This card cannot be normal summoned or set. This card can only be special summoned by the effects of "Golden Destruction Ritual". The ATK and DEF points of this card are equal to the combination of the ATK and DEF points of the dragon-type monsters used to special summon it. Every time this card battles, remove from play 5 cards from your deck. You can pay 1000 life points to negate the activation of a magic, trap or monster effect card when this card battles. The latter effect may be used more then once per turn.

This card is used to Ritual Summon "The Golden Dragon Of Destruction". You must also tribute 5 monsters printed as dragon-type whose total Level Stars equal 12 or more from the field and/or your hand and remove from play 5 cards from your deck.

[size=3]The fact that it would have an insane amount of ATK and the fact that you can't stop it, make this card OP, you can attack for an instant win, unless, you mean, with the latter effect that it doesn't affect stuff like Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder etc, but that would defeat the point. I would suggest just make it have a defined ATK like 4000 and then make the cost to negate a bit more. It is unnecessary to say "[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]The latter effect may be used more then once per turn", because it is already assumed to be like so if you do not put "Once per turn" or something similar and the proper thing to put in the ATK and DEF would be "?". This is a really insane card for Hieratics, if they somehow manage to achieve so many cards in their hand because you would instantly have a whole bunch of monsters to Xyz Summon with, which would pretty much mean insta-win unless your opponent had something like "Torrential Tribute".[/background][/font][/size]

My rate: 6/10

Actually due the fact it requires 5 and that when ritual summoning a monster you can't add more than the required level (for example in order to summona level 8 you can put in two level 4s, but you can't put in two level 4's and a level 1) means that though this goes for 5 and they have to equal 12, you'll probably be putting in level 4's or lower. So the combined attack might not be that bad.

actually, for some ritual summons, depending on the spell, you can have the level or more
It was always like that (with the exception of the End of the World cards) before Gishki and stuff came along

OK first off there are two things wrong with the cards that I can spot straight away:
A: This card has an unlimited amount of ATK and
B: There is nothing that can stop this Monster.

There are three things you should keep in mind when making a card:
(1) No monster should ever be lvl 12 unless it's incredibly strong(and thus really hard to summon)
(2) No monster should ever break the 5000 ATK limit
(3) No card should ever be uncounterable

Well (3) doesn't apply to all cards but it most certainly does apply to cards that can OTK your opponent or otherwise create a situation where it is really hard from them to recover.

First off I'm gonna correct some OCG errors for you in case you do not want to change your mind about this card:

[color=#000000][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]Now there are several ways you can balance this card out:[/background][/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)](1) make it so that the ATK of this card becomes 1000x the amount of monsters used to ritual summon it.
(2) remove the negation effect.
(3) limit the negation effect by making it only occur when you declare an ATK for instance.
(4) limit the negation effect by making it once per turn.
(5) put a fixed amount of ATK on the card that is less than 5000[/background][/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)](6) any suggestions above combined[/background][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]I hope this will help your in making a better card and I'd like to see what you can cook up with those things in mind.[/background][/size][/font][/color]
