Easy way to remember raikas tri-type:
RIP bozo

[winter]

Reminder that insect has a dragon ruler

[truekingofallgeneraiders]

Ogdoadic has 1 card combos that can stablish the link 4 + link 5 + ogdoabyss + draw 2 in the ep + full ogdoadic engine.

The level 4 works with Traptrix fairly well, so that's neat

[FXT]

I'm still waiting for the guy that wrote a whole essay in the comments about traptrix raika when they got announced to show a decklist

I think the new lvl 4 monster is helpful in making a more pure variant of the deck with small complementary engine, encouraging you to run more handtraps and the end phase draw could be helpful in avoiding drawing into 1 of cards that you would search during the combo. The new Link 3 is an option for turn two plays instead of the original Link 3 which searches a trap, niche but still somewhat useful. I love this archetype but it’s still gonna need more support (either direct or indirect) to have strong enough plays for the meta.

raika is an extender engine. you set up before you use the raika stuff, then do full link climb combo. you also dont get locked into rep/plant/insect if you dont use the special summon effects of the links or Marikoube

[paddy]

I wrongly read Rikka in the title and was scared for my life.

[owry]

....these have gotta be playable in something.

[zaleww]

this card is actually an usable card in traptrix as an extender and idk how but if you banish it it's draw 2 for next turn or draw ht. still not figured how to banish it but raika traptrix ight be a thing. not at top tier but playable probably

Bonjour, en tant que joueur reptile depuis longtemps.
Le niveau 4 c'est une bonne carte.
Car, elle règle l'aspect brick des mains. (Permet de SS les 2 gros reptile ogdoadic obligatoires dans le deck).
+bonne extender
+niveau 4 (intéressant pour le deck)
+etc...
Le second effet s'active à coup sûr car on à besoin de banir des monstres (reptile/plante/insect) pendant la combo.
Et en moyenne sa pioche 2, parfois 3 en fin de tour.

[safeandsound]

I wanna see if anyone incorporates these with rikka/plant combo. RIKKA RAIKA sounds pretty cool lol

[RomGomLP]

I love how joshuas german accent just appears when he tries pronouncing japanese names lmao

[brus]

For the banish effect, actually many cards used in the beetroper/insect deck banish from GY, that can be easily triggered.

[timbahr]

Raika gonna run the show in infinite forbidden. The lv4 is stupid busted… so now you end on traptrix sera, traptrix rafflesia, raika link 4, their Icarus attack and a draw 2.

Then the full translation hits… fuckin Konami ruining good things

[j.t.schroff]

Raika is actually really cool, cant wait for Alien raika, now i can get the rank 3 link out so much easier

[alexemp]

I love raika please be good I love those cards

[theniteowl]

Bloom gets the Seed, then Seed gets the Hime and another card, the Hime is always banished. Seed also grabs the Hime back from banish zone to rebanish it.

[satellitegaming]

I’m just happy we get more insect cards, they will be tier 0 eventually

[arrownoir]

Ooh boy, more Aromage support. Love it.
