Monarch and Amorphage are the deadliest in this virtue. As the Deck relies heavily on Xyz Summoning, any cards that prevent Special Summoning, or cards that prevent them from accessing their Extra Deck will shut it down. With access to cards like " Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon" and " Raidraptor - Final Fortress Falcon" at the top, this strategy allows them to achieve decisive victory. Ultimately, all of these options allows them to greatly increase their offensive power in a Duel, by accessing higher Rank Xyz Monster with more powerful effects. They also can recover those "Rank-Up-Magic" cards for another use, with cards like " Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force" (in-Graveyard effect) or " Raidraptor - Necro Vulture". As the "Rank-Up-Magic" card's usefulness depends on whatever Xyz Monster the player has on the field at the time (and the fact that those cards aren't easily searchable), " Raidraptor - Last Strix" can be utilized to provide Xyz Monsters straight from the Extra Deck, as Materials for Rank-Up if necessary. Some of the "Rank-Up-Magic" cards designed exclusively for this archetype also have effects that allows them to Special Summon monsters from the Graveyard before Rank-Up (such as " Rank-Up-Magic Soul Shave Force"), and some of them even have secondary in-Graveyard effects that helps in recovery aspect, in some way or another (such as " Rank-Up-Magic Skip Force"). This archetype also heavily supports Rank-Up strategy, due to high number of " Rank-Up-Magic" Spells associated with the archetype. The majority of them also able of inflicting massive amounts of damage whether through their effects alone, directly or indirectly, or through attacking multiple times. However, some of them (for example, "Fuzzy Lanius" or their " Raidraptor - Call") restricts the player from Special Summoning other than "Raidraptor" monsters if their effect is used, so careful consideration and planning ahead is necessary to utilize those cards to their maximum potential.īesides "Force Strix", they also have many other Xyz Monsters within their arsenal, and some of them specifically designed to eliminate multiple threats at once, particularly Special Summoned monsters. The majority of their Main Deck monsters usually have effects that can be activated during the Main Phase of the turn they're Normal or Special Summoned, and most of them are beneficial effects that helps them Summoning more monsters to the field. When used in conjunction with either " Raidraptor - Fuzzy Lanius" or " Raidraptor - Mimicry Lanius", it essentially allows Xyz Summoning with just one card. In order to Summon this card consistently and efficiently, cards like " Raidraptor - Tribute Lanius" are generally recommended. It allows the player to build up early card advantage by constantly searching the majority of their monsters, while also serves as the Deck's first line of defense. Their main Xyz Monster, designed for this sole purpose, is " Raidraptor - Force Strix", and is the most important Xyz Monster in the deck. Most of their monsters have effects that allows them to be Summoned rapidly to the field, but the easiest method for them to do so usually involves cards from player's hand (such as " Raidraptor - Vanishing Lanius"), and therefore, they need to keep many resources in their hand to start their initial strategy. Much like other Xyz-based archetypes in the game, this deck focused on swarming the field with necessary monsters to perform Xyz Summon. In the dub, their attack names are all alliterative. The crest itself is also used to represent their various Rank-Up-Magic Spells. This naming pattern can be likened to codenames of different members belonging to the same military unit.Īll "Raidraptor" monsters display the Raidraptor crest somewhere on their bodies. The Level 3 and Rank 3 monsters are based on eagles, while the members based on vultures and strixes cover a wide range of Levels and Ranks. Additional monster support includes cards based on vultures, eagles, and strixes, a genus of earless owls. Most of the Level 4 monsters are based on the lanius, a genus of passerine birds in the shrike family, while most of the Extra Deck monsters are based on falcons. Raidraptor monsters resemble various genus and species of birds of prey, albeit with a mechanized appearance and equipped with weaponry.
