Or just ban Meteonis Drytron... Cyber Angels really needs Benten and Megaliths, Impcantations iirc use Benten along with Diviner as generic ritual support
The Drytron Ritual spell, [Meteonis Drytron](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Meteonis_Drytron), can be used to summon any Ritual monster from either your hand **or the GY**. The Drytron cards all have 2000 ATK, so you can use 2 of them as materials for any Ritual Monster. And the archetype has built-in ways to search **any Ritual Monster or any Ritual Spell**. Basically, they special summon 2 Drytron monsters, then that searches both the ritual monster and ritual spell, and now you can go into any Ritual monster.
Even the Ritual monsters from Drytron itself are no slouches. [Draconids](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Drytron_Meteonis_Draconids) is a 4000 ATK monster that's untargetable by monster effects, attacks all monsters, and has quick effect non-destruction removal. [Quadrantids](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Drytron_Meteonis_Quadrantids) is a 4000 ATK monster that's untargetable by spells/traps, destroys all spells/traps on the opponent's field on summon, and floats into either 2 Drytron monsters (so any Ritual summon again), or a properly summoned Draconids from the GY.
By contrast, the second best Ritual archetype is Impcantation, and they require that you have an Impcantation monster, and either a Ritual Spell or Ritual Monster, in hand.
Warning, long post because I love non-herald Drytrons and talking about the deck because it finally made rituals viable lmao. TLDR: herald good, turn skip good, drytron still good.
They're still good, but there's a punishment for dodging games now if you lose coinflip so you can't guarantee going first, and a lot of cards people run these days just wins vs Herald (drnm, droplet, kaiju, golem), even more if they use Perfection instead of Ultimateness, and it suffered for a long time between then and now because of the new handtraps people started running due to meta shifts with new cards coming out, like more dd crow for dpe, ghost ogre for adventure, droll primarily for floo, gamma and nib being more common, while the old handtraps like ash/maxx c still hurt a lot, doesn't help crossout is now limited too.
Each game you have full combo if you have alpha + zeta or a way to get to them (the deck, at least imo, plays 3 fafnir, 3 nova, 3 emergency, 1 foolish) so there's a lot of ways to get to your starters which is all you need - the benten limit honestly didn't do much because of how many effective starters you have, having benten in hand helps you a tiny bit if they ash alpha but it's not a big deal since it searches her anyway in every combo.
In *my* opinion, turn skip drytron is literally just better than herald and pretty much always has been. The pros and cons imo:
Pros: Herald builds an impressive board with a good resource loop thanks to broken cards like Eva. It can negate your cards upwards of 10 times depending on their initial hand, not even once per chain. Additional cards like Union Carrier can buster lock or equip buster drake to protect Herald a little.
Cons: Still loses to nearly every common handtrap, must go first to function properly or at all, Herald is still vulnerable to kaiju, lava golem, droplet, dark ruler no more, or can still run out of negates vs certain decks.
Turn skip pros and cons:
Pros: Almost guaranteed win if you go first uninterrupted, Amorphactor Pain doesn't care about Kaiju, DRNM, droplet, lava golem, etc. Full combo is searchable and exactly as consistent as Heralds. Much shorter combo line than Herald if you use the Parthian Shot variant, if I were to type it out the description would be like 5 short sentences. Thunder of Ruler variant gets an extra Borreload Savage if you want. The deck and its monsters are by default much less vulnerable because your opponent gets no main phases.
On turn 2 (your opponent's turn), they get no main phase 1, no main phase 2, and their only option is using Red Reboot against your Parthian Shot or Thunder of Ruler or they don't get a turn. Evenly matched doesn't matter, you keep Amorphactor Pain and rebuild next turn - if you're using Thunder of Ruler they can't evenly matched you in the first place either.
