Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, assuming it's effect has successfully been activated, upon declaring an attack can change the Battle Positions of as many of your opponent's monsters as you want, and upon doing so, their ATK and DEF becomes 0, and the dragon inflicts piercing damage through defending monsters. The other 2 have no specific requirement other than the Level.Īs mentioned earlier, each Ritual Monster can punch through defensive lines and inflict damage in different ways. Just be sure to choose Blue-Eyes White Dragon as the monster when Ritual Summoning Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, as it's effect requires that monster to be sent in order to activate. You'll likely never use both Alexandrite Dragons for a Ritual, but it is a possibility. For the Rituals, you have access to 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons, 3 Rabidragons, and 2 Alexandrite Dragons, all at Level 8, meaning you only have to send 1 monster at a time, with the latter being Level 4, requiring both.

(Each of the Ritual Monsters are Level 8). All are Ritual Summoned by Advanced Ritual Art, which requires you to send Normal Monsters from the Deck (rather than your hand) to the Graveyard, whose Levels equal 8. The 3 Ritual Monsters are Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, and Shinato, King Of A Higher Plane. The other half is various types of support, such as Life Point protection, Graveyard recovery, and Special Summoning. This review won't be as complicated as many of my others, as literally half of the deck prepares and initiates the Rituals. If the Rituals cannot be performed early for whatever reason, there are plenty of ways to get monsters with 2950+ ATK on the field. The theme of this deck is the Ritual Summoning of 3 of the most broken Ritual Monsters I could find, each with ways to bypass the opponent's defenses and inflict damage in some sort of way. There is a bit of XYZ Summoning that can be done here, and the Ritual Monsters included are fairly new, but for a deck that plays like traditional Yugioh back when the Extra Deck was called the Fusion Deck, it gets the job done. This is a bit more old school, calling back to the olden days when Ritual Monsters were the big bad bosses you had to watch out for. That kind of meta-play ruins the game for me.

At least for a deck that doesn't rely on absurd amounts of Special Summons, multiple Link Summons, a field full of monsters, and 15+ cards in the Graveyard on the first turn of the duel. What you are looking at might be the strongest deck I've ever constructed.
