Capt. Falcon's Bag of Trix (Top 8 Maryland Regional)

[batsmak]

A little work mixing an old favorite of mine (Falcon Control) with a shiny new stun engine (Traptrix) led to this beautiful anti-meta brew that took me to my first successful regional Top 8! With a large number of searchable Trap Hole cards to keep nearly any deck at bay, backed by the frustratingly powerful Mist Valley Falcon engine, this deck managed to go 8-1 in a field of over 450 players at the Frederick, Maryland Regional on October 27th, leading to a 5th place finish.

What all Did you Face?

What were some of the drawbacks of the deck?

You should post a proper tournament report (if possible) so we can all read about the decks exploits in this regional.


if you had the space I'd LOVE to see ninja's in here, but that's likely too much room, not enough reward.

How useful was the seal of orichalcos?

This actually looks pretty cool. I for one would like to see a report on this.

Honestly surprised you don't main Traptrix Trap Hole Nightmare. Card is really good. Apart from that, build looks solid.

The biggest drawback of the deck, to be honest, is killing large passive monsters. There were several games where the only reason my dragon opponent had a chance was because they managed to wall behind a debris dragon or flamvell guard for a couple turns, and if a Dracossack manages to actually stick, killing it can be quite a hassle. I'm planning on adding in a few generic spot removal cards, or possibly DD Warrior Lady to help with this.

As for a Tournament report, I figure I can get one of those written up this weekend for you guys.
