Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon - Air Raid

Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon - Air Raid was introduced in the Rise of the Duelist booster set, released in the West in 2020. This card serves as a specialized support piece for the Raidraptor archetype, which first appeared in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime series as the signature deck of the character Shay Obsidian. The design reflects the series' aesthetic of mechanical, bird-like avian warriors, emphasizing high-octane aggressive playstyles and rank-up mechanics that define the Xyz-summoning strategy of the Resistance forces.

The artwork continues the established visual identity of the Raidraptor line, featuring heavy armor plating, metallic wings, and a dark, industrial color palette. Designed to integrate with existing Raidraptor engines, the card was received by players as a situational but effective removal tool that rewards players for utilizing the archetype's specific rank-up spells. Its inclusion in the set bolstered the archetype's competitive viability, maintaining the thematic focus on aerial combat and rapid offensive maneuvers.
