Oh does Ragnaraika Skeletal Soldier's "also you cannot Special Summon during the turn you activate either of this card's effects, except Insect, Plant, or Reptile monsters." apply to summons that happened before it hit the field? I'm getting back into yugioh after many years of not playing so I'm still finding out funny rules to how card effects are written now and then lol I noticed the difference after you pointed it out when I looked at the other Ragnaraika monsters' effects which say "the rest of this turn" Other videos I watched noted this condition for the Link 2 and I was wondering why until I finally looked closer at the effect just now
hiya, welcome back to the game!! yep, you are correct about skeletal soldiers’ restriction, which is different than all the other raika monsters’. they are “for the rest of the turn” locks, while skeletal soldier is what i call a “full turn” lock. meaning you can’t use either of its effects if you’ve summoned a non-tri-type earlier in the turn, like parallel exceed. sadge.
i think from the point of having raf + seed + beetle + jasmine: you’d just link beetle + jasmine for mantis monk, use beetle to reborn a trix mantis monk search trap link trix for sera and then just have seed leftover as another body
Omg when i saw this i just looked to my right at the half built deck i have of my 2x traptrix sd and 4 lede packs ragnaraika deck glad to know im not the only one who saw this could be a fun deck love the deck better then what i was building towards
@@DewyTheDuelist ya I guess, the deck seems interesting but not that good, def more comfortable with rikka sunavalon raika. Really like these cards but should be used to extend not as a full strategy imo
Instead of Parallel Exceed, you might be able to run Rikka Princess as an extender. It isn’t a Raf on its own, but the normal Traptrix combo leads into Sera and 3 bodies. Since you only need Sera and 2 bodies to go into the Ragna lines, summoning Princess early gets you an additional body for Raf without getting locked out of Ragna plays. Alternative to going into Raf, Rikka Queen Strenna on field with Princess in grave also insulates from Nib and monster hand traps, also floating into a Teardrop or Sacred Tree Beast.
i’ve been thinking a lot about rikka princess! i need to test her-bc any 4 + princess = ping, which can search arachno, and then you can link ping for sera, activate arachno, set holeutea, pitch a trap, off to the races
@@DewyTheDuelist Yep. When I played combo oriented Traptrix pre Ragna using Mardel and Princess to get to Appaloosa, I used to only run 1 Princess with 3 Parallel Exceed and ended up changing to 2 Princess with 2 Parallel Exceed. I only really intended Princess to be an add off Mardel, but quickly realized she was way more versatile than Exceed was. Ironically drawing Princess and Exceed is full combo with no Traptrix names bc Princess special, link into Dryas, Exceed effect, into the combo you just mentioned.
I really appreciate the Nib Proof combo tutorial because Nib is my only fear with this deck 😂 Im testing Rikka Princess in place of Exceed atm, but this is a good enough argument to put it back in. Lol.
You can end on Raika link 5, benghalancer, teardrop, and then holeatea for sera super consistently, and occasionally end on all that plus rafflesia if you add a small Rikka engine of Strenna, teardrop and 1-2 princess
Can you push more video about how to run the deck? I build a very similar deck but miss one pot and torrential tributes. If no evenly matched, going second absolutely lose.
Malevolent is such a good way to use the traptrix suck effects! I also love that you're not running ash cos this format it doesnt help too much unless you're playing against a deck that specifically loses to ash and lets face it snake eyes dont lose to ash xD
yeah i think 1:1 handtraps simply don’t cut it anymore, esp when they don’t synergize with our broader game plan of triggering sera as much as possible or having backrow protected by campa
hey, first of all I wanted to say thank you for the video and also for the good explanations. but could you please explain one thing to me, why can't I use the effect of skeleton warrior when I used exceed in parallel before 🤔 I don't understand that 🤷♂️
hi! you cannot use either of skeletal soldier’s effects the turn you special summon ANYTHING that is not insect, plant, or reptile. that includes before you summon it, like an early parallel exceed. skeletal soldier is DIFFERENT than the other raika links, which only lock you into the tri-types AFTER you use their effects. does that make sense?
