| With the [[Master Rules#Master Rule (April 1, 2020 revision)|revision of Master Rules]], "Raidraptor" finally regained their full speed from the Master Rule 3 era, being able to Summon more than one "Force Strix" at a time, while also reaping the benefits of "Wise Strix'" swarming and "[[Rank-Up-Magic]]"-tutoring effects. A batch of support encouraging the usage of [[DARK]] [[Xyz Monster]]s alongside "[[The Phantom Knights]]" and the "[[Xyz Dragon]]" themes was also released in ''[[Phantom Rage]]'', bringing with them less-restrictive extenders ("[[Raider's Wing]]" and "[[Raidraptor - Strangle Lanius]]"), a utility Xyz Monster ("[[Raider's Knight]]", which can Special Summon a DARK Xyz Monsters with its own effect, like "[[Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]"), and a new "Rank-Up-Magic" card, "[[Phantom Knights' Rank-Up-Magic Force]]", which allows much easier access to both "[[Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon]]" and "[[Raidraptor - Final Fortress Falcon|Final Fortress Falcon]]". | | With the [[Master Rules#Master Rule (April 1, 2020 revision)|revision of Master Rules]], "Raidraptor" finally regained their full speed from the Master Rule 3 era, being able to Summon more than one "Force Strix" at a time, while also reaping the benefits of "Wise Strix'" swarming and "[[Rank-Up-Magic]]"-tutoring effects.

− | === Sample combos ===
| |
− | A "Raidraptor" Deck can setup a board with several forms of interaction, as well as monsters that are unaffected by other cards' effects. As such, even if the opponent manages to continue their plays after going through all of the player's interactions, they are still forced to deal with "[[Raidraptor - Rising Rebellion Falcon]]" and "[[Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon]]". The main way of doing so starts by Summoning "[[Raider's Knight]]" by using at least 1 [[Winged Beast]] monster, which is detailed below. This can start a combo that builds a board with the following goals:
| |
− | # Summoning "[[Raidraptor - Rising Rebellion Falcon]]" and "[[Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon]]", both of which have high [[ATK]] and are unaffected by card effects.
| |
− | # Setting up themed points of interruption in the form of "[[Raidraptor - Glorious Bright]]", which can negate the opponent's cards (especially "[[Evenly Matched]]" and "[[Herald of the Abyss]]"), and "[[Rise Rank-Up-Magic Raidraptor's Force]]", which can Summon "Rising Rebellion Falcon" during the opponent's turn to [[destroy]] all of their cards and inflict massive damage.
| |
− | # Summoning generic forms of interruption, notably "[[Evilswarm Nightmare]]" and "[[S:P Little Knight]]".
| |
− | # Creating follow-up for the next turn by having "[[Rank-Up-Magic Skip Force]]", "Raidraptor - Glorious Bright" and "[[Raidraptor - Bloom Vulture]]" in the GY, allowing access to several forms of recovery, as well as an [[OTK]] using "[[Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]" (Summoned with "Raider's Knight").

| |
− | # Activate "Strangle Lanius" to Special Summon "Bloom Vulture" from the GY.

| |
− | # Activate "Raider's Wing" in the GY to detach the last material from "Force Strix" to Special Summon itself.
| |
− | # Xyz Summon "[[Evilswarm Nightmare]]" by using "Tribute Lanius" and "Raider's Wing".
| |

| |
− | There are other ways to start this combo, changing it slightly, but still ending on the same board. For instance, if the player opens with a Level 4 "Raidraptor" monster and an extender (such as "[[Simorgh, Bird of Perfection]]"), they can Summon "Raider's Knight" as usual, and at the end of the combo, "Rising Rebellion Falcon" can copy "Force Strix" instead to search "Bloom Vulture", and use it to Special Summon itself and the "Raidraptor" searched by the other "Force Strix".
| |
− |
| |
− | Alternatively, a similar combo can be performed by simply opening "[[Raidraptor - Tribute Lanius]]", which can send "[[Raidraptor - Fuzzy Lanius]]" to the GY to search another copy of itself and Special Summoning itself. This will lock the player into "Raidraptor" monsters for the rest of the turn, but the only interactions removed from the combo are "S:P Little Knight" and "Evilswarm Nightmare", while allowing "Force Strix" and "Rising Rebelling Falcon" to search more forms of follow-up for the next turn.
