Makes no sense to summon.

 

Paying Life Points till you reach 100 and then have some effect that barely works and was just throwed on is pointless. I would like it more if it gave the option to pay life points up till you reach 100. EX: Say you have 4000 Life Points and you summoned it, if its effect was like this way, you can choose how much you want to pay. Say you wanna' pay 2000, so now it's at 2000 ATK. Then you can activate its other effect to pay 1000 and destroy 1 card.

 

I could be a fan of it if they changed that and possibly change it into an Xyz.

 

And btw, why doesn't the image have a border around it? Just wondering...

Well, either you can give it huge ATK or you can pay 5000 to nuke your opponent's field and keep it on 0. 

I'm pretty sure stuff like JD, Demise, King of Armageddon and Sky Scourge Norleras do it a lot better.

 

This card sucks, despite being supposedly the best of the three. BTW, does the destruction effect target?

 

It'd be cool if its second effect destroyed any card type OR it could activate during either player's turn.

I hate this card.

 

Not the art, the art is badass. The effect is just so awful, though, and is an insult to the anime version. At least Obelisk and Slifer are faithful to the anime (Obelisk Tributes 2 monsters to kill all opposing monsters, and Slifer has 1000 x cards in hand and weakens by 2000 when a monster is Summoned).

 

"This card cannot be Special Summoned"

 

Wow, way to ignore Ra's entire shtick in the anime. You know, how Marik spent an absurd amount of time trying to use Monster Reborn multiple times on this.

 

"Same effects as other 3 Gods in relation to its Normal Summon"

 

Okay

 

"You can pay LP until you have 100 and this gains the same amount of ATK".

 

Okay, not surprised, even before the legal version existed, video game versions used this effect (except they did until 1, and it was no matter how it was Summoned). But a risky move like that should be able to win, and since this cannot be SSed, and requires 3 Tributes, you're wasting your time and resources for a 7900 ATK monster.

 

This doesn't even have Obelisk's "no targeting" effect. Granted, Slifer doesn't have it, either, but Slifer doesn't suck like this one does.

 

Oh, and you can pay 1000 to kill 1 monster. WOW, really? You mean that you have to Normal Summon this for 3 Tributes, pay all your LP but a mere 100 to give it ATK, and you can pay the 1000 LP you don't have to destroy ONE monster. OR you can Summon this for 3 Tributes, have it have 0 ATK, and pay up to 5000 LP to field wipe the opponent's monsters.

 

And this was BEFORE they printed Horakthy! The Creator of Light is literally the only reason you should EVER consider this. Gilford the Lightning is better investment than Ra, because Gilford the Lightning can be SSed, it has 2800 ATK, and if it was Tribute Summoned with 3 Tributes, it destroys all your opponent's monsters for FREE. Not for 1000 - 5000 LP. For FREE.

 

Sure, Ra can use that destroy effect at timings other than when it was NSed, but that doesn't change the fact Gilford requires identical investment, has 2800 ATK, and does the monster wipe for nothing. Beast King Barbaros is even BETTER because it doesn't need Tributes at all to be a 1900 beater! And if you use 3 Tributes, it's a 3000 beater that destroys ALL of your opponent's cards! And it can be Special Summoned! Imagine that!

The old Ra is much better:

You must offer 3 Tributes to Tribute Summon this card. The ATK and DEF of this card becomes the sum of the respective ATK and DEF values of the Tributes. When this card is Special Summoned, it is sent to the Graveyard during the End Phase. While this card is face-up on the field, it cannot be targeted by Spells, Traps, or Monsters that designate a target. When this card is successfully Special Summoned, you may activate one of the following effects:

•Pay 1000 Life Points to destroy one monster on the Field and remove it from the game.
•Pay all but 1 Life Points, and increase ATK and DEF by the amount of Life Points paid.

It seems they nerfed him for the release.

This' the kind of stuff I expect in this section. Good on you mate!

The only reason I can see for them making it so horrible and unable to be Special Summoned is if they thought up Horakthy well ahead of time and wanted to make sure you couldn't just Special Summon all 3 Gods at once and drop Horakthy.
That doesn't, however, excuse that they made it such a bad card whose power level is nowhere even remotely near the original Ra's power level.

This is plausible, actually. I suspect the video games also served as a test model of how an unnerfed Ra had the potential to OTK out of nowhere practically on its own. Being able to be SSed and still pay LP would make it almost unfairly powerful. And Horakthy being planned would justify not just making the clause that it can be SSed but can only pay LP when Normal Summoned, as Special Summoning all 3 would equate to an instant win, whether Ra had ATK or not. Of course, giving it ATK equal to the ATK of the monsters Tributed is just dangerously powerful in the first place.

 

But the inability to SS it also makes the "pay 1000" effect look even dumber, because Ra's Phoenix mode cost 1000, but Phoenix mode was used when Ra is Special Summoned from the Graveyard. So it's emulating Phoenix Mode while removing the condition that CREATED Ra's Phoenix mode.
