mshends Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Raidraptor – Devil EagleDark Winged Beast / Xyz / EffectRK3 1000/02 Level 3 “Raidraptor” monstersYou can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up Special Summoned monster your opponent controls; inflict damage to your opponent equal to its original ATK. You can only use this effect of "Raidraptor - Devil Eagle" once per turn. http://ygorganization.com/blackhornwillneverbefixedintcg/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier Alexander Romanov Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 You know, Raidraptors wouldn't be so bad if they actually got decent stats on their Xyzs.They primarily rely on their effects, and hating anything that is Special Summoned, when pretty much any monster you would Normal Summon could run over them.

Sander Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Can they just get another Rank 4 with 2 mats other than Force Strix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Look who came down with Ra Syndrome: -Hard OPT.-Not a quick effect anymore-Must target opponent's monsters-Only does original ATK Damn Konami, it as already kinda lacklustre because of the Materials it needed, why did you nerf it that damn hard?

玄魔の王 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 As an aside, this basically confirms Skull Eagle, and possibly Raidraptor - Call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Eww, it didn't need to be nerfed that hard. They could've gotten away with not doing anything to the effect and just restrict the materials. Yeah, this thing doesn't deserve to be any higher than a Common.

玄魔の王 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 It did? I must;ve forgotten that.It was shown in the second episode of that duel. Skull Eagle better get a major buff if this is gonna see any play. I still hope for Wild Vulture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I do agree their Xyz could stand to be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello my name is Enguin Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 I bloody love Raidraptors and this had an amazing effect that made it more than worth the inconvenience of getting it out. Now it's useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexanort Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 you guys really not expecting this to keep its quick effect right? even with hard opt something that can burn for 2000+ is not something to laugh at...even with all the nerf its still a pseudo volcasaurus....with all the swarm effect RR would have no problem getting this at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBeartic Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 There goes konami ruining cards in my favorite archetype. Wow... they could've just made it original attack and once per turn. The funk is the point of targeting considering we have cards to prevent that. Goddamn it. Goddamn it GODDAMN IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thing requires what has hitherto been a Rank 4 deck to splash in Level 3s (of which there is currently 1 and it has 0 synergy with the deck) and make this just to do a little burn. That and as has been pointed out its 1000 ATK is paltry compared to Volcasaurus' 2500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the Majespectre one. Or the Monarch one post-Structure Deck. And no, Singing is 4. Skull Eagle and Wild Vulture are the only non-LV4 ones.

Toffee. Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 *heavy sigh* Why the funk couldn't they just make this a 4? Raptors don't give a sheet for 3s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 *heavy sigh*Why the f*** couldn't they just make this a 4? Raptors don't give a s*** for 3s.Because Hikokubo wanted to show off Raid Force. I'm all for getting multiple Ranks if we get more LV3s, which is why people are speculating Wild Vulture will et a Level Change effet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
