Blake Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Raid Raptors – Booster Strix / Raidraptor – Booster StrixLevel 4DARK Winged Beast-Type(1) When a “Raidraptor” monster you control is targeted for an attack: You can banish this card from yoru hand; destroy that attacking monster.100/1700 I was gonna say it's bad... but it's extremely searchable. Prob worth a test, and adds a factor to gameplay that you have to consider against RR. EDIT: oh wait, didn't realize it destroyed all the more to my point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Wow did they simplify the effect from the anime version. Also it can work on non-Xyz now if that matters. It's worth testing at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuh Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 It pretty much acts as a pseudo-Honest which is pretty neat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENMaker Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Finally a decent effect for RR main deck monsters. Hope the others don't disappoint U funking wot m8. Vanishing, Tribute, Mimicry, Sharp, Fuzzy, Singing? All them with their double effects and rank 4-6 making abilities don't qualify as decent but banish from the hand situational Sakaretsu Armour does? Just what.

Premier Alexander Romanov Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Well, this is rather useless. Fortunately, not as useless as Wild Vulture and Skull Eagle, as this is a LV4, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Faytl~ Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Non-targeting removal that's also a hand trap is pretty cool.Not gret, but I could see this being run at 1, maybe? I'd have to test it to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progenitor Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 why is he so fat. i'm not even funking joking the thing's head / face alone is like the size of it's entire freaking torso. But yeah the fact that you can just grab this from your last search of the turn that you probably don't really need for some extra protection pretty much solidifies this thing's role as a 1-of emergency tech that can save something you need in the next turn, which is fine. Not spectacular, but it's one of those cards that fills a small void that RR can have a bit of trouble with, and doesn't run a whole lot of risk or chance for protecting that little niche use at least once.

Blake Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 after only a little testing... yeah, it's kinda bad. It's too passive. Needed to be:When an attack is declared involving a "Raidraptor" monster you control and an opponent's monster: You can banish this card (from your hand); negate that attack, and if you do, destroy that opponent's monster. would've been a better defensive card (See: Majespecter, etc.) and would have been more of a Kalut. That said, it is a valuable card all the same. It makes you have to think twice before attacking a Ruri. "What if they have Booster?" causes you to have to remove ruris instead of punching them, or risk this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerer Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Nah, I can't help it. I'm totally gonna refer to this card as "Phat Boi" whenever I see it. OT: Tbh, I don't have too much of an opinion on it. Just curious, why do you think it banishes itself? I mean, all (I think?) hand traps usually discard, right?

Context should have given this away. Yes, banishing would be better still, but the point remains, especially as this is an anime card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
