I have all the RDA cards and i got 2 lotus king tdy. Personally i think 2 Lotus and 3 Bone is better for me, but i have to say thank you for this profile on my 2nd favorite deck besides blue eyes. I've been looking for a profile like this, and I truly appreciate you, Big Dawg Cali!
I also play a single copy of Shining Dragon because it actually opens a play for King Calamity thats really awesome. This in place of the Black Goat Laughs and the Centurion Synchro but our builds are SO so close but i expect nothing less of Black Atlas 😎
"Sitting here watching rda vid by cali....hears a whisper...do it...looks over at jack atlas ×3 decks smashed together and sees calamity sitting on top...do the lock...i...i am weak"
I don't know why people don't play this deck, like who doesn't like shouting "ABSOLUTE POWERFORCE" and looking down your opps mons getting slaughtered by the crimson king himself! And the traumatized look on yout opp is priceless!
You told me at Regionals that you were updating the deck but I forgot and got all the missing parts to the last RDA video! Gonna see how that goes and how well I do at my locals. Might update to this version! Great to meet you at the Vegas Regional!
Just started play RDA in MD and building a deck IRL. I came back to Yugioh last year only to see stuff like this where my beloved 5D's era cards are really getting some love and doing fairly well for themselves. Jack Atlas would be proud! I really like some of the changes you made to a more " standard" version of the deck and I'm definitely adding Crime to mine. Nice video 👍
Cali, I'm a fan of yours, greetings from Cuba (we have a large Yugioh community) I love your videos. Coincidentally, I wasn't sure about ordering x3 Crimson King structure decks and you just motivated me. KEEP THE GOOD WORK BROTHER ;)
Late to the party, Cali. I broke down and picked up Bystial Dis Pater for $20 on TCG. Grateful it dropped some more. Always enjoy the videos, and best of all, it was a great ending to a great work day!
Im a new resonator player who came from the blue eyes brick fest ( still loved the deck tho), can I have tips on what to do incase my soul reso gets ashed? When that happens I just stare at my cards.
Try to bait the Ash beforehand. YGO is as much a mind game as it is a memory game. Using cards like Foolish Burial, Crimson Gaia, Resonator Call or Stonesweeper can bait an Ash out.
Centurion RDA isn't just for bigger end boards. It enables ways to break boards and helps dealing with cards RDA struggles with like Nib and Droll a bit easier. Cent also provides more extra deck utility as we can now synchro on the opponent's turn as well as cheat out other boss monsters. It also allows for an even better grind game. It also doesn't add that many bricks, the only real brick is Trudea. You can still pitch the others of cards like Bone Archfiend to make them useable.
Hey, I'm glad you like RDA Centurion some things to clear up from my side. 1. There is no such as a grind game in YGO right now. Games are over by turn 3-4. RDA cooly enough hase the ability to finish games just as fast. 2. I don't think RDA needs utility and abilities to cheat out boss monsters. You make your board and win on the next turn. 15 hand traps decreases the celling of the opps board and lets you break it. 3. Between Primera requiring your NS, Trudea being a brick, the quick play spell (If you play the dragon that is another brick) you add more unnecessary cards to a deck that already has enough bricks. You can pitch anything for Bone's effect, BUT that doesn't mean you SHOULD play it.
@thecalieffect I think there's a lot of wisdom to this. I was playing mannadium against a RDA player that went first. His board was was so interactive that I just scooped game two even though I opened pretty decently. No grind game to be had there.
@@froakage7437 You'll probably be able to find quite a few, but you'll definitely want to experiment with ratios for the Cent variant as from what I see, different people have better results with different ratios.
