Azuriena Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Card A: Could have been decent in Demise, Lord of the Red and Relinquished. You could have possibly run this alongside the upcoming Pre-Preparation of Rites for its ability to Ritual Summon from the Graveyard. But it can't Tribute the Ritual Monster (nor the Jus). This restriction is unnecessary and makes the card trash. Ritual Spell syntax is absolutely terrible (does not say what it Ritual Summons, wrong Tributing syntax, wrong Ritual Summoning syntax, has a colon for no reason). Card B: Actually relevant Attributes. Works decently in Relinquished, Demise, Tarotrei, Herald and Saffira (all trash from hand except Herald). Can Tribute Jus. The restriction on the Ritual Monster is unnecessary and makes this card trash in the hand. The Graveyard effect treating its Special Summon as a Ritual Summon is stupid, not only because it makes this card useless in the hand and only discard fodder or a mill, but because it would have otherwise made for a great revival effect for the monster Summoned by the main effect. Basically its Graveyard effect is too good compared to its main effect. Its cost was a very good idea as well. Chaos is a simple but good integration of flavour (yet it can't Summon Chaos Soldier lol). Decent Ritual Spell syntax. I had to cut this short because of time but Card B.

Love of Ghibli Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I vote for card B Card A: At first I was just enthused that Legendary Flame Lord was getting support...then it was bad support. This Ritual Spell doesn't do anything other than be a ritual spell. Nowadays, these spells must compensate for the immense minuses that it takes to actually perform ritual summons. The wording isn't really a problem seeing as I can clearly grasp the intent of the card. Card B: While I do loathe the fact that this somewhat enables a Chaos version of Herald decks and the fact that you could just get a free Herald of Ultimateness (there is no level restriction of any kind when Ritual Summoning from the grave i.e. Kuriboh can get Herald of Ultimate...) it does something. The second effect makes it so that what could have been a minusX will almost always be a +1. So because of sheer playability I go to Card B.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Card A is just a very specific Ritual Card for DARK/FIRE monsters; in the latter case, only Legendary Flame Lord and Lord of the Red. While it is a generic Ritual Spell card for certain Decks, I honestly don't see it being used much. If it allowed you to Tribute Rituals (and it is common to do so), then it would be better. As-is, not really. That, and Ritual Spell Cards nowadays generally have some secondary effect to provide support; this doesn't offer that. Card B has a larger pool of (viable) Rituals it can help out (Sapphy/Saffira, Herald of Perfection/Ultimateness, Tarotrei, Vene [that new one that got released]), but otherwise the effect lock for that turn hurts and would've been fine without that lock. One thing of concern is the fact that it nets a free Ritual Summon of any kind simply by banishing a LIGHT/DARK monster + this card, though it requires a different Attribute. So yeah, Chaos decks can just use this to spam whatever Rituals they want (space permitting); including Ultimateness. If it had a Level restriction, then I wouldn't have as much issues with this (but there isn't one). ----For playability reasons, B gets vote (again, 2nd effect is something that has the potential to be abused, even with the hard OPT).

Draconus297 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Honestly, I just joined because I was bored. I don't take things like this seriously. A winner are you, a rep is yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
