... So you use an inconsistent engine that has nothing to do with the deck?

I mean, this card is horrible design, but there's no way to claim it's a gamebreaker because any way to summon it without negging yourself involves using an engine that doesn't help the consistency once you summon it.

Only really sounds decent as somethign to draw into after you have PErfect Herald and Saphira grind out the game on the board.

 

How is that inconsistent? They're searchable by Tour Guide (which can also be used as a tribute while bringing them to the field), and you can use them while they're on the hand, out on the field AND in the grave (probably after you already used them for a previous ritual, or after being sent there by Armaggedon Knight or other shenanigans) as ritual fodder. They'll hardly ever clog thanks to that.

 

Though I'm inclined to believe it's better having a Herald of Perfection summoned by tributing Releaser than that thing. The only downside is that Perfection's summon can be negated, but it's not like there many widespread meta cards out there which can do the job.

You're running a fiend engine that's reliant on drawing your guide that's reliant on normal summoning Manju to get the spell and monster that's reliant on having fairies in hand.

No matter how you look at it, it will cost at least 3 cards, and will not in any way guarantee you're holding fairies for the cost. Being fiends removed any actual synergy with heralds.

On top of this, you need multiple Normal Summons to consistently pay off. Preparations of rites doesn't help because this guy is 12.

So between Kuribandit (which sounds helpful in here, despite clogging more), TGU, and Manju, you have to normal summon to get set up but need multiple NSs to do so unless you god hand.

That's inconsistent. Even cut out bandit and it's still going to brick way more than it succeeds.

There's a reason no one plays djinn herald now

Really? I thought that was still THE build to go with Heralds, specially since summoning Perfection with the Releaser completely locks the opponent's game. Meh. Still believe there's a way to circumvent those obstacles, at least with Perfection.

You can Ritual Summon this card with “Oracle of the Herald”. This card must be Ritual Summoned, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways.
(1) You can send 1 Fairy-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard; Activate one of the following effects:
• When an Effect Monster’s effect, or a Spell/Trap Card, is activated: Negate that activation, and if you do destroy it.
• When the opponent would Special Summon a monster: negate that Special Summon, and if you do, destroy that monster.

 

So Advanced Ritual Art can Summon it now.  :V

When getting to Level 12, Level 3 monsters aren't really helping. Your Manju is Level 4, TGU+Djinn whoever nobody cares add up to 6, and you now have 10 Levels worth. Which means you need YET ANOTHER monster, for a grand total of four monsters used for the Ritual Summon. The Manju, TGU, and the Djinn will be a minus (TGU plussed you the Djinn, however); the last minus may be another Djinn in the Grave, or it may not. It is a minus, however, if you mill it with Foolish Burial. Because Manju is instrumental in these Summons, you're likely going to use a Level 4 for the Summon irregardless of what Level the Ritual Monster is. The best other Level to Ritual Summon it with, therefore, is some Level 8 thing. As in, Ritual Darklords, which I can't see as remotely threatening.

 

Well, since ARA can Summon this apparently, then this becomes a lot better. There are only two Level 4 Fairies that aren't total garbage (Dunames and Spirit of the Harp, but Shining Abyss could probably replace Spirit of the Harp if the user wants all of the Fairies to be able to beat), which is plenty enough. The only Level 6 one is Gyakutenno Megami, who is always a dead draw. The only DARK one, for the sake of Chaos purposes (really, in most ARA builds you can go Chaos just because it splashes in pretty nicely and you don't have anything better for your Normals to do except be fodder anyway) is Doma, who just had to be Level 5 and not synergetic with this at all (well, Wingweaver is Level 7, but you're going to dead draw forever). But at least ARA can Summon this now, which means you can run better things than Ritual Darklords.

I don't see this card being more effective than Herald of Perfection. It's significantly more powerful once Summoned, but it requires twice the investment as Perfection, and stat-wise it's only 200/200 stronger. Summoning Herald of Perfection (a Level 6 Ritual) is much easier than Summoning a Level 12 Ritual. Also, Perfection's Ritual Spell let you recover a Fairy by banishing it from the Graveyard.

 

In my opinion, running Herald of Perfection is just a better option than Herald of Revered.

The above is assuming it's not an ignition that negates indefinitely, correct? If it does so forever, this is certainly going to be an issue. If it's a rehash of Perfection, no problem at all.

 

 

I fully expect it to just be an upgraded Perfection, and not an Ignition that negates indefinitely. Honestly, if it negated indefinitely, it would be too powerful for the investments. I consider this card too difficult on the assumption it's a better Perfection.