I been wanting to try new sleeves i am sick of lgs stuff. My boy delivered a fire RDA video and dropped teal sleeves i think its time....... Its gotta be a sign
@@Good-Vibeing nm just bored so I was watching yt and I seen Cali uploaded lol. This list isn't bad but needs work. 2 bone is kinda weird but ig works No void apocolapse which I feel is mandatory in pure if your not playing extenders such as supay, wildwind. Flame crime isn't "always" a great extender and ending on just abyss plus red reign is Cool but isn't always enough to win the game assuming it gets disrupted
@@thecalieffect If your interested i got vids up on a person's master duel channel. "Fafnir master duel" it's the best replays you've probably seen for pure Rda. Reach master rank last season. Good amount of going second duels. It'll show you how void Apocalypse can be used Also i just learned a new combo from you thanks big dog.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but how many black goat laughs do you run? Im right that its over a 40 card deck right? (Im newer to the game i figured all decks were 40 lol)
Bro, me too. I was looking for a profile with some info and combos on Lotus and Black Atlas himself blessed us with his absolute powerforce of a deck profile. (No disrespect/racism intended Cali, just using ur nickname from your 1st 2 rda vids)
been trying to run this deck w RLK, but it barely comes in handy. I think you are over hyping its usefulness in this deck by a lot. using it for combos rarely comes up and using its effect to send a trap to the GY sounds better than it is. Bone definitely needs to be put at 3 and at most I’d run 1 RLK.
Cross out, Res Call, Earthbound, Vision, Crimson Gaia. If you follow up with any of these 12 cards (Around an 80% chance to have at least one) you can on Scarred + Red Zone + Red Reign which is just as good.
If you have skynron and soul in Hand u can play around veiler and imperm you normal summon soul search bone bone dumps vision you increase your level go to scared summon synkron an proceed with the combo as usual your opponent had to hold imperm for there turn or if they have veiler it’s useless
Hey, I understand what you said. I just explained why I put it at in in detail. I also explained the card I dropped it for so if you wanna revert back to 3 that's YOUR CHOICE! It's been working wonderful for me so far!
If you don't have RDA cards and you have all your Tenpai stuff, I would just focus on the deck I have rather than blowing more money on a second deck, but it's totally up to you.
Idk if this was pointed out yet, but RDA Abyss is lvl 9, not lvl 10. In the last combo Red Reign will get rid of Abyss unfortunately. Great deck either way. I've been a RDA main player since 2016.
Thanks for this, I must have watched this 3 times. I had a RDA deck back when the original RDA tin came out and just got back into Yugioh after, like, 15 years. I have two questions: 1. My Imperial Imperms are going into my Cyber Dragons, is there any other cheapo cards to put instead, for the short term? Trying to be a bit cheap, they went up in price, and I already dumped a bunch into the SDs and most of your decklist. 2. More practically. What is this deck's defense against giving the opponent a huge Nibiru token? Or hasn't that happened to you? I was going to put in Tyrant RDA, but I feel that maybe too destructive, and Scarlight only destroys effect monsters.
