Traptrick (SOFU)

SOFU-JP076 トラップトリック Traptrick
Normal Trap Card
You can only activate 1 card with this card’s name per turn.
(1) Banish 1 Normal Trap Card other than “Traptrick” from your Deck, and if you do, Set 1 card with the same name as that card from your Deck to your side of the field. That Set card can be activated this turn. Also, after you activate this card, you can only activate 1 Trap Card during the rest of this turn.

 

Just the one. Well, this card is pretty neat, of course it's a great card for Traptrix, despite not really being one, but I guess that's the point, and also works well for Virus Decks, Paleozoic, potentially Phantom Knight could use it too. You do only get to activate one other Trap that turn, which is a bummer, but you do get to activate the card you Set, so I guess that solves itself?

Oh wow Normal Trap support, huh? Interesting. I guess a card like this would be needed if Konami wanted to move forward with making decks that utilize Traps as primary playmakers.

 

On the casual side of things, I guess this helped Critias decks immensely.

 

Being able to pull out whatever Virus you need in Lair decks is pretty cool, but that means that if you want to run them, you’d have to run the (now reliably searchable) 1-ofs at 2. Which could potentially hurt the deck.

 

Something something Chain Burn.

 

I’m sure Phantom Knights could find a use for this as well. I’ll need to look at their support cards again.

 

...but for me personally, I just like that the Rise to Full Height/Psyframe Omega attack lock is now consistent enough to not be merely a joke play.

 

By the by, are those new Traptrix?

'Fraid not, it's just Mantis and Dionaea. I checked to see if they were myself to be fair.

It should have had a condition to activate it from the hand :v
