Traptrix Support

Atrax Xyz:

Flavor is missing with the stat value: Traptrix have a total of ATK + DEF = 2800; this applies to their Xyz Rafflesia as well. So, for this card to have the highest ATK possible, its stats should be 2800/0. And even then, 2800 is too high for a 2-material Rank4, despite requiring archetype materials. You should tone it down IMO; considering the stun effects it has, I would give it 2100~2300 ATK or so.

You clearly went for the overkill with banishing the Summoned monster; make the effect destroy and it will be fair.

I can get behind an archetype-specific Summon-negator Rank4, but at least make the effect once per turn, Otherwise, it can negate up to 3 Summons if you overlay it over Rafflesia before spending any of its materials. Actually, IMO it shouldn't be able to Xyz-evolve from Rafflesia in the first place, as it effectively allows it to skip the requirement of 2 Traptrix monsters by Summoning Rafflesia instead, which requires any 2 Level4s.

 

Dionaea Wall:

Can only be equipped to an specific monster so the Trap Hole setting effect should be bearable. What I don't like is its self-retrieval effect because with no "once per turn" clause, it can act as refundable fodder for card costs, pus it can find its way into a loop and be abused.

 

Traptrix Revival:

Looks good IMO. It ought to allow Traptrix to deliver bigger punches, considering it will activate the on-Special Summon effects of Myrmeleo and Dionaea.

 

Sanctuary:

I don't like this one. The Atrax Xyz already negates Summons; this would just add salt to the injuries that Atrax makes, and is such an overkill card. You even went overboard by banishing the monster and allowing the effect to be used up to twice per turn. Try something different that stays in flavor with Traptrix and the effects they originally have.

Yeah, the Xyz is way too powerful stat-wise, even with the Archetypal requirements. Hell, look at stuff like Number 32 / Gagagigo the Risen, both are 3-mat and have lower ATK and/or Vanilla (yes, they're generic). That, and it shouldn't even be able to Xyz Change from Rafflesia, considering how THAT one is spammable in any R4 deck. 

 

On another issue, Dionaea's pic is somewhat questionable [well, at least on the border between OCG standards and something the general site rules are trying to fix]. For now, it's fine, but be mindful of certain pics.
