LOL yes, the raid block cards are a novelty and nothing else. The biggest problem is that the only ones are commons, and even the strongest one, Banaspati Raja has an atrocious raid efficiency of 350 (ATK/PWR + 1). I do remember hearing that raid block is the only skill whose chance of activating increases with skill level, and some tests do seem to support but not confirm that. And since skilling up a common EX is child's play, a skill 10 would be very easy to create. But again, even if acrivation were 100%, the extra hit you'd get from the skill very likely would not be worth the poor damage it is going to contibute to your raid line. Now, were they to come up with a decently efficient, high-power UR with the raid block skill, perhaps it would be worth swapping out one of your statndard raid cards for it, but as it stands, no they are just useful as any old skill common to skill up your rares which in turn skill up your UR's.

Also, nowhere has it been proven, nor even supported, that the position of a raid card has any bearing whatsoever on it's frequency of activation. Show me a player who swears up and down that their raid card fires more frequently at position 2, and I will show you another player who swears up and down that it fires more frequently at position 1. Such is the nature of randomness. :)
