Winged Dragon of Ra 100% (never bricks)
My favorite card of all time, the one that got me into yugioh, was the Winged Dragon of Ra. It got me to try master duel, and start my whole journey.
My second favorite archetype was Ogdoadic, because I raise and care for reptiles, and the just looked like the would go perfectly with Ra. I was able to make a deck with Bishbaalkin, the one from DarkArmedDuelists channel, that essentially let me add Slifer and Ra, and use them pretty consistantly without having to normal summon. But once Bishbaalkin was banned that deck was no longer usable on masterduel. I was no longer able to use both in a useable way. In comes Horus (which Horus himself looks like Ra). It lets us increase our starters and get maximum consistancy.
HOW THE DECK WORKS
Deck Breakdown:
12 starters:
Ogdoadic: 3x Nunu, 3x Nauya
Horus: 3x Imsety, 3x King's Sacophagus
9 Conditional starters/extenders:
Ogdoadic: 3x Ogdoadic daybreak, 1x Ogdoadic Serpent Strike, 1x Ogdoadic Water Lily, 1x Zohah
Reptile: 1x Black Mamba, 1x Night Sword Serpent, 1x I.A.S. Invasive Alien Species
9 Bricks (extenders when sent to graveyard, often with Horus engine):
2x Guardian Slime, The Ogdoadic Light & Dark, Both Ogdoadic Overlords, Blessing, Protection and Guidance of Horus
10 Ra Summons/Seachers:
2x Winged Dragon of Ra, 2x Sphere Mode, 3x Ancient Chant, 3x The True Sun God
Exta deck:
Necassary: Fera Imps is needed for the Nunu 1 card combo
Conditional:
-Galaxy-eyes cards optional, 2 card destroyed on the field, change of heart that can be used as material for rank up, protection for light monsters, or an omni-negate.
-Number 97 engine and Nummeron Dragon optional, just for OTK if you dont get Ra, a spell negate, or defense piercing dmg
-Alien Shocktrooper and Cosmic Slicer, optional, especially if you go first, and can get lots of tokens on the field, it basically negates all on field opponent monsters and changes them to defense position, if you add alien kid to the deck and swap it out with one of the non Ogdoadic Reptile cards.
-Lizadose Optional, banish reptile from gy draw one
-Echidina Optional, makes an opponents monster 0 atk, good for OTK
Goal of the Deck:
To get Ra on the field going 2nd with a 6 card hand basically every single hand in a digitially shuffled or a well in person shuffled deck. I have tested 20 hands and was always able to either get Ra on the field, or 3/20 instances go into Nummeron Dragon or Galaxy-Eyes Dragon. The following figures are based upon the Yugioh Probability Calculator.
Basically we have 12 starters that can each individually get 3 bodies on the field for Ra, as a 1 card combo(nunu is the only one that would require using a normal summon to get 3 monsters on the field, the other 9 require no normal summons), and combined with the 9 situational starters (situation being 1 normal summonable reptile monster), we are going to have about 92.93% chance to open with 2 of any of these 21 cards.
But if we just want to concider the 12 starters, we have a 90.18% chance to draw at least 1 of them.
With 10 Ra cards, we have a 84.53% chance to draw at least 1 Ra card. (Im not counting Guardian Slime which is classified as a brick/conditional extender, but if we include it, it rises to 90.18%)
With 9 Brick/Conditional Extender Cards, we have a 80.82% chance to draw at least 1, 40.98% chance to draw at least 2, and an 11.47% chance to draw at least 3, and an 1.63% to drawing at least 4.
Basically you are competing against a very small likelyhood you would draw 3 or 4 bricks, and there is an exremely high likelyhood you will draw at least 1 one card combo starter, and a Ra/Searcher. (If you add 3 Ashes and 3 Maxx C, for 46 cards, it lowers the chance to pull 1 one card starter combo by 5%, so it goes from 90% to 85%)
