Introduction to Raidraptor (2024)
Introduction
About the Author
Hey there fellow duelists. I am Yamiferanmi or you can just call me Yami. I am excited to bring you the guide of one of my favourite Decks. I have been playing Raidraptors for 3 and a half years in the TCG format.
Overview
The Raidraptor archetype consists of Dark Winged-beast Monsters that were used by Shun Kurosaki from Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V Anime. It is a Deck that relies on Xyz Summoning. It mostly uses Rank 4 Xyz Monsters, but also gains access to higher Ranked Xyz Monsters using Rank-Up-Magic cards. The Deck can be built by going through both Invulnerable Iron Wings and Indomitable Knights Secret Packs.
This Deck Specializes in Xyz Summoning multiple times with just 1-2 cards in hand. The end boards that this Deck makes are nearly unbeatable due to its boss Monsters. After reading this guide, you will know the true potential of the Raidraptor archetype.
Important Note Before Reading the Guide
As you all know, Raidraptors got massive support and because of this reason we no longer have to rely on the powerful boss Monster, Loading... . The Pure Version is now viable and just as good as the Kali Yuga Version and more consistent. The Kali Yuga Version also got buffed with the new support and it is also way easier to make Loading... .
Since the Kali Yuga Version is still popular among Raidraptor players I will split the guide into two sections; The Pure Raidraptor and The Kali Yuga Raidraptor. If you want to learn the Pure Version read the Pure Raidraptor Section, Pure RR Combos, “My Current Decklists” section and then read the “Thoughts on the Deck” section. Read the Kali Yuga Raidraptor Section of the guide, Kali RR Combos, “My Current Decklists” section and “Thoughts on the Deck” section if you want to learn the Kali Yuga Version. If you want to learn both read the entire guide.

It is basically a Loading... for the archetype. It sends any Raidraptor card from your Deck to your graveyard. A Monster that would be sent by this effect, most of the time, is Loading... or Loading... .
