MBT's video made all the cards go up in price by at least ten dollars. If you look at the price graphs, all the prices went up moments after his video.
I think this is bc nobody is playing around Towers decks anymore. Everyone is preparing side for Snake Eyes variants but a towers is something that no one is having in their radars.
meta decks have outs to the towers from the extra deck anyway. They are able to push through your board wipe+ negate trap if you didn't also end on sufficient hand traps. As Josh and many people who are or are not on the deck (i also am on this deck myself for fun and did very well with it at locals), the biggest advantage of the deck was people not knowing the correct chokepoints so they just hit the first card that you summon, which in a deck with like 5 different kind of extenders play in your advantage. Once the deck gets more exposure and people learn it gets a lot harder.
This deck doesn’t lose to imperm, it loses to imperm OR nib. You can play around one or the other, but not both. I usually choose to play around imperm by waiting to go into raider’s knight until later in the combo after you summon raider’s wing with force strix to make knight untargettable. You lose to nib if you do that, but since most players are on 6 imperm and 3 nib, it makes sense to play around the one that is more likely to happen imo.
completely agreed, and now there might even be more Ghost Mourners joining the party so the correct play is probably tunnel into Raider's Knight to play around targeted effect negation, and if they have NIb they have Nib.
Thought you couldn't use Sat cannon because of it need to be XYZ summoned with RR a material and cheating it out either summons with no material, or summons not XYZ. That new spell doesn't work because it attaches after summoned
@@kanyeguest7779they’re not talking about the duster effect, they’re talking about the second effect which is a quick effect to minus attack on an opponent’s monster
As someone who has played this deck a bit, I’ve found a couple issues with it. First, all of the extenders require you to already control a monster, so unless you have Simorgh or Bloom Vulture in hand, a single piece of removal being used on your normal summon can be turn ending. The other issue I’ve found is that all of your monster effects are ignition effects, and don’t trigger on summon, so your opponent can remove the monster before you had the chance to use its effect. Other than that small issue of removal hurting pretty hard, the deck feels great. It can play through hand traps fairly well, and the rank 13 can burn for some crazy damage against Snake-Eyes
16:25 he's doing a very poor job of explaining. So I will. This deck has lines that let you play under droll and lock bird, and the only thing really hurts is the double impermanence. Veiler, while troublesome, can be negated and if you are Ash, Nibiru or Droll incorrectly, the deck punishes you because it's able to sequence to the same end board with 2 towers instead of three.
@@Nikko_no_Tabi a month late but let me try: Basically there is this argument that the deck dies to a few different types of handtraps. I've played this deck for the past month with the new build post-PHNI and I can say that it doesn't. Let's have a look: The deck can play absolutely fine under Droll. Once you add something through cards like Force Strix or Mimicry Lanius, and they Droll you, you can pivot into Wise Strix then rank up, and just keep pulling cards out of the deck via Special Summoning or Set to field directly. Zero care in the world. Ash Blossom only hurts Mimicry Lanius due to it having the largest search pool in the deck. However, people tend to use Ash on Tribute Lanius to prevent Mimicry from hitting the GY. Wrong move. Now you have a Raidraptor on the field and all your extenders are online. Not to mention the new card Noir Lanius is a very tempting Ash bait that can be special-ed with Bloom Vulture, which is un-Ash-able. Nibiru is a mixed bag. On one hand, you can't really make a rank 10/13 under 5 summons, but the sheer amount of built-in extenders in this deck really puts the pressure on the opponent on when to actually nuke you. I've eaten a nib to the face and still end up on a rank 13 + a beefy token. Sadly, under the threat of nib, you just push
I have been droll, ashed and nibbed in a turn and still won that with raidraptor, had to hop off the deck cause half my locals started running sphere mode to combat my deck
Honestly there's a few budget decks capable of at least playing the gamw well enough to win games if they get good enough hands. I quite like RDA and the fact they can just make Red Nova backed by that trap that banishes the opponents field that recurs itself to hand every turn. Like watching people scoop to two bamish board wipes is just fun.

