If you control no cards, you can also add 1 "The Winged Dragon of Ra" or 1 card that mentions it from your Deck to your hand.
Sun God's Flare is the cornerstone of the deck, providing consistency and powerful combo setup. Its specific effects are as follows:
- Reveal the Winged Dragon of Ra in your hand to play a Guardian Slime from the deck to the field, helping start your turns.
- If you control a god (like Winged Dragon of Ra ), you can set your life points to 4100 and add a Monster Reborn from outside the deck to your hand.
This ability gives the deck significant card advantage, especially when going later, by providing Monster Reborn and life point gain, while also ensuring access to starter cards like Guardian Slime .

Conclusion
Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
- High Consistency: With three starter cards ( Ra , Ancient Chant , The True Sun God ) and the Sun God's Flare ability, the deck easily sets up a strong field.
- Defense: Sphere Mode cannot be targeted, Immortal Phoenix is not affected by effects, and The True Sun God blocks attacks, allowing you to survive enemy attacks.
- OTK Ability: Immortal Phoenix clears the opponent's field, combined with Ra or Number 84: Pain Gainer to end the match.
- Strong anti-field: Sphere Mode can sacrifice three of the opponent's monsters, very effective when going behind against strong disable fields.
- Increase Sun God Unification's life points and skills to help maintain high life points, ensuring survival and paying for the effects of Immortal Phoenix .
Weaknesses
- Combo a fragile card: If the opponent has a non-targeted discard (like Compulsory Evacuation Device ) for Sphere Mode or discards The True Sun God , the combo can be broken.
- Weak against DD Crow : DD Crow targeting Immortal Phoenix in the graveyard can ruin the plan.
- Backrow Dependent: The deck relies on The True Sun God and Sun God Unification , making it vulnerable to Mystical Space Typhoon or Necrovalley .
- Attack Lock: The True Sun God prevents monsters other than Ra from attacking during the turn they are special summoned, possibly preventing OTKs if they are not removed.
Conclude
Winged Dragon of Ra is a powerful and underrated option in the Duel Links meta. To optimize, focus on 15-20 starter cards and add tech cards like Mystical Space Typhoon to counter the meta. Good luck conquering Duel Links with Winged Dragon of Ra !
