QQ: How Much Rai-Oh?
QQ stands for Quick Questions! There’s no doubt about it: Thunder King Rai-Oh is one of the hottest cards in the room. Duelists everywhere are playing it. A lot of Gladiator Beast and X-Saber Decks are Main Decking it, while many other Decks are Side Decking it. I’ve asked several players how many copies of Rai-Oh they’re using this weekend to see just how popular it has been. Check out some of the responses.