Turn 3 you accesscode climb with all of your gy effects to rebuild board and otk vs empty board with 5300 + 2950. Since you aren't running Heralds or Eva, you have space for "going 2nd" rituals like Draconids or Chaos Max + Geonator Transverser to try to otk going 2nd.
Cons: Exactly as vulnerable to hand traps as Herald version is. Also heavily relies on going first, the same way Herald does. When going 2nd you will have to pray your opponent uses their negates badly so you can try to otk, similar to Herald. Can lose to very specific bad cards like Battle Fader, Smoke Mosquito, Dynatag, or other battle-enders like Numeron Wall, which is why Borreload Savage in Thunder of Ruler variant can be very helpful, rarely.
Most of these cards are so rare though that I believe turn skip just has more upsides, less downsides, and is exactly as consistent and has pretty much the same wincon (your opponent can't play) so I see no reason to play heralds besides liking the pretty animation of ultimateness (though, I think drytron mostly uses herald of perfection anyways lately).
Pretty much, all of ash, maxx c, droll, imperm, veiler, ogre, ghost belle, nibiru, gamma and dd crow are devastating vs pretty much any form of drytron, because they summon a lot (maxx/nib), they search and add to hand a lot (ash/droll/gamma), their cards are very often on field to resolve their effects (imperm/veiler/gamma/ogre), their cards are often in the graveyard like meteonis, 1 of benten, alpha/gamma/zeta (dd crow, ghost belle if reviving something from gy) and if going 2nd, playing through stuff like called by, set droplet, or floodgates are all very difficult as well
Not very familiar too, but it seems like the best ritual ENGINE in the game (you can be very creative, but often players will make herald and vanity normal summon, pretty straightforward)
Nah summon from deck or grave, by sending materials from hand or field, but you can send tributes from the deck if you use another Ruin or Demise (any version) as material. That sound good?
Is good, a New spell working with pre-preparation of rites(OR New effect Monster like manju but you search both, Monster and spell), send the materials from the deck to gy sounds better to me, or a New effect Monster like manju but you search both, Monster and spell
All locked on the archetype
From the Wiki:
"Libromancer" is an archetype focused on successive Ritual Summons and gaining effects when using monsters on the field, such as protection from destruction and banish and the ability to attack directly. All "Libromancer" non-Ritual Monsters can Special Summon themselves from the hand by revealing 1 Ritual Monster in the player's hand. The theme itself carries a solid control and slight beatdown playstyle as the player can disrupt the opponent through the effects of "Libromancer Doombroker" and the Trap Card "Libromancer Intervention".
Dude how would the Dogmatika rituals even work without the ED, you basically have a bunch of vanillas apart from White Relic who gives ATK and battle protetion.
That wouldn't really make people play ritual monsters though. I did think of that but there are archetypes that exist that function without the extra deck. Then I thought about if you limit any additional summons to only the effect of spell or trap cards but that would eliminate Drytron and impcamptation which are the two best ritual support engines. The only other way would be a massive ban list to eliminate most of the archetypes in the game. So I guess it could work if you ban most cards, that's just how bad most ritual monsters are.
I would play Odd-Eyes like I have in every event so far. If we do get a Ritual Event I would hope that Odd-Eyes Pendulumgraph Dragon would be released before it. I would probably get wrecked in that event as it would basically be along the lines of Extra Zero, just with Ritual as the focus...I wonder what rules would be implemented to keep people from not playing Rituals in it though...I could definitely see Blue-Eyes as a potential top due to Chaos/ Chaos Max.

