Some lovely Demons to go with my new Avi.

 

Basic plan is Life-Paying and said mechanic nullification, and beatdown with Attack Boosts. Thoughts?

[Tinkerer]

Ok, I'm gonna look at 'em in order

 

[spoiler Monsters]

Summoner: Summoner seems good, perhaps a bit too good?  In any case, I would suggest an OPT on it so that it doesn't go the way of Stratos, especially since it can search both the monsters and the ritual spells.

 

Creator: Creator is in the same boat as Summoner, though it is not as prevalent since it doesn't work on Normal Summon.  As it is, it is highly dependent on the ones in the Grave, so it seems to be limited enough in that regard.

 

Deal Breaker: Deal Breaker's search effect feels almost excessive what with Summoner, Manju, Senju and Prep of Rites for searching.  However, the second effect looks very promising allowing the triggering of all your other Main Deck monsters.  Might I suggest making Deal Breaker's tribute to Special Summon effect a bit more generic (ie. "tribute to Special Summon a level 4 or lower Spellcaster" or something)?  It would provide other useful techs for the deck so that it isn't so self-contained.

 

Mistress: (I assume this card was originally called Creator since that name was left in Mistress' effect).  A tribute recycler.  I would say the search effect is excessive, except Sonic Bird isn't used as often and Prep of Rites only grabs the spells from the Grave, so the spell search is actually more useful.  The tribute Special Summon seems fine, but it does open doors to getting multiple Ritual monsters on the field at once.

 

 

[spoiler Spells]

Corruption: draw power and ritual spell mill effect that is prevented from being broken through an OPT.  Seems perfectly fine.

 

Resurrection: Basically the same "issues" with this as Deal Breaker.  It works, but both feels too constricted and too loose.  If you are going to have it pretty much specifically work for Hellscape monsters, say so.  Otherwise, you can probably make the Special Summon targets more generic and, if it feels too powerful, add a further cost (maybe life point loss to tie it in with the rest of the archetype).

 

Destination: (the OPT in the beginning of the card is unneccesary with the HOPT in the end) Ah!  Generic Ritual Support.  Honestly, I don't have too much to say on this.  Seems perfectly fine as-is.

 

 

[spoiler Ritual Spells]

Calling: Well well... A generic ritual Spell that can Summon monsters from the Hand or Grave, eh?  Well, this definitely helps monsters in case they weren't properly ritual summoned to begin with.  The in-grave effect is the interesting one though.  It isn't broken at all (especially considering the 1k LP cost), but it's definitely interesting.  Despite how much it can do, I can't see any real dangerous interactions with this card.

 

Contract: Definitely the most dangerous of the 3 Ritual Spells.  Fortunately I cannot think of a specific interaction that breaks this card (lucky that FIRE and Graveyard don't mix too well), but stuff like Igknights, Infernoids, Lavals, Manticore of Darkness, etc. can potentially use this.  Again, nothing currently exists that would completely break this, but it definitely is dangerous design.

 

Possession: Feels slightly better than Calling since it doesn't care about levels and you still get a pretty high level ritual monster.  It can be used very effectively with stuff like a single Manju or some kind of recurring/protective fodder card like Treeborn Frog or battle stoppers.  I might recommend limiting the tribute further to a single FIRE monster.  The Graveyard effect is much more useful that the former 2 as it can be triggered by Jar of Avarice, Psyframe Omega, etc.  If you do happen to keep the ritual summon part of the card the same however, I would swap this card's Grave effect with Calling's to make that more useful.

 

 

 

Whew... I'll come back to the Ritual Monsters in a bit.
