Card Tips:Trap Eater
- It is usually a good idea to put this card in the Side Deck instead of in the main deck. If you are against the wrong deck, this card is pretty much worthless. If you know you are using a Deck which can be shut down by specific Countinuous Traps, you might want to side this card in during the second duel even if your opponent does not have any in their deck, as they might side in said counter cards.
- This is great against Anti-Meta decks, considering the number of Continuous Traps they run, such as "Royal Oppression", "Mask of Restrict", "Skill Drain" and "Imperial Iron Wall".
- Use this card in a "Skill Drain" Deck. You can get rid of your opponent's "Royal Decree" and use this card to Synchro Summon "Stardust Dragon". Since Stardust Dragon is in the graveyard when its effect resolves, its effect will not be negated so you can prevent your Skill Drain from being destroyed by your opponent.
- This card can be used against "Trap Monsters".
- You can put a face-up trap card onto your opponent's field by activating "Embodiment of Apophis" or "Zoma the Spirit" and then use "Creature Swap".
- Use in a Dark based deck to remove cards like "Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror".
- You can get rid of your opponent's annoying "Gravity Bind" with this card.
- This card can sometimes slow or empower an opponent's "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames" deck.
- This card works amazing in a Gladiator Beast deck, since "Royal Oppression" shuts down Gladiator Beasts tagging in ability.
- This card works extremely well with "Dark Necrofear" because:
- 1) It gets rid of one of your opponent's "continious trap" card giving you a free summon. This summon can then attack your opponent's LP or defend your LP until it gets destroyed and sent to the graveyard, where it can be used to summon "Dark Necrofear".
- 2) If your opponent does not provide a "continous trap" card for you to summon "Trap Eater", you can still use it as a "discard" cost and then summon "Dark Necrofear" with it.
