Traps are the worst deck to play against in the game.

And they should get completely removed, all trap related cards. Try to change my mind with good arguments.

It's extremely binary. Do they have simlas and saskia in hand R1 ? Okay just forfeit then. Like what is that ? How is that fun ?

Proposition 1: "Oh then just nerf them". No, they are not strong you can't nerf a weak archetype. They are just extremely binary. If they got good hand R1 you lost the game, if they got bad you won, its COMPLETE RNG. With ZERO skill or thinking involved. So nerfing doesn't solve anything.

Proposition 2: "Oh then just rework them". How ? You can't. Do you make it so traps are actually playable strong cards, you take their power from 1 finisher (eldain) and split it evenly among traps ? NO. There's a reason why traps are weak. Because opponent can't see them. People would lose their minds if traps played for higher value, it would be basically any other deck but opponent can't see anything. Would be broken without binary.

So you can't rework them, you can't nerf them. You can fix other meta decks like SY or NR, but not traps. So just remove them, thank you. It's not needed, no one wants that in the videogame.