good to know I need only 4 main Raika cards and some extra deck once. Do wanna update my deck and droping my DRNM for Droplets is MAYBE better. I got to do a few twicks here and there. Thank u not so masculine voice human. c:
Hola, no puedes hacer efecto del link 2 de Ragnaraika, porque para usarlo no tienes que haber invocado de manera especial monstrous ese turno excepto reptil, planta e insecto. Al invocar “Parallel” no podrías usar el segundo efecto del link 2, te quedarías sin “Sera” en el campo. Todo lo demás está bien.
sí sí, lo que explico es que tendríamos que hacer el combo un poco diferente si empezamos con Parallel-> en ese caso, probablemente iríamos directamente a Mantis Monk, y usar holeutea para revivir Sera desde GY en el próximo turno
no he decidido si es mejor tener stag sovereign y tener que revivir sera con holeutea, o tener solo mantis monk y sera (pero holeutea para interrumpir el próximo turno)
@@DewyTheDuelist creo que lo mejor es tener a “Sera” con Holtea en el siguiente turno y tener al “Stag sovereign” en campo para interrumpir. Pienso que tener a Rafflesia contra Nibiru es clave porque es lo único que jode la estrategia, incluso puedes dejar algo bueno jugando alrededor de “Droll”.
Hi cool profile do you feel raikas are mandatory and much better than pure version? Still see this as the optimal build? Also what droplet and prosperity can be replaced with , DRNM , ash, tune, other gravedigger?
You should play bengalhancer you can end on the exact board you showed plus him, the only difference is I believe you have to use the holetea in grave to get sera out on their turn. Also if you have an additional extender you can end of a monster negate and follow up in hand if you play strena and the sacred tree beast. Also sometimes that monster negate can also be either a trap or spell negate depending on your turn to play around board breakers like evenly or any spell board breaker.
I'm confused in regards to using pudica's search effect as bait. If you already have garden in hand, use pudica's search effect, but your opponent allows it. What happens then? Are you allowed to do it assuming you only run one garden. Sorry if my question is confusing.
good question! you cannot activate an effect to search your deck for a card (like pudica) if you know that you have no legal target. that would be cheating!
traptantalizing tune i personally don't like b/c it's a huge ash magnet. but if you build your deck around traps that don't mind being in the gy (like black goat laughs, transaction rollback, etc), then you can still get some value off of it. if traptantalizing let us shuffle back a banished card AND DRAW, then i would think about it. tactics can be good, and thrust if you have any. anything you set off thrust going first when your opponent doesn't control a monster, you can return to hand with mantis, and then just activate it lol
@@DewyTheDuelist yeah I've been playing the tune to get rid of evenly mid game, but I never thought of this interaction with ttth and mantis ! Will try it out thanks 👍
I'm returning to the game (in paper, I've played master duel on and off) after over a decade of being gone, I picked up 3x TD like a year ago, so this is what I'm going with after my return. Do you have a link to the traptrix discord?
honestly i think the best thing for the side going first are chainable normal traps like different dimension ground, dimensional barrier, threatening roar, etc (and trap trick to find them) and going second, board breakers or even cards like drill/shifter/nib to slow down your opponent’s setup
I'm surprised you're using such a small Raika engine. Usually I see people go full on with Bloom and Evil Seed. What made you choose to go with the smaller engine?
hiya! just by doing regular traptrix things, the magic of Jasmine lets you get all 4 raika cards ON TOP OF your traptrix board. and usually your opponent will use any interruption before you get there. if there’s a way to reverse engineer a traptrix board from just raika cards, i don’t know yet what it is! but i’d be very curious.
