How is it that you always do what I was planning to do just before I did it?

Oh, and COMPLETELY OPed.

OPed because I have no sense of balance, and I forgot to add that first clause.

Which is now added.

Hmm...

some extremely powerful effects, but given how underplayed (useless) most Ritual Cards are and how many ways Field Spells can be removed, its not OMG-UBER-BROKEN-CARD!!!

I dunno though still, need to play three cards from hand to gain that sort of power and control... can't decide... sorry.

If I had to pick one effect as the most powerful yet balanced, I'd say Masked Beast's. At the other end of the spectrum to suggest one that might need changing slightly: BLS's.

Nice idea for support though.

Crab Turtle seems a random choice btw.

Oh stuff added while I was reviewing. The destroy Ritual mosters on removal is appropriate and fixs the balance, as does the ATK restriction. No normal summons is nopt really needed.

Garma Sword needs multiple attacks. I mean seriously.

Still think that the effects it gives are super OPed. >_>

Actually, it's pretty bad.

The only Level 7 or under monster (i.e. only one that's searchable easily) is Garma Sword. And even after that, I'd rather use BLS. Why?

- I can actually still Normal Summon or Set if I use BLS.
- If I use MST on this, you basically lose since you won't really have any other monsters on the field because of the first effect.

Magician of Black Chaos. Even if I could get it out, it's basically a -1 for 1000 damage. I'd rather use Tremendous Fire actually. Or Meteor of Destruction.

Black Luster Soldier: Decent-ish. Only because of the bouncing effect. But you can't search it so it's balanced. Ish.

Crab Turtle: Awesomesauce. If you actually find a way to make Crab Turtle consistent.

The Masked Beast: So bad. Reshef does it better.

Crab Turtle: Awesomesauce. If you actually find a way to make Crab Turtle consistent. [b]The same way you would any other Ritual..?[/b]

Misread as destroy 1 you control :3

As in,

> You can search Garma Sword with Preparation of Rites.
> You can't with Black Luster Soldier.

Anything under Level 7 is a consistent Ritual. Above Level 8, unless it's really easy to get out (i.e. in the real game, only Gishkis or something like Demise which just has a badass effect), nah.

Only other way of efficiently searching it is Gold Sarco. Then, your opponent will see and pretty much predict whatever you're going to do next if you are running a vanilla Ritual. i.e. they will know you're running this. They'll save Warnings, Judgments, MST, Heavy Storms for that purpose. In total, that's 8 cards in the deck they can effectively ruin this with. Not to mention any Field Spells they may run.

And The Masked Beast, only because it's inconsistent. Otherwise, yes, amazing.

Besides, you have to stall for a turn after you activate an effect, leaving Magician of Chaos' effect kinda bad compared to BLS/Chaos Sorcerer which only apply to themselves. Ritual BLS will only trigger every 2 turns. You can only attack once every 2 turns with Crab Turtle if you draw. And you're asking to be set up against with all of them.

It's just so inconsistent, I can't see a way to play it well. Of course, the effects are retardedly amazing, but getting them used properly?

[Lunar Origins]

Added Dokurorider to the list, and Bump.

Card wasn't made to be 'consistent', or even competitive. Just made it because old rituals are BA.

Forgive me if I've misunderstood...but are you trying to say that the only consistent Rituals are ones able to be searched with Preperation of Rites? What about Senju of the Thousand Hands, and Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands?
