How do I beat Traptrix?

[Master_Xanthan]

I'm really struggling trying to beat Traptrix decks. It feels like they have a trap card for every occasion and I just get shut out of the game until I lose. What kinds of cards/types of decks can I use to help me?

Step 1: Go first
Step 2: normal summon Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo
Step 3: equip it with moon mirror shield and/or power of the guardian
Step 4: watch opponent scoop when they realize they can't special summon anything or run over the monster.

Sounds like you've never faced a Traptrix player, who actually know, how to properly play that archetype. Facing that only delays a proper Traptrix engine, but it won't prevent it, if that's all you've got.

Oh no, you mean you can out it?

That's a lot better than a lot of meta decks can say. Curious what the out would be in the standard traptrix deck though.

imperial order, heavy storm duster, feather duster, mirror force, torrential tribute, ice dragon's prison, infinite impermanence and Kaijus.

Just choose, what you want to be defeated with^^ It wouldn't be called Traptrix, if i wouldn't be able to react to a wide variety of situations, especially against situations, that are obviously only based around a weak combo.

None of the lists I looked at ran kaiju (and it doesnt work anyway since you can't special summon), IO is a one of (for now... likely banned soon here as well) Ice dragon prison doesn't work on the first turn at least, mirror force doesn't out power of the guardian.

Infinite imperm works. feather duster works. And IO if you drew it.

Edit: also assuming I didn't have backrow of my own. I just went to look at my old barrier stun deck, jeeze everything is SR. It does have counters to all those though.

Dark bribe, Dimension fissure, macro cosmos, forbidden lance, solemns, etc

Hah it even had mask of restrict in it, forgot how based my old deck was. I think that was when Lava golem was more prevalent.

Just play Traptrix, that'll show 'em.

Lightning Storm and/or Twin Twister clears the backrow and typically, the holes lack means to stop that from happening. Additionally, only the rare Trap Hole of Spikes can deal with monsters on your field that just attack. Heavy pressure is also important to prevent the Traptrix deck from establishing a wide board - Sera in particular is a key card to remove that generates advantage (Traptrix are lacking in protection, most boardwipes will clear them). Lastly, a lot of their gameplan is based around setting trap holes with effects, letting you see what you need to play around.

Run trap negate cards like Royal Decree, Trap Stun, Jinzo, Solemn Judgement. And for the boss monsters with full immunity use Kaijus that's how i got rid of those troublesome cards.

royal decree

[ChaosBahamut]

A little unorthodox, but maybe Ancient Gear Howitzer via Power Bond? Howitzer has complete immunity to card effects (Power Bond's attack boost sneaks in before that effect is applied though, so no worries) so unless your opponent has a Kaiju or Cyber Dragon mixed in the ONLY way they can defeat it is through battle, and I don't think there are many (if any) Traptrix monsters with at least 2000 ATK. (any other Fusion Summoning effect can work as well if you put Howitzer in Defense Mode, but nothing wrong with a fairly easy to summon 2000 point monster with effect immunity and a burn effect)

Chaos Ancient Gear Giant can work as well, to an extent. (in my experience I've noticed one Traptrix monster can essentially convert a trap's effect into her effect, bypassing Chaos Giant's immunity to Spell/Trap cards)

Just win the cf and go first, that's the biggest weakness, if they don't go first they suck