yeah i usually only go for the full raika line turn 1 if im confident my opponent doesn’t play nibiru, if i can make an early raf, or if i have access to garden and can banish the nib token to bring sera back
@@DewyTheDuelist so early raf basically means parallel exceed and just that right? I can't think of any other way you can summon both it and aromaseraphy jasmine with a tribute
@@alexemp6201 no, any plant traptrix + parallel is full jasmine combo, but you won't be nib proof. you'd normal the plan trix, make sera, exceed into exceed, overlay for allomerus, reborn the plant trix, and use sera + plant trix for jasmine, then tribute allomerus! without parallel, you'd need extenders like garden, arachno, vesi, etc.
because you normal summon her, say “effect to add field spell?”, they will panic, and ash blossom will fall out of their hand and into the gy 😂 this is her secret effect
jaja no, solo gané un evento “side” aparte del evento principal. fue mi primera vez con este decklist y cometí algunos errores en el main event, ganando 2 y perdiendo 3. (pero de los 3 que perdí, todos eran 1-2.)
@@DewyTheDuelist from what I gather, the explanation for it is that Brigandine doesn’t get checked by Veiler or Ash. But then I just think… wouldn’t that stuff… hit Sera anyway? Wouldn’t I rather eXceed take the hit than Sera? 💀
@@DewyTheDuelist dominus Purge is a normal card that can be activated from the hand. It's a Ash on s trap card, I THINK it has a better chance of use imo then ash.
I don‘t understand… u said the effect of the link2 doesn’t work if u used parallel exceed How do u end on this board then if u build raflesie with parallel exceed then? U showed us that it is nib proof but then the endboard wouldn‘t even be possible or? (Just confused )
hi! i explained this in some other comments! the short version is: you’d end on rafflesia, mantis monk, sera, + 2 traps (but not stag sov), which i still think is very powerful! imo i’m totally willing to give up stag sov to use parallel early to be nib proof. OR you can make stag sov still and just use holeutea to bring back sera on the opponent’s turn
Raika seems so iffy, i feel it makes the deck more susceptible to handtraps. I play pure traptrix, after testing many variants i havemt tried this yet but seen people mention it can make the deck more fragile. 😅❤🎉
they accomplish slightly different things--but i can never seem to get regulus on the field consistently when i try therion builds. an omni-negate to check evenly is sorely needed, but i'm not sure therion is the way to go. your thoughts?
@@DewyTheDuelist I see very well what you mean and it is true that it is sometimes difficult to have regulus or that it can be annoying to have it in hand I still really like the end board and I think it is entirely possible to do the same combo with jasmin to pose lily (like in rikka) but I think that the Raika engine takes up less space and synergizes more + recycles much better
@@DewyTheDuelist any plant traptrix + lily my favorite one is pudica norm, effect to search the field; make sera; spé lily, discard herself to search the field and you got regulus on board, traptrix field + 3 in your hand or if you do the same combo as you do with raika; jasmin to spe lily, lily discard herself to search field spell and you have regulus on board or 3 cards combo to get apollousa, hyperyton and regulus :)
ironically, yes, evenly is one of its biggest weaknesses; the only inherent way to play “around” evenly is to save holeutea in the GY and to not trigger sera prematurely. if they evenly you, you’ll banish everything except sera, and then bc evenly is a normal trap, trigger sera, summon dio/myrm, trigger sera again to set. luckily tenpai doesn’t play evenly. some ways that traptrix players have defended against evenly: ptolmaeus package (into artifact durendal); therion package (lily borea into regulus); lancea; judgment; set rotation. i also want to test ojama duo/trio for shiggles.
@@DewyTheDuelist lmaoooo NEVER!!!!😂 traptrix ragna does seem awesome, do you really just need 1 copy of the bloom and seed? I thought those might be 3 ofs but maybe that’s only the case in the pure version
@@GunnerDuels yeah you can def get away with this minimal package! on turn 3, you’ll use atypus to banish hunting dance from the GY, then use bloom to reborn seed from banishment, which will grab back both hunting dance and beetle from banishment, and you can then either banish beetle/dance or whatever you drew for turn. if you banish a tri-type, then just shuffle it back to summon beetle. rinse, repeat!

@@DewyTheDuelist love that! Appreciate the insight bro.
