What do we want our deckmaster to do? Beargram, Shelled Emperor of the Forest Crown 

- Boardwipe
- Prevent monster effects in response to our Spells/Traps
- Self-reviving Beatstick

While Beargram, Shelled Emperor of the Forest Crown can be summoned from GY, we choose to have him as the Deckmaster for the convience of not having to search him out. This is a powerful boss - 3400 ATK alongside a powerful boardwipe makes him immediatly extrodinarly fearsome. Beargram, Shelled Emperor of the Forest Crown provides enormous support for our Traps, allowing them to be activated without fear of negation from our opponent's monsters. 

Boardwipe

- Clear Threats!
- Our Traptrix link monsters are unaffected by our own Trap Boardwipes! 

We aim to boardwipe, but not lose our own monsters! A way to do this is by having only Traptrix on board, which are unaffected by trap boardwipes, or having only Insect/Plants and using the boardwipe our Deckmaster has (Beargram, Shelled Emperor of the Forest Crown). This transforms what should have been a symetrical effect into one that activly benefits us!

Trap Disruption

- Clear Threats!
- Constant stream of threats due to Traptrix Cularia and Traptrix Sera 

Our main access of traps is through Traptrix Sera, easily setting Trap Hole traps when we activate Traptrix monster effects. This constant stream of traps will ensure we can control the board to become non-threatening.
Trap Hole traps for Traptrix Sera , Traptrix Rafflesiaa and Traptrix Genlisea:

• Bottomless Trap Hole 
• Floodgate Trap Hole (great for restricting other deckmasters)
• Traptrix Holeutea (combo piece)
• Void Trap Hole 
• Break Off Trap Hole 
• Traptrix Trap Hole Nightmare 
• Terrifying Trap Hole Nightmare 
• Trap Hole 
• Gravedigger's Trap Hole 

Outside of Trap Holes, we utilize recursive traps like Titanocider , Ragnaraika Wisteria of Woe , and Lost Wind. Other traps may be accessed using Trap Tracks or Sales Pitch  

Sample Lower-Ceiling Endboards: (Traptrix only)

Revival

- Use Vernusylph to Return our monsters to the battlefield!
- Low cost to revive Ragnaraika!  
- Grind them down!

While we only have single copies of every card, our revivals allow us to use them again and again. We make use of this concept in our choice of side engines Ragnaraika which has a built in revival, and our deckmaster Beargram, Shelled Emperor of the Forest Crown which also has a built in revival. Naturia Camellia also provides an easy way to revive Naturia monsters
In particular, with Vernusylph, Traptrip Garden and Traptrix Holeutea we wish to revive Traptrix Sera since she provides so much value with both her effects every turn we trigger them. 
Eventually, our opponents will run out of resources
Good Revival targets: 

• Traptrix Sera 
• Ragnaraika Stag Sovereign 
• Traptrix Myrmeleo 
• Sacred Tree Beast, Hyperyton 
• Beargram, Shelled Emperor of the Forest Crown 
• Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders 
• Naturia Camellia 

Revial methods: 

• Vernusylph / Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders 
• Traptrip Garden (for Traptrix monsters)
• Traptrix Holeutea (for Traptrix monsters)
• Naturia Camellia (for Naturia monsters)
•  Ragnaraika / Beargram (self)

Other Considerations:

Spells: Trap Gatherer , Multi-Universe 

Traps: Chain Hole , Paleozoic Marrella 

Monsters: Alpha, the Master of Beasts , Beetrooper Assault Roller , Aztekipede, the Worm Warrior , Rikka Princess , Baromet the Sacred Sheep Shrub 

To Recap: 

Important Cards: Traptrix Sera , Ragnaraika Stag Sovereign , Titanocider 

Best upgrades: Benghalancer the Resurgent , Snowdrop the Rikka Fairy 

Strategy Elevator Pitch: Trap them and Stop them, then Reset for your next prey!
