Copy

This is the default combo for anyone aiming to learn competitive Raidraptor. It is not recommended as a splashable combo due to its heavy extra and main deck requirements.

Basic decklists that uses this combo can be found at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kXZB07FOvgnBWzR35vc72nXSLt9LAMWtHyjddqxE6fg/edit?gid=740110553#gid=740110553

Evolutions of this combo exist but require precise tracking of the number of DARKs in GY. As the deck already has a long combo, those versions are not recommended as the first combo to learn even if they are more effective in the long run.
