Given all of the new ritual support we've been seeing recently, I've been thinking about all of the old ritual archetypes that we've had in the past. While Nekroz isn't very playable, Herald / Cyber Angels seems like a good anti-meta deck to try out.

 

Herald of Perfection

Level 6 / Light / Fairy / Ritual

1800 attack / 2800 defense

 

You can Ritual Summon this card with "Dawn of the Herald". During either player's turn, when your opponent activates a Spell Card, Trap Card, or monster effect; You can send 1 Fairy-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it.

 

given that on the last banlist we've had, preparation of rites went back to 3, searching a level 6 ritual monster seems pretty good, especially one that negates everything. You can also search it with pre-Preparation of Rites since the spell card that summons the Herald lists the Herald specifically

 

Preparation of Rites
Spell - Normal

 

Add 1 Level 7 or lower Ritual Monster from your Deck to your hand, then you can add 1 Ritual Spell Card from your Graveyard to the hand.

 

since a lot of herald decks in combination with ritual sanctuary and the cyber angel engine ( benten being a pretty good searcher ) can make 2 or more heralds with 2-3 negates in hand, and with the star seraph engine potentially allowing you to draw 3 cards and make an evilswarm ouroboros, taking 1 card out of your opponent's hand, you could probably make a good anti-meta deck around it, and even keep it kaiju proof while your at it.

Why summon more than one herald? Makes more sense to use the rest of your resources for saphira, or some other thing to renew resources, or a boss that doesn't draw from the same fuel as herald, such as Titanic Galaxy.

 

if you just have one herald, if your opponet kaijus it you can't negate anything with the herald

while you can't be kaiju'd, you also lose resources too quickly. there's no reason not to have 2-3 copies in deck of herald of perfection, but dropping 2 copies to field gives you nothing that 1 cannot already accomplish. if your opponent kaijus you in heralds,they still have to go the extra mile to kill you, and even i you have a 2nd herald on board, you are still forced to deal with the fact that heralds burn can through their resources very quickly. on the other hand, having a herald and a saphira on board, means that you are replenishing advantage far faster, and while losing a herald may hurt, you will still have not only enough resources to bounce back quickly, you will still have a monster on board.

 

in short, getting kaiju'd hurts a 2 herald field more than a 1 herald field 1 saphira field. for the simple reason that you are not regaining your resources under a 2 herald field. yes, you keep your negation monster, but you are not getting anything back from said monster. meaning If they break your board, you are no longer able to sustain an offence or defense.
