playking57 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 [attachment=37582:Wendigo.jpg] Text: This monster can only be Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Spell Card, "Heart of the Cannibal". Once per turn, you can select one of the following effects: - Sacrifice 1 monster on your side of the field. This monster gains ATK points equal to half of the ATK points of the tributed monster until the End Phase. -Sacrifice 1 monster on your side of the field. You gain lifepoints equal to half of the DEF points of the tributed monster. If one of these effects are not resolved each turn, the owner of this card takes damage equal to the number of monsters that have been removed from play X 200. I apologize for the cards poor grammar. I have edited it to the best of my ability in the description above, and will revise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommers2008 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Will the archetype be a ritual based theme? On to the card. Dont really like the name to be honest. Image is ok. In its effect you would use Tribute instead of Sacrifice and Banished to replace removed from play. But onto the effect itself i like the idea of it, it can be an added boost for attacking with an already strong monster that can hold its own against the best, its second choice can help in certain situations and can form combos with numerous cards, and can tribute itself if you dont want to suffer its drawback. I like rituals but in the current meta this is would struggle i suppose your archetype would help with support e.t.c and i would like to see more.

TheKaitoKid Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Okay first things first, lore: You can only Ritual Summon this card using "Heart of the Cannibal". Once per turn: You can Tribute 1 monster you control and gain one of the following effects: ● Until the End Phase, this card gains ATK equal to half of the ATK of the Tributed monster. ● Increase your Life Points by half of the DEF of the Tributed monster. During the End Phase, if you did not resolve one of these effects: The owner of this card takes 200 damage x the number of banished monsters. When it comes to the card, it's kind of meh. Sure, its stats are good and it's typing and attribute add a lot of redeeming factors but it's just not very playble. For one, it's Level 10 which means you're more than likely gonna have to use 2 or more monsters to Ritual Summon it. Secondly, you made it so that it can't be Ritual Summoned using anything other than its own Ritual Spell. That knocks off 2 of its redeeming factors, that being that it could be used with "Contract With the Abyss" (cause it's a DARK Ritual Monster) and it cannot be used with "Advanced Ritual Art" which is the most optimal way to get out Ritual Monsters. Okay then, moving on, its effect requires you to Tribute a monster you control and after all the wasted advantage (you go -1 minimum but you're most likely to go -2 or even -3), you have to go -1 AGAIN for a choice of 2 mediocre effects. Neither one is really amazing. Life Points really don't matter too much these days, and gaining half a Tributes ATK is nice and all but the highest it can get is 5500 for a turn, assuming it gains ATK based only on printed ATK values (the highest printed value for a card is 5000) at which point, if you have a monster with more ATK than this card's why bother? Then the last effect is what really kills its playability. Based on its wording, if its effect doesn't resolve each turn, you take random burn damage. Typically this isn't a big deal but I don't know how the rest of the archetype plays so I don't know how many monsters with be banished. The real issue is that since his effect is an Ignition Effect, it can only be activated during your Main Phase. That means, you will always take burn damage during your opponent's End Phase since you can't activate his effect during your opponent's turn. Not bad for a first card but not great either. I'd take this all of this into account and think more about its playability in general and not just focus on its archetype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKaitoKid Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Kalto doesn't ARA counter any of that only summoned by said ritual spell The thing is cards that read "You can only Ritual Summon this with X" are old and haven't recieved PSCT. The new cards read "You can Summon Ritual Summon this with X" omitting the "only". I assumed that OP was aware of PSCT and purposely restricted other Ritual Spells. Though in retrospect, I guess it could just be a case of not knowing about PSCT.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommers2008 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I no about the older cards e.t.c but ARA would still work on this card, it counteracts that text. I just suspect that this guy copy/pasted the ritual text from older card and didnt mean for it to actually mean its exclusive to the ritual spell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
