Max Darkness Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 In yet another attempt to derail the meta Konami loves so much, I present a card that at first glance may seem redundant, but when understood shows its true prowess. Enjoy. [i]Also, the reason "Lost Sanctuary's" artwork depicts a generic ancient church is because it's an archetype Ritual Spell, with the archetype in question spanning the Attributes and Types. I just happen to have started with the most demonic-looking of its members.[/i] [center][IMG]http://i54.tinypic.com/ru6w48.png[/IMG][/center] [b]Effect:[/b] Select 1 "Forgotten" Ritual Monster in your Graveyard and Tribute monsters from your hand or side of the field whose total Levels equal or exceed the selected monster's Level. Then, Ritual Summon the selected monster from your Graveyard. While this card is in the Graveyard, if you draw a Ritual Monster during your Draw Phase, you can discard that card to draw 1 card and return this card to your Deck. [center][i]Ancient fury that the earth cannot restrain erupt forth. Punish the heathens in both this life and the next! Death Ritual! Eternal flame, Adranus, Forgotten Chthonian![/i] [IMG]http://i56.tinypic.com/21kw0a8.png[/IMG][/center] [b]Effect:[/b] This cannot be Special Summoned except by Ritual Summon from the Graveyard with the Ritual Spell Card "Lost Sanctuary". This card cannot be destroyed by monsters Special Summoned from the Graveyard. Cards sent to the Graveyard are added to their owner's Graveyard instead. Once per turn, you can select 1 Ritual Monster in your Deck, and add it to your Graveyard. Then, return 1 Ritual Spell Card and 1 Level 3 or lower Ritual Material Monster in your Graveyard to your hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MibeR Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Once per turn, you can select 1 Ritual Monster in your Deck, and [b]send[/b]it to your Graveyard. Pretty good idea using RItual from Graveyard. Yeah, Rituals can be helped with this kind of Summon. 9.8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexadin Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Both images are nice. "Lost Sanctuary" is really usefull for these 'Death Rituals' and I like how it increases draw power while recycling itself. "Adranus'" effects however, besides its last effect which can totaly abuse "Ritual Raven", seem kinda useless agains non-"SD" cards. Though some elaboration might help me onderstand it. A 8/10 for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the rate. [quote name='lvl1hero' timestamp='1308387073' post='5291959'] ... damn... ... you're too pro... xP [/quote] Thanks.

Therefore, any card that has "When...is sent to the Graveyard..." in its effect can no longer trigger, or be activated. So "Dandylion", the Searchers" and every other Send-reliant card is rendered useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexadin Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Aah, how could I have missed that. That really makes it way more usefull. Though some cards like "Level Eater" and "Necro Guardna" don't really seem bothered with this, it is still quite Anti-Meta. I like it. I'll raise the rating to a 9.2/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is designed to be more of a generic lockdown rather than supreme Anti-Meta like my earlier "Yomi-No-Mikoto". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
