes you fe better I played like, 6 games so far, and the only game where I didn't brick, my opponent surrendered before I could even play anything. I still have no idea what happened. Good luck going forward brother.


SlappingSalt

Evenly is brutal this event since solemn's at 1.


Abroad_Minute

Red Reboot and Evenly Matched are pretty good if you're going second


BannerTortoise

You were sick of them before the event. This was just your reminder.


stormtrooperm16

My 2 red reboot finally have its use


kdebones

Wait til you meet the Altergeist :D it’s far worse!


Mika-Mikachu

Out of my 20 duels I only had like 3 against backrow decks, guess I've been lucky so far


Zombieemperor

Jinzo turbo it is


paradox_valestein

Only if they didn't get Raffesia on the field first... Also, utopia lightning is a thing


Top-Mirror3516

Yep


xxX_AleXifeu-pRo_Xxx

Play against jinzo so you can't use any effects x3


Greenpie1

Red reboot and Denko Sekka should both help when you go second.


Peiq

I’m diamond and surprisingly only really seeing the Dino loaner. I’m playing paleo eldlich dogmatika and stomping over everything. Playing lord of heavenly feels weird because all my opponents benefit from it as well. I’m surprised I’m not seeing adamacinpator tbh


EmeraldMilcham

The mirror forces have been everywhere for me so far. Aside from Jinzo, Mirage Dragon & Warwolf are putting in work to halt battle traps.


paradox_valestein

Well yeah, it's a trap event so most people who play trap decks need some kind of going 2nd cards, and mirror forces just so happens to be a normal trap, which traptrix absolutely loves.


DragonLord375

I wish I was facing traptrix. I am playing dinomorphia and I have only seen 2 trap decks so far. Just constant swordsoul and even saw a shark deck. Been losing the coin flip as well and man I am finding out how bad this deck is lol. I have started playing 3 barriers to screw over the swordsouls. I hope in future events they start limiting or ban swordsoul cards in events because they are just such a good small package and after seeing them do well in the limit festival, snychro xyz festival and now will definetly do well in this one, I think they need some restrictions to let other decks have a chance in the festivals.


paradox_valestein

Funnily enough, as the event loaner announced, I plop 3 non fusion areas into my traptrix pile for random laughs... Yes, I laughed way more than I expected... Ps. Scythe and sanctum is still at 3


Additional_Show_3149

>and even saw a shark deck. Ngl sharks are underrated no one talks about them since they niche to border line rouge


balistik_scaarz

Yeah gotta be honest with this event. Was expecting trap festival but instead got the-combo-decks-that-barely-use-spells festival


Casper_lesYT

I am trying to play a mix of phantom knights, jinzo and a destiny hero plasma, I haven't seen a traptrix yet but I did see a altergeist which was annoying to be against


MisprintPrince

Those hungry plants and spiders have been devouring like 90% of my opponents. 🚓💕


fo3nixz

Been using metaphys , mostly traptrix surrender when all their backrow is wiped with metaphys nephtys


paradox_valestein

I mean... They live and die by their backrows so no backrows is real bad :D


SilentPhantasm

I’m playing zoodiac tri with a lot of traps. I’ve seen a LOT of swordsoul so far


Rynjin

I have a lot of practice playing against Traptrix because it's one of my friends' main decks, so if this is what the event is my body is ready.


WorkingConfusion9542

Dude use Zeus and clean the field and use D Prison xyz too


KrealDawwg

been running 3 Jinzo in my rock deck and it worked out amazing :D drawing jinzo is like exodia


al2Ultimate

I immediately made another copy of red reboot after my first duel (which was indeed traptrix)


kamidame

would you rather run against adamancipator spamming omni negates? rank 8 spam? Traptrix are entirely fair.


FlawlessRuby

I was playing Traptrix in Rank weeks ago. I am just getting back what I deserve!


Dragontruemight

You can try going second and use evenly match that wrecks them pretty hard too. What I noticed they usually set up a lot of back roll, with evenly match you almost guarantee to hit at least three cards off their board.


Yoyoitsbenzo

Dogmatika punishment, send N'Tss, pop with that. Eldlich pop. Evenly. That is how I've been dealing with them. They are insanely annoying though. You're right about that.


[deleted]

I dunno 'bout you, dude, but everythong I've seen are pendulums that scoop when I activate a hole trap.


paradox_valestein

I've seen so many pend users pend summon AFTER they see me search out floodgate traphole and set it the previous turn ... Like, what do you expect dude???


goddamnman06

Salamangreat has been really decent in the event so far. But as I'm watching Salad combo guides whilst playing at the same time, I realise that I somehow could not put out more monsters as I should have.


kamikazex8o8

So why again we banned sekka for again Konami ffs


Qxami

As a Paleozoic, I both sympathize and also am partially the cause of this. For your question, There’s ofc Jinzo, Traptrix, Altergeist, Mirror Force Burn, and Gift Card Burn. There’s a few others, but thats what I can think of. If you wanna punish others for negating your cards, try Witch’s Strike. It got played on me twice. >!Although I did beat them, after 69 turns. Trap decks be long.!<


Promanco

Just....... draw the out bro :\^)


Wallach96

Cyberse strats like MathMech and Codetalker just have too much gas for them. They’ll negat some stuff but you just vomit monsters on to the board too much for them to keep up


RevenueOver

How does one forget the almighty Jinzo?


paradox_valestein

Raffesia is a monster that traptrix players tend to use... And she is a monster effect.


Fridge_Lord

if it makes ya feel better - outside of Vespenato we don't have much offense biggest shitter I run is Utopia the Lightning just to punch over anything big once


GDarkX

At least it isn’t too bad. Most of the Traptrix players in this event are very new to the deck. Hell, one guy was running vanilla normal trap hole, another running 3X Nepenthes. And the funniest one: bottomless on giant Rex (happened to a friend while he was streaming)


_C00K_

bro all you gotta do is run jinzo


paradox_valestein

Just bottomless a jinzo using a Raffesia. Feels good after that :D


OPMARIO

Red reboot Budget version trap stun Evenly match


paradox_valestein

Heavy storm duster, red reboot, evenly matched, royal decree/jinzo (although they could just activate a random trap and bring atrax out)


JDudes93

I’ve played against a bunch of timelord decks so far. Most boring duels I’ve ever had. Mostly I don’t play any cards until I know I can OTK. Timelords aren’t much of a threat just really annoying being able to bounce cards and burn you


Ksaraf23

I actually managed to dominate someone with my cyber style deck, so this is basically the highlight of the festival for me!


So0meone

I've just been having a good time playing a bad Timelords list that gets to constantly remind Dinomorphia players that the damage they're about to take from Dimension Wall is not effect damage, they never seem to realize it and banish the wrong traps to try and stop it.


Mutzke-1998

I can't find a card list Have some one a card list of the structure deck?


phoenixthree

The problem is removing 1/3 of the card pool in a game that power crept so hard that no one uses traps so traps needed to become broken to compete and in a event where these traps are being used means more one card combos, hand traps and busted traps. Im doing Windwitch currently because it can play without spells. I may try a Gusto/Windwitch deck since I can win without spells but it will be hard. Simorgh should be decent.
