respawnable fodder (Treeborn/etc)

 

= no damage at all

If they try to chain negation of the effects/etc, you can just chain back, and the fact tributing itself as cost to remove itself from the field means most negation stuff doesn't work iirc, since it won't be on the field anyways (same with like Rescue Rabbit ruling and stuff I think).

Not the best plays I had in mind for this. Decking out your opponent would be just impossible. Theres no way to keep recycling the Ritual monster from grave until there and your opponennt may as well draw some outs for this 'loop'.
