heraldry_lord Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force Normal Spell Card (1) Target 1 Xyz Monster you control; Special Summon 1 “Raidraptor” monster whose Rank is 1 higher from your Extra Deck by using that target as the Xyz Material. (This counts as an Xyz Summon, and any Xyz Materials attached to it becomes Xyz Materials on the new monster.) (2) You can banish both this card from your Graveyard and 1 “Raidraptor” card from your hand, then target 1 “Rank-Up-Magic” Spell Card in your Graveyard, except “Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force”; add it to your hand. It's not searchable by Tribute unfortunately, but it makes any Rank 3/4/5 into a Raidraptor (which gives it much more flexibility), and it gives potential S0 access to Raptors if they use it.

mshends Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 This card work well with S0...(ahh is it a good thing or a bad thing)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 This card works well with S0...(ahh is it a good thing or a bad thing)? While I would say that it's a bad thing that another deck can have S0 access, then again Raidraptors aren't the best deck in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 r3 in blackwings to summon an Alucard or some shit, use this, get Strix? Clearly not what it was designed for, but pretty nifty to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 So... They gave raptors a Limited Barian's Force of sorts, and it can recycle other Rank-Up cards. Sexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello my name is Enguin Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 So now I can 101/Castel, get rid one of my opponent's monsters and then turn it into Blaze Falcon to potentially kill the rest of their field. Not to mention the lovely recycling. Oh Raidraptors, I love you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Wait, it works with S0? How? Oh, SHINING 0. I got it confused with F0 for some reason. Right, because S0 requires a Normal RUM, and RRs use Quickplay RUMs. And Raidraptors allegedly are the best Utopia Deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Βyakuya Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 It's such an awesome card that now makes RUMs in raidraptors now not suck so much anymore. You could possibly Summoner Monk another RUM (maybe Raptor or Revolution Force), get a raidpraotr, Xyz into 101, steal a material, then Rank-Up into Blaze, and with Raid Force, you can go into Revolution immediately as well. Also makes 101 now not so bad anymore as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 They literally just did this for S0 didn't they. First CDI, now S0. Every so often Konami creates a dtupid Xyz and then whores it out to every deck it can, and that's becoming disgusting. This will never be used for its effect. It will only ever be pitched for a first-turn lockout on the opponent. I officially hate RUM. Konami managed to make me hate RUM. The one cool gimmick I liked from ZeXal, and that I loved Shun for using, and now I'll only ever associate it with a cancer card. *ragequits* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBeartic Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Yeah konami is being more and more cancerous. I will honestly quit YGO if they make RRs cancer, it's enough to start giving every broken cheap card easy access (S0) but if they somehow make this deck Nekroz level i will honestly quit. As for the card, outside of the cancerous uses it's not horrible at all, pretty nice and allows recycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 So...it's suddenly widely accepted that Raidraptors are a Utopia Deck and therefore this card's sole reason for existing will be to Summon S0? I think that's a touch overreaching. Any Rank 4 Deck can make use of S0. In fact, using this in Raidraptors purely for S0 would be stupid. This card isn't searchable in Raidraptors, because Mimicry only searches Quick-Plays, and S0 only uses Normal RUMs. There are significantly more normal Rank-Up Magics (Barian, Limited, Numeron, Astral, Seventh One), and if Raidraptors don't really use the RUM build, then throwing this card into Raidraptors for the sake of S0 feels impractical. Totally plausible, but impractical. Astral Force is more likely because you can go into Revolution Falcon from Force Strix/etc, or use with Utopia for Beyond, or ditch for Utopic Dragon or S0. Utopia uses so many Extra Deck slots already to use itself, C39, Lightning, S0, etc. I really don't see Raid Force becoming the primary enabler. I could be missing something important, but...

CLG Klavier Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 lol overreactions all over the place It doesn't matter if you use Raidraptors with Raid Force, or Clownblade with Astral Force/Limited Barian's Force, it still all boils down to "Rank 4 engine + 3 RUMs". Equal chance of summoning S0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei the Morning Star Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Klav what you miss is S0 will effectively push out the CDI engine. The main deck is more flexible to adding cards the Extra is not. Locking the opponent out on their turn effectively does what CDI aspires to. This can allow an expanded Planet line up such as adding in Keeper of Genesis and the artifact bugger. There really no over reaction going on anywhere. With TCG getting Noden+Instant likely untampered with raid raptors have a really good shot at become a superior rank 4 deck to say tellers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Wait, it works with S0? How? Oh, SHINING 0. I got it confused with F0 for some reason. Right, because S0 requires a Normal RUM, and RRs use Quickplay RUMs. And Raidraptors allegedly are the best Utopia Deck. Performages/Cownblade are actually pretty nifty, I wouldn't say that raid raptors are the best deck for it, since they are better off not focussing on S0 since they have good xyz's in other departments.
