Future Ritual

[Zerovirus]

Future Ritual
Continuous Spell
This card can only be activated by banishing 1 Ritual Monster from your hand. During your Main Phase, you can send monsters from the hand or the field to the Graveyard, whose total Levels are equal to the Level of one of your banished Ritual Monsters, to Special Summon that banished Ritual Monster. (This Special Summon is treated as a Ritual Summon.) During your 3rd End Phase after this card's activation, destroy this card.

Generic support for Ritual Monsters! The name's intended to remind one of Future Fusion, except hopefully this card won't be so broken as to necessitate that it be put on the banlist. What this card does is basically allow you to ritual summon multiple times a turn over multiple turns- if you have the draw-power to sustain it. (Qliphoths have some pretty insane search power with Tool, and using Qliphoths as ritual material fodder could actually be a viable, since the Qliphoths are all pretty high-level and you can replenish them super-fast with the Trampolynx/Tool combo.)

Alternatively, build a deck made to cycle Relinquished. Open up with Dimensional Fissure or Macro Cosmos and just keep bringing Relinquished back from the banished zone. Level 1 cards have draw power, right?

Also, I'm considering expanding on this card as the core card of a new archetype, one which would specialize in banishing its own Ritual Monsters beforehand to give this card plenty of viable targets. It'd also have monsters which, when banished to summon a Ritual Monster, would have various beneficial effects such as popping your opponent's cards or searching your deck for more pieces of the Ritual cycling setup. Would this be an interesting archetype?

I think it's a pretty good idea, only what happens when the card is destroyed after the third turn? Are the ritual monsters banished again? Or do they stay on the field?

I would think this act the same as "Big Evolution Pill" so its possibly not going to affect the ritual monsters even if destroyed. Good card, great with cards that draw cards like "Sacred Sword of Seven Stars", "Cards from the Sky", "Dark Renewal", or plain removal "Gold Sarcophagus" just to summon it. "Dimensional Fissure" or "Macro Cosmos" might be too must for me. Herald can't use their effect with it on the Field.

 

About the archetype, how able a monster that when Normal Summoned it banish a Ritual monster from your Deck and when it is send to the Graveyard, add that Ritual monster to your hand. It can be use as a tribute for a Ritual Summon or something and you still get the banished Ritual monster. And possibly a easily summon low Level Ritual monster with a fair effect that banish itself instead of going to Graveyard. So yes another archetype other then those WATER Ritual monster is interesting.
