Warrior/Ritual/Effect

You can Ritual Summon this card with "Quantum Dragon Ritual". You can Tribute this card; Special Summon 1 "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" from your hand or Deck. When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: Draw 1 card.

 

It's certainly better than the anime version. Discuss

...They actually printed this damn thing?
While I appreciate the fact it's been quite a while since any Ritual monsters were made, Photons, honestly, do not need a card like this.
Concept wise, yes, it's cool for the sake of more counterparts and allusions to others similar Level 8 3K boss monsters, but still, it's rather silly for them to print this.

Either way, it's an amusing pack addition.

I almost wish they had printed the Red-Eyes one, cause then at least I could make some weird RitualPaladin.dek. Otherwise, I've never seen a whole lot of use in these Ritual monsters, because there's far easier ways to get out what you need. I don't know a lot about Photons, but even I'll say this seems detrimental. Unless the RItual Card did some to nudge the deck along. Otherwise, a re-print of "White Dragon RItual" is just a deck-filler and unnecessary, thus making this card unnecessary.

This surprises you? Considering how few anime cards in the set had been announced I'm not surprised at all. No where are my 3 new Chronomalies?

Interesting. Yay for that last effect.

 

Photon Lizard likes this card. As does Photon Trident. However, 1900 ATK requires some dedication to preserving it if you're angling for the draw, and the last thing Photons need is more potential dead draws and inconsistent combos. Adding a Ritual Spell and a Ritual Monster is horrible for consistency unless you're using some sort of Orbital 7/Photon Lizard build.

 

I rather run Photon Crushers and go for Galaxion if I want that first effect.

Koushiryuu Kourin (Quantum Dragon Ritual)
[Ritual Spell Card]
This card is used to Ritual Summon “Paladin of Photon Dragon”. You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal 4. During your Main Phase: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; banish monsters from your Graveyard whose total Levels equal 4, then Special Summon 1 “Paladin of Photon Dragon” from your Hand (this Special Summon is treated as a Ritual Summon).

So...

 

It's reusable. Well, not quite what I was hoping for, but I could try it out. Seems that you could quite easily search Paladin with Lizard, Quantum Ritual with Manju, and then proceed to get out 2 Galaxy-Eyes or 2 draws off of monster destruction. Seems neat but the standard Photon/Galaxy formula is better I'm afraid. I'll give it a try once it's fixed on YGOPro.

1) I highly doubt you're running only one copy. 2) then you just mill something else, or use the stack effect. It's not hard to work out an alternative.

 

That's what I am saying.  If you pitch the spell, then you can go for some other Xyz to change-up the strategy.  It is awesome.
