Your thoughts?

[Pchi]

Ritual Tuners? An archetype that combines all existing monster categories (save for Normal)? Sign me in! While there are indeed some minor OCG mistakes, the concept behind the archetype appears to be quite neat. Are you thinking about adding Xyz, Pendulum, as well as more Synchro monsters later? A Fusion or Pendulum Tuner would be welcome too. Also, I find it sad that, up to this day, Konami has yet to release a FIRE Thunder or Psychic-Type monster.

Well the concept of recurring/recycling ritual monsters to fuel other rituals (without the need of non-ritual monsters) been something I have been pondering on for some time since ritual can ignite other ritual by fulfilling their fodder, the idea of an all ritual monsters main deck is some I do like to see some day.

While there are indeed some minor OCG mistakes, the concept behind the archetype appears to be quite neat.

Sorry about that and thank you.

Are you thinking about adding Xyz, Pendulum, as well as more Synchro monsters later? A Fusion or Pendulum Tuner would be welcome too.

Pendulum (even tuner pendulums) would take up space but, I have already went past the space limit so, I would let people decide which monster(s) they want in there, this archetype can do lots of various deeds with all the options currently on the table. there is a good amount of rank 1-3s one can choose to use but their own archetype one may happen. I was thinking on a rank 6 and level 8 synchro as well.

I find it sad that, up to this day, Konami has yet to release a FIRE Thunder or Psychic-Type monster.

Indeed, I made FIRE/Thunder so they will not have a lot of "great choices" for techs.

All the cards are balanced?
