mshends Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Raptor's Ultimate Mace Equip Spell Equip only to a "Raidraptor" monster. It gains 1000 ATK. If the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle: You can make the battle damage you take from this battle 0, then add 1 "Rank-Up-Magic" Spell Card from your Deck to your hand. Raidraptor - Call Normal SpellTarget 1 "Raidraptor" monster you control; Special Summon from your Deck, 1 monster with the same name as that monster on the field. Necro Raptors Counter Trap If you would take battle damage from an opponent's monster's direct attack: Target 1 "Raidraptor" monster in your Graveyard; make the battle damage you take from this battle 0, and if you do, Special Summon that target.

玄魔の王 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 So we get a Saqlifice, an Asceticism and a Defense Draw/Reborn. That's a LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldry_lord Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Do you mind actually typing the names, because I don't see any images. Also another RUM searcher, which is nice; it would be nicer if it worked like Saqlifice IRL, and searched the RUM when it's destroyed. Call is also pretty cool, especially with Vanishing Lanius.

ihop Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 So we get a Saqlifice, an Asceticism and a Defense Draw/Reborn. That's a LOT. More like we get a mediocre Saqlifice and a mediocre Ascetism, don't oversell them. The trap seems reasonable, I guess? idk, none of them except maybe the Adcetism-like one look particularly impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Oh, hey, a Raptor card that searches any Rank-Up card... How nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuelSpectre Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 1. Ultimate Mace is ok, it gives Raidraptors a Djinn out, and a 2300-2700 beatstick is nothing to laugh at. Put this on Strix and it becomes even bigger. Search is too situational though, and RUM aren't really that good in RR with the current targets. 2. Call is fine, but the only worthwhile target for it is Vanishing, which limits the card's usefulness. Swallow's Nest is better overall. 3. Necro Raptors is not good...at all. You don't even get to trigger Raidraptors effects when they are summoned, and if you really don't want to get OTK'd, Readiness is better. Nice try Konami, but no dice.

Hello my name is Enguin Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Wonderful to see more Raidraptor support. The trap doesn't really seem right to me, the other 2 traps so far have had double usages for both the field and grave, would not use this. But Call and Mace are interesting, Call particularly for if you brick and only draw 1 Raptor or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 These fit Shun's Dueling style perfectly, though. Ultimate Mace makes his monsters more threatening and inflict more damage, while also protecting them (and himself) from damage. Grabbing a RUM afterwards is just amusing. Call is actually pretty useful. It means you don't have to rely specifically on combos going off to do anything (so if Shun miraculously didn't open Vanishing Lanius x3), but the key part of this is that it grabs a monster with the same NAME. Raidraptors were playing off the implied concept of the same name in the anime for ages. (Vanishing only Summons monsters with the same name, Nest only searches a monster with the same name. Dimensional Xyz requires 3 of the same name). RL Raidraptors are thankfully more flexible. Necro Raptors is mediocre, but it fits Shun's style of how he's always being pushed to his limits from the war, so he'll endure the attacks and destruction of his monsters, and then strike back just when you think he's down. That's how Readiness worked. That's how Adversity worked. That's how THIS works. Essentially, that's Shun's entire theme. Low ATK swarming monsters that uses the aggression of the opponent to kill them. If you weren't so destructive and aggressive, Shun's Deck is passive. Seriously, ever since Shun lost to Sora in their rematch (though the Duel was skipped to the point of absurdity) and became vulnerable for an episode or two, I found his theme and character infinitely more interesting and awesome. It helps that he stopped opening 3 Vanishing every Duel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they're comparable in strength, I'm saying that's the role the cards fit in the Deck, and the "wow" was in response to the "cover all the bases" approach shown.
