Raidraptor (and Friends)

Lads and ladies, the most baffling deck in the game.

This deck primarily abuses Raidraptor and Dark Xyz Summons to make Towers, Beatsticks, Omni-Negates, you name it.

Most turns should go like so: Shenanigans -> Force Strix -> Wise Strix + Raider's Wing -> Raider's Knight -> Arc Revellion with Raider's Wing attached. What you do from there is up to you, depending on whatever resources you have left, and you can usually get at least 2 ED summons on the board in one go, including:

- Borreload Savage (typically after Linking up to Rusty Bardiche so Wise Strix is in the GY). Make sure you keep one of your Rokket tuners available.

- Rusty Bardiche, good for getting more Rank-Up-Magic's at your disposal. Alternatively, bust Bardiche before End Phase to attach to Borreload.

-Tri-Brigade Shuraig, very good disruption. The trap still functions after Rank-Up-Magic Force, but if you're lucky you can link straight to him with Wise Strix.

-Cyber Dragon Infinity. This one requires that Wise Strix's effect searches Soul Shave and not RUM Force, AND that neither Strangle Lanius nor Rokket Tracer's effect activated. Also you lose half your LP, but hey, another Omni-Negate!

-Time Thief Redoer. I typically like to Xyz summon using Bardiche so Redoer has both the 'Send to Deck' and 'Banish Himself' effect.

-Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon. Gotta love a good Towers monster. Burn damage, ATK reduction, effect activation denial, this baby is the goat. My Royal Finish copy in MD is my pride and joy.

-And lastly, Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon. Because of the field spam and/or ED summons, you can often get this guy to over 10,000 ATK, ON TOP of his target and destruction immunity (which include Raider's Knights effect).

While you would think the sheer quantity of archetypes would be this deck's detriment, the deck's variety both makes it more adapatable and more interesting to fight with (and possibly also against).

My only real gripe is the occassional brick (typically by having too many Rokkets in the hand, or being stuck with Tribute Lanius with no recovery), so feel free to tweak it. Also, once again, I refuse to use Ash Blossom and Maxx "C" out of principle, we play Yu-Gi-Oh to have fun.

See y'all when the new RR support gets into Master Duel.
