Card Tips:The Winged Dragon of Ra


 * The Original Promo Egyptian God cards are illegal to use in any and all real duels (both Traditional and Advanced Format alike), and they also have no effects, but they can be used in Nightmare Troubadour, Spirit Caller, Tag Force 2, and 5Ds Stardust Accelerator.

Advanced Format:

 * This card can be useful with Self-Destruct Button.
 * Use Life Point gaining cards or Life Equalizer to gain access to this card's monster destroying effect.
 * As the legal Ra can not be Special Summoned you can use Monster Reincarnation, A Feather of the Phoenix, Herald of Creation, Pot of Avarice or other such cards to return it to your hand if it gets Discarded or Destroyed.
 * You can use Trap Monsters and Imperial Custom to gain tributes for this card.
 * Use Destruct Potion to regain the Life Points used for attack when this card may be Destroyed.
 * Dark Worlds, X-Sabers, Lightsworns, The Six Samurais, Psychics, or Blackwings can work well with this card as they can swarm the Field and be used for tributes.
 * Sangan, Evil Hero Infernal Prodigy, Gilasaurus, Turbo Booster and Jester Confit are also excellent monsters to use for this card's summon.
 * Supremacy Berry can be grand after summoning this card as it often gains you the power to kill 2 monsters and maybe Direct attack for massive damage.
 * Draining Shield allows you to build up Life Points for either of this card's effects.
 * You can use Nightmare Archfiends and Owner's Seal as a combination to instantly Special Summon 3 monsters to Tribute for this card, which can also work for Obelisk the Tormentor.
 * 2 copies of Life Absorbing Machine can give you back the Life Points you paid for the effects of The Winged Dragon of Ra, but three is just peachy.
 * Leave this card's attack at zero, and equip it with Heart of Clear Water to protect it so you can use its monster destruction effect.
 * Using Spirit Barrier you can avoid taking damage from your opponent's monsters.
 * Have Dark Bribe on the field because this card can be targeted by effects.
 * Having Ancient Fairy Dragon on the field will ensure life points to use for Ra's destruction effect, and then you can attack directly with it.
 * If both you and your opponent have around the same amount of Life Points before you activate The Winged Dragon of Ra's ATK and DEF increasing effect, activate another card effect that increases the ATK of Ra and attempt to attack for game.
 * With Healing Wave Generator on the field with this card you can generate just enough life points to use this card's destruction effect.


 * Use Foolish Burial to send this card directly from the Deck to the Graveyard, which makes it easier to use or find, saving the need to use cards with effects to Draw a card(s), or using cards like Different Dimension Capsule or Gold Sarcophagus to find Ra.


 * Use "Celestial Transformation" and "Inferno Reckless Summon" to get three "Zolgas" then tribute them to get an extra 6000 life points for ra.