It annoys me that a lot of the best cards in the deck are ignition effects vs trigger effects. Makes the deck super susceptible to removal based interactions going into boards. Reminds me of the problems with tri-brigade.
neither of these help your Xyz dodge effects which is when they should be using their removal anyway. While I don't mind these cards helping you play Raider's Wing turbo, they are not good cards for effect dodging outside of your opponent being completely ignorant of the deck. @@CaliburXL99

Swallows crow is good in theory but you need card advantage to win in RR, you usually need 2 birds so if you draw 1 bird and 1 swallows crow it’s not full combo. In the essence of RR it’s a win more card, not a combo extender or consistency booster. If you have 2 birds you have combo, if you have 1 and swallows crow thats not really combo
@@gauravohol1749 If you tribute a card with a valuable gy effect, then that’s combo. There are definitely a decent number of two-card lines with Cowrie, and if you’re playing stuff like the Simorghs you’ve got a decent amount of redundancy. Not to mention the ability to search in draw to ensure your hand beats droll before it becomes an issue, and the fact you have some lines/hands where you can hold the card to dodge an imperm and still set up some sort of board afterwards. I only playtested the deck for a couple of hours the other day, so I don’t feel confident saying whether you’d want to play it or not. But it seemed like it opened up a lot of possibilities, and it didn’t ever brick me. The real issue for me was that the flexibility it offers is a lot more relevant going first than going second.
The optimal hand is 3 Raidraptor names and two handtraps. If you tribute your monster with that spell and you get Ash'd you just went neg two and have no follow up. Having extra RR names in hand is what lets you play through handtraps.
I'm sorry the cost of this deck is going to go up :( i made comments when the raid raptor support was coming out in a few places how helpful it would be because it removes the restrictions of the old raptors to only ss raidraptors. All they do is extend so the restriction was kind of important lol
My friends aqua and guarav (3rd and 8th) been amazing with RR. loved the video showing them. Josh being dramatic as usual lol U play through ANY 2 handtraps very easily (including imperm and veiler)
Unchained beats literally every handtrap in existence- how did it go from top tier to absolute no one playing it at all… I still think it’s absolutely strong, just a tiny bit worse than before
Uh.. no. sharvara to 1 deleted the deck. It was limited for no reason too. Konami limited it and in the same breath released snake eyes lol. imo, its totally fine to bring it back to 3 along with kit to 1 and we'd have ourselves a really interactive format. But as it stands, unchained is unplayable copium. By all means, cope as hard as you want, but konami deleted the deck.
Number c62 galaxy eyes has base 4k atk and if you detach afterglow chain one c62 chain 2 afterglow, afterglow get all number monsters atk doubled c62 atk up to 3 of their monsters and with photon dragon c62 is unnafected by monster effects and gains 100 atk for each level of attached monster so c62 is annoying for raidraptors and c62 would be at about 12000 atk
Except, if you're playing Galaxy-eyes, the Raidraptor player is just going to summon the rank 13 towers on your turn and burn you for game after wiping your board.
@@masterchiefblank4885 you'd hit them before they manage to summon C62. Could also negate C62 with the Raidraptor trap card that can be searched and set.
But, the deck literally has a card that makes your xyz untargetable when you have it as an xyz material, its not like imperm and veiler is going to destroy any hand
Yes, but you play extremely hard into Nib if you did not naturally open that and another extender, because you will be in Nib range before you summon Arsenal Falcon (2 level 4, Raider's Knight, Brave Stryx, Arsenal is the only way you can put Arsenal on the table before Nib range). So it is not true that this deck can easily play through hand trap like some people believe/claimed. You just have to decide which you want to play into more unless you open optimally (Wing+ extender). If you need to summon another monster prior to making Raider's Wing live, you will get punished very hard by Nib.
From my testing, nib actually isn't too big of a deal since the raider's knight line plays around it very well. The bigger issue actually has been imperm on raider's knight w/o raider's wing of on the link 2
@@HumanoidCableDreadscrossout is great if you can win 100% of your dice rolls. You could cut 3 handtraps from our list for it, but it’s a card you don’t want going second
it will since you have to hard draw it plus a extender, if you use up your normal on something else you cant play around nib anymore soeither die to imperm/veiler or to nib

