Pros

  • Your opponent cannot respond with cards or effects when this monster is Normal Summoned to the field.
  • You can pay Life Points until you have only 100 left, in which the Life Points paid will contribute to this monster’s ATK and DEF value.
  • You can pay 1000 Life Points to destroy any monster on the field. This effect can be used multiple times in 1 turn provided you have Life Points to spend.

Cons

  • Cannot be Special Summoned by any means, except by Sphere Mode which ignores this specific condition.
  • If you paid Life Points for Ra’s ATK and DEF value, leaving you with only 100 Life Points makes you very vulnerable to your opponent’s effect damages.

Tips

  • Due to the lack of support for Divine element and Divine-Beast type currently, it is quite challenging to for your Divine monster to exhibit further potential on the field.
  • Although immune to Floodgate Trap Hole, The Winged Dragon of Ra is not immune to Spell/Traps or Monster effects after it was Normal Summoned, therefore your opponent can take use a variety of plays to handle your monster, such as Enemy Controller, Super Rush Headlong, Mirror Wall, Mask of the Accursed etc.
  • The Life Points paid to increase this monster’s ATK and DEF is not optional, meaning you will be left with 100 Life Points and that is the mandatory result of this effect. This makes you very vulnerable to virtually any cards that burns your Life Points without going through Battle Phase. Hence it is important to have some healing cards as backup and only activate after you paid Life Points for your monster.

Speed Summon

These are the cards recommended to fill your field with enough monsters to Tribute summon the Winged Dragon of Ra. Ra’s Disciple is able to fill your field with another 2 Ra’s Disciples during the turn it was Normal Summoned. Bubonic Vermin is able to Special Summon other Bubonic Vermins from your deck, but you must protect the 1st Bubonic Vermin. Since it is flip summon and Special Summon performed by Bubonic Vermin, you can use Normal Summon on Ra. Cosmic Compass is able to generate 2 more tokens provided your opponent has at least 2 monsters on their field. You can also use Creature Seizure to force your opponents to trade 1 of their monsters to your field, by trading 1 of your tokens. Since Cosmic Compass was Normal Summoned, you need to protect all your monsters for that turn until you can Summon Ra on your next turn. Mecha Phantom Beast Hamstrat is able to generate 2 more tokens when it is flipped summoned. Worm Bait can be used if you control 1 face-up insect-type monster, which allows you to Special Summon 2 Worm tokens. Ra is a Level 10 monster so it is unaffected by Worm Bait’s effect of unable to Normal or Special Summon level 3 or 4 monsters the turn Worm Bait was activated.

Life Points Support

Since using Winged Dragon of Ra requires considerable amount of Life Points, these are some of the cards to help you regain Life Points faster.

Additional Support

Windstorm of Etaqua and Curse of Anubis generally functions to protect your monsters on the field for your Tribute Summon. Double Magical Arm Bind to take over 2 of your opponent’s face-up monsters and include them in your Tribute Summon instead, potentially making their field open for a direct attack. Different Dimension Capsule to place your Winged Dragon of Ra from deck to your banished zone face-down, and add it to your hand during your 2nd Standby Phase after this card was activated.

Future Support

Currently it is unknown whether Konami will release this support card for Winged Dragon of Ra, but it is used by game AI therefore included in Future Support Section.

Ygopro is quite slow when it comes to adding new cards. Those cards have just been announced a few days ago so you have to be patient.

Sera's Life Charge skill is now one of the best skill to use Ra farming decks with.

Ra farming decks usually WILL take a lot of turns to finish, boosting the effect of Life Charge, giving you tons of LP at once. Especially if you're like me and aim for the "no cards left in deck" assessment.

as from what i know , in the anime when someone tributes monsters to summon winged dragon of ra , must gain there attack points too from thus tributes monsters ?

Yeah, that's anime effect. Not the real life card effect.

Yami Marik has "Power of the Tributed" Skill that brings the effect back, though.

That´s one of my favorite Skills in all of the game. Feels like Ra retains one of its coolest effect from the anime.

I was expecting they´d do the same to Submersible Carrier Aero Shark as soon as Zexal came out (that mon had also a cooler effect in the anime than in the TCG), but since Konami made recently a Spell card with that same effect but buffed, guess there´s no need for it anymore.

Can we please get sphere form now? A second copy of Ra is super lame compared to getting Obelisk... that said, It’s still slightly better than Slifer in this current format (Slifer has no use right now. At least Ra makes for good farming decks)
Nick
While the new artwork looks nice, the shame on his missing support remains.
The use of these cards for farming only, is really a pity.
It needs both his sphere and phoenix mode.

This card will be competitive when Sphere Mode is released.
