Deck Description

Challenge by Julian123.

Use 4 Trapmaker's Snares and a bunch of Traps to make your opponent be wary of what he casts.

How to Play

Key is Isochron Scepter on a Trapmaker's Snare.
What you get is: Pay 2 mana and search for a Trap.
This is great because of the 1 and 0 mana alternative casting costs of all of the Traps.
If your opponent is playing his graveyard, use Scepter/Snare to fetch a free Ravenous Trap.
If your opponent just searched his library make him pay by fetching your Archive Trap.
If your opponent just brought into the game an Artifact, fetch your Baloth Cage Trap to get yourself a 2 mana 4/4 creature.
If your opponent destroyed one of your noncreature permanents, fetch your Cobra Trap for 4 1/1 creatures for 1 measly mana.
If your opponent just gained life, fetch your Needlebite Trap, and for 1 mana make him lose 5 life and you gain 5 life.
Etc etc etc.
Use the trap you need, in an instant, to reverse whatever your opponent does.

Merchant Scroll, Peer through Depth, and Augur of Bolas makes sure you find the Trapmaker's Snare you need.

Sylvan Caryatid and Birds of Paradise, along with your nonbasic lands make sure you can pay the alternative casting costs to the Traps.

Aetherling as a back up damage card and as a Win Con.

Ha! It's awesome, I want to build a deck like this sometime, it wouldn't be to expensive. I would switch out archive trap with arrow volley trap, you could 3 or 4 for 1 your opponent depending on what they are playing. Pitfall trap seems like it would be better than lethargy trap. And for the final one I would switch the ravenous trap to the side board and put a refraction trap. Thans for making this deck, and I think I'll build it. :)

Feel free to play around with it. Neat idea. Especially if they come out with new traps.
