Djinn of Rituals

[Draconus297]

Ritual of the Djinn

Normal Spell

When this card is activated, select and activate 1 of the following effects:

●Add 1 DARK Level 3 "Djinn" monster from your Deck to your hand.

●Reveal 1 DARK Level 3 "Djinn" monster in your hand; add 1 Ritual monster from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand.

You can banish this card from your Graveyard: Special Summon 2 of your banished DARK Level 3 "Djinn" monsters with different names in Defense Position, but the Summoned monsters cannot be used as Material for a Summon. You can only activate each effect of "Ritual of the Djinn" once per turn.

 

Okay, so it's a searcher for these things, because they're awfully inconsistent on their own. However, you also have the option to reveal one in your hand to grab a Ritual of choice, in case you've emptied out your targets. But the real meat comes from the fact that it can be banished to bring back 2 banished Djinns with different names, but specifically blocks their use as ED monster fodder without killing their utility as Ritual Tribute.

• ①: Give their synchros some good stats and protection.
• ②: Field presence.
• ③: Since most of their effects depend on them destroying monsters, I decided to make it easier for them to do so. Also, it is optional because some "Jurracs" has to be destroyed to activate their effects
• ④: Same reasoning above, since most of their effects are battle-reliant, they are slow, so why not share that with your opponent too.

Next: Laval

[Black D'Sceptyr]

 

Seditious Spirit of the Ice Barrier

WATER/Zombie-Type Spirit Effect Monster/Level 5/1600 ATK/800 DEF

 

Lore: Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by shuffling 1 "Ice Barrier" Spell/Trap from your GY into the Deck. Each turn, 1 Level 5 or higher "Ice Barrier" monster you Normal Summon can be Summoned without Tributing. Once per turn, during the End Phase, if this card was Special Summoned this turn: Return it to the hand, then if you control another WATER monster, your opponent can only activate 1 Normal Spell/Trap Card during their next turn.

 

 

Another Zombie counterpart, this time with the same distance (downward) in Level, ATK and DEF from its form previous in "Medium of the Ice Barrier" as the Sacred Spirit of the Ice Barrier had (above) from the Level, ATK, and DEF of its previous form, Prior. 

 

Self Summons, but expedites another Summon, like Prior. Has an alternate effect that triggers if it's returned to the hand and you've got another familiar on the field, like Sacred Spirit. And best of all, Level 5 Zombie shenanigans are easier to make again!

● Your opponent cannot activate the effects of monsters in the hand while you control this face-up Synchro Summoned card.

 

Notes: T.G.s needed more Level 5 Synchros.  Level modulation always helps, and I decided to throw in a "screw you" to hand traps while I was at it.  =3

You can only activate 1 "Super Quantal Mech Repairer - Magnadrone" per turn.

 

 

Notes:

• So, yeah-I decided to give the Quants what everyone's been waiting for-AN EQUIP SPELL, YEAH
• but seriously this can help expedite the costs of the Super Quant Xyzes even further, protects the equipped monster from battle and itself from card effects. What's not to love?