@@leviathan5207 Wingman changed the deck quite a bit. Also it's not that the deck isn't viable, but more of the deck having excellent meta matchups but hard losing into a lot of rogue decks making it unfavorable for events due to early round variance.
@@consoleunkn3152 HERO is primarily a going second deck, that has nothing but floodgates going first. The reason you think it's a going first deck is because despite all those OP going second cards, going first is still better. I agree they are a terrible pick for YCS, but the reason is facing random rogue decks when you don't expect them. For example unless you play Blazeman (none does) you auto lose to Shifter. Thrust into D-Barrier (no fire deck plays d-barrier) hurts immensly. On top of that, Droll is everywhere that can be a turn ender depending on the hand. Finally Super Poly (most fire decks changed this to Crossout) can hurt since Linkuriboh is everywhere stopping the protection Dark Angel offered from it. It might should weird, but if everyone was on SE/FKSE tier 0, HERO would be a great pick, then lose to a random matchup against Branded (bystials)
i would say josh should just mimicry about it that he has to read 10 jabilion cards for the "new" deck. surely that would normally never ever happen when a new set comes out
Bro, raidraptors is mainly 2 card combos and its enough .. theyre unstoppable actually you can rank them as tier 0 engine. since if u get 2 birds in ur hand ure done. even a duplicated birds (there is an exception s...)
I think it’s great when a pure version of a deck becomes good. Not like people are splashing 500 engines and calling it Raidraptor (like with Phantom Knight Adventurer DPE Burning Abyss), it’s the actual pure deck. The deck has gotten some very cool and on-theme cards, so the only thing I can think of why you could be upset would be that you’re no longer the underdog hipster for playing it I guess?
@@thestormtrooperwhocanaim496 the issue is then you're also drawing nib less consistently and the logic of putting it in your deck is that you want to have it as consistently as you realistically can. i understand feeling like you draw 2 a lot and its cringe but mathematically you won't be
Nib, the card that hits every meta deck in the format and doesn't effect your towers is bad? And unless you're using Veiler or Ash as tuners, those cards are also bricks in the wrong situations, doesn't mean you shouldn't run them.
It’s sad that the “best budget deck” is just shit. How is anyone suppose to be motivated to try and compete when the best thing you can play on a budget is just pure toilet water.

