Just thought id ask here because ive searched on the internet and couldnt find much.

I would say im decent at most lines vienna but when it comes to the opening moves from white only. 1. e4 2. nc3 3. bc4 i cannot seem to find any decent lines. Specifically traps and sacrifices.

Could a vienna veteran help me out?

Well, it really does depend what Black plays too.

if a)

1e4 e5 2 Nc3 Nf3 then IMO f4 is better than Bc4.Bc4 here allows Black to go into the Frankenstein-Dracula with Nxe4, you hace to be prepared to face that.

Remember, the idea of Nc3 (The strength of this move is that it threatens nothing - Tartakower) is to get in f4 before Nf3.

If b)

1 e4 e5 Nc3 Nc6 Bc4 is OK (although again f4 is possible) If Black now responds with Bc5 you can get some really fun variations:
