 Winged Dragon of Ra

10.21.05  Hello! Firstly, I would like to extend my sincerest and deepest apologies for all of the commotion / problems that the article after this paragraph caused. My purpose in doing this was to put some more clarity on how to use the Winged Dragon Of Ra in a duel. As every Yugioh fan knows, there are no official rules on how to use the Winged Dragon Of Ra. To the fine people who work at the Pojo website, please remove this article wherever it is posted and put this paragraph in its place instead. There is SO MUCH information on the Winged Dragon Of Ra that it is literally impossible to tell which ones are credible and which ones aren't! Again, I extend my sincerest and deepest apologies for all of the commotion / problems that the article below caused. As a huge fan of the Yugioh series, I hope that everyone accepts my apologies. To spare others from the scrutiny and problems that was inflicted upon myself by this article that was intended with the best intentions in mind, please keep your rules for playing with the Egyptian God Cards to yourselves to spare yourselves from unecessary problems that I have recently encountered! I am neither upest nor angry, I am just warning others out there from making the same mistake that I have! Until Konami or Upper Deck release a set of "OFFICIAL RULES ON HOW TO USE THE EGYPTIAN GOD CARDS," I would refrain from using the Egyptian God Cards to avoid getting into an argument with somebody or a group of people. The only exception to this rule is if you are playing with your friends who all agree on a set of rules for the Egyptian God Cards. Each person has a hobby in life that takes them away from all of the stress and problems that we have everyday. Always remember to put your education and work ahead, and you will always be able to find time to do what you enjoy! In my case, it is Yugioh. Furthermore, there is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying your hobby (whatever it may be), just keep everything in balance. You know: Work, School, House Maintenence, Financial Maintenence, Social Obligations and your hobby. I gotta go people, peace out! Yugioh forever baby!"

THE WINGED DRAGON OF RA
You must tribute three monsters in order to summon Ra to the field. Ra’s attack is equivalent to the current attack sum of the three monsters used to tribute summon it to the field and Ra’s defense is equivalent to the current defense sum of the three monsters used to tribute summon it to the field. Like the other Egyptian Gods, control shifting effects are completely useless against them! Also, the Egyptian Gods are ranked among themselves, thus the higher your status, the more immune you are to the effects of the others! The Winged Dragon Of Ra is the most powerful, hence Slifer’s and Obelisk’s special abilities will be completely useless against Ra. Slifer The Sky Dragon is the second most powerful, hence Obelisk’s special ability is completely useless against Slifer. Obelisk The Tormentor is the weakest of the three.

(1) 99.0% Immune to trap card effects, they can’t be destroyed or returned to the controller’s hand! Effects like “Call of the Haunted” will only bring Ra back to the field for one turn. Ra’s attack and defense are zero when it is summoned from the graveyard. The 1% of trap cards that affect them only last for one turn and are automatically destroyed upon the beginning of the next turn.

(2) 99.0% Immune to spell card effects, they can’t be destroyed or returned to the controller’s hand! Effects like “Monster Reborn” will only bring Ra back to the field for one turn. Ra’s attack and defense are zero when it is summoned from the graveyard. The 1% of spell cards that affect them only last for one turn and are automatically destroyed upon the beginning of the next turn.

(3) 100% Immune to monster effects, they can’t be destroyed or returned to the controller’s hand! Monster effects that resurrect monsters from the graveyard are completely useless on them.

Unlock Ra’s battle mode
When successfully summoned to the field, Ra will be in its sphere mode. In this form, Ra will still occupy one slot in the monster card zone. However, it will be unable to defend your life points, has no battle position, and cannot be targeted as a attack target, monster effect target, trap target, or spell target!

To unlock Ra’s battle mode, you must recite the incantation below. The summoner gets the first chance to do so, if they’re unable to do it on their turn, the opponent can do so at the beginning of their turn.

“Great beast of the sky please hear my cry. Transform thyself from orb of light and bring me victory in this fight. Envelop the dessert with your glow and cast your rage upon my foe. Unlock your powers from deep within so that together we may win. Appear in this shadow as I call your name, WINGED DRAGON OF RA!

Ra’s Special Abilities

(1) Soul Absorption Ability: Ra will absorb the current attack/defense of the three monsters that were used to tribute summon it to the field. Thus its attack/defense will be the total sum of these monster’s attributes.

(2) Command Ability: Ra will only obey and follow whoever recites the ancient incantation and awakens it from its sphere mode. Thus, the only way for your opponent to control Ra when summoned from the graveyard would be for them to recite the ancient incantation. Therefore, your opponent using “monster reborn” without reciting the ancient incantation will result in Ra appearing on your side of the field instead.

(3) Instant Attack Ability: When successfully summoned from the graveyard, Ra can attack immediately regardless of any trap or spell effects that forces Ra to wait to attack or makes it unable to declare attack because it forced to switch to defense mode. Don’t forget, Ra will return to the graveyard at the end phase of this turn.

(4) Point-to-Point Transfer Ability #1: This ability can only be used when Ra is summoned from the graveyard. Transfer all but one of your life points to permanently increase Ra’s attack and defense equal to the number of life points that you gave up. Don’t forget, Ra will return to the graveyard at the end phase of this turn.

(5) Point-to-Point Transfer Ability #2: This ability can only be used when Ra is summoned from the graveyard. Instead of using “Point-to-Point Transfer Ability #1,” sacrifice any other monster on your side of the field to permanently increase Ra’s attack and defense equal to the total number of the current attack and defense of the monsters that were sacrificed for this special ability. This ability can be used in conjunction with “Point-to-Point Transfer Ability #1.” Don’t forget, Ra will return to the graveyard at the end phase of this turn.

(6) Immortal Phoenix Mode: Pay 1000 life points to transform Ra into its ultimate form! If you wish to do so, Ra can destroy every card on your opponent’s side of the field and inflict half of Ra’s current attack as direct damage to your opponent’s life points. If your opponent somehow manages to survive this onslaught, Ra will remain in this form until the end phase of the next turn. Although Ra cannot be removed from the field and receives absolutely no battle damage while in its “Immortal Phoenix Mode,” the ability to destroy every card on your opponent’s side of the field and inflict direct damage to their life points can only be used upon the initial activation of the this effect! The 1% of spell and trap cards that affect Ra becomes completely useless while it remains in this mode.