Hey Cali, I wanted to say that I love your videos and your deck profiles are always extremely good ways for new players to learn how a deck functions. Even if some say that choices such as HERO may be copium, don't be disheartened by them- the work you put into these profiles is certainly not in vain. Though one thing I want to touch on is Red Lotus King at 3, and why I personally believe it isn't as good of a choice as it seems. Red Lotus provides us with Red Reign and a strong endboard, but only so if we have Crimson Resonator and Soul Resonator in hand or a way to search them. Without those two, Red Lotus King won't end on a strong board if on any board at all. Red Lotus King, unlike the supay engine, can't be used as a back-up plan in case we get interrupted by Nibiru or other hand traps and is a dead card as an extender if we already used our normal summon. Hence why personally, I'd rather have it as a 1-2 of incase we do open that hand for it. Otherwise, it'd be better to consider 1 more bone archfiend as it ends on Abyss and Dis Pater on it's own along with the Supay Engine. If you read this far or saw this comment, I thank you for bringing more attention to this super fun deck that's very dear to me and many others. Keep at it, big guy. 💪
Hey, I enjoyed the read. You seem very insightful on the deck as well. i respect your opinion and think it provide some good points! Allow me to give you a breakdown on why I think it's optimal in case it wasn't clear in the video. 1. There are 13 Ways into Soul giving you about an 80% chance to open it. Competitively speaking, it's on par with Snake opening SE Ash. Some games are unlucky, but when you have this type of consistency to open your best card you roll with it. Especially if you have other 2 card combos for the 20% of the time that can make up for it. 2. As far as needing Crimson & Soul that is incorrect. Crimson by itself is full combo into Hot Red + Red Reign. The goal was to beat snake eyes and with an 60% chance of also drawing at least 2 hand interrupts, it gives you more than enough to handle that matchup. Remember bigger board doesn't always mean a better one. 3. I absolutely LOVE the Supay Engine strictly because it does play past Nib, but when deck building you have to a make some concessions. In order for me to play enough interruption to counter top decks as well as extenders/protection I had to cut down on engine. It's a good thing that Nib is the 5th most used HT right now and we play Crossout + other extenders to help. 4. You're correct Lotus is NOT a great extension piece, but here it is the center piece of the deck imo. Red Reign does answer the Snek matchup better than Abyss/Dis Pater or even Red Super. I love that you dropped your opinion and I hope you well received mine!
Oh yeah, of course dude! As enjoyers of arguably one of the coolest archetypes in the entire game, duelists should always work together instead of against eachother. Now that I see your point with Abyss and Red Reign being powerful against snake-eyes, I do realize that if you brick that badly that you only open with one Soul Resonator, you likely have other handtraps that go along with it. Which you also said, if I remember the video correctly. Nonetheless, great work as always. I don't know how people give you Master Duel replays to watch, but if you're interested in seeing a pure RDA build going second without any handtraps drawn on my side, let me know.
Yes, you can revive the Scarred with Shining and go into Crimson during your opponents turn, or you can go into Centur-ION auxilia and since she's a dark dragon, Scarred will Lightning Vortex the opponent
I'm very surprised you aren't using shining star dragon as it's quick effect can have you go into crimson dragon and bring another body like king calamity or other 12 synchro monsters
@@lifedeather never said it was, I was just using it as an example. Shining Star Dragon synergies very well the RDA because most of them are level 8’s so the fact that you can get another level 10 or 12 with a free summon on your opponent’s turn can help you depending on what the situation you’re in.
So what can i use instead of Flame Crime? Its current price tag is the real crime. Solid profile Jack Atlanta. Makes me want to build RDA eventually lol
Cool video! Interesting new combo, so thanks! :) What's your thoughts on using Shining Star Dragon. Targeting Red Rising in GY and a leftover Crimson Resonator to Calamity lock opponents?
It increases the ceiling, but doesn't make the deck better in terms of consistency/resiliency so it's not really that great rn. I like that it COULD make dis pater on the opposing turn, but that only works if you combo, which means you already are in a position to win.
why do you play a card that needs no card in hand (Void Oger Dragon) in a deck where you play 15 hand traps so where you always have cards in hand ? I need to understand !
Here's an honest question: Why does no one play Magical King Moonstar with Flame Crime? Between them and Soul Resonator, that's a STUPID EASY Red Rising Dragon
Hey Cali, I am new and I just bought 3 copies of this deck today if it’s not too much can you give me a list just for the 3 starters? All the videos I saw were pretty dated
Thanks for the profile! Took something similar to this to locals. About half the time I got just hand traps and couldn't play on the next turn :( Will have to try again next week.
Without the new fiend this already destroyed my best friends pet decks Generaider-Runick and Blue Eyes now it will be way worst (for him) with this one monster able to get a full field bannishing. Btw, I love play 1 "Scarlet Sécurity" with Crimson Gaia and Vision Resonator it's too easy to have acces or recover from grave an Harpy Feather Duster not ones per turn, Except hardcore Red dragon and 5DS fans no one know this card but it's so useful in a lot of matchups For the most budget players, you can have this really strong deck without the big Centur Ion synchro, without Dis Pater and Crossout with ease, the red dragon that destroy special summon monsters + burn is a nice budget alternative.
