[center][b]So you can continuously reuse it. Seems pretty okay for a Level 5. I don't mind unlimited Ritual food. For normal Rituals they certainly need it.[/b][/center]

[center][b]This is going a bit too far in my opinion. Now every single broken Ritual has a search card that wastes no normal summon or anything. That was Manju and Sanju's balance, this doesn't have that. Gishkis can easily use this card as well, giving them a new toy they don't need.[/b][/center]

[center][b]Okay, okay. I see what you did here. Interesting idea, not really anything spectacular, but it's okay. I doubt anyone would use it though.[/b][/center]

[center][b]I feel like this card would be better served putting Djinn in the Graveyard. This card doesn't really need too much balancing, you can easily add that effect as a second option instead of simply adding a Djinn to the hand.[/b][/center]

[center][b]I like how even the Ritual tries to help out in making Ritual Summons easier, very nice. It fits the theme well.[/b][/center]

[center][b]Check your wording, as a normal trap card, this misses the timing if a Djinn is banished for a Ritual Summon. Maybe make it a continuous Trap . As a trap card, you can't chain it to a Djinn's banishment, but if it's already on the field and the effect is mandatory, then it won't miss the timing.[/b][/center]

Hows this for Mistress: You can discard this card to add one Ritual Spell card from your Deck to your hand. You cannot Special Summon for the next two turns.

Lamp: Aaaah. OK. Will do.

For Deity: How about it can be Graveyard OR hand?

[Agro]

@Diety: That's what I was suggesting.

@Mistress: That may be going a bit TOO far. The main problem with the card is that it searches for ANY Ritual Spell. Keep that in mind when figuring out what the proper way to balance it is.

[Alice Moonflowyr]

Hmm...I have one thats a bit word-specific, but it definately balances it.

You can discard this card from your hand to the Graveyard to target one Ritual Spell card that does not include "Gishki" or "Advanced Ritual Art" in its name in your deck, and add it to your hand. You cannot Special Summon during the turn you activate this effect.
