Red-Eyes rituals [Lord of the Red & Knight of Dark Dragon]

[CLG Klavier]

Lord of the Red: (left)
You can Ritual Summon this card with "Red-Eyes Transmigration". Once per turn, during either player's turn, when a card or effect is activated other than that of "Lord of the Red": You can target 1 monster on the field; destroy it. Once per turn, during either player's turn, when a card or effect is activated other than that of "Lord of the Red": You can target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy it.

Knight of Dark Dragon: (right)
You can Ritual Summon this card with "Dark Dragon Ritual". At the start of the Damage Step, if this card attacks a Defense Position monster: Destroy that monster. You can Tribute this card; Special Summon 1 "Red-Eyes" monster from your hand or Deck, except "Red-Eyes B. Chick". You can only use this effect of "Knight of Dark Dragon" once per turn.


Red-Eyes Transmigration: (left)
This card is used to Ritual Summon "Lord of the Red". You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field, and/or banish "Red-Eyes" monsters from your Graveyard other than "Red-Eyes B. Chick", whose total Levels equal 8 or more.

Dark Dragon Ritual: (right)
This card is used to Ritual Summon "Knight of Dark Dragon". You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal 4 or more. During your Main Phase, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; add 1 "Red-Eyes" Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand.
 
So those are certainly a huge boost to Red-Eyes decks. Hieratic engine was already speculated as being great, and those just reinforce it. Thing is, which one do you think should be ran? Deck certainly doesn't have space for both. Lord of the Red has more raw power in both the monster itself and the ritual - you can tribute double Hieratics as materials and summon 2 things for Xyz/Synchro, or you can summon Lord for free by banishing leftover Red-Eyes from grave. Knight meanwhile adds a lot of consistency, letting you summon REDRUM right off the bat and start doing things and Ritual then digs for Spirit/Return/whatever.

Thoughts?

I personally prefer Knight of Dark Dragon; it adds consistency to a deck that badly needs it. Lord of the Red adds a lot of power, but I feel that it is less consistent.

 

Consistency vs Power is basically the deciding factor on which one you should run.