My deck definitely beating Tenpai dragon because I have a special little card known as firewall dragon darkfluid: Neo Tempest Terahertz, your opponent cannot activate monster effects during the battle phase and what are Tenpai known for their battle effects
I’m sold cali , I’m gonna give this deck another run , I was cooking with it when the structure deck came out , I was stealing games left and right from much better decks , this format however is a heavy hand trap format but with the new support and space for more non engine I should be fine
Could you please let us know which booster packs to buy for this deck is best? At the current rates I’d almost rather try my luck than purchasing some of these cards.
Small thing but 60 sleeves is such an awkward amount like it gets up to a 45 card deck and then a side but the optimal amount would be 90 to cover a 60 card pile side and extra deck
Didn't know Lotus King could send ANY normal trap. That makes me so much more hyped for when Master Duel finally gets it. And for the second combo, if you have more than 1 lvl 1 tuner fiend and Lotus in hand, you can actually get that same board but with Crimson Gaia getting Red Zone instead. I actually saved that game in master duel with that turn one end board. Where the combo is different is after Crimson Resonator, Soul resonator searches Synkron resonator, make Red Hot Abyss first then special summon Synkron from hand to make Dis Pater, return Vision to Hand. Bone Archfiend summons itself, lower Crimson Resonator to 1, special Vision from hand to make Res. Dragon, put Synkron back on field, Uvualoop banish Res and Red Hot Abyss in Grave, synchro Supernova. Dis Pater returns Red Hot Abyss and Crimson Gaia is free to search Red Zone. (Note: this is on master duel and the monster I used in place of Lotus is Magical King Moon Star that also summons itself when a tuner is on field.)
Cali there is a combo with bone archfiend and crimson witch can end on hot red red super nova and bystial dis pater if you want the combo just ask but it is a hot 5 minute combo LOL
It is a good card and can be a hand trap Negate plus an OTK enabler since it gives a Synchro you control 2k attack, but it takes the right moment to pull it off.
Question. Which is better, Belle or D.D crow? Reason I’m not using bystials they conflict with my deck. So now I’m conflicted between d.d crow and belle. I know belle can stop a good amount of the meta but is useless if a branded player goes for the puppet lock and they have Branded lost. Meanwhile d.d crow can get rid of it on your opponents turn so they can’t. Only problem with d.d crow is that it may not be the most effective and isn’t that good against Labrynth.
me personally i’d say belle, because it has more versatility in most matchups against decks that spec back a lot from grave, which is quite a few. D.D crow is a good option to side though
I use mikankos in my RDA . With soul resonator I can sync the mikankos and I can use mikankos blue UR spell to bounce back my soul resonator and can use witch black forrest to get Ohime it's actually pretty good

I'm very surprised you aren't using shining star dragon as it's quick effect can have you go into crimson dragon and bring another body like king calamity or other 12 synchro monsters
Because increasing the ceiling doesn't make it a better deck.
King calamity turbo is not great at all and not what the deck is about
@@lifedeather never said it was, I was just using it as an example. Shining Star Dragon synergies very well the RDA because most of them are level 8’s so the fact that you can get another level 10 or 12 with a free summon on your opponent’s turn can help you depending on what the situation you’re in.
Definitely cant wait to play with the numbers with rda had to get myself a playset of qcr flame crimes
So what can i use instead of Flame Crime? Its current price tag is the real crime.
Solid profile Jack Atlanta. Makes me want to build RDA eventually lol
What are your thoughts about shining star dragon for the deck & it’s a hand trap
Is the red lotus king a must card? I want to try this on master duel but the card is not yet available.
You don't need it. You can use Bystial, Supay Engine, whatever else floats ur boat, bro.
