Advance Upon the Path of Revolution! [Raidraptor]

[timelessgalaxy]

 

This deck is fun to play IMO and it'll be more viable after the new support releases. Mostly love it for the extreme pluses and the rank-up shenanigans which can at times push for comebacks or for game altogether.

 

Monsters:

 

Vanishing Lanius X3

Mimicry Lanius X3

Tribute Lanius X3

Fuzzy Lanius X3

Sharp Lanius X2

Singing Lanius X2

Summoner Monk X1

Harpie Harpist X1

 

Spells:

 

Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force X3

Rank-Up-Magic Soul Shave Force X2

Raidraptor - Call X2

Raidraptor - Nest X3

Mystical Space Typhoon X2

Raigeki X1

Rank-Up-Magic Death Double Force X1

 

Traps:

 

Raidraptor - Readiness X3

Icarus Attack X2

Raptor's Gust X2

Solemn Warning X1

 

Extra Deck:

 

Raidraptor - Force Strix X3

Raidraptor - Rise Falcon X1

Abyss Dweller X1

Gagaga Cowboy X1

Ice Beast Zerofyne X1

Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon X1

Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer X1

Raidraptor - Blaze Falcon X1

Tiras, Keeper of Genesis X1

Cyber Dragon Infinity X1

Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon X1

Divine Dragon Knight Felgrand X1

Raidraptor - Satellite Cannon Falcon X1

 

I'll explain some of my new choices here:

 

• Tribute Lanius at 3 seemed kinda odd to me at first until I realized it combos well with Mimicry and Fuzzy to get a first turn Force Strix. Plus the ability to add a quick play RUM spell after destroying a monster is good too I guess.
• Signing Lanius seems kinda odd to me, but it can help go into more XYZ plays too. Still testing this out for the most part.
• Harpie Harpist just seems a little out of place here, but I'll still test out one for the time being. Its effect does come in handy sometimes though.
• Raidraptor - Call looks really good. I haven't tested it yet, but the ability to summon a Vanishing, followed by another Vanishing, then another Raidraptor is really strong.
• Soul Shave Force is amazing. The ability to rank up a Force Strix into Infinity or possibly Revolution Falcon into Satellite Cannon or Felgrand is really powerful. Oh, it's half of my life as cost? So what if I'm gonna mount a comeback or push for game?
• Raid Force IMO is better than Revolution Force and Raptor's Force simply because you can rank up ANY XYZ monster to a Raidraptor XYZ one rank higher. Makes Blaze and Revolution so much easier to summon.
• Death Double Force I'm still not sure of, but I'm still testing. I've only used it once to rank up into Satellite and... that's it so far, so I'm still reserving judgment. However, you can use this to go into a Felgrand which is really funny.
• Icarus Attack is usually live so it has to be run at two in this deck for me.
• Raptor's Gust is free S/T negation as long as you control a Raidraptor card. Nuff said.
• Tiras seemed like a good choice for another R5, but it was really hard to choose between Pleiades, 61, Zenmaioh, and this guy.
• Infinity useable off of Soul Shave Force? Too good not to include here.
• Felgrand is one of, if not the best R8 around effect wise. Had to include him.
• Satellite Cannon Falcon is really useful against trap heavy decks like Tellars and Ritual Beasts. Plus, free 3k to the face is always nice too.

 

Feel free to leave suggestions and stuff.

You absolutely need 3 Force Strix. I'd also run 3 Nest since it's so easily searchable and counts as a Raptor card for using Gust. I wouldn't bother with Monk at all honestly but suppose the amount of spells makes it justifiable. May as well add the 3rd Readiness or Gust in place of Mirror Force as well. Double usability of Readiness and Gust being spell speed 3 negation for free makes either a better option.

I might swap out 103 for the extra Force Strix then. Nest seems too cloggy at 3, but it's nice to start off with, so I'll test it out. Monk's really only there for when I have dead spells in hand, so I might swap him out for something else and I'll just swap the Mirror Force with the Readiness. Extra protection is always good.

 

List has been updated btw.
