Trap Monster Control?


Recommended Posts

[spoiler=YGOPro Decklist Image]ZOgySsW.png

 

[spoiler=Deck List Written]Main Deck

1x Uria, Lord of Searing Flames (I needed to fill the last space, and why not add a monster that gets rid of trap-effect-negated monsters?)

3x Mask of Darkness (Recycle any of my "actual" monsters)

3x Galaxy Cyclone (Deal with what could be harmful, then destroy a Royal Decree or whatever)

1x Raigeki (Why not?)

3x Magic Planter (Free up a space that is used by a permanent monster to abuse Spider even more)

3x Swords of Revealing Light (Stall while I get cards)

3x MST (Destroy whatever is/may be troublesome)

1x Bottomless (No Summon for you)

3x Tiki Curse (1800/1000 level 4 monster that destroys anything that battles another Trap Monster)

3x Earthen Spider Statue (Destroy any card, even your own if you feel like it, when you Summon a Trap Monster. 0/2500 level 7 is nice, too)

3x Metal Reflect Slime (0/3000 level 10. Mainly used for emergency defense/in conjunction with another for Gustav or Spider for destruction)

3x Tiki Soul (1000/1800 level 4 monster that resets any destroyed Trap Monster)

3x Zoma the Spirit (1800/500 level 4 that deals damage equal to the ATK of any monster that kills it. Anti-synergizes with Soul)

3x Cyber Shadow Gardna (0/0 level 4 that resets itself if it isn't destroyed and becomes the ATK and DEF of the monster attacking it. Combined with Spider, it's a free destruction per turn)

3x Abbysal Stungray (1900/0 level 5 that can't be destroyed by battle)

1x Solemn Warning (No Summon for you)

 

Extra Deck (I am bad at extra deck things. I usually make gimmicky decks that don't use the extra deck. Also, no rank 5 because the Extra Deck was made before I found Stungray and has yet to be adjusted for the availability of rank 5s)

2x Gustav Max (2000 damage and can still attack)

1x CDI (CDI's a fair card, right?)

1x Cyber Dargon Nova (For CDI)

1x Crazy Box (For saccing and skill drain)

1x Rebellion Xyz Dragon (Getting over strong ATK monsters that can't be Spidered)

1x Utopia (A rank 4 that I knew before I quit)

1x 101 (It's 101)

2x Castel (It's Castel)

1x Chidori (It's Chidori)

1x Exciton Knight (It's Exciton Knight)

2x Cowboy (I need just that little extra- dedd)

1x Ptolemaios (Use as a 3-mat, use effect, get CDI)

 

Side Deck

Nothing because I only play singles

 

[spoiler=Changes][spoiler=7/10/2015]-3x Nightmare's Steelcage
+3x Magic Planter
-1x 101
-1x Chidori
-1x Exciton Knight
+1x Ptolemaios
+1x Cyber Dragon Nova
+1x CDI

 

 

 

The Deck mainly revolves around Summoning Spider and using and abusing its effect to the point to where the opponent's just can't field while you beat them down with Curse/Soul/Stungray. It can stall for a while while you try to get Spider, and if you're forced to use a monster other than Spider before Spider comes, Xyz are a thing. Sort of. I'm bad at Extra Decking. You can also throw a Zoma that they left out headlong into a monster they control for damage. It's always fun to win that way.

 

Fun fact: If you chain all your Trap Monsters together and then finish the chain with Spider, Spider's effect works for all of the Summoned cards besides itself. This also works for if it's already out and you chain your monsters to an effect or each other. You can use this to make some cards miss timing. (I hate U.A.s)

Where are the Quantum Cats and Swamp Mirrorers?

I don't really need defense-only cards like Cat thanks to Spider that has an actual effect, Slime that has better defense, and Stungray that can't be destroyed by battle. I don't need Swamp Mirrorer because the other attacking cards I have already have effects, and I'd rather have the cards I already have that aren't monsters. I might consider 1 or both if they open up some Xyz monsters that would be really nice to have.

 

Ha! I had a deck like this and had 3 Spiders out. Pop 3 cards on trap-monster Summon. 'twas great.

Anyway, I'd try to throw in a Zepheros the Elite and/or a Genex Ally Birdman for self-bouncing and R4/Synchro shenanigans.

I'll consider those. It would be nice to get a bouncing effect for cards that got trap negated/to get another round of Spider effects.

Drop Swords for Imperial Custom. Both accomplish the same objective, but Custom lasts longer and provides better protection.Trap Monsters have little fear of the Battle Phase, either because of Stungray, Reflect Slime, Soul, or Custom, so cards like swords have little use. Trap monsters's power comes from an Xyz toolbox, relative indestructibility, and spider has given a wincon all on its own.Cat and Mirrorer both open up the ability to leverage that Xyz toolbox to either get useful cards more often (Tsukuyomi, Key Beetle, M7) or crazier summons (Kamikaze/Acid, Zerofyne, Bahamut Shark). I'm personally not a fan of CSG, even with Spider out, and the loss of flexibility granted by Mirrorer/Cat is enough that I'd say run 1-2 of them

 

tl;dr

-Swords

+Custom

 

-1/2 CSG

+1/2 Quantum Cat/Swamp Mirrorer

 

-Utopia

+ Master Key Beetle

 

-1 cowboy

+ Constellar Omega (if R4 focused)/Pleiades (If you think you'll have two stungray/Ptolemaios but not Nova/infinity)

Are you kidding me? You don't use Cat / Mirrorer for attacking / defending, as Cat / Mirrorer are the best Level 4's in the damn deck, given that they allow you to tutor out any Rank 4 Xyz, starting from Xyz Monsters with generic materials and ending with Xyz Monsters with specific materials (e.g. Evolzar Laggia / Bujintei Tsukuyomi etc.)

 

Also, why do you even bother playing Stungray if you're not going to play something like Pleiades / any other Rank 5 Xyz? It's all Stungray is good for, tbqh.

 

Speaking from experience, as I've played the deck for at least over a year now.
