[Written] Ghostrick Ritual Support

[ViciDeli]

Ghostricks have always been my favorite archetype, and I thought it would be fun to experiment with some rituals that have Pre-Prep synergy, as well as more modern Ghostrick backrow. Would love to hear some critiques on these.
[spoiler=Monsters]Ghostrick Banshee
Lvl. 3 | Dark | Fiend | Ritual
300/2100
Cannot be Special Summoned, unless first Ritual Summoned through a "Ghostrick" Ritual Spell. Once per turn, during either player's turn, if your opponent Special Summons a monster from the Extra Deck: You can reveal a "Ghostrick" monster in your hand; Negate that monster's effects, and if you do, change that monster to face-down Defense Position. Once per turn, you can target 1 face-down Defense Position monster: change that target to face-up Defense Position. You can banish a "Ghostrick" card from your Graveyard, then discard this card from your hand; draw 1 card. You can only use each of these effects of "Ghostrick Banshee" once per turn.

Ghostrick Necromancer
Lvl. 3 | Dark | Spellcaster | Ritual

Once per turn, You can send 1 "Ghostrick" Spell or Trap from your Deck to the Graveyard; Special Summon 1 "Ghostrick" monster from your Graveyard in face-up Defense Position. You can banish a "Ghostrick" card from your Graveyard, then discard this card from your hand; draw 1 card. If this card is sent to the Graveyard, except by its own effect: You can target 1 other "Ghostrick" card in your Graveyard; add it to your hand.

[spoiler=Spells]Ghostrick Binding Contract
Spell | Ritual
This card can be used to Ritual Summon "Ghostrick Banshee" or "Ghostrick Necromancer". You must Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose Levels and/or Ranks equal or exceed the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon. If the card Summoned this way in your control is sent to the Graveyard: You take 1200 damage. If this card is in your Graveyard: You can shuffle this card and 1 "Ghostrick" monster in your Graveyard into your Deck; Draw 1 card. You can only use this effect of "Ghostrick Binding Contract" once per turn.

Ghostrick Sanctuary
Spell | Field
Monsters cannot attack face-down Defense Position monsters, but can attack directly if all monsters their opponent controls are in face-down Defense Position. Once per turn, if a face-up "Ghostrick" monster you control is destroyed by battle: You can change the attacking monster to face-down Defense Position, and if you do; Add 1 "Ghostrick" card from your Deck to your hand.

[spoiler=Traps]Ghostrick Haunt
Trap | Counter
When a Spell Card, Trap Card, or monster effect is activated, while a face-up "Ghostrick" monster, a face-down monster, and a "Ghostrick" Field Spell are on the field: Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it. You can only activate 1 "Ghostrick Haunt" per turn.

Ghostrick Eerie Midnight Quiet
Trap | Continuous
Activate this card only if you control no face-up monsters. At the beginning of your opponent's Draw Phase, banish 1 "Ghostrick" card from your Graveyard or destroy this card. While this card remains face-up on the field, if your opponent summons a monster with a Level/Rank less than or equal to the number of "Ghostrick" cards in your Graveyard: Negate that monster's effects, and if you do, change it to face-down Defense Position.

Bump -

Edited Banshee's effect:

Changed "'Ghostrick' card" to "'Ghostrick' monster".

 

 

Another one -

Stopped being a pleb and actually read the posting rules.

Enjoy the walls-of-text-less version of the post.

To help fix the "Ghostrick Sanctuary" effect, "You can change that opponent's monster that destroyed your "Ghostrick" monster during that battle to face-down Defense Position." could be reworded to "You can change the attacking monster to face-fown Defence Position."

[ViciDeli]

I thought as much, but I figured I would allow the benefit of the doubt given that most of the time when I see an "attacking monster" referenced it's before the damage step - That being said, I think that is the correct wording that should be used here, so thank you.

 

On that note -

EDIT: "Ghostrick Sanctuary" text changed from "...You can change that opponent's monster that destroyed your "Ghostrick" monster during that battle to face-down Defense Position..." to "...You can change the attacking monster to face-down Defense Position..."

YCM is fixed, and thus so is the post.