From my testing, nib actually isn't too big of a deal since the raider's knight line plays around it very well. The bigger issue actually has been imperm on raider's knight w/o raider's wing of on the link 2
@@HumanoidCableDreadscrossout is great if you can win 100% of your dice rolls. You could cut 3 handtraps from our list for it, but it’s a card you don’t want going second
it will since you have to hard draw it plus a extender, if you use up your normal on something else you cant play around nib anymore soeither die to imperm/veiler or to nib
Every time you mention you hate loci, I will hardopen cosmic cyclone for your fountain
Which platform is your podcast on Josh ? :)
You Tube, Spotify, Apple
What's the title of it mate ? @@GoldCobra314
Oh come on I didn't order yet.
raid raptors seem cool. but god am I too lazy to learn them... just too many...
Good budget deck? Can't wait until they hit in in the banlist like Matchmech or SHS.
Runnick Chimera watching in corner
i literraly just put lava golem in my side deck beacause branded can do nothing against this deck after the big chickens are out.
That’s just robo floo
I bought that deck to have an sleeper deck. Atm iam selling it again...
Josh: „Oh so this is just an extender“
Yeah, Josh, it’s an extender. EVERY raidraptor is an extender. 😂
Edit: Let’s see how long it takes him to figure it out.
Edit2: 9:24 He figured it out!
Also Raid is so fun to play with
Excited for Runick Raidraptor now
I'ma try cracking some skulls woth Dino's
the deck sucks, people just don't know what it does... as soon as the choke points start being shared and common knowledge the deck will decline hard
It's pronounced MIM-ICK-CREE
First time watcher, guessing this guy likes to play control decks
No idea why I’m constantly recommended this guy. I haven’t watched very much but the condescending arrogance is incredibly off putting. I get the guy is good but his personality seems awful.
i got this deck just in time i only paid 100 total on tcg lets goo got my tribute for 2$
How can i get this Spreedsheet?
Blackwing comeback?
Virtual World beats all of those hand traps 😂🤷♂️
mathmech circular ratio
Know another deck you can play for less than $100 and is way better? Play plants, join the garden
No Kali Yuga? Not giga chad🐸
Confirmed josh thinks bird decks are cringe decks...
Budget? In Brazil Arsenal is a 35 dol card
in not fucked up countrys its 2-3 euros
better then 100 euro bonfire
is it just me or josh become a bit plumpier. he still looks good tho
PLEASEEE talk about heros. how easy dark law is to get ooutt and with plasma is deadly, and can shut down meta decks
"Please talk about these old cards everyone knows are good and not the new support that came out."
Heroes has been unchanged since dpe released and not been remotely viable since then.... EVER.
It's the definition of copium-tier.
@@leviathan5207heros are good going 1st but if u lose dice u will lose against snakes lol so its not good pick for ycs
@@leviathan5207 Wingman changed the deck quite a bit. Also it's not that the deck isn't viable, but more of the deck having excellent meta matchups but hard losing into a lot of rogue decks making it unfavorable for events due to early round variance.
@@consoleunkn3152 HERO is primarily a going second deck, that has nothing but floodgates going first. The reason you think it's a going first deck is because despite all those OP going second cards, going first is still better.
I agree they are a terrible pick for YCS, but the reason is facing random rogue decks when you don't expect them. For example unless you play Blazeman (none does) you auto lose to Shifter. Thrust into D-Barrier (no fire deck plays d-barrier) hurts immensly. On top of that, Droll is everywhere that can be a turn ender depending on the hand. Finally Super Poly (most fire decks changed this to Crossout) can hurt since Linkuriboh is everywhere stopping the protection Dark Angel offered from it.
It might should weird, but if everyone was on SE/FKSE tier 0, HERO would be a great pick, then lose to a random matchup against Branded (bystials)
i would say josh should just mimicry about it that he has to read 10 jabilion cards for the "new" deck. surely that would normally never ever happen when a new set comes out
Bro, raidraptors is mainly 2 card combos and its enough .. theyre unstoppable actually you can rank them as tier 0 engine.
since if u get 2 birds in ur hand ure done. even a duplicated birds (there is an exception s...)

Leave my raidraptors alone 😤 i swear so many times I play a deck cause it’s pure version is so fun and then it ends up becoming meta and and shit :(
I think it’s great when a pure version of a deck becomes good. Not like people are splashing 500 engines and calling it Raidraptor (like with Phantom Knight Adventurer DPE Burning Abyss), it’s the actual pure deck. The deck has gotten some very cool and on-theme cards, so the only thing I can think of why you could be upset would be that you’re no longer the underdog hipster for playing it I guess?

I think raidraptors gon lose a lot against mecha phantom beast
Nib is overrated. Not worth the bricks. 12 hand traps should be consistent enough.
with 12 you have a 47% chance to draw 2 or more but with 15 it goes up to 63% if you can you need to be playing 15
@@harleypettersen9225what about 14? Drawing 2 nib in the first hand makes me sadge lol. I like 3x all the others and 2x nib
@@thestormtrooperwhocanaim496 the issue is then you're also drawing nib less consistently and the logic of putting it in your deck is that you want to have it as consistently as you realistically can. i understand feeling like you draw 2 a lot and its cringe but mathematically you won't be
@@harleypettersen9225 hmm that is true. Probably just in testing ive been unlucky. Ill have to get more runs in then for practice
Nib, the card that hits every meta deck in the format and doesn't effect your towers is bad? And unless you're using Veiler or Ash as tuners, those cards are also bricks in the wrong situations, doesn't mean you shouldn't run them.

It’s sad that the “best budget deck” is just shit. How is anyone suppose to be motivated to try and compete when the best thing you can play on a budget is just pure toilet water.
WAYYYYYYYY TOO MUCH TALKING AND LOOKING UP CARDS AND PAUSING
the video is about a content creator learning how RR works.
the video delivered exactly what the title promised.
wow so much bird hate! It’a a fun deck, that’s gotta be worth something. Plus plenty of dudes like you who don’t know wtf it does lol
