Crysterror Originate

[☆☆☆☆☆] [5-8]
[Rock/Pendulum/Ritual/Effect]
1000/1000 EARTH

Pendulum effect: You cannot pendulum summon unless you control a Ritual monster. This effect cannot be negated. Once per turn, you can target 1 Pendulum Ritual monster, OR one level 5 or lower Ritual monster you control; banish it, then special summon one Ritual monster from your deck that is one level higher than that banished monster. Whenever you Pendulum summon a Ritual monster, you can place all banished cards on the top of their respective decks in any order you choose (even cards that would be placed on top of your opponent's deck).

Monster effect: During each Standby Phase, increase the attack of all Ritual monsters you control by 500, and the defense of all Pendulum monsters you control by 500. The first time each of your other Ritual monsters would be destroyed, they are not. If your opponent would special summon two or more monsters at once, you can return this Ritual or Pendulum summoned monster to the hand; all monsters they currently control are shuffled into the deck. You can only activate this effect of "Crysterror Origranate" once per turn, and if you do, you cannot activate it until your next Standby Phase.

While you control a Ritual monster, you can skip your normal draw phase; add 2 "Crysterror" cards from your deck to your hand.

Monster effect: Neither player can chain cards or effects to the activation of a Ritual monster's effect. Once per turn, if a Ritual monster is destroyed, you can target one other Ritual monster that is in your grave or is banished; your opponent must discard cards from their hand equal to half of it's level rounded down, or send cards from the top of their deck equal to its half of its level rounded up. That Ritual monster is then placed on the bottom of your deck.