Cool video! Interesting new combo, so thanks! :)
What's your thoughts on using Shining Star Dragon. Targeting Red Rising in GY and a leftover Crimson Resonator to Calamity lock opponents?
It increases the ceiling, but doesn't make the deck better in terms of consistency/resiliency so it's not really that great rn. I like that it COULD make dis pater on the opposing turn, but that only works if you combo, which means you already are in a position to win.
@@thecalieffect damn this makes me sad lol i bought 3 qcr to play with
Try it. You might have different results!
Shining not good in RDA sadly
@angelburgos1871 no worries. Shining star can be great in a Stardust Synchron Deck or even a pure centurion build.
why do you play a card that needs no card in hand (Void Oger Dragon) in a deck where you play 15 hand traps so where you always have cards in hand ? I need to understand !
I guess bc that effect can come up sometimes and it is another body. But tbh it isn't that good. I prefer Tyrant RDA or DED
Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
it's time to stand up worth to use? you send it to gy with lotus and while having a lvl 10 synchro dark dragon you negate a monster effect
Dang it cali you made king lotus skyrocket in price 😁🤣
Been rocking this deck before Crimson King dropped good to see Cali has found its true power
Good thing I got my lotus playset for 6$ at my locals😁
hi bro another great video, 17:23 big mistake because Bystial Dis Pater is level 10 and Abyss is 9
Always a huge fan of Big Man Cal, and we all know RDA is a bit cooler than Stardust 😂
Here's an honest question: Why does no one play Magical King Moonstar with Flame Crime? Between them and Soul Resonator, that's a STUPID EASY Red Rising Dragon
Your so smart Look Like Andre from outcast
😂
You are the Jimmy Hendrix of Yugioh
That new flame lotus card card is 10 bucks now
Hey Cali, I am new and I just bought 3 copies of this deck today if it’s not too much can you give me a list just for the 3 starters? All the videos I saw were pretty dated
Bro made Red Lotus jump a whole dollar in an hour 😢
lol it’ll die down
I’m surprised u didn’t use skull miester form ur last profile
@@Instant_karma89 not effective anymore.
Thanks for the profile!
Took something similar to this to locals. About half the time I got just hand traps and couldn't play on the next turn :(
Will have to try again next week.
Handtrap heavy format makes us kick rocks lol. Did you 3x Crossout, Called By and Crossout Targets?
I would recommend cutting 1 nib and playing a 3rd Crimson Gaia or a Foolish Burial
Without the new fiend this already destroyed my best friends pet decks Generaider-Runick and Blue Eyes now it will be way worst (for him) with this one monster able to get a full field bannishing.
Btw, I love play 1 "Scarlet Sécurity" with Crimson Gaia and Vision Resonator it's too easy to have acces or recover from grave an Harpy Feather Duster not ones per turn,
Except hardcore Red dragon and 5DS fans no one know this card but it's so useful in a lot of matchups
For the most budget players, you can have this really strong deck without the big Centur Ion synchro, without Dis Pater and Crossout with ease, the red dragon that destroy special summon monsters + burn is a nice budget alternative.
Bro no hate but flame king is nowhere near as good as Bone archfiend i dont knoe ehere you got that from
can we get a dlink deck profile?
Will u do any quality test for the new version of the sleeves? Thx
My deck definitely beating Tenpai dragon because I have a special little card known as firewall dragon darkfluid: Neo Tempest Terahertz, your opponent cannot activate monster effects during the battle phase and what are Tenpai known for their battle effects
I’m sold cali , I’m gonna give this deck another run , I was cooking with it when the structure deck came out , I was stealing games left and right from much better decks , this format however is a heavy hand trap format but with the new support and space for more non engine I should be fine
Within 2 weeks Red Lotus already boosted in price 💀.
not going to lie uvaloop is not needed, i want to love that card...
3 red rising does not come up
but i think the deck in general is based and would do nothing else to it
I used to think the same, but if you can afford Dis Pater Uvu is a must for combo lines and finishing games.
