OCG Rulings
- The "You can add to you hand, or Special Summon, 1 "Traptrix" monster from your Deck, except "Traptrix Nepenthes"." effect does not target.[1]
- The "You can add to you hand, or Special Summon, 1 "Traptrix" monster from your Deck, except "Traptrix Nepenthes"." effect cannot be activated during the Damage Step.[1]
- The effect of "Traptrix Nepenthes" is a Trigger Effect that will activate after resolving the Chain in which the "Hole" Normal Trap Card was activated. Therefore, if "Trap Hole" is activated, after resolving "Trap Hole", the effect of "Traptrix Nepenthes" can be activated in a new Chain as Chain Link 1. (The effect will not activate in a Chain to "Trap Hole".)[2]
Traptrix Monster Rulings
OCG Rulings
- If a face-down Defense Position "Traptrix Atrax" is flipped face-up by the effect of "Acid Trap Hole", the "This card is unaffected by the effects of "Hole" Normal Trap Cards." effect of "Traptrix Atrax" is not applied. Therefore, since "Traptrix Atrax" has 1000 DEF, the effect of "Acid Trap Hole" that destroys the monster if it has less than 2000 DEF is applied and "Traptrix Atrax" is destroyed.[3]
- The "This card is unaffected by the effects of "Hole" Normal Trap Cards." effect of "Traptrix Atrax" is only applied while it is face-up on the field. Therefore, if you Set "Traptrix Atrax" and the opponent activates "D.D. Trap Hole", the "This card is unaffected by the effects of "Hole" Normal Trap Cards." effect of "Traptrix Atrax" is not applied and is destroyed and banished.[4]
