You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field, and/or banish 1 monster from your Graveyard that was discarded and sent there this turn, whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon. While this card is in your Graveyard: You can pay 1000 LP, then target 1 other "Fallen One" card in your Graveyard and 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; shuffle both of those targets into the Deck. You can only use this effect of "Invocation of the Fallen Ones" once per turn.

You can only use this effect of "Darklord Beleth" once per turn. While this Ritual Summoned card is face-up on the field, it is unaffected by other monsters' effects, also switch the original ATK and DEF of all face-up monsters on the field.

[Black D'Sceptyr]

I'm in. And my suggestion, since it's officially HALLOWEEN-is some Ghostrick support.

[Abdelrahman]

I'd prefer something else. If your 2nd suggestion doesn't fit either, I'll take Ghostricks.

[Black D'Sceptyr]

Alright, my second choice was an Ecchitori favorite-something based off one of the creatures in here=Ritual Monster and Spell. Getting warmer?

[Abdelrahman]

So, a Ritual Monster based off one of the demons with its corresponding Ritual Spell, correct?

Absolu-tois.

[Abdelrahman]

Absolu-tois.

Then I accept. I 'll have to increase the entry deadline by 1 day, though, as long as you don't mind.

[Abdelrahman]

Cards are up.

Bump

[CatmanDaGamer]

Okay, this is my first time reviewing cards, so let's see how this goes.

 

Set A:

I love that these cards combine the Darklord and Fallen Ones archetypes, being equally beneficial for both.

 

Invocation of the Fallen Ones

This could work for Cyber Angels as well as the presumably intended target. I'm not saying they need it, but this could provide them with some good beatsticks. My one concern is that, even at the cost of LP, you have access to a Continuous Spell that puts your monsters back into your deck, and sends one of your opponent's Spell/Traps back to their decks. And because it's in the Graveyard, it would be harder to get rid of.

 

Darklord Beleth

This one has a pretty balanced ability. Nothing too powerful, but still a formidable foe.

 

---

 

Set B:

 

Red-Eyes Dark Ritual

So we have a generic Ritual Spell here. I'm glad that you didn't add anything extra to this card, as Red-Eyes really doesn't need any huge buffs.

 

Red-Eyes Dragon of Asmodeus

I think that this card is way too powerful for its level. It's just like a retrain of Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, but with a little extra crazy on the side. All that, and you can special summon another 3000+ ATK monster when it's destroyed.

 

---

 

My vote goes to Set A, for the overall ingenuity and usability of the set.

[Abdelrahman]

So, the contest ends with Set A as the winner, unless BDS has any final objections.

[Black D'Sceptyr]

None at all. Good show, mate.
