Traptrix is a control heavy deck with a lot of technical play. This deck is meant to help clear solo mode and getting into ranked.
Almost every card is of Rare or Normal rarity with the exception of core traptrix cards and a few staples. Completing tutorial and other solo modes offer free URs.
Every card is meant to be very intuitive to play for an otherwise difficult deck to master. The side deck contains UR options that you can add to your liking.
