    I've been addicted to Raika Ogdo recently, and I love seeing it here, but oh my god this list has some issues:
    -Snake Rain is crazy. Play 3. Hell, play six if you want to with a Thrust playset. Especially if you can force out an Ash with something before it, it's like a one-card full combo plus.
    -Melusine isn't summonable with that list. Literally no reptile tuners in the main. Benghalancer is also questionable to make it to. Run Haggard Lizadoise instead, he's budget snake Heatsoul! And he also can gimmick something's attack to zero to let Echidna get a double search sometimes.

      i mean it still works but for a reptile deck, it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WEIRD. like sure you'll still be invited to yugioh parties, but you'll ALWAYS be at the back of the line to get food if you play this with coatl in mind.

      Also isn‘t Promethean Princess played at the moment in the deck? Since I thought you don‘t want to lock yourself so early with the Raika Link 2 and just want to climb into the Raika Link 4 with it.

      @@IyoMaestro Princess is played if you're on the Evols package, since she can bring back a milled Megachirella for full combo. The list would look more like what you're describing, with just one of the Raika link 4 to climb out of Princess and no other Raika.

Inzektor Piko makes it super easy to access your stuff, the Ragnaraika continuous spell and ED monsters make it easy to link climb, and Sting Lancer is absolutely insane going second since it's a pseudo hand-trap. Neptune recycles what you banish from the Ragnaraika stuff (or Armor Horn) and just represents a body. It's really cool and everything synergizes well, but I don't have a complete list. I'll try and get one but no promises.

    I'm excited to try RaikaTrix myself!
    I believe the non engine slots in that list can be improved upon, most noticeably with triple tac since you can easily play through one handtrap, limp through 2, but die to three. Triple tac makes it so that your board ends up killer (you easily play around nib with raff) and you get to save your raika effects until AFTER you make rafflesia or they stop your rafflesia with a handtrap, hence turning on triple tac
    Important to note that since you can't imperm sera or raff, it's much easier for the sequencing of handtraps to play into triple tac rather than otherwise

If not locked I can go into I:P into S:P as the decks version of Hieratic Seals. I had a friend take a look at it and they said they cannot judge the deck because they cannot tell how it works. The end boards are similar to yours but it has much more durability due to the way I built the deck. I also run more reptiles.

    Im a big fan of the beetrooper/ insect pile version of this deck. The beetrooper insect piles most appealing strength was it could play through most anything. Interruptions, hand traps, even nib and shifter but the problem was it never ended on anything impactful unless you just went scary moth cicada king and fly and sting, now with the raika stuff adding more extension to the deck you’re playing not to create power boards that stop your opponents from playing but to drain your opponent of resources that let you win in the grind since most of the meta is explosive in 1 for 1 trades. After actually looking through the lines and how it plays I was able to swipe wins from meta decks that just could not put me down for good. Have to say it was refreshing, surprising, and fun

    Sad to not see any mention of the naturia variant as i've seen (and experienced for myself) just how well that variant plays. It can play even without the ragnaraika cards as naturia itself is an extremely strong engine that sets up multiple negates and can easily set up follow-up for next turn. The only issue that variant has at present is minor inconsistency but for the most part, that variant is my personal favorite with how much non engine it can slot in vs most other variants.

    While I agree that it isn't quite up to taking on the meta, I will say that Ragnaraika feels like the home that Ogdoadic have longed for since release. Snake Rain (which should be played at 3; what's wrong with you?) actually feels super powerful as a 1.5 card starter.
    Unfortunately, Evil Seed feels like the exact opposite; I get that 1-card combos are pretty contentious in modern Yu-Gi-Oh, but the amount of things you can do with a single Seed is surprisingly low. I'm not asking for a negate or anything (which I honestly think would be pretty irresponsible to put on a Ragnaraika Link, given they can revive themselves), but more pay-offs are definitely needed.

    I hate and love this deck. Reptiles need a lv 9 non light or earth that could do nothing and be amazing because World Legacy Monstrosity would be live so you could get a board wipe and search a plant without using your normal. To get pudica or seed + a draw from Jormunandr.
    Edit. You can also get 2/3 normal summon by running lonefire,Cyclos,rose girl. That can get you Hastorr to send off Stag making him a pop+negate/snatch. steal.

      @@autobotstarscream765 the thing is, you just need 3 Paidra and you're done, you get a meta deck.
      Ragnaraika has two cards that are Secret bouncing between 15 and 20 bucks, and both can be played at different ratios so you might want a playset of each. And the payoff is basically a really mid engine that you can fit in some archetypes .

      @@autobotstarscream765 yeah, pure Traptrix feels stronger anyways and is ultra budget. I tried the engine because I love the design and I'm a sucker for plants, insects and reptiles (specially Ogdoadic).
      Specifically in Traptrix it makes the deck more combo heavy and susceptible to Nib and other handtraps, and overall I enjoy more the control aspect of the archetype, so I guess I'll wait until they are more affordable.

      @@GreaterGewd Nauya and Nunu are 1.5 card combos(Nauya needs any monster to normal then tribute, nunu needs any card, makes king of the feral imps then does the nauya line):
      Nauya send Keurse, Keurse tribute a monster summon Nauya, add dawn, dawn tribute Keurse summon 4, make 2 skeletal soldier into jasmine and tribute the remaining monster, summon lonefire, lonefire for evil seed, banish samurai beetle and add bloom, bloom summon beetle, jasmine and beetle into mantis monk, beetle summon lonefire, mantis banish whatever to add hunting dance, lonefire summon mudan, mudan add glamour, glamour tribute mudan add and summon primula and princess, make strenna, detach princess and add back whatever, evil seed into dryas, skeletal return dryas to extra to summon, skeletal summon evil seed and make dryas again, dryas and mantis monk into the sunavalon link 4 and add sunavalon bloom, mantis return skeletal to the extra for follow up and to summon itself, dawn gy effect shuffle nauya to send and summon night sword serpent, it and mantis monk for chain coils
      So you end with:
      -Sunavalon bloom for non target monster negation
      -Hunting dance for pop 2
      -The sunavalon link 4 for bloom and as a board wipe turn 3
      -Chain coils to stop monster effects from the hand
      -Rikka strenna-princess set up for 2 interuptions(2 monster negates or 1 negate and a tribute)
      Aswell as
      -Ragnaraika bloom for follow up
      -Whatever you added with strenna to hand for follow up
      Serpentine line is similar to the one in the video but serpentine summons lonefire for evil seed then does everything i mentioned if not more. If you got enough lvl 4s you can return mudan with strenna then summon it to tribute and trigger the first strenna, then make a 2nd one to trigger during the opponents turn with princess

    Apparently, the best use for an entirely new archetype is to have four of its cards absorbed into the Plant Pile. Ouch.