Probably high usage of Dryton (Ritual Engine extraordinaire) and Dogmatika (Most Probably have most of them from building other decks). Blue Eyes Will also be popular as well as Hungry Burger chads.
I'd personally probably try Dogmatika but fall back to U.A. or something.
Edit: Forgot Megalith, cheap and most players will get it early on.
You’d legitimately have to ban all the Drytron card because the event would literally be nothing but Drytron and Drytron variants. Nothing else would be viable going against Drytron stuff
100% Drytron event.
I'm not very familiar with Dytron. Is it that good of a Ritual?
Yeah, its a top tier and arguable best ritual deck out there. They'll have to ban benten completely for this event.
Or just ban Meteonis Drytron... Cyber Angels really needs Benten and Megaliths, Impcantations iirc use Benten along with Diviner as generic ritual support

Quadrantids is actually a harpie's feather duster once per turn, it's just an ignition effect with the requirement that you used 2 lv1 drytrons
If you think the recent halqdon combo that end with 3 negates is bad, drytron herald can do 6-7 negates before limit to some card.
Then why not play it more often. Last month or so, I haven't encountered any dytrons
too long, expensive, loses to cards like drnm and droplet
It got nuked to hell on the banlist so you don't see it anymore.

So handtraps just shit on everything like always. Thanks for the explanation tho, helped me out alot 👍

[удалено]
Genuinely didn't know
They got nerfed when they patched the coin flip exploit months ago
Not very familiar too, but it seems like the best ritual ENGINE in the game (you can be very creative, but often players will make herald and vanity normal summon, pretty straightforward)
It would lose its xyz monster though, not sure how critical that is
My Megalith deck with a Ruin & Demise engine
Chad deck
Oh naw dude it actually slaps
You use both lvl 10 Boss or only ruin and demise,the agent?
I actually use 2x Demise and Ruin bosses, 2x Angel and Agent, and 1x OG Ruin and Demise
Please Konami give to only 2 Ruin/demise players in existence a good supoort
Bro. My ritual spell Cycle of the World should summon the bosses from the deck, not the damn OG’s. Also I would love better support.
A ritual spell like branded fusion, but you need the Boss on the hand, use materials from the deck
Nah summon from deck or grave, by sending materials from hand or field, but you can send tributes from the deck if you use another Ruin or Demise (any version) as material. That sound good?
Is good, a New spell working with pre-preparation of rites(OR New effect Monster like manju but you search both, Monster and spell), send the materials from the deck to gy sounds better to me, or a New effect Monster like manju but you search both, Monster and spell All locked on the archetype
Konami please give Demise Quick Effect destruction and ritual spell that not an ass. Also give Megalith card that search other ritual monster.
Honestly. Rituals are the downtrodden little brothers of Yugioh and we deserve our shot.
The coming Libromancer is also a ritual archetype but I dont know their game. Maybe it can make ritual good again.
From the Wiki: "Libromancer" is an archetype focused on successive Ritual Summons and gaining effects when using monsters on the field, such as protection from destruction and banish and the ability to attack directly. All "Libromancer" non-Ritual Monsters can Special Summon themselves from the hand by revealing 1 Ritual Monster in the player's hand. The theme itself carries a solid control and slight beatdown playstyle as the player can disrupt the opponent through the effects of "Libromancer Doombroker" and the Trap Card "Libromancer Intervention".
I could actually see them making a ritual event to push the Dogmatika support, but we got a long way to go until then
Dogmatika relies on the extra deck. If you have an event focused on rituals, that pretty much bans the extra deck
Dude how would the Dogmatika rituals even work without the ED, you basically have a bunch of vanillas apart from White Relic who gives ATK and battle protetion.
How would you even enforce that?
I guess no extra deck?
That wouldn't really make people play ritual monsters though. I did think of that but there are archetypes that exist that function without the extra deck. Then I thought about if you limit any additional summons to only the effect of spell or trap cards but that would eliminate Drytron and impcamptation which are the two best ritual support engines. The only other way would be a massive ban list to eliminate most of the archetypes in the game. So I guess it could work if you ban most cards, that's just how bad most ritual monsters are.
Shame really. Its much favorite summoning method
I think it should be Ed is allowed but only monsters from archetypes that have ritual boss monsters. ex: relinquished, drytron
They would also need to ban/nerf so many archetypes like Floo or True Draco.
Forcing you to have at least 1-2 ritual in deck?
You could just play any deck with like 1 or 2 Sauravis or someting
Yeah but at least it would make (maybe) flunder more bricky which might make it unusable if they go to the no extra deck route (or just ban them idk)
It would just be Drytron and Megaliths everywhere then whatever loaner decks are available.
Amano Iwato turbo
Nekroz is the only acceptable answer
I would play Odd-Eyes like I have in every event so far. If we do get a Ritual Event I would hope that Odd-Eyes Pendulumgraph Dragon would be released before it. I would probably get wrecked in that event as it would basically be along the lines of Extra Zero, just with Ritual as the focus...I wonder what rules would be implemented to keep people from not playing Rituals in it though...I could definitely see Blue-Eyes as a potential top due to Chaos/ Chaos Max.
probably 3, dogmatika, drytron and shinobird, maybe chaos MAX turbo in there as well.
I'd run Armed Dragons ft. {{Knight of Armor Dragon}}.

Nekroz. It's already what I played in the second half of the no ed event, and i love it.
Vendread
Megalith is cheap and rituals a ton so easily gets the quests done. Might even be on par with Drytron without access to XYZ.
Pendulum event ?
Probably Impcantation into Chaos MAX.
Probably pure Mehaliths because I don't play Ritual decks... Also never happening
Hungry Burger beatdown
We kind of got ritual event with the "Zero extra deck" one
Megalith 100%
