Forum:Rite of Passage

I've been looking forward to using the new Ritual Monsters unleashed in Stardust Overdrive, so I created this deck based around the new support. The point is to clear the path between your monsters and the opponent's lifepoints, hence the deck's title.

I packed two copies of Chaos Sorcerer as I have a nice 11:8 mix of Dark and Light monsters to play with. Magical Exemplar can get out Summoner Monk but is mainly there to pull back Relinquished from the graveyard if I lose it from the field. Plaguespreader Zombie is the most convenient Tuner I can find for the deck to give myself more Extra Deck options. I'm running two Ritual Devil Presiders to three Ritual Devil Releasers because I have enough Level 4 monsters and Ritual Devil Releaser's effect is liquid gold once I get it into the graveyard to use in a Ritual Summon.

With 11 Dark Monsters in the deck I would be crazy to not include Allure of Darkness. Foolish Burial is there to pitch both Ritual Devils and Plaguespreader Zombie into my graveyard as needed. Giant Trunade, Heavy Storm and Mystical Space Typhoon take out those troublesome back row cards. My Ritual support spell cards and my Traps are fairly self-explanatory.

My Extra Deck is more of a Synchro Toolbox, designed to give me something I can use no matter what combination of Levels I have out on the field.

I often find it handy to "attach" Norsewemko to an opponent's Continuous Spell or Trap Card, as once I keep up the Beatdown with a Relinquished or two to hand, I can usually prevent my opponent from making a physical comeback. Not to mention if they pull out anything stronger I can kamikaze Relinquished into it, then use the effect of Relinquished to turn their own monster against them.
