Rituals are coming BACK! (16/16)

[Cody Frost]

Let's bring rocks back! And make them go top tire with a classic mechanic, Ritual Summon! Behold, the Jizen Archtype! These cards are a standard elemental set including WATER, FIRE, WIND, and EARTH monsters. They base themselves around Ritual Summoning from anywhere (including the Graveyard) by removing, reusing, and reforming resources while applying a variety of powerful effects. They are all going to be of decent stats and will have a tendency to have some hand advantage. This [i]was[/i] a simple 15 card set, but now I might be adding some new support. Hope you all enjoy.

Bump :/ I'm thinking of putting these guys into the YVD but I need to know if they're okay.

[Tempest of Reach]

[color="#0000FF"] I like the lock off them, a new ritual archetype... and they are about rocks which I like straight away. [/color]

These guys aren't an actual "lock" theme, more of a field control theme with some hand advantage.

Question: Should I make more support?

[Tempest of Reach]

[color="#0000FF"] Typo (somehow) I meant to say LOOK not LOCK *headdesk* And you need to make a general Ritual card that can summon any off them but has a cost [/color]

Hmm...a general Ritual Card...BRB

EDIT: Card #16 is up.

[Tempest of Reach]

[color="#0000FF"]Can't attack and your opponent draw's two cards?

Isn't that a bit much?

Well, you have the ability to Summon ANY Jizen Ritual Monster now, and they are pretty powerful. Maybe I should make it so that they can attack, but your opponent can draw 1 card?

[Tempest of Reach]

[color="#0000FF"]That sounds better
[/color]

[Cody Frost]

Alright, edited.

[Tempest of Reach]

[color="#0000FF"]Hmmm... I've got a weird idea, but how about a ritual monster that has to use the other ritual monsters as a tribute? Or maybe a ritual monster which gains a different effect depending on which attribute the rock type monster was tributed for it.
[/color]

[Cody Frost]

That actually sounds kind of interesting. I'll see what I can do later on today (because it's almost time for my annual get-lost-in-the-city-shirtless Bike ride).

[Tempest of Reach]

[color="#0000FF"]Oh and another suggestion.

All ritural monsters are level 8 so, Rank 8 Exceed monster?
[/color]

[Cody Frost]

Okay, it's been decided (by me) that this Set is officially over. Reason: The monsters are pretty powerful as they are. Without the large quantity of support cards, these guys are able to function pretty effectively with other "staple" cards as is. They don't need any SUPER boss monster as they are a control type already. In a way, these guys are ritual versions of Monarchs, with more ATK and DEF. Now I shall try and make them real cards.

[Tempest of Reach]

[color="#0000FF"]Alright then.