Same I never use uvaloop, really dislike the card, just another brick
@@nicholasreid1348this I disagree with though, 3 red rising is usually needed especially if one is stopped 😂
Too bad Red Lotus skyrocketed in price, is no so budget now😅
The real question is, when are we getting Red Lotus in Maste Duel?
Could you please let us know which booster packs to buy for this deck is best? At the current rates I’d almost rather try my luck than purchasing some of these cards.
Small thing but 60 sleeves is such an awkward amount like it gets up to a 45 card deck and then a side but the optimal amount would be 90 to cover a 60 card pile side and extra deck
Didn't know Lotus King could send ANY normal trap. That makes me so much more hyped for when Master Duel finally gets it.
And for the second combo, if you have more than 1 lvl 1 tuner fiend and Lotus in hand, you can actually get that same board but with Crimson Gaia getting Red Zone instead. I actually saved that game in master duel with that turn one end board.
Where the combo is different is after Crimson Resonator, Soul resonator searches Synkron resonator, make Red Hot Abyss first then special summon Synkron from hand to make Dis Pater, return Vision to Hand. Bone Archfiend summons itself, lower Crimson Resonator to 1, special Vision from hand to make Res. Dragon, put Synkron back on field, Uvualoop banish Res and Red Hot Abyss in Grave, synchro Supernova. Dis Pater returns Red Hot Abyss and Crimson Gaia is free to search Red Zone.
(Note: this is on master duel and the monster I used in place of Lotus is Magical King Moon Star that also summons itself when a tuner is on field.)
@thecalieffect can u do a video about a RDA Centurion when came out INFO with new supports?
I bought 1 Lotus king instead of 3 when it first released and were cheap, now they are over £5 each. Doh!
Cali there is a combo with bone archfiend and crimson witch can end on hot red red super nova and bystial dis pater if you want the combo just ask but it is a hot 5 minute combo LOL
Glad this is a pure profile, not a fan of the centur-ions.
2 Lotus maybe 1 and i play a small Centurion package with gargoyle 1 field and the synchro plus Crimson dragon
do you think that "time to stand up" could be another budget option instead of "the black goat laughs"?
It is a good card and can be a hand trap Negate plus an OTK enabler since it gives a Synchro you control 2k attack, but it takes the right moment to pull it off.
Hey Cali can you do something like this in M.D
Question. Which is better, Belle or D.D crow? Reason I’m not using bystials they conflict with my deck. So now I’m conflicted between d.d crow and belle. I know belle can stop a good amount of the meta but is useless if a branded player goes for the puppet lock and they have Branded lost. Meanwhile d.d crow can get rid of it on your opponents turn so they can’t. Only problem with d.d crow is that it may not be the most effective and isn’t that good against Labrynth.
me personally i’d say belle, because it has more versatility in most matchups against decks that spec back a lot from grave, which is quite a few. D.D crow is a good option to side though
The issue with the deck that it relay on soul resonator a lot .
Love this deck but I’m still keeping the bystial engine etude of the branded is too crazy in this deck
As of right now red lotus is 15 bucks a pop now
Can you show us the side deck of the rad deck profile
Love it brother! Keep up the good work!
Appreciate it!!
Idk why but I was reading burning soul and it looked kinda good but I’m assuming it’s not?
too bricky.
But let me ask you this? How do you beat shadoll, invoked branded bystial and dogmatika?
What about x3 xx-clusion for hand traps
Bro forgot Crimson shooting dragon. It helps the deck when you opponent stops your combo but you can make ds pater or abyss.
I just realized that Flame crime is actual garbage
I use mikankos in my RDA . With soul resonator I can sync the mikankos and I can use mikankos blue UR spell to bounce back my soul resonator and can use witch black forrest to get Ohime it's actually pretty good
I think this deck once it gets a synchro that’s able to either negate monster effects or Omni negate, this deck will be even more amazing!
