Ceremony of Fusion - A Ritual Spell Fusion support card!

Ceremony of Fusion

Ritual Spell Card

 

This card's name is treated as "Polymerization" while in the Graveyard. This card can be used to Ritual Summon any 1 Ritual Monster. You must also banish Fusion Monsters from your side of the field or Graveyard whose total Levels equal the Level of that Ritual Monster. Once, while this card is in the Graveyard, except the turn this card was sent there: You can Tribute 1 Ritual Monster you control, then target 1 of your banished Fusion Monsters; banish the Fusion Material Monsters listed on that monster from your Graveyard, and if you do, Special Summon that target.

 

 

 

I don't know... Just a wacky idea I came up with. I'm not sure what decks would be able to make the most practical use out of this card. Maybe some weird Nekroz variant, using Kaleidoscope to put a Fusion in the Graveyard?

 

The artwork would feature Relinquished and Thousand-Eyes Restrict doing some weird interdimensional shift-thingy.

 

So, any thoughts???

Maybe some weird Nekroz variant, using Kaleidoscope to put a Fusion in the Graveyard?

 

That fails to make full use of the card. Even if more generic Fusions come out (which Nekroz may be able to exploit due to their access of a decent variety of Types and Attributes), the Special Summon conducted by the last effect not being treated as a Fusion Summon makes Kaleidoscope with Ceremony of Fusion not as potent as it could be.

 

Merely sending a Fusion Monster to the Graveyard with Kaleidoscope to use with this card is not good enough. The Nekroz Ritual Spells already do it better by themselves. It also means you're not sending Herald for Unicore, making only Level 3/5/6 Fusion Monsters "good" to send with this, because Level 7-12 Fusion Monsters cannot be used with this card for Nekroz. And how often would you Summon a Clausolas/Catastor/Brionac using Kaleidoscope, then using this, in a single game, anyway? (Any other Ritual Monsters only make this card even more impractical.) It's inflexible and more often than not, it would be better to make another play, making this card dead in your hand.

 

That said, Unicore/Norden interactions aren't impossible. But again, Nekroz Ritual Spells work better for Unicore anyway, and this card is very fair, making the second effect decent (only because Norden is good), but not amazing, especially if you consider the amount of effort it takes to even pull it off. Also there's only 1 Unicore, so you want to Kaleidoscope with the one that you have.

 

With Fusions being so specific, and this card currently requiring the Fusion Monster to be properly Fusion Summoned first, I don't think there is anything that could make practical use of this card yet. The only other Deck I can think of that makes use of primarily both Ritual and Fusions monsters is Prediction Shaddolls, but I don't see this being good there either. A Ritual-Fusion archetype would have to come first, where the archetypal monsters can be used as correct Materials for the Fusion Monsters.

 

The thing is, Fusion Materials are already quite specific, and even if you have the correct Materials, with this card, you also need the correct Level math. That really limits with what this can be used (well) with. For instance, if this card's Ritual Summon effect didn't require exact Levels, you could at least banish Shekhinaga for Tarotrei rather than being forced to make Anoyatyllis (weaker / less relevant + harder to make). With it requiring Fusion Monsters for the Ritual Summon, I do think it passes the "criteria" for allowing non-exact Levels to be used for the Ritual Summon. (Like how Odd-Eyes Advent does.)

 

I like the artwork concept.

Thank you for your feedback, Azuriena.

 

I understand your points about it being not very effective with Kaleidoscope.

 

Making it require non-exact levels would indeed increase its usefulness. But I was thinking, what about the Graveyard effect was a Fusion Summon not just a Special Summon? That could allow for combos with Nekroz 'scope easier, as well as some other stuff.

 

Also, I fixed the title, as it said "Ceremony of Ritual" not "Ceremony of Fusion"
