Ryusei the Morning Star Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Raid Raptors - Wise Strix / Raidraptor - Wise StrixDark Winged Beast / Link / EffectLink-2 1400 / BL BR2 DARK Winged Beast monstersYou can only use this card name's (1) and (2) effects once per turn each.(1) If this card is Link Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 DARK Winged Beast monster from your Deck in Defense Position, but its effects are negated, also it cannot be used as a Link Material.(2) If a "Raidraptor" Xyz Monster effect you control is activated: Set 1 "Rank-Up-Magic" Spell from your Deck to your field. If it was a Quick-Play Spell, it can be activated during this turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Highlander Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Wel, I guess I cannot complain about no Raid-Raptor Link 2 anymroe, that was most of my critique since they introduced Links ... oh well, it also has a RUM - searcher effect and sets it to circumvent that toxic S0.Sounds pretty good to me, it allows further Fuzzy Lanius plays and effectively costs 1 material, given that it ahnds 1 back right afterwards.Great support, this should be exactly what they wanted and needed.Would you mind me asking for the source ?

BlackBeartic Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 The second effect is exactly what i suggested to balance the fact S0 exists. Lovely.The card is just great, basically everything I ever wanted in an RR card. Haha.Idk what made me happier, this card or the large amount of Salamangreat stuff we got that made the deck playable. Guess I can't complain anymore huh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I had not realized Raidraptors were this savvy with technology and intel.It may not be gamebreaking at the moment, but it looks solid to me. It can assist Blackwings too, and I guess Force Strix requiring generic Level4 materials encourages the use of RUMs as silly techs outside of Raidraptors.

vla1ne Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 The restriction on using the summoned monster as a link material is smart, the effect negation doesn't hurt fuzzy lanius or mimicry lanius's grave effects at all. so that restriction is pretty light overall. The second effect means revolution falcon is only ever two cards away, and it even makes double doom force into less of a brick. the ratios you need for rank ups (should you choose to play a rank up build) are minimal. Hopefully this and the two missing Xyz's (the 6 and 7) come over in the same set... Or at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 holy sheet it's really goodpretty much this It took them 4 years, but they finally figured out what the funk they were doing with ruriraptors. I appreciate that this is very clearly a counterpart to Force Strix in both art and effect, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
