kali yuga is still the best way to play the deck, you do 2 towers instead of 3 and you have a 3500atk that tecnically make the opponent skip the turn and has a heavy storm quick effect...

Also less consistent and more vulnerable to handtraps

@@BigLadle99 not now, it isn't; high probabilty to do Kali Yuga over 2HT's, and people are finding ways to get rid of the 2/3 unaffected falcons. Dharma Cannon is the card, when it get more poppular this build will need no evolve

@@J1GS4W0 can you kali yuga off 1 card without playing any random garbage bricks?

@@J1GS4W0 2 badly timed and unimpactful handtraps maybe. Kali yuga build has to run too many bricks

the combo wasn't actually that good, tribute is a 1 card for a lot better of an endboard playing just as safe as they were in this combo

Nope

You already win going first. If you focus on learning to play through and traps you win that game. Maining the designator is only good going first. I lost all my dice rolls except 1 so it wouldn’t have favored me

Cause we dumb lol

The level modulation does come up if you decide to make wise strix first. I see arguments for playing less of it. However it and bloom or with another extender is full combo

Level modulation is insane to go directly into arc rebellion but tbh might be okay to play as a 1 or 2 of cuz it's searchable

Honestly i see no valuable reason aswell, the combo you mentioned is the standard combo for me too; Also they say Nib is relevant when using Rebellion eff to summon their Noir but if they've gone standard route they would have Roost + Trap + Draw 1 from Roost eventually which is honestly still a good board after a nib (2 towers + omni-negate)

It could be interpreted in different ways, but the chokepoint is: is flamberge considered as a destroyed monster or a spell? Personally, I believe that it's considered a spell. The reason for that is another ruling in zombie world vs melffys. There is a card that is activated when summoned by the effect of a beast monster. However, if summoned by the effect of puppy, while zombie world is on the field, that on-summon effect will not trigger since puppy was a zombie monster at activation. I think similar logic can be applied here

It's officially ruled as calculating the damage based on the original ATK the monsters had on the field. As Continuous Spells do not have an original ATK and are not monsters, it is not considered in the calculation. This being ruled wrong has won Raidraptors a lot of games. It's clear because it says "original ATK of the destroyed monsters", the destroyed monsters in the Spell/Trap Zone were not Monsters (this is a well known rule already) they were Spell/Traps. This is just an extension of that ruling. "When you inflict damage to your opponent, the original ATK of any monsters on the field that were destroyed is added up. (Monsters that were destroyed in face-down Defense Position in the Monster Zone are also included.) Cards that were not monsters on the field (because they were Spells/Traps in a Spell & Trap Zone) aren't included in the total original ATK."

you hope to have extenders in hand usually

Play Sauravis, negates imperm and veiler, not once per turn, and negates princess going second.

You put raider wing under it and it can’t be target

I'm guessing it's so they can get resources to the hand for next turn

@@wert677 naw its legit the same but better. I just dont know if there is a line of text preventing that which i donr know of

🤣🤣🤣 criminal indeed. You either need noir in GY or mimickry to make them level 5. You use the wise strix to set the rank up spell and then use brave strix to set the main raidraptor rank up spell in the combo if you get drolled

Can't bloom when raiders knight is on the field as it's not a winged beast

You specifically need kaiju herald doesn’t work rather bc you can just send the link monster since it’s also a dark winged beast

@@gauravohol1749 Evenly can clear out all but 1 tower and Thrust into Daruma is another out to all towers. There are outs that also have coverage in other matchups, but definitely not the most popular kind.

@@Avermra you can use the rank up spell in GY to banish itself and bring back the towers, so those don’t really impact the deck. Evenly wastes their BP and so they need to out the towers through engine which most decks can’t. Thrust into cannon is very niche and no one is playing it since it’s so bad against fire decks. Lab can play it, but there’s a reason lab isn’t topping atm because it has a horrible snake eyes and fire king match up

I think pure is the way to go. I think it’s hard to win with the hybrid build due to the bricks. We initially tried it but it just doesn’t work but the ceiling of the deck is higher. But rn it just doesn’t really work coherently imo

Cards in the GY are still face up. It's just written on the card so you can't use XYZ that got shuffled back or banished face down as a chain to it. TCG just used confusing language on it and bloom, I can foresee the judge calls for unknowing opponents.

Yeah? I mean there’s no need for it when the towers does it anyways

what's the logic behind running it then? sure it's another way to get into rising rebellion falcon if they crow your brave strix or something but at that point isn't a second brave strix better?

@@Koutei summoning it off arsenal falcon is some situations where you get nibbed occurs bc you can use it and brave to do damage and make the towers. That’s the only application

Dumb question but why aren't you allowed to use satellite cannon backrow wipe if you summon it with the rum?

Nibiru will tribute the rest of the board, and we need the rest of monsters to summon the second tower with the rank up. I think it is this

Ultimate falcon has the effect: you can detach 1 material from this card; your opponent cannot activate cards or effects for the rest of this turn. If they don't chain nib, they can't activate it anymore

@@nerazim1110 lmao ultimate falcon doesn’t have that effect

@@raphaelwilkes97 you're not beating the non-reading allegations

@@nerazim1110 damn you are absolutely right I take a big L

They're really good against the deck tbh, because they can take your Brave Strix out your GY before the rank-up resolves leaving you without the big towers. I think if you're facing a lot of bystial/d.d. crow play in your local scene id probably run a few with those crossouts when siding for going first

As far as I’m aware there’s no in archetype way

Heel egal can banish itself to recover a rank up. Use roost to put it back into the deck after to recycle it

Good observation sir, It does make you way more vulnerable to nib. I think you just need to pick what you want to go for. It’s either you play around nib or imperm/veiler you can’t really do both atm, but we’re working on something that might work

I still think you go wise strix first if you can bc if you go raiders and detach you can use wise strix to set a rank up

@@gauravohol1749 but in neither scenario can you make it to the rank 5 here if raider gets imperm'd right? So setting the rank up isn't really that relevant unless I'm missing something

@@BigLadle99 so I’ve been testing with the other rank up that allows you to rank up 1 higher it’s the other raidrator rank up. They play it at 3 in the OCG. We’ve been testing that for this scenario. Look into it, I can’t remember I’ll follow up shortly

I’m assuming you mean the quick play spell set of wise strix. Wise strix allows you to use it similar to hydrant

Brave strix as material gives 100 atk for the rank of the monster

They have it as a built-in effect

We finished out the combo as if we weren't nibbed that's why the link monster was still on field

If they crow the brave strix during the Rank up you can still go into satellite cannon falcon.

It also is something you ss off the arensal falcon so you can use brave strix and it to make the rank 13

Satellite is also for backrow they can't respond to destruction

People didn’t understand the deck so they were hitting my normal summons, but I would play in a way that checked for handtraps so you’d make wise strix first then make force strix, then make raiders knight

If you didn't normal summon you can play past the nibiru if you go wise strix first which is very nice all you need is an extender and this is where you need 3 force strix too

It's considered a raidraptor card, I don't see why not
